Following in the footsteps of Bălcescu in Palermo
To visit the former Hotel Alla Trinacria where Nicolae Bălcescu died, and Piazza Garibaldi from Piazza Marina, in the short time before leaving from Palermo to Catania, we used transport by moto ape (lapinu in sicilian). In Palermo is taking a fight to the tourist to do sit on the seat : Bee taxi cab drivers against drivers, drivers of cars against taxi drivers, taxi drivers Bee against coachmen of carriages. Ape (Italian bee, also known as Vespacar) is a pickup truck and a dreirädiges the Italian manufacturer Piaggio scooter mobile. The Ape has been made since 1947 in Italy and since the introduction of the limited edition of 2007 in India.
So, we went from Piazza Pretoria on Via Maqueda passing through: Piazza Bellini, Via Roma and finally on Corso Vittorio Emanuele almost to the end, where we entered the Piazza Santo Spirito and Foro Italico Umberto I. On this avenue we entered via Butera and so we came to the house no. 24 where was the Hotel Alla Trinacria and where Bălcescu arrived on October 17 1852 at 9 pm. after a journey of almost three days by boat Ercolano, coming from Naples. Bălcescu was housed at room no. 26 but his health deteriorated rapidly and in the evening of November 27 1852 he died. Two marble plaques on the facade, confirms the passage of Bălcescu and Garibaldi there.
We continued on via Butera, Corso Vittorio Emanuele up to Piazza Marina and Villa Garibaldi. Piazza Marina was designed by architect Giovan Battista Filippo Basile between 1861 and 1864. Piazza Marina, had been used for Aragonese weddings, victory celebrations, and, unfortunately, public executions. In the villa there are busts that of Giuseppe Garibaldi, Rosolino Pilo, Giovanni Corrao, Raffaele De Benedetto, Louis Tukory. A bust of Nicholas Bălcescu was installed in 1961 in Piazza Marina (Giardino Garibaldi) of Palermo. The shock front is the inscription Nicola Balcescu grande storico e patriota romeno, morto of Palermo, April 29. 1819-28 nov. 1852, and on the left reads: Busto offerto dall'Accademia Popolare della Republica Romena in Occasione dello Principati Romen's Anniversario dell'Unità dei delle celebrazioni dell'Unità d'Italia - anno 1961 .
Migranti, strage continua. Le Ong si difendono: siamo trasparenti
Roma, (askanews) - Mentre continuano le polemiche intorno al ruolo delle Ong nei soccorsi in mare ai migranti, che secondo alcuni potrebbero essere finanziate dai trafficanti, continua la strage nel Mediterraneo. Una nave di Medici Senza Frontiere ha riportato in porto, a Catania, altre sei salme, le ultime di una lunga serie.
Le Ong, da parte loro, difendono il loro lavoro in mare nell'opera di soccorso. Michele Trainiti di Medici Senza Frontiere: Noi non possiamo parlare del lavoro di altre organizzazioni, quello che possiamo dire è che li vediamo con noi tutti i giorni a salvare vite al largo delle coste libiche, oggi purtroppo qui a Catania stiamo sbarcando sei salme, tutte persone che sono morte nel tentativo di cercare una vita migliore e lasciate morire dalla mancanza di una risposta europea a queste necessità. Sia Frontex ha detto che non ci sono prove che ci avvicinano ai trafficanti, sia EuNavforMed e il procuratore di Siracusa, quindi non capiamo perché ogni giorno si inventino una cosa nuova.
E Trainiti precisa: Noi siamo degli umanitari e non potremmo mai accettare di avere forze di polizia a bordo perché andrebbe a snaturare la nostra attività, poi se è una decisione del governo noi ci rimettiamo, ma sospenderemo la nostra attività.
Anche Mathilde Auvillain, portavoce di SOS Méditerranée non riesce a capire la polemica: Siamo trasparenti, faremo vedere i rapporti su tutte le operazioni di salvataggio di quest'anno in mare e speriamo che questo sforzo serva a porre fine a tutte queste polemiche che di fatto - dice - distolgono l'attenzione dalla tragedia umanitaria che continua nel Mediterraneo. Sono già centinaia i morti dall'inizio dell'anno e la situazione andrà peggiorando in estate.

STORYLINE
The small Italian island of Lampedusa was in a state of agitation on Sunday as the local population geared up for Monday's visit by Pope Francis.
The local priest frantically worked to prepare a wooden boat as an altar, volunteers set up chairs for the outdoor mass, and journalists flooded an improvised media centre.
Lampedusa is a treeless, strip of an island, nine kilometres (four miles) long in the middle of the Mediterranean, closer to the African mainland than to Italy.
Every year thousands of migrants attempt the 138 kilometre (220 mile) crossing in rickety wooden boats and leaky rubber dinghies. They pay exorbitant fees to human traffickers to make their way towards what they all hope will be a better future in Europe.
In the past thousands of these migrants have died at sea.
According to Fortress Europe, an observatory on migrations and refugees, there have been 13,869 victims counted in the Mediterranean Sea between 1988 and November 2012.
Of those, 6,649 died in what is known as the Sicilian Canal between 1991 and 2012.
According to the Italian government 6,970 migrants landed on Italian shores between 1 January and 19 June this year - 3,500 of them on Lampedusa.
The island, with a local population of roughly 5,000 people, has struggled desperately to keep up with the pressure. There is a holding centre on the island which has room for nearly 400 migrants but it is often packed with hundreds more waiting for a flight to transfer them to the Italian mainland.
Often it is the fisherman from Lampedusa who find the migrant boats when they are out fishing.
The Italian Coast Guard constantly monitors the waters both on the sea and from the air and rescues all the boats they find, taking the migrants on board or if their boat is still seaworthy, escorting it into the port. But the Italian Coast Guard does not always make it on time.
