From 6 April onwards I was in L'Aquila, I do not know how many times. Apart from the physical perception of a city absolutely distraught, I felt talking to the inhabitants of a different social climate, renovated and constantly changing dynamics.
On April 6, 2009 in L'Aquila is how the September 11, 2001 in New York. There is a before and after comparison with a date that is a clear line of demarcation. After April 6 is silent as if the many souls Aquila were taken from the disaster force and new life to emerge and finally out into the open.
around the refugee camp have been formed and continue to create new committees of citizens every day. The Aquila wants to be an active part in the process of reconstruction, to contribute to decisions about their future living expenses and to supervise and support both in the reconstruction in the management of fields by the Civil Defence.
Collettivo99 is one such example, an organization capable of coagulating the Aquilani technical skills of many young people who want to take personal responsibility and the burden of rebuilding their city. The objectives are clear: the team considers that it is the duty of the community and Aquila to be master of its own future destiny, rejecting any intervention from rain or designed and manufactured exclusively by external powers and laborers.
The reconstruction of a city can not be separated from its social fabric, particularly by young people that live. Given that The Eagle is a university town, populated mostly by students, this experience is even more strongly. The opposition to the so-called "new town" consisting of prefabricated wooden houses, built in areas distant from urban centers originating arises from this assumption.
