MONOPOLI E IL SUO MARE

A piece of life in those alleys sent on March 28, 2018 (10:42) by Annamaria Pertosa. 70 comments, 1511 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.

Nice view in a nice bn. Remember the postcards of other times thanks to the presence of the white frame. The memory of your childhood is the real thread that leads us to live the moments when the neighborhood was frequented by fishermen and life, perhaps the poorest was - I think - simpler and more genuine than that of our days.
Congratulations Annamaria.
Marco

You represented a beautiful and distant story, "I see through the eyes of the mind and nostalgia," the eyes of the mind are the most beautiful memories dear Annamaria, who never abandon us, and at certain times, help us overcome small moments of solid daily, however, you have made a beautiful glimpse of landscape history ,, with excellent light ,, and perfect shooting point ,, COMPLIMENTS.
Antonio.

Very beautiful, beyond the call of the earth which is also mine. The beautiful b / w "different" from the "usual" one that often could have excessive contrast.

Hello Annamaria congratulations for this photo, managed as usual impeccably. Image that tells a story of sacrifice and life of other times. A photo enriched by a caption that tells a story in the story.
Compliments. Simone

An exceptional image brings to mind the old plates of the Alinari, you really stole the soul at the location and gave it to us, with an excellent caption.
Big kisses
