“Agriculture, in addition to being a way for everyone to be together, is an act of resistance against the management of this island that for many years has been dependent on Sicily and that for many years has simply lived off tourism. Up until forty or fifty years ago, this island also lived off agriculture, livestock farming, and fishing. Unfortunately, in recent years, it has been encouraged to do something else.”

“For me it represents the green lung of Lampedusa. Unfortunately, people here have made the choice to dedicate themselves above all to tourists. I have only been here for ten years, so I know little about the history of Lampedusa, but obviously people are looking for a job that pays, rather than being in the middle of nature and earning very little.”

“Here they don’t use any kind of pesticide, they respect the land and the plants. I don’t eat gigantic, super pumped-up vegetables, I’m fine with a small lettuce, which I can eat without dressing, but it gives me energy. I believe in a place like this, in a location like this. We are in Lampedusa, the last Italian strip.”
