Tonight, at 3:36, it will bee exactly 4 years since the terrible earthquake that have been hitting the middle of Italy killing about 300 people. I think it’s a must we don’t forget it:
When I returned to Italy, before the outbreak of the pandemic, I decided to take two trips to retrace my steps in Wandering Italia: the first time was a “pleasure trip” to Rocca Calascio, the second had a much deeper meaning because I returned to those places that had a devastating emotional impact on me, for what I saw and for the people I met.
And if during my journey, and then in my return last year, I decided out of a form of respect not to document the devastation caused by the cursed 2016 earthquake, this time I have decided to do completely the opposite to show you in what conditions still pour.
Because, probably, like me in 2018, you can’t imagine …
Why not talk about it only at Christmas!
Because, Christ, it would also be time to do something!
Not to forget!
PS:
The video was shot on March 4 and, as soon as the pandemic broke out, I thought it appropriate to avoid bringing more sadness, anger and desolation.
Now I think the time has come to give dignity and a voice to those people who have lost everything and who, for almost 4 years, have been living in unacceptable conditions.
Below you will find two videos, the full 15-minute report, and a shorter one of only images and music.
Wow, the video and pictures say a million words and such devastation will never be forgotten and your timing was perfect to share it all Manuel. It reminds me of all of the fires we have endured and driving by and seeing the rebuild is remarkable. 💖
Lucky you have rebuilding going on, in Italy nothing have been done, for that I had to denounce… 😡😡😉
Yes, sooooo true!
Oh that’s soooo sad! 😢😢😢
yeah… 😞😞😞
