Sustainable Development Scenarios for the Salento.
Environment, health, ecology and energy
Fund Verri, Via S. Maria del Paradiso 4, Lecce
Forum "Salento 2010: possible convergences" which was held last March 19 at Officine Cantelmo Lecce involving public institutions and private individuals, cultural workers, committees, associations, newspapers, and salting, in an interesting discussion of what stirs in the territory, to listen and hypotheses propose projects that can make "big" Salento.
The objectives of the forum, "network" to facilitate development, innovation, research, economic growth, and communication. But not only has tried to help find solutions that can make the most of some of the resources typical of the Salento, as are those of farmers, and give a little stimulus to the creation of an induced culture creation and economic growth prospects and a sustainable future.
It should be noted that some administrations salting, as well as the bodies responsible for energy, environment and beyond, of the Apulian regional government are investing directly, or by encouraging private investment in the development of wind, solar and other types characterized by significant environmental effects. This is in many cases, plants that are incompatible with the total area of \u200b\u200bSalento is highlighted in the same landscape plan of the Region Puglia: PPTR recently approved by the Regional Board. It so happens that, because of the misinformation prevalent, but also contribute to climate alarmism which often also the media, is generated in the citizens a concern sometimes justified, sometimes not, and you may lose important opportunities for growth.
emerges as the need to address the complex and broad issue of territory, in all its aspects: the environmental planning, tourism, landscape, marine works, the energy. In a word, the "Development", in all its meanings. A topic that we know about the area very closely, as it is rich in raw materials (sun, wind, residual products of agriculture), but above all the citizens, because it directly involves their present, but also their future and that of their children. Why certain choices, including those relating to energy, by their nature capable of subverting so invasive and lasting attitude of an entire area can not be left solely to the game of politics and / or private interests. That's why we believe it essential to promote a public discussion expanded to all social forces, so that those same choices as possible to be shared and sustained. This, therefore, the aim of the meeting scheduled for September 24th Fund Verri di Lecce. So in one meeting, a number of public and private, will address the hot topics of environmental issues in Salento. Acceded the first section:

Presentazione dei volumi
Il Vento e le Pietre di Dario Stornati (Lupo editore)
Dario Stomati è un neurologo di Mesagne, che has little to do with history, in fact, with the pre-history, and certainly not with stones, megaliths and archeological finds. Yet he is the narrator of this trip between the megaliths of Salento and the culture that produced them. The book he wrote - among the many medical and scientific publications - is the wind and stones, published by Wolf (pp. 181, € 15), published in 2010.
This book stands as a path of stones, peoples and territories. What drives this process is the wind equivalent of the author's curiosity and passion for the "great stones." Following traces of enormous size, he finds evidence in all megalithic Salento Signs of a single past culture, whose borders go far beyond the tip of the peninsula. This culture is defined as "proprioeuropea" because it embraced the people of the Mediterranean, France, the European peoples who lived on the coast overlooking the Atlantic, expanding to Romania and the Middle East. This culture is the one that preceded the Indo-European culture, it completely replaced, but the culture is also charged with leaving a mark of its passage is not indifferent, the megaliths. One extreme, the last outpost of "proprioeuropei" are the Cretan, assumptions not fully accredited and supported by the author, who prefers to see dolmens and menhirs dellantichità a romantic mystery, a question still open on the past.
The section of books on the stones is certainly not comprehensive, nor brings a lot of titles and authors. Then, it is noticeable that there is no news to that effect, in an area of \u200b\u200bnature so still. Of course, you must have passion and desire to be of interest to such a problem atavistic. There are those who glimpsed in these fascinating prehistoric structures ever, due to the absence of plausible explanations as well as the plastic beauty of silent stone, which stands calm and quiet, for example, in the countryside of Salento, rather than in Normandy France. These monuments (dedicated to nature? the divine? the loneliness of those who erected them?) create one side questions about possible cultural links Tufted, and second place introspective questions, and also, of course, cause the outbreak of doubts and assumptions about history. The search for Stoma proves accurate, detailed and complex because it crosses many rightly sciences: archeology, ethnography and anthropology. Raises several questions, with no definite answers, we turn finally to the certainty that only the wind for thousands of years to scratch the stones in the same way. Riviera Scattarella
The return pulse Marcello Costantini (Wolf ed)
This is a special kind of yellow, or that of archaeological, through a rich collection of narratives and stories drawn from specific sources, using their own methods of analysis from research in this area, the generosity of quotations never to tire as the whole is built, you do enjoy the pleasure of a reading made of plots ranging from the investigation of Roca and tradition, a mysterious archaeologist "fake mexican" Pallares (curious and well-educated) involved in an unusual murder whose stories revolve around the University of Salento, Maria d'Enghien and its proximity to tarantismo psychotic and mystical saint of spiders (St. Paul Galatina), and even the Normans, the civilization of Messapi linked to the worship of a god unknown, and yet a number of suggestions that they speak face to face as a country salentini Galatina, Scorrano, Roca, Specchiulla, Porto Badisco until arriving in Stockholm, Paris and Lisbon. A book that helps to lay bare the b-side of the extreme heel of Italy, following an intricate path that leads from primitive rites and queens tarantate''''holy Ambiguous and arrogant.
