On May 7 see 50 people, including children, people of Marettimo Levanzo and Favignana, people owning homes or tourists, including foreigners, to roll up our sleeves and clean up a hill like a slut peak Maritime is a difficult thing to think about. But it all really happened, filling the boats of friends marettimari John and Philip of waste brought by winter storms and the carelessness of man. The final applause spontaneously and simply we made each other, giving thanks to nature, with a heart full of an experience emotionally important to do good.

The observatory, located on a cliff overlooking the sea more than a hundred feet high, is the ideal location for the sighting of this mysterious animal and its study. The challenge now is to live in this place other clothes, no longer garrison sighting of the Saracen invasions and Norman, but ideologically place in the middle of the Mediterranean in the ones that were for ancient Phoenicians the first columns of Hercules, today will be a beacon for environmental protection and peace.
