Elena Costa is a writer from Pescara, Abruzzo, Italy.
Terremoto: Un libro per non dimenticare… perché c’è ancora bisogno di tanto aiuto.
“Oltre 200 foto e 40 testimonianze raccontano il dramma vissuto dalle popolazioni colpite
dal sisma che sarà ricordato come uno dei più violenti in Italia”
Devastazione ovunque, visi segnati dall’orrore vissuto, mezzi militari ad ogni angolo, volon-
tari, tendopoli, bagni chimici, chi ha avuto modo di “visitare” L’Aquila e i paesi limitrofi nei
primissimi giorni successivi al terremoto, ha impresso nella propria memoria tutto ciò: uno
vero e proprio territorio in assetto di guerra. L’organizzazione e la tempistica dei soccorsi è
stata eccellente. Mai come in questo terremoto la popolazione italiana e lo Stato si sono or-
ganizzati a livello di volontariato in questo modo. L’Aquila, città capoluogo di regione nel
cuore dell’Italia, simbolo monumentale, è andata distrutta in gran parte, insieme a molti
altri paesi della sua provincia. Questo sisma ha colpito profondamente il cuore degli italiani
tutti. E’ stato questo il disastro caratterizzato fondamentalmente dalla grande dignità
umana degli aquilani, della massiccia presenza delle istituzioni e soprattutto della dinamica
e sostanziale attività di tutte le forme volontaristiche e non, corse a prestare il loro aiuto.
Ancora oggi sono migliaia le persone sistemate nelle strutture ricettive sulla costa abruzzese, altre nelle tendopoli. Molte
famiglie sono rientrate a casa anche se le scosse continuano. La ripresa della città è graduale ma costante. Il Presidente della
Provincia Stefania Pezzopane, anche lei sfollata, ai nostri microfoni ha definito questo terremoto, che lei chiama ”l’urlo vio-
lento di un orco”: «Un evento drammatico, indimenticabile, una tragedia enorme che ha distrutto vite umane, case e posti di
lavoro. Un tragedia che però noi vogliamo lasciarci alle spalle, perché la nostra voglia di ricostruire vale sopra ogni cosa».
Tornare a L’Aquila in questi giorni significa vederla pian piano rinascere, guardare
all’opera le imprese che hanno l’arduo compito di ricostruirla. Migliaia di operai
lavorano oltre otto ore al giorno per poter consegnare “entro settembre” piccoli ap-
partamenti alle famiglie aquilane. I primi a rientrare saranno gli anziani e i nuclei
familiari composti da giovani ragazzi che dovranno tornare a scuola. Come riferisce
il Direttore Guido Bertolaso: «Si sta facendo il possibile e non c’è iniziativa che non
sia finalizzata a risolvere tutte le priorità. E’ necessario – continua – non lasciare
nulla di intentato e di imparare tutto quello che è possibile da quest’esperienza così
che tragedie di questo genere non accadano più». Subito dopo il terremoto mi sono
attivata per raccontare la storia di questa catastrofe e ne è nato un libro: “L’Aquila
06-04-09 il catastrofico terremoto delle 3:32” concepito non solo per raccontarvi
quello che le persone hanno provato e vissuto sulla loro pelle quella notte ma anche
per capirli più da vicino. Con una veste grafica sobria, il volume raccoglie oltre 40
testimonianze e tantissime illustrazioni fotografiche dei momenti più rilevanti. Una
raccolta nata da un’idea, del produttore televisivo e direttore editoriale della nostra
testata, Pino Costa. Oltre due mesi di lavoro intenso, in giro per l’Abruzzo che mi
hanno fatto conoscere personalmente gli aquilani.

From San Remo to Milan, via central Italy, the Dolomites and the Alps
The 2015 Giro d'Italia begins with a 17.6km team time trial along a spectacular coastal bike path from San Lorenzo al Mare (at the foot of the Cir-
pressa climb) to San Remo on Saturday, May 9. It will end three weeks later on Sunday, May 31 with a 185km road stage from Turin to Milan and
seven laps of a city centre circuit. The riders will race for 3481km during the three weeks, for an average of 165km a day. The six mountain finishes
stand out like shark teeth on the route profile but the early stages to Sestri Levante and La Spezia, stage nine to San Giorgio del Sannio and stage 18
to Verbania also have lots of bite and should not be ignored. Monte Ologno rises from the shores of Lago Maggiore for 10km at an average of nine
per cent and is followed by a hair-raising descent back to Verbania. It would be perfect for a late attack from Vincenzo Nibali if he can convince the
Astana team to let him ride. There are only 76.8km of time trialing but with the opening team time trial only 17.6km long. That means the Treviso-
Valdobbiadene individual time trial is a whopping 59.2km, one of the longest seen in the Giro d’Italia for several years. The mixed profile of flat
roads and then rolling roads in the Prosecco vineyards will make it even harder for the Grand Tour contenders and no doubt open some significant
time gaps.

USO DELLE AUTO BLU: REGIONE RECEPISCE D.P.C.M. DI RENZI
(Regflash) L'Aquila, 24 apr - La possibilità di riutilizzare le cosiddette auto blu della Regione Abruzzo per gli utilizzi istituzionali di presidente e
assessori, non è da considerarsi un privilegio, ma una modifica del precedente disciplinare. La Regione Abruzzo, infatti, ha recepito il decreto
del presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri (del 25 settembre 2014) con un provvedimento licenziato dalla prima commissione consiliare e varato
con il voto dei componenti di tutte le forze politiche. Nel vecchio regolamento, approvato dalla precedente Giunta, non era prevista la possi-
bilità per i presidenti del Consiglio e della Giunta, nonché per gli assessori, di essere accompagnati alle loro abitazioni con le autovetture di
servizio regionali. La limitazione era nata dall'interpretazione restrittiva del decreto del presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri dell'agosto 2011
nella quale, per porre limite a ripetuti abusi, si stabiliva che l'uso dell'autovettura di rappresentanza fosse "concesso limitatamente alla durata
dell'incarico e per sole esigenze di servizio del titolare, ivi compreso gli spostamenti 'verso' e 'da' i luoghi di lavoro". Viste, però, le diverse e
discordanti letture fatte dalle Regioni italiane, il decreto del 25 settembre 2014 a firma del premier Renzi ha fatto chiarezza su che cosa vada
inteso con quel verso e da. Il nuovo testo, infatti, stabilisce che l'utilizzo delle autovetture di servizio a uso di dirigenti e funzionari per esigenze
di servizio non prevede spostamenti tra l'abitazione e i luoghi di lavoro. Di conseguenza, le autovetture a uso esclusivo, ovvero per i compo-
nenti del governo nazionale e del governo regionale, possono prevedere spostamenti tra l'abitazione e i luoghi di lavoro. Il 1° aprile scorso,
la prima commissione consiliare Bilancio, affari generali e istituzionali ha approvato in sede deliberante una proposta di nuovo
regolamento. Nel nuovo regolamento si legge che "negli spostamenti consentiti è compreso anche il tragitto dal luogo di resi-

REGIONE:EXPO,SUCCESSO A MILANO PER IL MARCHIO ABRUZZO
(REGFLASH) Pescara, 24 apr. L'Abruzzo delle eccellenze si è mostrato a Milano, ieri sera, nella splendida cornice di
Palazzo Giureconsulti, per l'Anteprima Expo Abruzzo. Si è svolta una conferenza stampa illustrativa, alla quale hanno
partecipato oltre 40 giornalisti di prestigiose testate nazionali di settore. Numerose le domande rivolte al presidente
della Giunta regionale, Luciano D'Alfonso, e al sottosegretario alla Presidenza della Giunta regionale, Camillo D'Ales-
sandro, sul palinsesto ispirato alla biodiversità e giudicato dai giornalisti interessante, soprattutto per il progetto
Abruzzo Terra dei Cuochi. Tra gli ospiti d'onore il questore di Milano, Luigi Savina, che ha rimarcato con orgoglio la
sua "abruzzesità". La scuola del gusto dei Gal ha condotto gli ospiti in una degustazione guidata di prodotti enogastro-
nomici e di vini abruzzesi. Le musiche di Tosti, le poesie di D'Annunzio hanno "aggiunto fascino ad una serata che è
riuscita a rappresentare la cultura, l'anima, la qualità, il gusto di una regione che, seguendo questa strada, saprà
meravigliare come mai in precedenza, coniugando storia e passione alla modernità". (REGFLASH) US150424Dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the Abruzzo Culture
