Giorgio La Pira (Pozzallo, Italia 1904-Firenze, Italia 1977) è stato l’indimenticato sindaco di Firenze, ancora oggi ricordato in tutto il mondo per il suo instancabile servizio alla pace e all’unità fra i popoli.

La sua è stata un’eccezionale personalità, che ha coniugato il cristianesimo con il valore di realizzazioni tangibili.
La Pira è riuscito così a declinare la vocazione politica in servizio concreto alla sua amata città e al mondo intero, rendendo credibile l’idea di una sola famiglia umana.

Il 15 Novembre scorso si è tenuto a Firenze un convegno per iniziativa della Fondazione La Pira, che ha ricordato l’incontro tra il “sindaco santo” e Léopold Sédar Senghor, poeta della negritudine e presidente del Senegal.

Per l’occasione Maurizio Certini, direttore del Centro Internazionale Giorgio La Pira di Firenze, ha rilasciato un’intervista che offre una chiave di lettura attuale sulla città e sui rapporti tra Africa e Europa nella visione di questi due testimoni di fraternità.

Die folgende Geschichte beginnt an einem Abend mit Donner und Regen in irgendeinem römischen Bus.  Nein, fangen wir noch einmal neu an: Sie beginnt in Tagab, einem Bergdorf in Afghanistan, wo Hunger, Kälte und Angst Reisegefährten jeder Familie oder jedes Jugendlichen sind, der ins Leben hinaus möchte.

Oft sind sie der Grund für Verschwinden und Flucht, um irgendwo anders einen Landeplatz zu suchen. Vier Halbwüchsige machen sich auf die Reise und im Dezember 2008 eine erste Zuflucht ausgerechnet in in jenem römischen Bus.

Von Paolo Balduzzi, Rom
