Nuclear safe? There

Intendo parlare delle centrali nucleari, necessary to exploit, in a peaceful manner, the power of the energy derived from uranium fission, which first obtained in 1935, the great scientist Enrico Fermi and his other eminent contributors, a group of scholars remembered by history as the guys Panisperna away. For this exceptional discovery in 1938 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in Fermi. It was the first step in the exploitation of the atom. Then he came with his studies, first of Julius Robert Oppenheimer, the construction of the first atomic bomb. The effects of these devastating bombs dropped by the Americans during the Second World War, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to induce Japan to surrender, since I was a boy, besides me shudder with horror, made me think that this energy, for the good of humanity, should be used only for peaceful purposes.

I must say that I welcomed with pleasure the news of foreign construction of the first nuclear power plants for electricity production in each country had and continues to have an even greater need. During my occasional trips by train to Rome, made in the past, often saw near the train station in Montalto di Castro, a big yard, where he was to rise to a large nuclear power plant. In 1986, unfortunately, exploded at Chernobyl in Ukraine, a nuclear power plant for the production of energy. Hazardous material was released into the atmosphere radioactive, causing numerous deaths and serious damage to the environment and people. Toxic clouds scattered in European skies. Since this disaster began the campaign in Italy against the building of this type of nuclear power plants.

In 1987 there was a referendum that confirmed the will of the Italian people not to build power plants of the species. From then on we had to resort to other means to produce electricity. One thing is certain, coal, oil and nuclear solutions are proved to be dangerous and polluting, as well as lead to conflict between producer countries and nations in their basement does not have the raw materials. On the other hand, the oil coming in at very high prices, requires the solution the problem using alternative energy pathways. I really liked what he said long ago, the Nobel laureate Carlo Rubbia in an interview with La Repubblica: "There is no safe nuclear energy, coal is highly polluting and harmful, and only solar energy and wind energy can provide sustainable responses the world's energy problem. " Years ago I read in another newspaper, the great difficulties that we are to find suitable sites for disposal of waste derived from production of nuclear energy. And the many years that must pass to reach that solution (22 thousand years according to Rubbia).

In view of these elements I would hope that in Italy are not nuclear power plants ever built.

Gita in the Maggiolata Sienna

The May 1, 2008 I participated in the trip organized by the Militia of the Immaculata, formed by pious women of the church of Casciavola (PI) which has been parish priest since 1992, Don Nino Drive, which is always a great priest Versilia committed to do good to others, especially the poorest, without distinction of race or skin color. Think to the needy than himself. This priest, born in Plum of Stazzema, when I attend the church seems to me to breathe the air of the land where I was born. Goal of the visit was the town of S. Angelo Cinigiano the border of the provinces of Siena and Grosseto, where there is great house wine "Banfi" that produces the wine "Brunello", famous throughout the world.
Until the Siena train station we arrived on board a bus, then we continued our journey on a steam train, made up of several cars, called the Maggiolata that crossed fertile land with many vineyards. Getting on an old wooden third-class coach was quick to resurface in my mind my first train journey made in 1937 or in 1938 by Querceta Avenza Carrara, when my parents decided to go on a Sunday morning to find Miseglia the family of a sister of my mother who had married a man of that locality.

My father had just returned from Africa North America where he went to work with a team of diggers Seravezza, hired to build the roads of the recently conquered by Mussolini. I can still see the colorful fish that moved in a tank at the center of the square of Carrara and the mule that walked among the olive trees to get home to my aunt.
For many years, starting in 1949, I have traveled on that type of coaches. I remember in particular the puffing steam engines also used by Alta Versilia tramway for transport of passengers and blocks of marble up to the tragic summer of 1944 when the Germans imposed the order of the displaced population, which lasted until the Versilia month Always in September 1944, when fierce battles on earth that begins the realization of Seravezza in particular the mountains and in areas of marine and Cinquale Montignoso that lasted until April 1945. In the Maggiolata get on the train, I saw myself as a child when I stop to admire the Bridge Seravezza these powerful steam engines when stopped in front of the mill Bonci to make the supply of water, guided by two men who appeared before my eyes two real giants. Once in San Angelo

Cinigiano awaited us at the station a fanfare that greeted us playing lively songs. Driven by happiness of these notes we have come to the famous wine cellar "Banfi" where a manager told us that the wine produced from grapes chosen and selected, produced by the cultivation of vines in an area of \u200b\u200b850 hectares. Then he showed us the inside of the plant where I saw large oak barrels, 60 -70 hl and many smaller ones. He described the techniques for elimination, with special machines, less noble substance of the wine we just put in the barrels was immediately sold to buyers from around the world. In that great establishment between endless bottles of wine, barrels and special oak barrels and steel, was to be lost.

lunch, cooked by the women of the local Pro Loco, for all 500 participants in the trip, many also coming from Terni and other places Tuscany, was consummated on large table under a large marquee. Excellent ribollita is that the sausages grilled and very tasty gustose.ed also excellent wine drinking. Once again I thank the president of the Tuscany region of the MI, Mrs. Nara Tani, a resident of Casciavola for organizing this wonderful trip to the Sienna (since I was a child I often heard from my mom say that Siena was the native Italian ) cheered us and the time spent on board the bus playing with great skill Trilussa funny poems, collecting thunderous applause for its scenic artist of great ability ...

ABOUT ... the fall of the fascist regime

I still remember una volta che la fine del regime fascista, avvenuta nel luglio 1943, troncò la mia “carriera” di ragazzo indrottinato, unitamente a tutti bimbi d’Italia, nati negli anni in cui il Duce era al potere, dalla sua politica volta alla formazione dell’Uomo nuovo, cioè completamente fascistizzato sin dalla nascita; infatti non arrivai ad indossare la divisa di avanguardista. All’inizio dell’anno scolastico 1943/1944 l’intera classe II B dell’Avviamento di Seravezza (Lucca) che chi scrive allora frequentava, si rifiutò di iscriversi al ricostituito partito fascista della Repubblica Sociale Italiana, fondata da Benito Mussolini dopo la sua liberazione da Campo Imperatore. Non avemmo bisogno di chiedere the opinion of our parents to reject the calls that were directed by those who still believed in the Duce, was understood only by the fascist regime had eliminated all forms of legitimate opposition to his government, taking away the freedom of the people, until you get to drag our nation into a bloody war on the side of Nazi Germany of Adolf Hitler that caused countless deaths, injuries and piles of rubble.
These memories I have never forgotten.

Albé Bento, the me 'friend since the years of asylum

I can feel 'the need to speak of my' friend Alberto Benti, NE Albé always called, died in late 2006, of which I still have the 'core a vivid memory. Since 1930 and up instance in 1944 when it was ordered by the Germans in the displacement of the inhabitants of Seravezza area, I lived in front of the houses located in the old quarter of the bridge, blown up by the workers dela Todh, commanded by a sergeant of sappers dela Wehrmacht. E 'state' l Mj companion since kindergarten and years dela scòla.Erimo very close. Along with lu, I vuto many friends, among the most expensive memory: Lido Calistri, who died in 1958 after a serious accident at work, Matthew Bonci, Aldo Tessa, Andrea Bandelloni, Pea and Gianfranco Gianfranco Tommasi, yet if the latter four nun staceino of houses at the Bridge. For the mi raga ward the mountains, Erin sites dube you went to giracchià. The river was na Nossa pescina. Andaimo often on the rocks below the trench Crescent dube na sula which we built issavamo 'Nosso the tricolor flag. The playing field was the way to the ball.

remember nela street full of dust, which was close to the mill of Bonci, giocaimo many games often with 'na ball of paper and rags, because they had nun na lira in his pocket to compranne' na vera. Lido Calistri which made 'the quarterback, who held a handkerchief tied sula always apologize before called Caligaris, named after a famous player of Juventus and the national team. When piovea, often with sunrises and other comrades, we met up nela flat dube yet there was next to the chicken coop 'na shed. There, he held 'na small marble sculpture depicting the backdrop of Mount Procinto, carved up by some ancestor. Albe was 'the best of all no', was a tireless driver. One day, while staceimo talking in the living room, dela on homes, visibly happy and proud, pulled from a drawer fora na pictures on Father Donato, gentle man, shy and very good, when he was scattatagli Stacee youths while attached to a parachute to land .

years dela guera where 'n Versilia suffered much from hunger, dawns, more than once, Abbriata the tape on, but good and dear Antonia, kept her in the kitchen to give me some big gràcioli chestnut flour produced from the no sunrises that duvee possessions under Giustagnana, plus a vineyard, yet 'na small forest. While I ate flour quela sembraa d'Ave dela chocolate in the mouth. At summer camp organized dell'utima dale schools in the sports field, the first dela fall of fascism, we visit the Federal dela Fe province of Lucca. This was welcomed by all of us who went to the race meeting, shouting "Viva il Duce Duce ...! Duce! Duce. " It was then that I heard the voice of sunrises and said: "Duce, Duce leads to hunger."

During the fighting that took place between 1944/45, the mountains of Seravezza Albè family who escaped in the first instance in the area of \u200b\u200bCamaiore, returned sòbbre Seravè, nela case of the father on 'but then a s' was never moved. In that space the family of Albè spent all the long lasted seven months in which 'the conflict in Versilia. On the occasion of a meeting that took place in Seravezza Nosso the early '90s, I Albè riccontò facein what the raga com mon and yet the greatest who lived for several months, behind the forehead. They all 'day, yet in bad weather, trasportavino, gannets loaded shoulders, heavy boxes of ammunition and yet from eating canned the most advanced trenches of American soldiers. Partivino from warehouses in Torcicoda, always stationed dube 'na row of them, waiting makes some of them called for transport. He told me the sad story of the transportation of the body of soldier killed in the area try's Bovale following a skirmish with German soldiers. That day he wore a pair of shoes with a rag, rubber sole, battered, as he suffered a strong cold feet caused by trampling mevischio that, a fact that made him want to be able to use the boots of the dead body of the military not to suffer more. Violent reaction was the team leader of the military allies, which had very timidamte expressed his desire. Perhaps this is one of my best stories I wrote about today on the events experienced by Versilia Versilia during the seven months of the war that was fought in Versilia in 1944/45. Fenita the war, these brave raga beam were forgotten, and no certificate of merit, as I have written elsewhere, they were granted for the humble but very important activities, which they carried, which was maintained through constant and regular ' dele the supply of food and ammunition to soldiers Merican. In exchange for those benefits had their harsh only small boxes of frozen meat and / or other food, what they received allowed, however, to these 'youths and their families to survive ale. Yet I remember that I took from a Valventosa Giustagnana, the double beam Giustagnana arive to the black soldiers of the Buffalo Division, du crates of ammunition. Under that weight I felt a strong and continuous pain. Albé testified to me was the wedding. Lu 'more than a friend, it was for me, a brother, as it was yet Calistri Lido.

Now that there is more of a no ', it seems to me belo I think, what a great musician who is the trombone was during his earthly life, with up' tool is now being used up there in the sky, in person, together with angels, the music that accompanies Paradise Omen the souls of the pious and righteous.
