Among the groups of young people travelling to Cologne there are also Italians who live abroad, who are telling their stories on line on the web site promoted by the Migrantes Foundation of the Italian’s Bishop Conference in collaboration with the Italian Catholic Missions in Germany. Among the stories there is that of the "torchlight group", young people who are carrying a burning torch as they travel towards Cologne passing through the Italian Missions in Switzerland and Germany, the encounter with 10 Spanish youth who are walking to Cologne, their stop at Chiavenna (Italy) to pray on the tomb of Sister Luisa Mainetti, the religious who was killed a few years ago by young girls affiliated with satanic sects. The national office for the pastoral of Italians abroad has set up a special section on their web site www.migrantes.it devoted to the WYD (called "Migrants on the Move") with information, interviews and stories. "This is a pastoral service, says Fr. Domenico Locatelli, director of the Office for the Pastoral of Italians Abroad of the Migrantes Foundation which is useful to keep people informed about this great event". The website provides information, and real time updates, on all the events with articles in which they report the impressions, comments, anxieties and expectations of the protagonists. There are also many interviews with young people of Italian origin who are preparing to go to Cologne: for Adraino da Levedove, a Brazilian of Italian origin, Cologne will be an opportunity for seeing that "there is a reality which is parallel to that of the materialist world in which we live".
