From a small Albanian town to the offices of Brussels, passing through the classrooms of a provincial Italian school: Controvento is the story of a journey that is both an escape and a rebirth. With a clear and intense voice, the author retraces his past to tell the stories of those who grow up between two worlds, those who seek a place to call “home” and the courage to remain true to themselves even when the wind pushes them elsewhere. A book that combines memory and hope and transforms personal experience into a universal message about identity, freedom and Europe, which, day after day, we can still choose to build – a fairer, more humane Europe that is more ours. Preface by Brando Benifei.
