At the usual enthusiasm for the Mediterranean Sea of legends, with its postcard blue and white, it is quite lucid to associate the red of the fire and the blood, as well as the black of the violence and the death, e.g. the tragedy. The Mediterranean dream, if it has a sense today, cannot be naive, but invested of an updated consciousness, fed by the history and the events of the present (such as the tragedy of the migrants), thus as disillusioned than creative by obligation.
