Ostra is, by tradition, a country rich in history and culture. And even today, especially on the initiative of several local associations, you can enjoy during the year of a comprehensive program of recreational and cultural season in drama, Ostra Estate, and more. And generally the amount not be at the expense of quality.
If this positive views you can find a weakness, it is not represented by ' offer, but rather from participation and enjoyment of the initiatives on the part of a public that does not always reward the efforts of organizers .
There is one question, however, that this paper has repeatedly reported, quite anomalous with respect to a framework of cultural value: more than eight years, the public library is always closed and there is no museum in the city and the territory.
has now established the idea that a m Useo should not be a collection parchment of art objects and artifacts of the past. Already exist and are usable in many cities, however small, suggestive reinterpretations and reinventions size of the place in a museum open, distributed, multimedia , modern. It is not just a problem of formal organization and communication ; important is the subject, the content of culture, art, local history that we want to collect, organize, highlight. And if the noble palaces and churches are already precious containers of artwork and furnishings, there is a wealth of material and popular culture, such as that relating to farming and handicraft which could be lost irretrievably . And if the great architectural works , opened and made accessible to all, are capable of telling the past and create taste, sensibility, intelligence in this, that same story remains partial, incomplete without the representation and narrative of the work material that has concretely realized.
One example is the collection of artifacts, tools, a craftsman who designs Ostrense , Mario Verzolini , has put together over a hundred stories of the families of craftsmen who have given fame and prestige to our city. And it is enough to refer the question that most often I have heard: "What will become of all this?".
I believe that our "museum" should be born of a great idea that embraces past, present and future and start moving even small steps at a time, putting together concretely what associations, families and individuals can offer. No "expert titled" alone will draw the path of this "story".
The closure of Bibilioteca City for more than eight years is a very serious. After believing the ads to be opened shortly and having found the other hand, even recently, the state of absolute precariousness of facilities and furnishings, one can not speak of "suspension of public services". Of course it is a cultural service, but no less important for other services, when you consider the objective of promoting a reading culture, as well as knowledge. I am convinced that the suspension is created by the best intentions to redevelop the service, but it is not justifiable that, over many years, certainly marked by difficulties have been provided to equip at least one public reading room , at least provisionally.
What is going to do about the new Administration ? About a year and a half from the his settlement, during which will investigate the problem and has a project that may be small, to be offered to citizens and the short term?.
I make a proposal that can be realized as an initiative provisional until the following day: every family Ostrense presents a book to the library, that ' Administration will make available of citizens in a public hall.
The local associations will not fail to give their collaboration .
