There is a Sicilian country that “defies the math” with 104% vaccinated against Covid. Today the Guardian celebrates the exploit of Palazzo Adriano, a town of 2,100 inhabitants in the metropolitan area of Palermo, underlining that many have already taken or booked the third dose. “It seems an impossible statistic, but people who are not officially residents or from neighboring villages have also been vaccinated here,” says the mayor, Nicolò Granà with pride. The secret of the success of this community, where the film “cinema Paradiso” was shot, lies in the fact that everyone knows each other here and many are related. The mayor and his councilors encouraged fellow citizens by talking to the people they met in the square, where everyone passes sooner or later. And a WhatsApp group has been created to answer any doubts. Palazzo Adriano is a record-breaking village. But there are others in Italy: in Lombardy, Brinzio boasts 97% of vaccinated people out of 789 inhabitants, and Premana, 2 thousand inhabitants, has reached 100%.
