(ANSA) - ROME, JUNE 05 - "I hate to say it, but I do not think that the agent is emotionally touched by the war in Ukraine, but simply because it concerns his pockets. Ukraine is a great resource of food for the world, natural resources, digas. Why are they not moved by the thousand other terrible wars that exist in Africa and throughout the world? Because thosedon't touch their pockets. There is not a single war that does not deserve attention and solidarity, help and respect." To speak is the Israeli singer Noa, in Italy to present the second edition of L'Arca di Noa, the festival she conceived to be held in Arona on Lake Maggiore from 22 to 25 June. Four days of music to promote art and culture, but above all equality, solidarity and uniqueness of all living beings. "The opportunity to listen to exceptional musicians who have never performed in Italy".
"Music is a bridge, an outstretched hand, a glue that unites", Noa tells ANSA, in the lobby of her Roman hotel, always an activist for peace (in Israel in the first place) and for social and environmental rights, back from the party for the Napoli championship. "It was crazy. Naples for me is a 'state of mind'. A state of mind, an idea. It represents many things: first of all migrants. My neighbors in America were non-Apoletans. And then Naples is flexibility, openness to the outside. There are so many problems, but people don't allow them to kill their happiness and smiles.
Society is not a slave to money as in America. The team's victory is an encouragement for everyone." Talking about immigration in Italy today is not easy. "All over the world there are problems with migrants - says Noa - Leaders should show more human compassion and solidarity.
Finding a balance: it's a challenge, but it's not a question to be solved with everything black and white." (ANSA).
