Webradio, local community and free software
This story starts far away...
Amo la radio perchè arriva dalla gente entra nelle case e ci parla direttamente
e se una radio è libera ma libera veramente mi piace ancor di più perché libera la mente
I love the radio because it talks to the people, arrives into the homes and speaks them directly
and if a radio is free, but really free, I like even more because it frees the mind
Eugenio Finardi, 1976
