“Ahmed!
Ahmed! Ahmed!“
– a breathless voice can be heard at the opposite side of the
square and, like a domino effect, awakens everyone who rests in the
area. They get up and nervously try to find out who is the lucky one,
reverently repeating the name. The one who called out holds a cell
phone in his hand, Ahmed (a made-up name) jumps up from a bench and
runs towards the person to receive a gift that is very precious in
the Italian city of
Catania: a telephone
call from a different European country.
