In the departures area of Bari airport, a large wooden wall accompaines travellers: the artwork was created by hand by recovering the colorful planks of the old “gozzi”, the traditional Apulian fishing boats, destined for demolition.
The caption says:
Artwork by Aeroporti di Puglia as a tribute to the countless landings that region Apulia has welcomed and in memory of the numerous sea tragedies.
“The humanity we will show welcoming desperate refugees, the understanding we will use to address migration, the determination with which we will fight trafficking will be our way to show the world the quality of the democratic life”. (President Sergio Mattarella)
