Rossano Rubicondi (ANSA) died

(ANSA) – COSENZA, 29 OCT – Bewilderment and consternation is expressed, in Cosenza, at what happened on the main street of the city, where unknown, after many citizens had filled the “Free library” created years ago by Liceo classico “Telesio”, they emptied it, throwing all the books in a garbage can located nearby. The director of the high school, Antonio Iaconianni, immediately reported the incident to the competent authorities.

“It is – affirms Iaconianni in a note – an episode of unprecedented gravity, for what the Free library represents, for the very high symbolic value that makes Cosenza a city sensitive to culture and growth. monument ‘to reading that is in all major European cities, particularly in the northern countries. The vile episode is an outrage to our consciences. Whoever thinks that with these stunts undermines the serenity of our city and of our school and culture, is wrong and he has a naive and pseudo-mafia vision of social relations. Defiling a place with a very high symbolic value means bringing out all the moral degradation of those who carry out these gestures. My condemnation and of the whole school community I represent is categorical “.

“The excellent teachers who work every day to give quality education to future generations, the splendid students who live in our classrooms every day and the precious ata staff – concludes the director of the Lyceum – will continue to work hard to promote cultural and training and episodes of this kind only comfort us in the fact that we are on the right path, but for a real cultural revolution in our very difficult land of Calabria, the path is still uphill! “.
