The commissioner Rita Mezzetti Panozzi, for the Province of Arezzo, said that the initiative be expected to lie with timing in the draft valley on small museums, focusing on the Tiber Valley and funded by the Ente Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze. Project - said the commissioner - that also fits in the enhancement of local situations, and in that typicality is made in the area of Sestino, as well as art, with rich presence of Chianina cattle farms, which have a 'high concentration to the alp Sasso di Simone. Continuing, he stressed that the moment of crisis if it has decreased, domestic tourism, has seen an increase in the foreign market and that this needs a "brend" Tuscan exceed all parochialism.
Particularly important-meeting - echoed the call, especially on the part of the mayor of Pennabilli, LorenzoValenti, for the establishment of an inter-regional Park of Tuscany, Marche and Emilia-Romagna, enuclei the whole area of the Sassi di Simone and Simoncello, if including the Provincial Reserve managed by the Province of Arezzo.
Investing in culture and cultural heritage, today, is an essential strategy.
The day, however - which was also attended by the President of the Union of Mountain Municipalities, Marcello Minozzi, had two particularly significant moments in the opening of the exhibition of sculptures by Andrea da Montefeltro. The breathtaking location in the ancient crypt of the church of San Pancrazio. The stones, the times, the central pillar that holds up the whole Roman church building in the presbytery, accept it as a treasure chest of the thirty works in stone, oozing manual dexterity as it is perforated matter but mostly they are a kaleidoscope of "visions and theophanies ", ie condensates ancient cultures, and religions of religiosity, where the Bible and Gospel readings are never predictable but philological and theologically profound. An exhibition by "study" more than to see, you might say.
The second event was established by the opening of the photo exhibition "The centenary of the Cross of the Sasso di Simone-100 years of images." The curator, Giancarlo Renzi, framing the event has connected the elements of archeology Sestinate with the events Constantine in 313 AD and with a large figure of archpriest of Sestino, such as that of Fr Damian Olivoni, the soul of the initiative in 1913, along with that of some stone-cutters, as families Marini. But the "Party at the Rock"-he concluded - which will have its day center on August 11, is "memory" to continue objectively as part of the roots of a community, not to live as "immigrants" in their country, and must be the starting point for planning the future. In short, the utopia of Cosimo I, who wanted a City on the Sasso di Simone, is still a utopia to read and update but do not give up, recovering to discuss together, including municipalities, provinces and regions, development projects now quite gutted.
But that, as he said the mayor of Sestino Elbo Donati will be subject of the next meetings scheduled for the Centenary.
