And the same signal appears at times on the boat the same way as a standard or as an indication of a route from groped: it is discovered among the survivors of the Cross in Lampedusa and two other works that are not indicated by a title. However, the cross, even when not manifested, however, dwells in the hearts of all those who face such an ordeal: è nel di vortice the Windward Passage 2012 and is in the round boats that evoke a world of disasters in los Caminos de la Memoria of 2013.
