superriposato I wake up (that are 0.50 and I did not sleep, I usually I have the button) and I say "Ze and a de diez morning, I'm going to do photos par de venice inveze poccarie ago. I Bigsandspoint to launch and navigate to Venetia. Actually I wanted to pass by Franco Filippi, I had a couple of questions after seeing the show on Caneletto and painters ... Who is Franco Filippi? And 'the man who showed me a different perspective Venice, which showed it to me with eyes as a Venetian who loves his city and is aware of the beauty and the value of this city. Venice is a unique example, not only from an architectural point of view, historical or artistic, but mainly from a social point of view, anthropological and cultural, Venice was founded with a spirit and has always fought to keep this .. at least until these things have failed, disappeared, and slowly collapse, and are lost, deaf, the waves of its banks. Franco is a person who does his job with the passion of the researcher, with a passion for history, but above all with the passion ... If you go ask him something about Venice, you will not ever refuse the chat at all! The most amazing thing is that when I was about to buy a book in his library, is the only I said "no lose assa, ze na porseada diver." He works for the passion and love for what he does, not to sell, not for money, not for greed. It 'a Venetian doc, able to tell and to maintain its position on what he says and what he thinks having still if the "spirit" of Venice that made her glorious. His sincerity has left me thrilled every time: he tells you what he knows, he says, accurately, and he knows is the result of research in libraries by books true, do not fuck people, not invented, it sells hot air. He is interested that the reader comes to the truth as documented historical facts, not fairy tales or things that are written just to the money and forward it really, without fear or hide. When I arrived in his library, there are humbly and entered on tiptoe, and he welcomed me with a "dime vecio, Cossa SERCA you go to?" Showing that openness and healthy intellectual typically Venetian. I consider it a rare jewel in Venice, I esteem not only for his knowledge, but for the honesty with which it exposes. It 'was the only one, the only one who carries out a mission, without asking anything, just giving, just, and, unfortunately, still alone. The first time I went there after a good chat for an hour and a half ago-I repeat it was the first time I saw - "The Next time you walk out of here come and get a copy of the DVD that you do, it's a documentary I made for the Japanese. " I could only think "Wow, this man is just amazing." The beauty is that I passed him after a couple of weeks, always buy the books and the copy I had made it really! Incredible, where there are still people like that?
Well, today anyway pace, I make a couple of questions, chatted and then he saw that I Ladyshot my neck makes me "do you take me a couple of pictures of the school of St. Mark, that you have a car Photo better than mine? "and I was delighted to be able to go Venice for the bard of the history of Venice! But you should hear the way he describes things, oozes passion, knowledge becomes a palpable reality and found among what he says and what is there. And once again showed me Venice with new eyes, in awe, full of small symbols and signs that deserve some attention and curiosity to be discovered and enjoyed. He also led the nearby Church of SS. Giovanni e Paolo, enriched by continuous and new places which I considered silly rates.
And in the end makes me a good Venetian, after the lagoon from Virgil, "Now go whether, 'in Bever Ndemo na shadow." That myth of man, myth!
I consider myself very lucky, because it's not every day that rediscover the places where "live" with a person of this knowledge and this culture ... Yes, because he knows many things you and lists them in minute detail and this intensity, you can not resist the charm of history in Venice.
I see it as a rider to the drylands, which fought fiercely against an army of ignorance. Every effort is perhaps its drop in the ocean, but a drop that counts, a drop that does not evaporate. Do not stop your fight Franco, there are people who still believe in you.
Thanks.
