Questa notte, un garofano ha cambiato il mondo.
Non con le armi, non con la rabbia.
Con la dolcezza invincibile di chi osa credere nella libertà.
Assoli Notturni è online.
Buonanotte o buongiorno a chi vorrà 🌌 🦔

"Celeste Caeiro, who has died aged 91, was a 40-year-old Portuguese cloakroom attendant and cleaner at a Lisbon self-service restaurant who made headlines around the world when on April 25 1974 she handed out carnations to rebel soldiers on their way to oust the country’s dictatorship after more than 40 years of fascist rule.
The soldiers put the flowers in the muzzles of their guns and cannons and pinned them on their uniforms; the coup became known as 'the Carnation Revolution' and Celeste Caeiro as 'Celeste dos cravos" – Celeste of the Carnations.
A poor single mother, Celeste had arrived at work on Rua Braamcamp that morning only to be told to go home because 'something’s going on', and to take some bunches of carnations with her. The proprietor had bought them the previous day to give to customers at the restaurant’s first-anniversary lunch and dinner, which he had cancelled due to the 'goings-on outside, and he did not want the flowers to go to waste."
La mort de «Celeste aux œillets», symbole de la révolution portugaise.
#CelesteCaeiro était instantanément devenue une icône au Portugal en offrant, faute de mieux, des fleurs aux jeunes militaires engagés dans le coup de force contre la dictature. Elle est morte le 15 novembre, à Lisbonne, à l’âge de 91 ans.
