the "wearing white campaign" and "having white" everywhere
was lanched as a campaign in 2001 by Emergency and it was succesful.
"A peaceful rug" "uno straccio di pace"
>From 2001 Emergency is carrying on using this symbol and asking people to wear it for peace o put a white rag (better than flag) in balconies and wherever you were staying
In 2003 everybody in Italy was walking around with a white peace rug attached to bags, rocksaks, or wherever they wanted while using the rainbow peace flag for demo
