00:00It is a message of hope and a message of rebirth, because it is true that in this book a tragedy is told, that of the earthquake, but at the same time it offers a perspective of recovery, a perspective of rebirth for territories that are historically part of our history and of the Italian identity.
00:24We must not forget that Italy is made up of some great cities, but it is also and above all made up of the hinterland, of small centers that have been put to the test, unfortunately also with an incessant loss of human lives from a tragedy like that of the earthquake.
00:41Now it is important to try to restart and within this book Guido Castelli, who for many years has been doing an important job on the territory and is doing it for a greater reason with the role of commissioner of the government, tries to propose some ideas, some projects precisely to relaunch the territories affected by that tragedy that was the earthquake.
01:00Today we live an ambientalism, sometimes ideological, which considers man as an enemy, as an adversary of nature, as an adversary of territories.
01:08However, there is no greater area of internal territories, of internal areas, in which it is evident how the presence of man is not important, but it is indispensable to take care of the territory, because where there is a strong depopulation, phenomena occur, for example, connected to hydrogeological depletion, which are dramatic precisely because of the absence of care for the territory by man.
01:30This is why it is important to try to relaunch these territories. At the same time, there is a key word, which is the concept of identity. When a small country, when a village is depopulated and loses inhabitants year after year, it also loses its identity, the stories of families that are passed down from generation to generation.
01:50Therefore, to defend our Italian identity, it is essential that these places are reborn as happened until a few years ago.
