The work "Follow me if U Can", shows a summer animator who, despite his physical limitations, is able to entertain, motivate and entertain, a group of ladies intent on following her, on the notes of a summer dance. His doing is his art, but also the example to follow, to always be oneself, in a world that wants to be approved, making the differences that harmonize us with nature and our being disappear. For this reason, the kite flies without wires, free in the sky, finally clear, showing a show that is above all a harmony of life.
This picture is inspired by a sad story that happened in the mid-90s in a neighborhood in the southern suburbs of Rome. The story concerns the mysterious disappearance of a young boy (Luca Amorese) known as "Il Pelè del Quadraro" for his great ability in the game of football. One day in November 1994, Luca tells his father that he will go out for a ride on his moped, but he will never come home again. Not seeing him return home, his parents decide to file a police report. After a series of investigations, his moped is found inside the home of an old junk dealer (Elvino Gargiulo), already known for his criminal record and his time in prison. That was the spring that blew the plug of Pandora's box which enclosed a series of unimaginable horrors, for which no one was and will never be prepared. In fact, they discovered terrible violence by the junk dealer towards his own children; the daughter was raped and made pregnant and the son was also raped in the same way. Forced to eat mice, to be rented out on time, they lived on the fringes of society, and soon became rotten branches capable of extending this madness on command based on their father's perverted wishes. The daughter was removed, but the son Mario remained and as expected, took part in a key role in the story. During the investigation it was discovered that Elvino and his son Mario had hosted a woman and her nephew for a certain time. The woman was suffocated by Mario who confessed to the crime, while the little girl was killed with an iron bar from the junk shop. Both, with the coldness of real human butchers, armed with a saw and axes, cut the bodies of the two unfortunate women to pieces. A part of the remains was certainly thrown in the garbage and a part was burned in a small well in the garden (in fact, some bones of a woman aged between 47 and 57 were found). At this point one might wonder... but Luca? Luca or his remains were never found again and his disappearance, his absence are and will always remain a real cry of pain towards the institutions that shelved the story in a short time making it disappear from collective memory. Elvino was arrested and died in prison (probably killed by the inmates, as he used to brag about certain criminal acts) and Mario having served his sentence, was entrusted to social services. Can you disappear? You can disappear into thin air; become like the air? Yes. When you're nobody, when you don't have a family behind you and you're transparent like blue glass that hides nothing from anyone. So fragile, so delicate. Your young and harmonious thoughts are shipwrecked in your soft hair, while your naive gaze is lost towards the horizon, which for you has never been full of white clouds shaded with sweet colors, but of dying trees and rotten walls forever they will cry out the ferocity of life never fully lived.
