ABSTRACT
Two Palermo newspapers published interviews with me. Immediately, the head of the carabinieri at Palermo telephoned the ‘brigadier’ at Godrano to ask why he had not detected the presence of a ‘foreigner’. The carabinieri then showed great vigilance in tracking our every movement. And when they became aware that we were planning to do a show in the main square, they decided to ban it. There were lots of comings and goings, one step forward, two steps backward, many discussions. Finally they decided to allow the show if an authorisation came from Palermo-which would entail at least three days’ worth of bureaucratic transactions. And there was a further difficulty; the show we were doing had no script on which we could be judged.
