Feast of the parà. The relay from Tarquinia starts.

(To Giampiero Venturi)
15/10/15

The parachute party is not a specialty event, but a tribute to value. Contingencies don't matter. What matters is the meaning, the result of a silent sharing and a passion without limits of space and time.

The "Relay of the Ideals" in its 2015 version starts from the cemetery of Tarquinia, the shrine of the parà fallen on the launch fields. Destination Gamerra barracks in Pisa, 240 km north, where the torch, passed from hand to hand, becomes the flame of eternal sacrifice.

Between asphalt and infamous time, different ages and hearts are aligned for a common goal: an ideal is not a cold testimony; it is the transition between yesterday's value and today's faith.

The relay summarizes the two essential ingredients that animate us amaranth Basques: the Gascon character and the sense of duty and discipline. Aurelia is a backbone; the torch in the hand is the spirit that illuminates it.

Greeted by the president of the ANPdI of Rome Adriano Tocchi, General Carmine Masiello, opens the relay giving the example of self-denial and sharing. Its link with the Folgore is genetic and animates the torchbearers who then alternate along the route, night and day. We proceed with the passages of the hamlet between horrendous rain and motorists who queue up, question each other and at the end adapt with a smile.

Running and passing the torch from arm to arm is a crazy pleasure. In the effort, in the smile that always identifies us, we go! When madness has a healthy goal, it's called passion. And passion is in the hearts of all of us.

In Pisa we expect something that goes beyond the anniversary of the battle of El Alamein. We are in Pisa! In Pisa there is healthy Italy.
