Humans, all too humans

Union is evolution, and it's the only solution... A TEDX talk in Vicenza

How times change...

In the thirties my grandfather Carlo was the fascist mayor of the town where I grew up, Valdagno, in the province of Vicenza. My father named me after him, Carlo, convinced that my grandfather was on the right side of history.

We are 2 brothers and 2 sisters. The second born married a Jamaican man and had a son with him. My brother married a Jewish woman and had three children with her. I married an Indian woman. The eldest daughter married and had three children with a man who in Valdagno some describe as "a guy from the South," because he is from Vicenza, which is indeed 30 km South of Vicenza.

In short, we are a United Colors revenge against the idea of the separation between those who are of a different religion, those who come "from outside" and those who have a more intense concentration of melanin in the skin.

How times change...

And they change also for the better, because this generational gap, for me, is a positive historical evolution. It’s not taken for granted. Because history doesn’t always move forward. It doesn’t always move in the direction of progress.
