There are many ways of traveling around Italy, I happened to do so by hitchhiking . I devoured the works of the Beat generation walkman and went the Modena City Ramblers, The Doors or Neil Young. A Walkman was a great traveling companion, but it consumed a lot of batteries and consequently was to be used with common sense (but if ever). The hitch, for me, is one of the most fascinating ways to travel. The destination loses importanza e il viaggio acquista una sua dimensione immaginifica.
Tra i miei desiderei maggiori c'è sempre stato quello di viaggiare in moto; è il mezzo che più di altri è sinonimo di libertà. Sarà stata l'influenza di Easy Rider ? Ma una moto mia, che fosse degna di tale definizione, non l'ho mai posseduta e quindi mi sono avventurato per piccoli tratti in sella al mio cinquantino truccato Piaggio Bravo . Aveva un suo fascino.
Perciò,quando mi capita di incontare o leggere di gente che si muove e viaggia in moto ne rimango ammaliato e ciò solletica i miei desideri sopiti.
C'è in giro per l'Italia un certo Marco Giovannelli , giornalista, ... Viterbo of origin, adoption of Varese, a citizen of the world ... that aboard his Vespa going through the Italian peninsula.
In his tour of Italy, the stage is in Basilicata Maratea . Impressed by its size, enchanted by the town, describes the town of Lucania:
-------------------------------- ---------------------------------
"It all ierunu ngoppa, you still in chistora eris then Girun" . Mauro is assigned to the parking lot where you can go to Christ the Redeemer . After a while 'discussing with a guy who does not intend to pay, he loses patience.
«Perché non potrei salire con la macchina? E dove sta scritto che è vietato? Se non mettete i cartelli io vado dove mi pare». Il tipo scende minaccioso dalla sua auto. Dentro sono rimasti due ragazzini che strillano e la madre che prova a farli star zitti.
Mauro gli indica il divieto di accesso e gli spiega che “se tutti salissero su, a quest’ora lui sarebbe in coda sui tornanti”, perciò conviene anche a lui parcheggiare lì e proseguire con il bus navetta.
Il tipo non me vuole sapere di tirar fuori quattro euro, gira e se ne va.
«Nei mesi di luglio e agosto, – mi racconta Mauro – quando l’accesso alle macchine è chiuso, noi gestiamo il parcheggio and transfers to the church. There are days that are also rising four thousand people. "
The Christ Redeemer is one of the highlights of the attractiveness of tourist Maratea. The statue is impressive. Twenty-two meters high, with an arm span of nineteen, stands high on the mountain district of San Biagio, and can also be seen from the sea. At night it is lit and you can go until midnight.
The Christ Redeemer is second in size only to that of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil to reach the top and have built access ramps suspended in space. Once there, the view is unmatched, and you understand why Maratea is a land of sea and mountain . Arriving in the square
and some members of the church, thanks to the speakers outside, they're listening to the mass. Meanwhile, in a residence near there is evidence for an evening of dancing, and so the priest's homily is superimposed on an unlikely disco dance.
Basilicata, once covered the entire coast of Calabria, is the ' only region that will meet again . It has a strip of the Tyrrhenian Sea and another on the Ionian Sea. After the release of the film by Rocco Papaleo, Basilicata coast to coast, (# FriendFeed) in the various places where the story takes a lot of people would come to relive the odyssey of the band had decided to cross to feet the region took ten days instead of two hours required by the highway. We discover a land so rich in sights, history and life.
"The film has made us so much publicity - I always said Mauro, the" dell'ngoppa "the Redeemer - and set off from here, with the shooting of Christ. They could, however, to see other things in our country. They left out the sea that is the most beautiful of Lucania. But now we have become accustomed, for those of the coast have more and more attention. Five years is an arm of the port is split and can not find the money to fix it. As soon as something happens in Metapontino invece intervengono subito».
Sulla bellezza del suo paese Mauro ha ragione. La strada che porta a Maratea da Sapri non te l’aspetti. Dopo chilometri di costiera sorrentina e amalfitana pensavo di aver visto tutta la bellezza possibile del mar Tirreno . Sbagliavo. La discesa verso Maratea incanta per un’acqua blu, verde, limpida, di cui si vede il fondale da decine di metri di altezza. È un mare inaccessibile tranne alcune piccole calette, dove per scendere occorre però scarpinare per bene.
Nel mio giro in vespa Maratea è l’unica tappa in Basilicata. Resto incantato anche dal centro storico, chiamato “il paese delle 44 chiese” . In recent years there has been much turmoil and the village is revitalized. The main street, the square, the streets are a Favor (# flickr) . There was an integration between the shopping, historical activities and new. In the square, proud of his work, there is an old barber shop with her even once. The twenty-three and I'm still working, as if an artist that represents their country. There is a lot of care and are recovering more and more pieces of the old town. Completely closed to traffic, it is a pleasure to see the children run and play calm.
We look forward to its passage in Metapontino.
