Corrado is a senior official at the Italian Ministry of the Home Affairs, specializing in international missions against illegal immigration. The Italian government chooses him to address one of the thorns in the side of Europe’s borders: illegal migration from Libya to Italy. Corrado’s mission is highly complex; post-Gaddafi Libya is rife with deep internal tensions, and reconciling Libyan reality with Italian and European interests seems impossible. Corrado is the epitome of a man of the present who seems to have come to terms with injustice. In a Europe whose identity is constantly challenged by tensions in the Mediterranean, the story of The Order of Things is a perfect representation of hypocrisy: “We know well how much we are abdicating our principles by denying rights and freedoms to human beings outside our space, but we try not to say it to ourselves, we even try to be proud of it.” (Andrea Segre)
