Berlino Novembre 1989, io c'ero. La notizia fece il giro di tutti i notiziari d'Europa, il muro di Berlino costruito dal regime social comunista nel 1989 veniva riaperto. Ero lí avanti alla televisione ed ero incredulo mentre osservavo le immagini delle persone che chi a piedi chi a bordo del loro Trabant, passavano felici la frontiera . Decisi quindi che era un momento storico che non potevo perderlo. All'epoca non ero un grande appassionato della fotografia ma cominciavo ad effettuare qualche scatto. Un rullino di diapositive costava all'epoca circa 10 marchi tedeschi, 10.000 Lire e per l'epoca erano soldi. Detto, fatto. A bordo della mia vecchia Fiat Ritmo mi misi in viaggio direzione Berlino. All'epoca non era come oggi, fra le frontiere europee, bisognava esibire i documenti, alla frontiera della DDR (Deutsche Demokratische Repubblik) ti rilasciavano un documento giornaliero di identità. Sempre se non ti rimandavano indietro. Se protestavi, rimanevi, ma solo in prigione. Durante il "corridoio" autostradale che attraversava la DDR per arrivare a Berlino Ovest, era tutto vietato. Vietato lasciare l'autostrada anche in caso di necessitá, vietato scattare foto del territorio ma particolarmente di ponti e ferrovie, vietato nelle stazioni di servizio parlare con la gente del settore est. Se trasgredivi, non c'era nessun buonista ad aiutarti. Berlino era fredda, grigia e inospitale. Arrivai al muro quando oramai calavano le prime ombre della sera. Lo scatto mi immortala mentre con martello e scalpello che avevo "sequestrato" ad un Inglese pochi secondi prima, mi accingo a rompere un pezzettino di muro. Ero proprio di fronte alla porta di Brandemburgo. I soldati della DDR passavano sul muro mentre i poliziotti della Germania Ovest pattugliavano da sotto. Appena passavano scomparivano martelli e picconi. Quelli lí sul muro avevano il grilletto facile. Appena passati si riascoltavano i picchiettii. Un'atmosfera indescrivibile. Dopo lo scatto ho restituito il tutto :-) L'inglese mi disse : " You're crazy" come se lui non lo fosse da se. Quel pezzettino di muro lo custodisco ancora nella vetrinetta del soggiorno. Un muro, quello di Berlino costruito nel 1961 che fu l'emblema disumano e divise intere famiglie e l'intera città. Ci furono casi in cui i genitori si trovarono da un lato e i neonati dall'altra parte del muro. Dal 13. agosto1961 al 9. Novembre 1989 persero qui la vita ben 140 persone. Non erano persone che volevano entrare per assaporare il regime social comunista, ma erano persone che avendolo assaporato, volevano fuggire da esso. Un grazie particolare va a Papa Giovanni Paolo II che fu uno dei massimi artefici per l'abbattimento di questo muro. I muri comunque non sono da vedere solo in senso negativo. Ci hanno difeso per secoli da violenze e da barbarie provenienti dall'esterno. Oggi dei muri quelli giusti, ne abbiamo ancora bisogno.

I'm only sorry for one thing: that I didn't see this proposal of yours before. Dear friend as I empathize with your words that I read all in one breath. My most vivid memories of my youth are two. This is the fall of a barbaric, horrible totalitarian system, 140 km of human madness. The other, of a different thickness, the landing on the Moon on 20.07.1969. Finally, I bow to those who, like you Rinaldo, did not take to the streets to scalloth insulting or circumstance slogans, but materially participated and witnessed at the dawn of the collapse of the communist system. Chapeau Rinaldo.
bye gios ;-)
