Is called Giovannino the cat protagonist of today's story and is a feline that in recent days is having a notable success on the web.

Because his story is a story that can move. A story that demonstrates that felines are also animals that are definitely linked to their home and family, despite what is often wrongly said.

Giovannino's story comes from Accumulate. An Abruzzese volunteer who takes care of the earthquake victims.

How can we forget the earthquake that hit Central Italy on 24 August 2016, devastating above all Amatrice, Pescara Del Tronto and Accumoli.

And 3 years have passed since that tragic day, yet in those places you can still breathe the air of a tragedy that perhaps will never go away.

Because these villages still bear the signs of that earthquake, with the many houses destroyed and the center almost razed to the ground.

And the story of the Giovannino cat is the story of a cat that has suffered the effects of the earthquake.

His house was destroyed that August 24 3 years ago and since then our four-legged friend is almost a stray.

Its owner, an elderly man who fortunately survived the tragedy, now lives in temporary accommodation. A place where he cannot keep his four-legged friend.

Every day, however, the pensioner visits his four-legged friend. And Giovannino really doesn't want to abandon his house.

In fact, since the day of the earthquake, the cat has lived where its home once was. Today there are only debris, a distant memory of what once was.

And Giovannino doesn't want to leave from there. That was his home and he wants to continue to stay there, even if now there are only pieces of plaster and concrete.

Like him, there are many other cats whose lives the earthquake has definitely changed. Fortunately, there are also many volunteers who look after them.
