former fruit pickers set up a co-operative near Rome selling vegetables and yoghurt
Now they are working ‘twice as hard’ to get supplies to families under lockdown
His co-workers Lorenzo and Cheikh also get up, lifting boxes packed with produce after their morning’s work. Today the sun is shining here in Italy but there is no time to pause and enjoy it
Salad and spinach picked from other fields must be washed alongside the cabbages and cauliflowers; boxes for delivery have to be readied and loaded into the van

Lorenzo and Cheikh bring freshly picked vegetables from the fieldTen years on
the members of Barikama find themselves on the frontline of Italy’s deadly battle against Covid-19
while the people in their community are in lockdown in their homes
Ismail and his colleagues are out in the field and in the warehouse
packing delivery boxes of vegetables and dairy products to help feed increasing numbers of local households
“The demand is higher than ever because people can’t go out
we’re working twice as hard as we’ve ever done,” says Modibo
a 32-year-old from Mali who arrived in Lampedusa in 2008 and is one of the co-founders of the Barikama co-operative
“Every day all day is just farming and deliveries
Every day we’re getting new orders and we won’t stop working because people need us
to feel useful to people in this awful moment
For Modibo and all the members of the co-operative this job is also a form of redemption from exploitation: “barikama” means “strength” or “resistance”in the Malian language Bambara

RomeThe co-operative has its warehouse in Pigneto
a historic working-class neighbourhood of Rome
At seven in the morning the sky begins to lighten
“Something has changed in our life,” says Modibo
you can’t afford to heal yourself and buy medicines
If a person you love falls ill you can’t do anything
Each morning the young members of the Barikama co-operative meet at the warehouse to load the van and then divide their daily duties among field work
deliveries and taking food to local markets

While normally the market bustles with customers
in the current lockdown only 24 people are allowed in at a time
Today it is Tony’s turn to man the Barikama stall
Tony arrived in Italy four years ago from Nigeria and shortly after began labouring in the tomato fields of Foggia alongside hundreds of other migrants and refugees
“In Foggia they gave €4 for each 350kg box filled

came to Italy from Senegal in 2007Another co-operative member
was a football player in Senegal and studied biology at university
When he arrived in Italy in 2007 he worked in the fields to survive
“I looked around at the situation and always did the maths,” he says
“In Rosarno there were between 200 and 300 people working without contracts for over a month
How did they escape paying taxes on all that money they were making?”
View image in fullscreenAboubakar plants salad in a field on the shores of Lake MartignanoThe idea for the co-operative came from a friend at a social centre that the men attended after the 2010 Rosarno uprisings
She suggested that they come together and start producing their own food
“At the beginning we were making our own yogurt and we managed to make only about €5 or €10 each
which at least allowed us to call home,” says Chiekh
In 2014 they formed a co-operative and found a place to base themselves
They made agreements with the farm owners to start dairy farming
to rent the machinery to start producing yogurt and then to farm the property’s unused fields
Barikama cultivates six hectares of orchards and produces up to 200 litres of yogurt a week

€700 in the last months of the year,” he says with a smile
they feel that they are performing a vital task in keeping their customers healthy in a time of extreme trauma and fear
“It’s a beautiful thing that we are helping feed the community in these terrible times,” says Cheikh as he turns and gets back to work

An earlier version referred to “the Malian dialect Bamara”
That meant to refer to the country’s language of Bambara
The best cycling events are those that start the day before
It means that they are not just races and then goodbyes until the next one
involve and are in tune with the territory and the people
and this year he transformed his Gran Fondo dei Laghi – città di Campagnano di Roma
And the name itself is a calling card that speaks of beautiful places to return to see and stop in calmly
Saturday was not just the technical moment of collecting the race pack
there are the kids' races," advises Claudio Terenzi
"they're fun and we liked the idea of doing something more than just a Granfondo
I liked the idea of doing something for youth cycling
Claudio Terenzi's "little boys" are all there
in the MTB Short Track organized in tight curves in a parking lot
Between parents who cheer and coaches who have already collected the race pack
The attentive eye tries to intuit some new talent
And among many who struggle there is always someone who flies
The main course arrived the next day. Quick appointment in Vallelunga, early in the morning, and then everyone in grid in Campagnano
The river of bicycles that invaded the road counted 868 cyclists at the start
Among them the green helmet and the “guest” number of Alan Marangoni
A professional from Team Cannondale on a “pleasure trip” with his girlfriend
He was there smiling and having fun “they don’t know who I am here anyway” and many cyclists next to him were looking at him with curiosity to see many taking pictures of him and asking him questions
He must have warmed up or a little more when he arrived
who was pedaling calmly in the jersey of Team Continental Unieuro Wilier Trevigiani was Andrea Cacciotti
Another who was pedaling with his mouth closed and calm where others didn’t seem to have enough air available
Nepi and then again towards Vallelunga to be overcome with momentum to reach the finish line in Campagnano
The first to the finish line has a beard and tattoos that make you want to check his bike to make sure it's not a fixed gear
Michele Scotto D'Abusco arrived without even looking too sweaty
He beat his breakaway companion Giovanni Nucera in the sprint with whom he shared almost half the route
Behind all the others in groups that no longer exist to testify that in Lazio
there are roads poisonous enough to hurt your legs
At the finish line they leave behind several colleagues
The others are thinking about the next appointment of the Pedalatium
the circuit of which the Granfondo dei Laghi
city of Campagnano di Roma was the first event and has already distributed the leader jerseys of the dedicated classification
there is a territory to discover and experience
868 cyclists and their families now know it
