by Fabio Lucchini et Davide Morandini.
On 25th January thousands of Egyptians gathered in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, sparking what we call now the Egyptian Revolution. Only a few hundred meters far from the world-famous square, the people from the working class neighborhood Bulaq joined protesters, finding in demonstrations something more than a glimmer of hope.

VIVA CYCLADES!
by Davide Morandini

Thomas, a young sailor from Madagascar, embarks the Osiris II to help defend this fragile environment… only to discover a much more complex world than the one he had imagined.
THE FORGOTTEN ROUND-UP
by Fabio Lucchini
Antoine, Rose-Marie, Jean-Baptiste and Suzanne were only children when, on the night of January 24, 1943, policemen came knocking on their doors in the Saint-Jean, Marseilles’ old neighbourhood. They were evacuated along with 20,000 inhabitants of this working class neighbourhood. 12,000 were taken to a camp, 800 were deported. The neighbourhood was completely destroyed by the Nazis. 80 years later, Pascal Luongo, a lawyer and grandson of one of the survivors, breaks the silence on these almost unknown facts, which tragically signed the story of the beating heart of Marseille.
