It may not be my country but I am very touched by the earthquake in adjacent Italy. At least 250 people died and thousands are homeless. Around 300 tremors happened yesterday. Silvio Berlusconi refused to accept the international aid, because Italy has “a proud people and has enough money to overcome the situation.” But beds or tents to help the new homeless were impossible to find the third night.
Let’s note nevertheless a miracle of the drama: a 98-year-old woman had been evacuated after she spent 30 hours alone.
I think this image is not like the others we can see about the disaster. The guitar contrasts with the ruins with its colors, its beautiful shape, and above all its message, which is to me a message of hope. The evocation of music is cheerful in comparison with the mournful atmosphere. It gives hope to find some survivors before the deadline -48 hours- given to rescuers. The guitar is damaged but totally recognizable; it makes me think that reconstruction is possible and that these people, some of whom lost everything, can have a fresh start.
