Polis without a roof or city on a human scale?

(by Francescomaria Tuccillo) In Milan and Brianza, in Florence, in Avellino and in Aversa: at least eight homeless people have died of cold in recent days, in some Italian Polis.
It is unacceptable, it seems to us, the only idea that a human being can die of cold because he does not have a place to shelter himself. It is contrary to all human and humanistic values ​​that we have within and incompatible with civil life.
As well as security, human and social generosity is also a testing ground for the #Polis: ensuring everyone an answer to their vital needs - including sleeping under a roof - should be at the center of their mission.
It would be if they were - or come back to be - as we have already defined borrowing a beautiful expression of Giorgio La Pira: city on a human scale, then a political expression of proximity and humanity. This is the model we think of when we talk about #EuropadeiPopoliedellePolis.
To be sure, a European Polis that seems to reflect this vision by dealing without hesitating the homeless, guided with a steady hand by a courageous leader, is there. It's not big, but it counts. It is the Vatican City.
