Giuseppe Marasco, writer and journalist of shipping has passed away
She was an appreciated and authoritative professional with detached human dowries
April 10, 2013
"When you decide yourself to give me of". I carried the short pants ago when I met Giuseppe Marasco for the first time, almost fifty years, in the editing de "the Marine Announcer" while it discussed with my father of the events of the port of Genoa. In those years the age difference imposed that you used the polite form to it. From then, but, there are intentional more or less forty years before you decided to pass me although our relationship it had become of informality, confidentiality and friendship and in spite of we belonged by now to the same professional category that almost imposes it between colleagues.
Its question and its demand for explanations are intentional to persuade to change the way to me to turn Giuseppe to me. "Because I carry you respect", I have answered to it. Not that I intend disrespectful being regarding those people to which I use the familiar form, but turning to Marasco mine to me "it" at all formal and was not detached, how much instead sign of esteem and consideration for its professional abilities and its human qualities. "But that respect and respect", you have become silent to me imposing me from then.
Giuseppe Marasco not only as journalist, expert of marine things, but also as writer and historian, worked with passion and absolute competence avoiding to write and to say things that they would have attracted easy consents, even guaranteed favors, but that they would have made it to lose authority and credibility, and also the appreciation by who - as me - he considers an example.
In me and many others the dead women of Giuseppe Marasco and its funeral, than will hold tomorrow to the 10 in the Saint parish Nicholas to Genoa, do not leave an empty one. An example is not extinguished as a candle. I thank for me for having made to see as weevers and as it is worked, Mr. Marasco.
