THOUSAND
AND THREE HUNDRED A SUD IN MILAN
For us that we come from Milan,
and we don't have parental bonds in Calabria, the matter and'
very simple: Or the South us you have for a long time there
in the blood, and you feel him/it strong as a spoon of ‘nduja
to empty stomach; Or and' very difficult to take the car every
Saint Summer from 1979 - in the last years also with a dog
- and to cross there all Italy reaching under finally the
Lighthouse of Point Stylus as if we had arrived on the beach
in Miami in Florida. But this and' what my Father and my Mother
have transmitted me, and and' from here that I will depart
for explaining you that, for example, to find a serious and
professional Diving in Calabria placed to Stylus e'… a normal
thing. You have to know that the Milaneses are particular:
People that the absorbed day passes in the fog, that and'
flood of pains to the sciatic nerve, that and' happy se… this
morning has been less cold than the usual one because we were
to –5Y…, that vague one whole afternoon for a parking lot
in center and that on Saturdays pass with a cart of the expense
to drive. In this context and' natural to understand that
if sometimes (but and' however rare) a family stops him and
he asks “…Ma as we are living? …” and' easy that he answers
escaping you/he/she gives summer in the more point away from
proper house that the first geographical map points out: Calabria!
Calabria si… but which? And and' is so that the S.S.106 for
my family and had been becoming for years road of house dell’
Summer and, to fury of visits, of trips, of excursions, and
of moments irripetibili… of the our great ‘Duomo de Milan’
during August we don't certainly feel nostalgia of it. To
the of ‘Sopra’ we have visited a lot and a lot of c’ and'
still to see, but it missed an important detail to be able
to define it completes the knowledge of this Great Earth:
But … ‘sotto’? My name is Jacopo, I am 15 years old and I
have achieved the brevet of Diver of 1Y degree, Open Water
Diver, in 2005 near the Diving Center Stings Stylus, to Stylus,
Reggio Calabria. I have known Alfina and Mario by now 3 summers
ago (here the time I measure him/it so) and I have decided
there only last year to do on the ‘serio’ with the world of
the scuba diver. On the ‘serio’ he/she meant to approach with
calm' and safety to something again, something that behaved
to understand, to study, to appraise and to apply new notions
in a world that was not that in which footstep the most greater
part of my day: I had safety need, io… and there they also
had need my parents. This doesn't want to be the usual story
of a bridegroom sub, but of which anch’ I have enjoyed the
positiveness of it (among spirografi, anemones, corals and
fantastic passages in the blue one more' deep in the sea of
Calabria) but rather a message of incitement to come here
for understanding, to live and to share an earth so' and the
people that lives there: Way of living this experience in
this Diving and proper state to interpret this philosophy.
To stop himself/herself/themselves on the completeness of
the theoretical lessons of Mario and rightful Alfina Tassone:
Times and times of courses, to any level very complete, I
am well you invest, because ‘sotto’ he never jokes and the
theory immediately becomes practice, the notions suffered
reality' with which to compare him and Mario and Alfina they
are my Teachers. A ‘parete’, near the Center of the Diving,
covered of framed brevets, achieved in every year of career,
I am a ticket of presentation that not all can be allowed
and that you/they have brought this Center to be recognized
as Official Center in Calabria of Civil Protection from the
Office Inside dell’ and de President of the Republic. What
could I ask more? Not only. The patience and there experience
of Alfina and Mario have been me essential sott’ water: I
wanted to touch what I saw, I wanted to run after any type
of fish, stayed me spellbound to talk to scorfani that then
so much ugly not sono… in short, without Alfina and Mario
to my side sott’ water would have been to lose effortless
… the compass or to confuse a dangerous vermefuoco with another
more' kind to be sea. But not only this. I have also found
that this Diving, after the activities' sporting, it deals
him with to make to socialize the sub affiliates to the Center
in different recreational forms of aggregation. I will never
forget, during last summer, to have passed my nights more
‘particolari’s together with Alfina and Mario. L’occasione?
Caulonia Marina, another small center next to Stylus, in which
every year a denominated Festival ‘Taranta Power’ develops
him where you dance, games and popular traditions meet him
for the tourists and the local population. And' this and only
an example of as the due knowledge to the society of sporting
affairs among us sub can also continue in other activities'
recreational. This for the wish of the Diving and, then, of
all the participants. In short: activity' sporting and friendships
in the more sea' blue of our South. My experience, my message?
Approach to this sport, you appraise the scuba diver as something
of really instructive and relaxing that ‘stacchi’ from our
daily life, from the school and from the job. But do you him
with serious people, with a qualified Diving, equipped and
composed by scrupulous instructors. There I have found. My
name is Jacopo, I am a boy that comes from Milan in Calabria
every Summer, and quest’anno I will enroll per second me Course
to achieve the brevet and to become so ‘Advanced Open Water
Diver’. L’hos promised to my parents and Mario and Alfina
already wait me of. Jacopo Airaghi (MI)
