After sixteen times, as then every year, you think to yourself: now I got used to it. In fact, every time it is like the first one, the emotion takes your throat and stomach before leaving and your heart beats fast, while you admire, for the truth somewhat absently, the artistic beauty of Piazza della Signoria. Then...
To play basketball, football, volleyball, water polo, rugby, tennis you need a ball, to run the Passatore it takes at least two. (L. C.) What will become of ours life? And then they made us drink tonight ... what's it called ... the "tachipirinha"! All is started in August 2002, rather not everything started much earlier at least 12 years before but...
In the sip century I started with the Passatore, precisely in 1980 for the first time I participated and 23 times I arrived. I lost one for personal reasons. I keep on aging ......... like wine ...... but I keep on Passer to participate. Upon arrival in Faenza meeting the Great Francis, being a close friend, which unfortunately in cel...
This poem was dedicated by a friend to Angela Valli di Faenza at the end of his 15th "hundred". ONE HUNDRED THESE ONE HUNDRED Do you remember the first time? Did you say ... never again?

I have walked your way a thousand times in my dreams. All my companions told me that it was better not to face you, that it was early, that many of you stop after you, that I would no longer have the strength to run again! But from the little worm that you were ten months ago...
adapted from "Il Municipio" 2007 Saturday 26 May, at 8 in the morning, a group of baricellesi and did not leave from San Gabriele with the cry of "never give up" (well imprinted on their shirts) in the direction of Florence.
