"Do you think I'm just here to fiddle? Absolutely no. I arrive from the airport, I enter the city and there are practically 400 people out of 200 without helmets and in all places there are three rows of cars in the middle of the road and it is difficult to pass. This means that you have not understood what the meaning of existence with others is. You don't know, you don't know. There's no point in hiding behind the fact that you have the most beautiful sea in the world. That's not enough, you're an island of shit. I don't love Sicily which ruins its intelligence and its culture, which when I go to see Selinunte, Segesta there is no one there. I don't love this Sicily that is thrown away.From the meeting Merchants of light. Narrating the beauty between fathers and children; quoted in Salvo Intravaia, Vecchioni: Sicily "island of shit". The mayor of Palermo: "he is right" , Repubblica.it , 3 December 2015. </ Ref>"
