(Adnkronos) - "Faccio fatica a parlare… Da soli non ce la possiamo fare, dateci una mano". E' il messaggio che Gene Gnocchi, trattenendo a stento la commozione, invia da Faenza, nel cuore dell'alluvione che ha devastato la Romagna. "Siamo stati sfollati, devo dire grazie a mia moglie: io ero a Roma, mia moglie ha avuto la freddezza di portare via le bambine quando il quartiere vicino si stava allagando. L'acqua si è fermata, abbiamo avuto danni risibili rispetto agli altri ma abbiamo avuto una paura pazzesca", dice in collegamento con Citofonare Raidue.

00:00 I'm used to coming there and having fun, but this time I don't feel it, because what happened is incredible.
00:14 I have friends who have lost everything, Simone. They lost their homes, their jobs, all the most precious things they had.
00:29 I'm not even able to talk about it, because they are friends who have left everything.
00:36 When we say that this land is not used to asking for help, it's true, Simone, it's true,
00:45 but never in this moment can this land do it alone.
00:50 It needs everyone, it really needs everyone. So what I can say about the commotion, because I'm struggling to talk,
01:01 what I can say is that through all possible channels, give us a hand, because it's a land that can't do it alone.
01:11 We love you, Gene. We are here for you. You have seen that there is all of Italy.
01:21 Help is coming from all over. Gene, you were also displaced, right?
01:26 Yes, we were displaced, and I have to thank my wife, who was in a hurry to get the children back.
01:36 Tell us what happened. You were at home, what happened?
01:39 I was in Rome because I had the transmission, but my wife received a signal that the neighborhood nearby was flooding,
01:51 and she took the children and obviously brought them to safety from the floods, because fortunately the water stopped,
01:59 so we had damage, compared to the others, unbelievable.
02:03 But think how scary it is.
02:05 It's a crazy fear, because you are in a situation where you have to save the children, so it's something I can't talk about.
