Turn out the lights ... a moment, imagine ....
One morning almost ethereal evanescent, a square, a poignant sense of cold air and impertinent: Piazza Castello.
Then, slowly, like so many ants colored, this square a bit 'grigiolina asleep and begins to look like a living rainbow. The strange presences are beginning to crowd laughing, with preposterous shapes, with gold and yellow flags with headgear of all shapes and sizes ....
you there? Ok, then continue to keep my eyes closed ....
After the signal, they all move in and start cheering group to cross the most beautiful streets of downtown Milan, running, playing, whistling, screaming, in short, doing a lot of noise. Irreverent touch and approach to the unfortunate and Milanese with sleepy faces in the form of a question mark turn and ask, "But I had not had coffee? I'm still in bed and I'm dreaming or is this real? ".
The strange characters come out of a fairytale world juxtapose and kindly leave a less reluctant to flower and eventually for the same doubt of not being awake is transformed into the certainty of being part of something inexplicable.
emerging from all corners, crevices, suddenly seem to multiply, jump, laugh out loud, threatening burlesque surrounding air travelers, scare them with a smile and then ... flee away again.
Again travel Piazza Duomo, the Galleria, Piazza della Scala, Via Montenapoleone, take to the subway, and so on more merry and impudent.
Children who are on the path to gasp and instantly convince you that their favorite characters from movies and cartoons ... ARE THERE REALLY! "Mom, Dad .... guardaaaaaaa !!!!!": The Barbapapa, cruel Demon, Harrison Ford, Pippi Longstocking, The Wizard, The Tiger, Mary Poppins, Pierrot, The Mouse, The Snail, The monk, the jockey and many others.
All parade and tireless dancing wildly playful a beautiful ballad that leaves literally stunned all who are crossing the street and in their footsteps.
But the dance does not stop, the sun is shining in the sky and the city seems enchanted, as if suddenly the time has stopped and the memory of the sad stories of illness and the season is a distant oblivion, everything is no longer as before.
Even the asphalt has changed color, it seems to unroll in front of everyone as opening a passage through the crowd to back off and lights up with smiles.
In stores enjoyed a series of noses are rubbed on the glass of the windows trying to peek at a segment, leaving the dryer on, credit cards at the POS, cafes run by machines and sliding doors open without feeling the cold to enter. Gallery
In a strange character (say you call George Clooney, or looks like ... boh) unrolls a long scroll and in a moment, as if by magic, hundreds of signatures appear on it: the characters are stopped and narrow all around, and left an indelible mark of their membership agreement which will take them farther and farther away, even in the most incredible journeys ... a deal before the world and the world. For a few minutes, the time goes into apnea.
The river starts to color and leaves behind a trail of happiness and lightness.
continues toward its goal, is not subsiding, it turns the last step and persistently comes on arrival. Now you can
open your eyes ... it's all true, you have not imagined it all, the monthly trip to a large growing group of runners down from Mars to brighten the days of no particular good, and sometimes mistreated Milan has done it again. This month, with beautiful costumes and disguises, but each time with one spirit: to bring a message of solidarity and brotherhood that get real results, events beyond words and gestures.
E 'this fantastic journey of closeness, communication, export of old and new ideas which is the secret of the Martians: all for one and one for all, united in doing good, in a world where the good you do not know what to is or is doomed in another way.
Un obiettivo raggiunto ancora: più di 2000 euro per CIAI Onlus per ristrutturare 3 aule in una scuola elementare del quartiere Stadera di Milano.
Una scuola che non ha fondi sufficienti, mentre si dice che sarebbe meglio non averle proprio certe scuole e mentre nel loro piccolo tante persone lavorano perché questo non accada.
Una scuola avrà dai Marziani una possibilità di fare meglio e di più, e noi Marziani ci sentiamo di avere sempre e per sempre una possibilità in più per cambiare il mondo.
Grazie a tutti i Marziani e le Marziane che popolano il nostro amato mondo.
