All this material documents: the two guys’ adventure across the Ocean, an adventure that affects for its irrational and metaphoric nature.Plunged into a culture (the western one) where everything has to be scheduled, controlled finalized and aimed to something; the concept itself of drifting in a space still “free” as the Ocean, by means that are not scheduled for this purpose such, as cars, sounds unintelligible and makes you think about it.
What did these guys want to prove? ( in case they wanted to prove something)Why use cars for navigation? Maybe they were the only means available on the horizon_ or they were the most emblematic objects representing either well-being or uneasiness in our socety ?Why the Ocean?How does such a singular idea come to life ? Maybe it derives from their eccentric father’s philosophy with a good taste for paradox? ( A man who was endowed all his life long with the guts to pass on to his sons long held dream, beyond the limits of his own existence).Their story is anyway the story of a journey, as a metaphor of existence, a journey that everybody does for or inside themselves , a journey to go beyond.It’s a story of man as, old as the world we’re living in and the need we sometimes have to know our limits and the limits of our planet.A challenge to the immense and scary power of the Ocean where we float, but also a pert challenge to demonstrate that an adventure can be lived out of rules and with a further very human element, but sometimes lost which is the tenderness felt for our toys and our dreams.

AND MARCOLINO CELEBRATE THEIR ONE IN A MILLION FEAT WITH A LITTLE MUSIC.MARCO’S DAD GIORGIO: THEY FOLLOWED HIS DREAM.
ON A ROPE AND A PRAYER: The intrepid sailors, their tiny “sea-cars” tied together, are dwarfed by the vast ocean as they near the end of their amazing odyssey.
TWO DAREDEVIL sailors found a new way to travel from Europe to America — they drove their cars across the Atlantic ocean!Marco Amoretti, 24, and his 21-year-old buddy Marcolino De Candia used a wrecked Volkswagen Passat and a Ford Taunus filled with buoyant polyurethane to complete a journey of 3,100 miles.The 119-day trip was inspired by Marco’s cancer-stricken father Giorgio, who devised the “sea-auto” years ago and always dreamed of making an ocean crossing.On May 4, Marco, two younger brothers and Marcolino sailed away from the Canary Islands, one car tied to the other.”The driver and passenger compartment was arranged as a shelter,” said Marco, from Sarzana, Italy. “On top of the car we had a rubber boat with a hole in the middle that allowed us to climb in and out of the car.”On the rubber boat we fixed a tent, sails, and solar batteries for the mobile telephone set and the desalinator for making drinking water from seawater. More equipment was on rubber boats we towed.After a month of rough seas, Marco’s two younger brothers were feeling seasick and developed severe stomach problems. Marco used his telephone to call for a helicopter and the two boys flew home.“We had very bad days,” said Marco. “Once I barely escaped being lunch for a huge shark while I was swimming between cars.”Our phone broke down. We were at risk of being hit by big oil tankers, which actually did graze us several times.”And on August 25 we were hit by Tropical Storm Emily, which tossed us wildly for an hour that seemed like an eternity.”Then we began, seeing birds and on August 30 I saw , the coast of Martinique We had made it!”As soon as I set foot on land, I called home. My mother answered. ‘I can’t let you talk with Daddy’ she said. ‘He passed away a week ago.’ “Now I’m proud because I showed the world that my father’s dream was not an impossible dream.”The managing editor of the Italian edition of the Guinness Book of Records, Sabina Moscatelli, said: “Well certainly include Marco and Marcolino’s extraordinary voyage in our book as an unprecedented enterprise.”
