Stones Stories(it)

What drives the small community of Frascaro, near Norcia, to remain tied to a land that never ceases to tremble? What moves its inhabitants to dig with their bare hands in the rubble of a church? A crucifix to be reassembled for the patronal procession, a canvas partly buried under the stones that preserve collective memory and signs of atavistic traditions, become emblems of resilience, proud belonging, defence of a culture that wants to stay alive, challenge to isolation after the earthquake. Not far away, in Campi, a group of restorers work to recover fragments of an invaluable artistic heritage, crumbled by the effects of an implacable nature. At the same time, in total isolation at an altitude of one thousand metres, a monk lives in harmony with God in respect of the ora et labora rule, tirelessly reinforcing his hermitage, not at all frightened by a land he has learned to love.

“Archeology” and “Archive” share the same roots. Both words come from “Arkhé”, the Greek word for “origin”. In the ruins of buildings, lost forever by earthquakes, as in the depth of the archives, we dig. What happened the morning of the big earthquake? The morning of September 19th 1985 is fading away in our memories. These recordings have never been seen. Unedited images of the catastrophe dug out by the archaeological adventure of an archivist that suffered with them. He dug and suffered until he could no longer see.

The Day The Series Stopped(en)

On Oct. 17, 1989, at 5:04 p.m. PT, soon after Al Michaels and Tim McCarver started the ABC telecast for Game 3 of the World Series between the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland Athletics, the ground began to shake beneath Candlestick Park. Even before that moment, this had promised to be a memorable matchup: the first in 33 years between teams from the same metropolitan area, a battle featuring larger-than-life characters and equally colorful fan bases. But after the 6.9 Loma Prieta earthquake rolled through, bringing death and destruction, the Bay Area pulled together, and baseball took a backseat.

One year after the earthquake that devastated Abruzzo, Sangue e Cemento retraces recent causes and remote responsibilities of those who built poorly to save on materials and techniques, of those who had to control but did not, of the administrators who favored speculation at the expense of the safety of citizens, who paid a price of 299 victims.
