A radiopop 01/21/2011 culture in Verona, obelisks, banks, Glaxo and other
Just to pause, to stop the flow of news about our smelly head of government, his courtiers our own, the Veronese League that they distract from the pole and after dinner the hooded horseman monument to Garibaldi in defiance of the unification of Italy and so "The Arena" fills a full pages and can not find the space to ask instead for the Northern League Verona what they think of their companion Arcore, let's talk about 'the other.
The culture, Mimma Perbellini, says that tourism holds in Verona, in fact grows by 10% and the numbers, the digits.
Total visitors in 2010: one million and 250 thousand not counting of course the spectators of the performances Arena.
I wanted to understand a little 'better than these numbers.
While this figure we take visitors to places that traditional places where the flow of visitors (certified by the tickets sold) is due to the significance of the place itself and not to cultural events that take place there and that is the house of Juliet, Juliet's tomb, Castelvecchio, Arena as a monument, Lapidary Museum, Archaeological Museum, San Giorgeto remain (the account is easy) 80,000 distributed among the many visitors asked for a fee, the Gallery of Modern Art, the La Scala and other excavations.
words, no special event, therefore, no major initiative that has attracted its own specific flow of tourists and the rest of the assessor to understand that serving others, for example, the "health tourism" (I have spoken evil, the last time) and concludes, in her delight, that "we must not rest on our laurels." Rest on their laurels? In this regard
intervenes in the newspaper "L'Arena" of the Municipal Councillor PD Orietta Salemi
and cites examples and says things sensatissime thesis and proposals and expressed to us care for some time as they know the listeners of popular radio.
Salemi Writes: "... the commissioner Perbellini hopes the advent of a patron who could fund projects and initiatives ... but what good, santa reason a firm or a group of entrepreneurs should invest resources and energy of before a design desert? ".
He continues: "I will say: we need resources. No, we need ideas ... a common goal and the highest, that of a city which, with its wealth of historical and artistic resources of the expected return to be true protagonist of the attention and the national interest and global modernity. " And
Councillor Salemi by giving examples of other cities that have done and are doing this.
How true. I doubt that will be heard by those who should.
A confirmation of my distrust "The Arena" yesterday gave notice of a next big cultural event.
The title: "An obelisk in the middle of Melon Court."
Here is the description of the work, the work presented by the Councillor to urban excitement of the City of Verona, Pisa, and the President of the Old Town district Gelmetti: "... a monument that is a jeweler Alberto Zucchetta allegory of Verona, there will be elements related Adige, productivity and ingenuity of the Veronese and Dante Alighieri, and is based on the mathematical language of beauty on multiples of three as they used the classic artists.
And again: "It will be six blocks of an obelisk of white marble from Verona for more than three meters high, which indicates the exact center of the city Court Melon being halfway between Piazza Erbe and Piazza Bra. The obelisk will be placed on a circular base of marble carved with an eight-pointed star and 24 popular professions written in Verona and set a melon and a gourd cast in bronze. "
Melon Melon Court because the place is, the pumpkin because the author is called Zucchetta. It seems to me that not even Michelangelo put "signatures" as evident.
Court Melon is that space between Four Swords and off via Catullo and certainly needs a re-but what does the obelisk?
I extend a heartfelt prayer to the superintendent Gianna Gaudin, the director of the Museum of Castelvecchio and for some days, also director of the Gallery of Modern Art Paola Marini, and people I know and those I respect in this miserable city now do not already have all barbaric, "Stop them!".
They filled the city, its streets, its squares, its gardens, its fountains, the facades of its buildings, even the banks of the river with statues, statuettes, plaques, busts, bronze, marble, works of self-styled artists and however unlikely without a choice, without a contest, as if the city were the private property of those who, temporarily, the administration. Administer
means to manage and protect the good of the community. To get your hands on a city, a city like Verona, but in every city and historic place in this country must act with caution sum call to confront the best and perhaps better not to intervene at all.
The justification: "give us the 'works. What can I say? Actually we have administrators that we deserve or, perhaps, we are particularly unlucky?
We had the gift of a beautiful city and leave a legacy a gallery of the lowest order for would-be artists. Outstanding
the legacy of misery and returned. So tell us?
So, stop, do not be jointly responsible.
on "Verona Fedele" this morning Fasani Don gets angry with the state TV "... whose programs are all intent on teaching new generations the modern techniques of Kama Sutra", with Conrad Augias "committed ... to carve out spaces to modern Voltaire, "with" ... the guffaw of decomposed Littizzetto coprolalia long moved his head to the south of the navel. "
Apart from the language that led, in my opinion, reveals a barely concealed morbidity, not a word about, instead edifying, after dinner at Arcore. In fact
. A few months ago Fasani Don took the field in defense of Berlusconi writing: "... have it with him just because he likes women." The bill returns.
of Glaxo and banks will talk next time.
