notes that night ...

CHRONICLE OF A CULTURAL EVENT ANNOUNCED, BUT THE UNEXPECTED RESULTS. OR: HOW TO DO WELL WITH LITTLE.

What a night, what a night that night!
If you think I feel the broken bones

(Fred Hammond)

say that Notes to the museum - an event organized by the cultural Diapason & Naima and the Museum of Altino, which took place Saturday, November 20 - it went very well is limited, or at least does not make the idea of \u200b\u200bthe value "moral" behind this success.

Although carry 400 people in a summer evening on the excavation of Altino for a tribute concert Fabrizio De André may have seemed to most a result of "easy" (because it was summer, because in 2009 marks the tenth anniversary of the death of the great "Faber," but there must also be said that the concert began at 22, which was Sunday and the next day the people worked, and that it had rained almost all day ...), so easy we did not feel able to encourage people to participate in large numbers at a concert to be held at the museum closed on a cold evening the end of November.

But so decided, the Ministry of Heritage and Culture: November 20 "Museums in music": special opening of the museums and free from 20 pm to 2 am, and music for everyone. Never mind if in Rome will be a warm autumn evening while at Altino there will be 5 degrees and a mist to finish in Silone. It is in Rome that the greatest concentration of national museums in Italy, so ... the boss.

It is with this concern - but not with these words ... - Beginning in October that calls me Dr. Tirelli, Director of the Museum of Altino, asking for our help.


The idea to invite a reference to the name immediately discard: the ministry has no money to put on, not even the town I'm missing, the association has to think to put on home soon ... So?

We decide to play teachers in music classes : A precious resource, which as an association we are fortunate to be able to count not only as excellent teachers, but also as musicians navigated, with numerous musical projects and concerts behind. Fast

round of phone calls and organizing machine starts up. Valerio launched the idea (given the small size of the place) set of the concert in the form of duets "voice + instrument" , alternating on stage a dozen musicians and singers.

During a meeting with the director of the museum and Frank, his new assistant, I propose (with input from Stephen) not to restrict the event to after dinner, but starting in the late afternoon with a free guided tour to museum followed by a musical aperitif , and then continue the evening with a concert fatter, and then followed by a guided tour a night . The idea like the director, and Francesca offers to act as Cicero (it's appropriate to say ...).

To complete the puzzle missing a piece that would combine the afternoon program in the evening. What better idea to ask Renata and Marisa, which operates the restaurant "the Street" (which is just behind the museum) on one side if he wanted to organize a themed dinner be included in the program of the evening, by ' much to offer and arrange a drink in the museum? No sooner said than done.

Now, to do all that we'll put you and not 4 hours, including two "travel" to Altino. More or less the same I'll put us to make flyers and posters, which were distributed throughout the fourth with the help of a couple of students and Henry. Advertising for which the association has paid about 200 € (just anything) . In parallel, taking advantage of some hole and the other between classes, teachers have organized themselves to try the pieces to be performed, coordinated by Valerio.

On the other side, the museum - among others - has asked the chairs to the municipality, has complied with the practices with the Ministry of SIAE, promoted the event in the press and the network of provincial museums, and Renata and Marisa have been organized for drinks and dinner.

Meanwhile began to arrive for dinner reservations (seats spent five days of the ...), requests for information about the concert and on tour.

short, arriving 17.30 on Saturday and the outside the museum there will be a hundred people (99 to be exact, attest to the torn ticket) ready to start the tour. Francesca does not know whether to be happier with the outcome of the action or more concerned about the management of a too large number of visitors to a museum spaces unfortunately still so tight, so much so that she is forced to be felt by all, to use the microphone ... During the aperitif

Music (open to the sound of jazz from the Manor Frederick and Andrew Flowers and closed with the duet "guitar and voice," composed by Gian Paolo Todaro and Monica Tavarner) begins to animate the exterior (in the meantime has also opened the center of the bar "in the Street") and the museum becomes one with the square of Altino . The evening is pleasant, despite a few drops of rain, and lighting along the horseshoe-shaped porch that closes the square makes the atmosphere even more magical ...

In perfect time with the program, we move to 19.30 in the restaurant, where we will have a delicious dinner based deleted, polenta, radicchio, cream of pumpkin and gorgonzola risotto with red radicchio and homemade strudel. Here too, the atmosphere is very nice and warm (aided by the fireplace ...): seems to be in family ...

The evening concert starts at 21.45 with the museum full : 117 people against 70 seats ... Unfortunately, many are forced to remain standing, but for now it seems to be a problem.

begin Vaiarelli Valerio and Barbara Belloni, with a version for piano and voice (and what a voice ...) of Back to Black Amy Winehouse and an even more original bass and voice True colors Cindy Lauper. Here are three new songs by Valerio (who has meanwhile bracing the guitar, which is like a good multi-instrumentalist) played and sung with Anthony Zaccaria on electric guitar (the first two) and Francesco Clergy on percussion (the last). Thanks to an experimental use of the loop station (a system that allows you to record live and send in "loop" in constant repetition, the instruments and microphones connected) and Luisa Pasinetti introduce Stella Mauro - between the moon and knocked , and a tribute to the dance of the '80s and '90s - the electronic music duo formed by brothers Henry and Nicole Lucchese, accompanied on guitar (the second song, Its nature ) by Dario Candelù. Finally Gian Paolo and Chiara Todaro Maccatrozzo (guitar and vocals) closed the evening with three songs from the Italian repertoire for female voice as an unreleased Clare ( Sola).

Two hours of continuous music, applauded until the last . One will say a quarter to midnight, at the concert ended, people will be gone home. No: least a dozen people stopped for a tour "at night" , certainly more peaceful and enjoyable for the afternoon. People more than anything else "outside" (Mestre, but not only), who have seized the opportunity to become acquainted with the gem that 50 years we find ourselves at home: the National Archaeological Museum of Altino, precisely ...

Morale (as I mentioned at the beginning of value "moral "...): everything went perfectly because each has played its part too without slamming. maximum results with minimum effort and minimum expense . And thanks to the synergy between reality in the area without going to bother capital (human and financial) external.

turn their ... blades when who holds the purse strings that the national states people do not eat culture, or when our mayor said in the press that the cutting 137mila € imposed by our common financial maneuver game will fall under the Associations and culture (New Venice 29/6/2010: cuts € 137 000, Fourth, diminish the contributions to associations ), but if in these years was been done a different job with the associations on the territory, instead of weaving sfasciatura , events such as last Saturday to Altino be the rule, not one of the few exceptions to that - fortunately - are still there.

Why is true that the culture does not feeds his stomach, but feeds the spirit and - most importantly - locally feeds the need for recovery a concept that underlies the sense of community and identity: the social .

(Giacomo Leopardi)

Friday evening (November 19th) at 20:45 at the Civic Center Portegrandi will hold a public meeting entitled "Portegrandi: Identity and new scenarios ". Guest Professor of the evening. Ivano Sartor, former mayor of Roncade, currently director of the Archives of Contemporary Cassamarca Foundation, and author of several books on the history of the Venetian and Marca, including two fine books on our region: medieval and modern Altino and Gates Department of Sile . For there will be interviewing Silvia Conte, an expert on the tourism economy.

The evening is organized by 'cultural association Gate Parks : association I've heard for the first time on this occasion, although he is based in Quarto d'Altino. The address and telephone numbers in the letterhead refer to those of the company's headquarters in Marina Portegrandi - Vivaldi Srl, which owns the area of \u200b\u200bthe new dock and a large portion of the "Conca", and in 2004 the promoter PIRUEA targeted to deliver in the name and on behalf of all owners of the affected areas [...] the urban renewal of the Basin of Portegrandi.

be honest: that the promoters of the project "Marine Portegrandi" will return today to propose talk about "new scenario" (and even more "identity") for Portegrandi, seen as the recovery plan is progressing of the "Conca" in almost three years of existence, it seems to me bizarre.

To understand what I'm talking about, just visit the site of the Marina Portegrandi, starting from PIRUEA on the page, where you can view and download an interesting layout of the area with the final draft

by comparing the current situation ...

of the operations covered by the project (dock, residence, club house, shopping centers, facilities Sports, recovery of the island "Conca") were produced only the dock, the residence and recovered a pair of residential buildings near the closed .

No hotel, no "mall", no "club house" (multi-purpose center with offices, fitness center, showroom, restaurant-pizzeria marina views, swimming pool, lounge bar with outdoor terrace), no sports facilities , not one of 'at least 250 new housing units that will give life to three other villages in addition to the historical village on the island. "

But the legacy that for now the project has left on the village of Portegrandi I think extends far beyond the borders of the "Conca" . Just do a tour in the area and overlap with an ideal scenario this photograph taken ten - or even less - years ago.

It is as if this time something has drained the lifeblood of population, especially in terms of small businesses, which - you know - are the basis of sociability and sense of community in particularly in small towns.

Take the Conca: until a few years ago there was still a restaurant and "el casoin" (the "casoin" from which the whole history of the beautiful novel Mala Air - Veneto famine Antonella Benvenuti), and this meant life. Then, the building that housed the two secular activities was included in the recovery plan e. .. Go and see how taken: abandoned after a first draft of restoration, while the church of the late '600 'which consists of 6 apartments of 70 sqm ground floor and first floor with terraces overlooking the marina and gardens relevance of which overlook the marina berth with direct access to "increasingly falls to pieces (although the site of the Navy, talk like a done deal" were obtained ...»). Once through the locks then, the only certainty that with you during the walk to the bank of the Sile is that it is cutting "denied access" , obsessively repeated with signs of all sizes, something that until at least 10 years ago did not happen, so much so that every altinate doc has been able to penetrate the atmosphere of the island of Marzi, reaching as far north embankment overlooking the lagoon.

other side Triestina the situation is not the best: the only venue left is the bar-pizzeria and B & B "Al vecio mold, and the only businesses that resist (if we exclude the bank and mail, that given the ridiculous rents they pay to the municipality have no reason to leave: in 2009 the bank paid € 10,890 a year, the post office - has long been privatized and become in turn a bank ... - € 3098.76 per year) is a pharmacy and a hairdresser, after in the last five years have ended the food, the butcher, the hardware, the haberdasher and the inn . A

Carafa (just beyond the overpass Triestina) things go a bit 'better, in proportion to the size of the settlement, given that resists the bakery and bar / tobacconist / newsagent, a hairdresser and another' beautician, but where those ' unfinished building and seized by the Court of Venice , built on the ashes of the pizzeria "Mario," hangs over the town like a sad omen ...

think that the mega-project of the "marina" has not played a role in all this is to underestimate the reality, since the revival of the village of Portegrandi had to pass because of "this" project: a project, in addition to the urban renewal area of \u200b\u200bdegraded, but still alive and busy just for being still so characteristic (I mean wing "Conca", or "pot" if you prefer), promised jobs .

In a kind of "plant" (as we say) with an activity would have meant giving each in the foot, as happened in the past to most of those who opened a business in one of the many new countries immersed in the network of shopping malls that imprisons our territory. Even so, according to information found at the site of the Marina Portegrandi, is not very clear which activities and services will be carried out precisely , especially as may be unexpended by the citizens non-proprietary or non-customers (hotel, of residence, etc. of the dock.). If we consider a project that just passed was turned over to the village a questionnaire in which he asked the citizens what kind of services and activities would wanted to be born in the dock, it is clear that anyone, before risking money and time, we have thought over and over again, until I decided that it was not worth the effort.

In short, the impression I have is that Portegrandi fact, in this situation, it is sitting on the riverbank waiting for it to pass not the corpse of his enemy - as the Chinese proverb - but his Saviour, who, however - because of delays, the economic crisis or simply a very ambitious project - we have been waiting for too long , to the point that the country not only has not been raised, but - as we have seen - in some ways is also regressed .

This in my opinion should make us reflect on a fundamental concept: when the solutions are not from the top and bottom (not from a need for concrete and localized, but ideal and packaged by a need to have more "appeal ") can bring more harm than good , even if made - total or partial - good faith.

That said, I'm curious to hear, on Friday, as "new scenarios" that lie ahead for this village, with Altino Trepalade and San Michele Vecchio, is the "heart " historic, traditional and cultural heritage of our country (In this regard reference to Article El Quarto de vecio speech, published exactly 10 years ago in the pages of Al Suq, and for which I had used the gentle "advice" of prof. Sartor, then engaged in writing of "medieval and modern Altino).
