Budelli: Morandi at CNN, 'ready for anything to stay here'

(ANSA) - ROME, JULY 28 - "I am ready to do everything possible to stay here, even if it means that I will have to drag myself away. I would not know where else to go to live, nor what to do. This is my life. I simply don't see myself playing acarte oa bocce ": is the desperate appeal of the 81-year-old MauroMorandi, for over thirty years the solitary guardian of the island of Budelli and today under 'eviction' because he is considered tenant without any title of a State asset.
    CNN has interviewed the Travel section of the American broadcaster and today dedicates a long article on its online edition to him. "All I ask is, if I have to be sent away during the renovations, that I can go back and continue doing what I do every day: watching the endangered pink coral beach, keeping iturists at bay, protecting nature. I'm afraid that if I am not there, it will also be the end of Budelli ", Morandi urges. Meanwhile, a new petition launched online in its favor has reached 2,992 signatures.
    "Our priority is to intervene against all the illegal constructions inside the park, including Mauro's hut, a former World War II radio station that has undergone changes that do not comply with the rules - the president of the La archipelago park comments to CNN Maddalena, FabrizioFonnesu - we must set an example, protect our environment by first restoring this illegal structure, and then continuing with a new project that will probably be a scientific center for the spread of environmental awareness ".
    Fonnesu is a possibility for the future of Robinson Crusoeitaliano, as Cnn defines it, but categorical on its present: "Nobody wants to chase him away, but what title does he have to keep since the island is no longer private?", He says: "If it is future, it will be the need to have a caretaker, we could consider his position, but when the work begins he will have to leave.
