Corpo Appennino

«I understood that we are people-body and country-body and that walking on this vast piece of territory from Monte Sole to Sant'Anna di Stazzema means maintaining a healthy and robust constitution, or rather healthy and robust ideals» .
Take some summers and compare them, for example that of '44 and our summers, those made up of safety decrees and deaths in the Mediterranean, or my summer of head surgery, which leads to slowing down, to rely on others, to question being self-sufficient. The left ear that hears less, the left side of the country that can't give answers. Country body, Apennines body, bodies on the move, a woman's body: wounds that overlap and speak to each other. Reconsider those summers through a group walk on the Apennines between Emilia Romagna and Tuscany, from Monte Sole to Sant'Anna di Stazzema, in the places of the Nazi-Fascist massacres. A path of mountains full of long-abandoned dead. Taking steps to find a place for memory and oiling the current mechanisms to put a brake on barbarism. Rediscover the importance of doing things together to make adjustments, to insist on changing things, to not watch and listen in vain. Waiting for the sense of utopia to be recognized among the human senses.
