Sandro Cordeschi, presented Saturday, Feb. 19 at Casa Onna us who wrote the book with contributions from David Maria Adacher , Port Antonio Giordano and Silvetti. The book contains an important political message, that we all share: the Aterno is a river that joins , which flows from the mountains to the sea, from L'Aquila, Pescara. Writing this book was for the authors, all of L'Aquila, a gesture of profound gratitude for the people of the coast so that has helped people affected by the earthquake moments very difficult post-earthquake.
beautiful sense of the narrative of the book suggest that everyone read: along the banks (and into the water) Aterno-Pescara and its tributaries are walking to seek identity, memory, signs of beauty too often concealed. The trip, repeated several times by the authors over many years and with different means and intent, is transformed into stories, which are amazing contacts with the present and the sense of our times.
paths are discovered, living realities, possibilities, truth before unknown hours fed by feelings of pain triggered by the quake. It is understandable that with the water flowing infinite lives and visions, where people, that now inhabit this land, they are part. In the water and the banks do not meet Aterno only memories and nostalgia, but to play the part of the future of many of the Eagle. The system-Abruzzo has a complex relationship between inland and coastal areas. The rivers that run through the valleys, although small in size, facilities and opportunities roots, inextricably linked in the mountains to the sea. Among them, Aterno is the central vein, even the heart. Brother then tells
River, in the spirit of the wanderer and traveler's sentimental, but also in that of the scholar and economist, the relationship that exists between the Aterno-Pescara and the people of Abruzzo, with a path divided into different sections: the first is between the reality and the imagination of the places that plays them, in the second documented historical ages and lifetimes, in the third glance, analytical and passionate at the same time, the ways in which eco- economy linked to the river can be combined with the ecology and the development of a territory and wants to be reborn.
The publication of the book is included in the project Liquid Treasures of the Laboratory of Anthropological Studies Independent - LHASA, and is aimed at enhancing its natural, historical and cultural wonders of the river valley and its main tributaries, without forgetting the cultural and economic tradition in its development until the current period.
accepting fully the motivation of the perpetrators, we contribute to our social environment to disseminate the scientific work carried out so that the liquid Treasures d'Abruzzo not remain hidden to travelers and enthusiasts like us, but also nurture the "pass word" will of discovery and love of the land.
Thanks to Sandro, our partner in order to be able to give us this scientific and feeling at this moment of our lives as women and men willing, for the words of the book, need a "matchless boost optimism of the will ....".
