MONOPOLI E IL SUO MARE

View gallery (30 photos)

A piece of life in those alleys sent on March 28, 2018 (10:42) by Annamaria Pertosa. 70 comments, 1558 views.

at 24mm, 1/160 f/7.1, ISO 100, hand held. Monopoli (città), Italy.

Questa foto riproduce uno scorcio della mia Monopoli, da me molto frequentata da bambina. Allora era un quartiere del vecchio centro storico, ci abitavano le famiglie con meno possibilità economiche, per la maggior parte, pescatori e gente che lavorava a giornata nelle campagne circostanti. Oggi, tutti questi vicoli e vicoletti, piazze e piazzette, sono state debitamente restaurate, rispettando rigorosamente le vecchie strutture, e quei piccoli garages, spesso depositi di barche, reti, e arnesi del mestiere, sono diventati, negozi di souvenirs o di preziosi oggetti dell'artigianato locale. Quelli più grandi, ristorantini sul mare e pizzerie. Le case, quasi tutte bed and breakfaste, le altre case vacanze, dove spesso, gli ospiti, hanno la fortuna di avere la padrona di casa che gli prepara i pasti. E, infine le poche case, rimaste di proprietà, vengono affittate d'estate e qualcuna anche tutto l'anno ad artisti stranieri, e gente di spettacolo. Insomma il progresso e il turismo hanno portato benessere anche in quei quartieri cosiddetti “poveri”, dove un tempo, chi ci abitava, quasi si vergognava, perché era una denuncia pubblica del proprio stato sociale. Ai miei tempi, su per quella scala che vedete a sinistra della foto, si arrampicavano ragazzini di pochi anni che, sulla testa reggevano delle teglie tonde o rettangolari, piene di focacce, torte, riso, patate e cozze e dolci di ogni tipo, tutti destinate al locale forno cittadino. In paese ce n'erano quattro, ma questo era il più grande. Allora nelle case non c'erano i moderni forni elettrici o a gas, e quindi, per la cottura, toccava rivolgersi ai forni pubblici. Tutte le volte che vado a Monopoli, mi ripercorro questi vicoli, rivedo con gli occhi della mente e della nostalgia, la gente che ci abitava, e se vado a mangiare in uno di quei ristorantini, incontro sempre qualcuno dei ragazzini di allora, qualcuno ha studiato e si è fatto strada nella vita, qualcun altro ha ereditato il mestiere paterno, e due o tre, sono diventati proprietari di quegli antichi depositi attrezzi, oggi diventati icone del “mangiar bene”. Commenti, consigli e critiche sempre super graditi. Grazie.

it's like photographing the past, if the environment has remained similar ...
often it is not so and, returning to the places of childhood, it turns out that they simply no longer exist.
nice glimpse and nice BN

Excellent work this BN and the caption catapults us into a time machine that sums up the history of the place in the time necessary to read, greedily, these few lines written with mastery. Great Annamaria. A salutone, Bal :-D

Ancestral image that leads back to past times full of nostalgia and genuineness. Your caption is a cross-section of history that oozes with never dormant memories and pride of belonging. The origins are never forgotten, they are like the magnet with iron, turn and turn around and then go back on your feet. Dearest Annamaria .... chapeau!
bye gios ;-)
