publish a letter, has come down to our friend Mrs. Micca Luisa
"Hello, I am a woman who lives and works in our area. I was born and to work as many other kids in twenty years I moved.
am first lived in a big city 'and then in a town of about 30,000 inhabitants. To anyone who, + - knowing me for the first time, asked me where I came I said: "I come from a small town in southern Tuscany, Pitigliano is called, maybe I do not know", and instead I felt like answering: "yes I and know 'that beautiful old town that appears suddenly around a bend. That must be nice to live there.'' The first time will be surprised.
sometimes invited to my house in Pitigliano some friends for the weekend, naturally I took them to visit our beautiful and they also remained enchanted by what they saw: the inland quarries, the town lit up at night, the streets that branch off on a spur of tufa, and walking seemed as if time had stopped. In this way I could know better the place where I was born and appreciate it more 'that in the twenty years during which we grew up.
Twenty years later I returned to live in my house in Pitigliano, of course, bringing all my family and now I work in Sorano. This choice 'was dictated mainly by the fact that my children could grow more' healthy in a place where the air was still breathable and quiet ', without the risks the city and for us parents perhaps a bit 'of quiet country life would be good. I made almost at once that something was wrong. My oldest son had some problems entering the circle of friends who cut him off at the beginning I tried to minimize it, but slowly I realized that the same happened to me with most of the other parents. I was used to conduct open and jovial people of the country where I lived for fourteen years, and find myself trying to be part of a community that makes you almost feel that it is not acceptable, really made me feel bad. Hear by a child of nine years, "Mama, 'cause we came here? What are we doing? is something you do not wish it on anyone.
Coming from outside, I tried to analyze the situation with detachment.
I realized that our, and say our 'cause I still feel part of it, and' a community 'closed, which does not give space to "foreigners," without thinking that people who come from other companies can make an important contribution to bringing their experience and maybe seeing things differently. The mentality of most 'and' remained that many years ago, and I come to say that this comes from the isolation Geographically, the fact that our roads are scarce and bad, 'cause this could be true for our grandparents, who traveled with the mule, but not for us, we move hundreds of miles just to make a around the mall.
Our guys do not have a gathering place, walk around aimlessly, do not have a place to place to chat, where you can spend rainy Sundays, where you can get together and tested, in to grow at an intellectual level. For years no longer have 'even a cinema! It 's true is private, then the owner needs to do its legitimate choices, but I wonder given that the City and 'the owner of a theater, because' and not 'even thought fit to film screenings. Sometimes just a little. I often talk about missing funds, and this' no doubt true, but sometimes a little 'good will' can improve things. If you want to do some 'sports to your children, or do you like football, or you're screwed,' cause the only sport recognized by our common 'and' the ball. The only initiatives, directed at our children are private or religious. For example, the commitment made by Some people, mostly parents, who gave birth to "POL San Rocco, with some courses that engages young athletes into something different.
Our strengths are our guys, if you do not try to exploit them, to help them, train them properly, we risk that, once finished school and going to college, knowing reality 'different from ours, not wish to return and even if someone wanted to return, notwithstanding the current situation, would not the future. You can not pretend nothing happened.
An administration that does not attempt to value the youth in any way, it involves him, indeed try to download the blame on some parents, that thinking about the future of their children, make the choice to send them to study outside the area (see Acquapendente), judging those better schools, it seems to me quite wrong. . 'Cause, however, does not seek to develop institutions that we have and make it valid, increasing their quality' and help make our children a future? This problem must be addressed now before it's too late and as a 'success for the course surveyor.
I realized that most citizens do not participate in public life, largely because 'the Administration is not seeking even to engage people, but also because we like to stay out and maybe complain in private. This is no longer possible. We must try not to be passive and accept whatever comes from above, but try to express our ideas, say what we think, not only inside their home. Our country and 'stop and thirty years ago. One moment he wakes up in the election period and then returns to slumber and delegates its future to a select few.
saying this I just want to criticize, but I'd like that these criticisms were constructive, a cue to try to begin to change things, change mindsets, become a true community, collaborate with us. Let me give an example. Our country is known throughout Italy. If this were to promote, in every sense of the word, through our association between restaurant and hotel etc. merchants. without having to always think of each "own backyard", and perhaps envy the next "'cause his lawn is greener", perhaps there would be something more than the tourists passing daily through the streets, buy two bottles of wine, and having regard to the prices of local walks away quickly. There are villages that do not even have the perfect 'beauty and places that we have, (the "vie cave, not to mention Strozzoni hillock place now abandoned), but for a fair administrative policy and spirit of cooperation have developed exceptionally Our economy is based on tourism and agriculture, but if we try to do things together, not get nothing. To do this we all citizens and especially the administrators we have to study, analyze, compare, have a vision for the future, also know how to put in play and not live on an income of 50/100 personally hope that we can, we must intervene determined by addressing the problems and not hide under the carpet. Return to use the word as a synonym for political service and attention to a community and not as a duty and a right of which a citizen must recover it.
Another provocation. But do you have a mayor and a councilor who do not live in the municipality administering and 'a good or bad thing? How can they know our problems and then administer a positive? Will they have at heart the country and the community a place where I live? To do so would be very smart! It will be really the case? Thank you for your hospitality
'I conclude by saying that we have potential' incredible and the means to use them is to us to begin a path. "
