[A thought to all the viewers who are enjoying the first Fabrizio's documentary about "our" city San Domenico, and friends who have participated in its creation, and I regret not being there, so I dedicate this symbolic action.
I was given the opportunity to write a short text as an introduction to the documentary, you'll hear played at the opening (though slightly modified) by the voice of Rods. It is a sort of instant overview, a description of the various zones or uncertain aspects of Ravenna, faltering and alleniana.
The audience for the following reasons: sound advertising (you can see it for free at San Domenico, in the end of Via Cavour, close to the Market Hall); gratitude Varesco to you for the opportunity, integration, albeit indirect, to the previous work on the geography, to make known the original version of the script.
impressions would be challenging to know who made the documentary for its "first" crowd: the space of the post is also open to comments and especially about potential interference to your visual work.]
" Ravenna, Ravenna.
Chapter One.
was born and grew up in Ravenna. He loved all of his city, the size, history, climate, the center.
not could never imagine life without her - would never be able to imagine ...
No, no, no. Not good at all.
Then, start over.
Ravenna was his town. Every street, every slightest detail of landscape old emotions aroused in him. It was as if every stone was imbued with memories and experiences.
He remembered that time with her in the evening, stroll along the railings of San Vitale. As it was beautiful! Suddenly came near, and -
What has? All we needed was just the usual love story.
Dai, struggled a little bit more, that cost you?
more precise, more analytical. Data: it takes data. Whether or not a documentary?
Ravenna area 652 km ²; altitude: 4 m above sea level; aopolazione: 157,479 inhabitants; 8 monuments declared World Heritage Site; work: 67% male employment rate - 35 th place national employment rate for women 61.3% - 6th national position, population of foreign citizenship: 17,190 - immigration rate 28.1 ...
my God, that posting! Start too cold. The numbers scare - does not work.
Concentrates, collect ideas from a few cuts to the description:
The Ravenna Antica: Yes, the historic capital, dissolute, the impregnable stronghold of Byzantine, surrounded by mud and defense against mosquitoes. Even with history! No and no.
The industrial Ravenna: the red desert creaking and puffing, covered with skeletons, ferrous and necks of blast furnaces, the Dock, the smell ... No, past cliche.
So let's try the Ravenna hedonistic ride that takes drugs es'ubriaca Saturday summer evening: the machines to a crawl in search of the car park, the sand in your shoes, the screams of little girls, their faces pale before the breathalyzer - worse than before. Rhetorical, wordy.
No, then, the resistance of Ravenna: the old men who speak dialect at the bar in the station, and that risk by cutting round the front, the old women who gossip under my window of their neighbor.
Ravenna So why not the immigrants, who helps park in Kennedy Square and sells necklaces in the summer by the sea? Were that simple ...
Perhaps the Ravenna areas? The beaches, the towns forgotten, Savio, San Zaccaria, the foothills, Bertinoro, the gentle countryside of Romagna?
Or the clichés of Ravenna, mosaics and Wonderland.
Ah yes, a good documentary would be out.
Stop for a moment.
You had to write an introduction and you are only able to raccozzare childhood memories or recurrent images, with a disorder that does not allow itself to be easily tamed.
Perhaps one introduction is not enough.
To understand a city need to tell it over and over again, from different voices, at different times - and the image composed by the choir of voices that will be the real city. "
