GIUSEPPE <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man with a suitcase of wheat is feeding the pigeons, which immediately rush in mass. I stop, he smiles at me, then tell me his story. Giuseppe is 68 at that time. It is of Calabrian origin. He has lived in France since 1970, worked in a bank and is now retired. He lived in the beautiful Marais district, the oldest district in Paris. Pay taxes like everyone else, he had children. From the moment he retired eight years before our meeting, he has been feeding pigeons. For his new “attitude” Giuseppe received a 13,000 euro fine, which he pays and will pay until 2025, they took his house away and now he lives on the street. Giuseppe suffered several verbal and physical attacks with serious consequences for his health. Every morning Giuseppe is awake first of all and continues to meet his little ones who are waiting for him in different points of the city, and continues until sunset. Giuseppe gives them over 70 kg of wheat every day, which he pays with his pension. He is among them as if it were nothing, the pigeons fluttered on him too but he continues his ritual while the curious and a little fascinated people take pictures and observe him. Sometimes for sparrows there are brioches, which are more nutritious than the normal box. At the end of the day, deliver the sick pigeons to an association that takes care of them. Then he goes back to his truck, puts away the bags he has dragged for almost twenty hours and goes to sleep. Giuseppe asks for justice: he asks to get back the apartment that was unjustly removed, he asks that whoever threw in the street will be tried for abuse of power, he asks that his story not be forgotten and that the pigeons, like him, used to live in peace. And if you ask him why he loves more, he replies: \u201cThe thing they prefer most is not to eat. It is freedom \u201d.
About Giuseppe I find some other articles on the web, the last one dates back to 2015. I hope he does well with his Pigeons Parisiens.

Un uomo con una valigia di grano sta dando da mangiare ai piccioni, che subito accorrono in massa. Mi fermo, mi sorride, poi mi racconta la sua storia.
Giuseppe in quel momento ha 68 anni. \u00c8 di origine calabrese. Vive in Francia dal 1970, lavorava in banca e ora \u00e9 in pensione. Viveva nel bel quartiere di Marais, il quartiere pi\u00f9 vecchio di Parigi. Pagate le tasse come tutti, ha avuto dei figli. Dal momento in cui \u00e8 andato in pensione, otto anni prima del nostro incontro, ha messo a dare da mangiare ai piccioni.
Per questa sua nuova \u201cattitudine\u201d Giuseppe ha ricevuto 13.000 euro di multa, che paga e pagher\u00e0 fino al 2025, gli hanno portato via la casa e ora vive per strada.
Giuseppe ha subito diverse aggressioni verbali e fisiche con gravi conseguenze per la sua salute.
Ogni mattina Giuseppe \u00e8 sveglia prima di tutto e continua ad andare incontro ai suoi piccoli che lo aspettano in diversi punti della citt\u00e0, e continua fino al tramonto.
Giuseppe dona loro ogni giorno oltre 70 kg di grano che paga con la sua pensione.
Sta in mezzo a loro come se fosse nulla, i piccioni gli svolazzavano anche addosso ma lui continua il suo rituale mentre la gente curiosa e un po ‘affascinata fa foto e lo osserva.
A volte per i passeri ci sono le brioches, che sono pi\u00f9 nutrienti rispetto al riquadro normale.
A fine giornata consegna i piccioni malati a un’associazione che si occupa di curarli. Poi torna alla sua camionetta, ripone le borse che ha trascinato per quasi venti ore e va a dormire.
Giuseppe chiede giustizia: chiede di riavere l’appartamento che ingiustamente \u00e8 stato tolto, chiede che chi ha buttato in strada verr\u00e0 processato per abuso di potere, chiede che la sua storia non venga dimenticata e che i piccioni, come lui, usati vivere in pace. Se poi gli chiedi perch\u00e9 ama di pi\u00f9 ti risponde: \u201cLa cosa che preferiscono di pi\u00f9 non \u00e8 mangiare. \u00c8 la libert\u00e0 \u201d.
Su Giuseppe su trova qualche altro articolo sul web, l’ultimo risale al 2015. Spero stia bene con i suoi Pigeons Parisiens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
