  • Molisans Between Transoceanic Vocations and the Lure of the Continent
    / 4 / 2011 / Migrations Molisans between transoceanic vocations and the lure of the Continent by Norberto Lombardi 1. The opening up of hyper-rural Molise After the armies had passed through Molise, on the morrow of the end of World War II, Molisans’ main preoccupation was not leaving their land and looking for better job and life prospects abroad. There were more immediate concerns, such as the return of prisoners, the high cost of living, rebuilding bombed towns, restoring roads and railways, restoring the water and electricity supply, and finding raw materials for artisanal activities. The recovery of the area was thus seen in a rather narrow perspective, as the healing of the wounds inflicted by the war to local society and the productive infrastructure, or, at most, as a reinforcement and development of traditional activities. The only sector where this perspective broadened was that of interregional transportation. The hope was to overcome the isolation of the region, although as a long-term project. When one peruses the local pages of the more or less politically engaged newspapers and journals that appeared with the return of democracy, and when one looks at institutional activities, especially those of the Consiglio provinciale di Campobasso, one is even surprised by the paucity and belatedness of references to the theme of emigration, deeply rooted as it is in the social conditions and culture of the Molisans.1 For example, one has to wait until 1949 for a report from Agnone, one of the historical epicenters of Molisan migration, to appear in the newspaper Il Messaggero.2 The report 1 For an overview of the phenomenon of migration in the history of the region, see Ricciarda Simoncelli, Il Molise.

  • 2.5. El Cine De Ettore Scola Valeriano Durán Manso
    2.5. El cine de Ettore Scola Valeriano Durán Manso 2.5.1. Introducción Italia cuenta con una historia del cine muy particular. Es un país en el que siempre ha habido una gran sensibilidad a la hora de contar historias, algo que se ha dado de igual forma en la literatura o en la música. Esta característica permite hablar de una cinematografía con mayúsculas pues el cine italiano es, junto con el americano, el que ha tenido mayor proyección internacional y el que ha dado mayores éxitos en el ámbito europeo a nivel de directores, actores o productores. Como si de Hollywood se tratara, en los años veinte se construyó Cinecittá, una nueva ciudad dentro de Roma equipada para la realización de películas, es decir, para fabricar sueños y este elemento supone un revolución total en el ámbito de la realización en el viejo continente. En un principio, el cine italiano se enfocó mucho a las películas históricas, una etapa que se superó en la década de los treinta, a través de películas como Cabiria (1914), Los últimos días de Pompeya (1925) o Escipión el africano (1937). Con la llegada de la II Guerra Mundial, el cine cambió debido a la concienciación social que los cineastas tomaron tras la contienda y esto supuso una revolución internacional en el ámbito cinematográfico. De esta manera, el Neorrealismo se convirtió en el reflejo de la realidad italiana pues existía una necesidad de narrar lo que ocurría en las familias, en el mundo laboral y, en definitiva, había un gran interés por contar al mundo la situación de Italia tras la guerra.

  • MOLISE Shorter Travelling Time to Rome the New Railway Lines
    MOLISE Shorter travelling time to Rome The new railway lines passing through the Molise region will be faster and, above all, safer. The new line, 49 km long, currently under construction between the stations of Rocca d’Evandro and Vairano, could reduce travelling time between Rome and Campobasso by about 20 minutes. Passengers arriving from Termoli on the Adriatic line could go through Venafro to reach the high-speed Rome-Naples line, which is also under construction, more quickly. The Venafro-Vairano stretch, on the other hand, is in need of technological upgrading. Centralised traffic control (CTC) is being installed on the Molise part of the Adriatic line. This is indispensable for railway safety given that double tracking on parts of the line will increase train speeds. Cleaner water A number of schemes have been promoted in an effort to improve water and sewage networks and upgrade the water purification system. As regards water networks, new equipment has been installed and some existing plant improved. This involved 109 projects spread over 136 municipalities in the region. In addition, 108 km of sewer trunk lines and collectors were laid and 74 new sewage plants put into operation, serving a population of 250,000 out of a total of about 330,000. The Pompei of the Dark Ages In the province of Isernia, major rehabilitation has been carried out in the San Vincenzo al Volturno area, an abbatial settlement founded in the Dark Ages and one of the most important monastic institutions of the Carolingian period, described by some as the Pompei of the Dark Ages.

  • Rai Cinema – Intervento Per La Commissione Senato 02/07/2020
    RAI CINEMA – INTERVENTO PER LA COMMISSIONE SENATO 02/07/2020 IL CINEMA DOPO L’EMERGENZA Il cinema, parte fondamentali dell’industria culturale italiana, è tra i settori più colpiti dalla crisi scaturita dall’emergenza Covid. I set si sono dovuti fermare per diversi mesi e le sale cinematografiche sono state chiuse. Si parla di centinaia di aziende, oltre 61.000 lavoratori per le sole attività dirette della produzione ed oltre 172.000 all’interno dell’indotto di primo livello. Sono 1218 i cinema che dovranno ripartire al meglio, per un totale di 3542 schermi. Un comparto che, se considerato nella sua interezza (dalla produzione alle industrie tecniche, dalla distribuzione all’esercizio e ai servizi) è in grado di sviluppare un moltiplicatore economico significativo: ogni euro investito sul cinema riesce infatti a generarne almeno altri quattro. Il cinema è parte dell’economia italiana e quando si pensa ad un film, al prodotto finito, bisognerebbe anche far riferimento all’industria, all’occupazione e alla fiscalità che ne derivano. Ogni singolo film porta con sé una piccola economia sostenuta da maestranze e professionalità, tradizionalmente di altissimo livello in Italia. Far partire la produzione di un film significa ingaggiare un set in cui trovano lavoro in media quaranta persone, cinquanta per le produzioni più importanti, che moltiplicati per il numero dei film complessivi, supportati dal servizio pubblico, si traducono in decine di migliaia di unità impiegate nella realizzazione dei film, senza considerare gli sfruttamenti a valle costituiti da moltissime realtà, anche innovative ed emergenti, che vivono grazie all’esistenza del prodotto cinematografico (distribuzione, esercizio, piattaforme online, etc.).
