Their wish was to be able to play in the little square in front of the house, which they see every day from the window. When Emilia and Francesca, 8 years old, roller skates on their feet, arrive after lunch to find that space protected from traffic full of waste: broken glass bottles, paper, plastic. So you can't run and play. So what do they do? They decide to try to clean it up to play (today the Municipality's Urban Ecology service will arrive to definitively free it from all the abandoned waste), then on a sheet of paper they write a strong message "for adults", to raise awareness so that in the future they will adopt civil (and adult) behavior, keeping the little square clean.

"There are small stories in our city," like this one, "that deserve to be told because they reawaken that sense of belonging that helps us love and respect it more and more," says the councilor for Urban Ecology Luisa Giua Marassi. "These two girls, instead of going home and forgetting what happened, chose to do something, bearing witness to that act of incivility through creativity, spontaneously . As soon as possible, together with the mayor we will receive them in the City Hall with the class."

It happened in Genneruxi, in the small square Vittime della Strada (behind the supermarket) .
