"When my government career came to an end, I received several offers to return to university as an associate professor. I chose Palermo because I consider it a bastion of legality, the place where I can best continue my civic and political commitment. Interviewer: What excites you most about returning? Nandoi dalla Chiesa: The desire to see my beloved places again and smell the scent of salt, jasmine, and orange blossom that I have carried with me. And then there is the sea at Mondello, the elegance of Via LibertĂ , and the delicious food. I know that many things have changed since my high school and military service days, but many others have remained the same. I will start again from these."
