Indiana Jones in Lecce
Once Upon a Time Lecce. The
Lecce we see the past, inanimate, in which mixed photographic enlargements to print toning bring the nostalgia of times gone by.
a temple made of carriages, striped curtains that sheltered balconies and soft wares. Greengrocers, grocer, and fishmongers throwing carnezzieri calls. And then ... itinerant barbers card readers, cripples and beggars, monks cercantini. A succession of voices that crossed destinies. There was once a
Piazza Sant'Oronzo without the pit of the amphitheater, the oval was in another location surrounded by arcades all around, the seat had a tower with the clock. Modernity c'aveva brought electricity and a via ferrata brought people to San Cataldo, the first part of that trolley bus that is late in starting.
History builds its layers and cities have come up filling the holes in the past, recovering the stones to do it again. The former was not a problem. For a long period of time the past was not contemplated as an asset to protect. There was the passion of going forward, to grow, move forward. Then, in parallel with the emptying of el'imbarbarimento sense of value-led, philosophical, ideological, the West rediscovered the charm of the glorious deeds of the people originate. "Dea Roma Hi! Do you sparkle in front of the Sun which rises from the new history, resplendent in arms, is the last horizon Victory "sang the Fascist anthem in his way to Rome and to make" holes ". It was limited to this style of excavation Indiana Jones there would be no problem, but we all know how that turned out. Now, our deputy mayor and Councillor for Culture is preparing to launch a recovery plan that provides for the enhancement Lecce submerged traces of the city's history, present in large numbers under the soil of the capital.
Project is not new. Let us remain calm, not take us to war! The objective of Hon. Poli is to complete the project for many years pursued with determination to do even more beautiful Lecce, dense and proud of his suggestions.
We feel, however, of having to give advice in mind the infinite time it takes to shape Castromediano Piazzetta. First act of re-discovery of hidden Lecce. That this has been looked at carefully, despite the large windows 'deluded' are raised to make it seen.
pity that there is no descriptive signs of the 'wonder' below, installed at the time of excavation. That means a way to look back, to get an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat the weather has changed. A page sometimes say much more than a few stones. What convinces us of the project, more than making holes here and there, it is the intention of recovery and full development Rudiae the Park. The museum
to think there is already widespread: Lecce is the same. The problem is showing it, together, taking the open churches, courtyards open with more frequency and method. On clearing and cross the remains of the amphitheater, the theater and the Castle of Charles V. The rest could be described, narrated by 'open pages' and tales of the guides.
A city that is enough in itself, Lecce, as it is if we just noticing its quality continuously betrayed and deluded, its minimum needs for care and protection.
But that's another story!
