In Irpinia 30 years ago as an Eagle last year. Andrea Salandra
The Apennines dancer sometimes it just repeats these tragedies. Italy trembles.
For my scientific training it is a fact of nature with which man has not yet learned to live and / or manage : first of all with the prevention and management of the event as it happens.
So it would take more investment in people and the creation of a true culture of Protezione Civile e della prevenzione. E’ amaro considerare che a distanza di 30 anni nulla è migliorato.
E per quanto mi riguarda, pur restando immenso il dolore per la perdita degli affetti più cari, posso assicurarvi che il dopo-terremoto mi ha creato continue amarezze .
Ad iniziare dalle bare che non si trovavano e dal mercato nero che, ricordo, si svolgeva sotto gli occhi di chi invece era preposto ad intervenire. La difficoltà a trovare un saldatore per evitare che le salme venissero messe in una fossa comune.
O il constatare come in un paesino, dove la solidarietà è stata sempre alla base della convivenza, si scatenino istinti di sopravvivenza tali da portare indifference, while some were concerned about their dead there were others who were anxious to recover their demijohns.
How can I forget the silly lights in the night roamed the rubble: jackals, even strangers, looking for something to take away.
Now after arranging their loved ones, everyone's concern was to recover the most of their things, their intimacy. A frenzy that spared no one among those who had their homes destroyed and their belongings, even the most intimate, at the mercy of all.
gathered around and tried to fix it somewhere safe. Who writes all accumulated the house of his grandfather, but then still having to get rid of everything after a few years.
impressive solidarity of the Italians, especially after the call of President Pertini, sent a huge amount of aid .. sometimes useless objects, or perhaps were left to the first people I met on the street, I was among the first to think of collecting many food in the center of fear.
How can we forget the first camp, the first trailer. The only trailer that people had seen until then was mine, when I descended to my vacation.
In the months immediately following the difficulties were enormous and the winter is particularly cold. With spring
life would have picked ... but the population, still stunned by the tragedy, was struggling. A bustle of volunteers from all over Italy, all over Europe.
traditions and behaviors that disappeared and turned into a very short time. A small community, which until then had lived with the values \u200b\u200bof a small country was confronted with people who came in place is not always a good end!
The rhythms of a small community, which until then had based its economy growing in the field, jumped.
Instead of resuming his work in the fields in the morning people was, alas, forced to stay until 10 in the country wait for the distribution of bread.
After the container sheet for the lucky ones were beginning to get the "houses of Zamberletti" as Aquila, last year, came the "case of Berlusconi" .. history repeats itself.
prefabricated wooden houses made by Rubner of Trent ..... Beautiful and expensive, they say!
Normally two bedrooms a bathroom and a small room with a kitchenette that had been hastily constructed near the monastery at the foot of the mountain, in the coldest!
With the reconstruction of the breakup of the country was emphasized.
urban settlements were distributed differently: St. Lucia at the most ....
The old landmarks were gone.
Disorientation value: however, resorting to the use of the car, however the sanmennese moved to meet up with friends "Under the Church" or "Above the Bridge" also recalled the old bar that had withstood the earthquake. All
have recovered their homes, some even more than that.
The prefabricated wood Rubner of Trent remained. A wise decision of the Administration allowed to profit from these traditional settlements, renting the cabins to anyone wishing to spend some quiet end week in the mountains.
Cassette holiday indeed. Unsuitable for those who normally would during the day due to travel to the land.
impressions and feelings often experienced from afar, while I enjoyed, I must admit, the convenience of Verona, where I came in, attracted by the birth of her daughter occurred one month after the earthquake .
I was tempted to return and why not practice my profession as a geologist who, remember, when I attended the University I found it difficult to explain in the country.
I thought of going to speculate on the tragedy of my parents ...
For me now, as then I think it was a mistake to delegate to local governments, until now used to manage small budgets, the management of dopoterremoto and particularly the reconstruction.
A healthy democratic principle difficult to manage in these situations.
In the days immediately following a radio interview I suggested that he asked me to join in a single settlement in the valley of the three villages destroyed: Laviano and Castelnuovo-Santomenna
If these three villages were merged into a single town hall things would be different and administrators would be forced to think and act bigger. Instead of 30 years after the emigration è ripresa e più di prima.
Il terremoto poteva essere un’occasione di sviluppo così come lo è stato per i friulani...
E per concludere, una considerazione amara...
A trent’anni di distanza ho capito perché a Santomenna, per certi aspetti una generazione è saltata. Prima perché coloro i quali erano in età di matrimonio durante il terremoto pochissimi si sono sposati e soprattutto perché scorrendo ora l’elenco delle vittime ho notato tanti bambini ...
Il terremoto è anche questo!!!

Buogiorno Professor,
are Tonino, I have since tried to express what I bring in from that 23 November 80, a testimony to the younger generation, for my children and the smiles you receive from those who perished in that tragic event, a wound still open adding the regret of not being able to be.
S EALTH Tonino.
