To our grandparents,
travelers
before the invention of immigration.
To the life of the drowned. To whom they loved.
Ai nostri nonni,
viaggiatori
prima che l’immigrazione fosse inventata
Naˇsim precima,
putnicima
pre negoˇsto je izmiˇsljena imigracija
Thenagain,youdon’tdivideupanempirewitha
handshake.
Youhavetocutitwithaknife.
—RobertoSaviano,Gomorrah
