Giarratana votes in the referendum at 101 years old
The record of Salvatore Acquasana, who expressed his preference independently.
101-year-old Salvatore Acquasana voted this morning in the referendum.
In Giarratana, in the composed silence of the polling station, this morning Salvatore Acquasana, 101 years old, born in 1925 also showed up.
He voted in perfect autonomy. A century of life behind him and the same determination as always: to participate in the referendum consultations with the respect and naturalness of someone who considers voting a duty before it is a right.
His presence, discreet and bright, reminded everyone of the deep value of simple gestures, those that hold a community together.
The photo taken while he casts his ballot is not just a memory: it is an invitation to never take democracy for granted, to guard it every time we are called to express ourselves. An example that transcends generations and that today, more than ever, deserves to be told.
