Giusi Nicolini is the mayor of the small island of Lampedusa.
Anywhere else in the world her role would be completely different, but Lampedusa is not just an amazing touristic italian destination, Lampedusa, for thousand of migrants means Europe. Is the first step in the promise land, just few miles from the african coastline.
The words of Giusi Nicolini about migration are pervaded of humanity and discouragement at the same time, since italian and european institutions left her alone to face the problem of human migration.
I spent a week with her, to document how difficult the life of the Mayor of Europe could become.
