«I have the feeling that I did everything wrong. I felt it a few days ago, at the funeral of my aunt Silvana, who was a second mother for me. No one came. Mine, who lived in the south, in the city of Caserta, were forced to go to northern Italy, and because of me. They were uprooted, “the Italian writer said in an interview with Corriere della Sera
«Those who accuse me of having Naples, should be concerned: After I have spoiled her, why do they want to come to visit her from all over Italy? I lit a headlight, I illuminated Naples. And with light, change is possible. Life exploded. But that imposes a high price on me, “added the intellectual who is considered a symbol of the fight against the Naples Mafia.
In an interview with Corriere della Sera he also underlined that “feels the weight of loneliness“And he adds:” In the past, with the attacks on an author, power was in danger of gathering a huge attention.

The Italian writer, a symbol of the struggle against organized crime reveals that “what he lacks the most is freedom of movement”, Something that “affects all of his friendly and erotic relationships” Since “all of his meetings must be held inside the house and, when he comes out, he is accompanied by five or even seven carabiniers, given to him as a bodyguard.”
“On Easter, friends and relatives stayed with me until 7pm and then went out and stayed out on the streets of Naples, until 4 in the morning, and they did very well. I stayed home alone, as a symbol of my existence“, As Roberto Saviano explained.
As for his future, the Italian journalist and writer concludes: “I think of a different self: I can travel, full of hair, with a different name. I got a motorcycle driver’s license, but I can’t drive it. I only did it in Switzerland last summer, and it was something fantastic. Now I will get a diploma to drive trucks. I dream of living like Italian writer Erri de Lucas who had gone to Yugoslavia, in the war, driving a truck full of food. “
