sister projects D’ITALIA:
UN SECOLO E MEZZO DI FERROVIA PORRETTANA
“I treni hanno fatto l’unità d’Italia più delle scaramucce di tre piccole guerre d’indipendenza, più di un portone sfondato a Porta Pia. I treni ci hanno fatto conoscere italiani divisi dalla meravigliosa specie di dialetti. Prima di scendere alle stazioni, salutarsi, ci si scambiava l’indirizzo e almeno una cartolina di saluto arrivava a ricordo dell’incontro. L’Italia è stata unita dagli scompartimenti della seconda classe e la parola d’ordine e agreement, after the greetings and presentations for all it was a "favorite". (from a short essay Erri de Luca)
aware of the many truths contained in this brief written Erri De Luca, the undersigned associations on this project, they decided to promote the upcoming celebrations for the sesquicentennial of the Unification of Italy linking them to the almost simultaneous opening of the railway Porrettana that, in fact, joined by Italy, North and Central America.
The rationale for our decision lies in the knowledge that without our line Porrettana " it is difficult to imagine our "Valley of the Rhine," so great was the contribution that the "railway" has given to the development of mountain Bologna and Pistoia in its half century of existence.
The proposal, design, and construction of the Porrettana that, in fact, connected Bologna and Florence, crossing the formidable barrier of the Apennines, were for years to mid-nineteenth century, a challenge to modernity , allowing you to experience the talents and skills of an extraordinary group of entrepreneurs, politicians and engineers who shared the company. The same technical solutions to the many unknown problems the implementation of the work were really amazing for bold solutions tested and then re-proposed the creation of other similar works.
With our project, therefore, wish to discuss the unification of Italy and, above all, unity of the Italians, paying tribute to a work that has made a fundamental contribution in shortening their physical distances and not only that. We would like to revisit the climate that enabled the realization of this work and investigate what happened in people's heads when more than one hundred fifty years ago, these were placed in front of the railway revolution.
To implement our plan, we will create the following events:
1) LABORATORY THEATRE: The workshop will run for 6 / 7 months and will address three main events:
a. The historical re-enactment of Porretta 'opening of the railway Porrettana. For this event, we will try to organize the historic trains with steam locomotives.
b. The raids on the trains for short theatrical performances and poetry readings.
c. Creation of a play on "literature and rail." This activity will be able to participate freely in all the groups involved in theater, conducting joint research or developing their own.
2) LITERARY PRIZE COMPETITION ON "DEAR TRAIN.
first edition of the interregional (Emilia Romagna and Tuscany) to participate freely in a theme, materials relating to stories and poems. The terms of participation ranging from 15 February to 15 May 2011 and the award is established on June 24, 2011 in Sasso Marconi. The award ceremony will take place in the context of a theatrical evening specially organized.
3) PHOTO EXHIBITION.
4) CONVERSATIONS THEME.
During the month of May there will be a series of lectures on the history of rail Porrettana addressing in terms of historical and current socio-economic role of the railway for the life of the community and the mountains of Pistoia Bologna.
5) films.
During the month of May there will be a cycle of films that the presence of the railway as a theme in our society.
6) a short film.
entrust to young authors making of a film on "Railway Porrettana" that traces its history, its design and construction until you get to this day.
7) FESTIVALS AND EVENTS AND MUSICAL SPECTACULAR.
events held in the stations and surrounding areas of the municipalities affected by the railway.
Our project will be linked to the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of Italy providing for the realization of the above events in 2011, and in particular, in May / June.
In conclusion, it is our intention to ensure that the commencement and completion of this project seem like a real act of love for a railway line, at the time, was considered an admirable statement of the technical capabilities of the men to bend nature and difficulties of various kinds to their drawings, drawings for more - we're sure - seemed as real visionary dreams.
