Milestone of Italian cinema, the film was written, directed, edited and produced by Ermanno Olmi, a work in which autobiographical and collective memory merge and the family history of small communities meets the history of Italy. It is the most exciting and passionate fresco of the peasant civilization of post-war cinema. Here, in the Bergamo countryside of the late nineteenth century, the daily life of the farmers and the nature that surrounds them is expressed through the magical lyricism of simplicity. Following, “Il posto”, the second work in which the director shows the changes in Italy during the economic boom by addressing the theme of work and the conflict between city and countryside, seen through the eyes of a young man in search of his “place” in the world, in Milan, at the beginning of the 1960s. “My first films – recalled Olmi – are stories about poverty but in which there is always a bit of the history of our country. The transition from peasant to worker societies, or from these to the new bourgeoisie. Nor is “Il Posto” clearly seen in Domenico’s house, a farmhouse where the land is no longer worked and has become only a dormitory for people who go to work in the factory and in the city. little in those stables without any more animals they would have put the Lambrettas and the Seicento “.

But the Mare Nostrum was also the cradle of fundamental civilizations in the history of humanity and crossed for millennia by boats of all sizes, which, however, still has secret corners and places of great charm that are little known. Places and stories told by “Linea Blu” – the program hosted by Donatella Bianchi broadcast tomorrow at 2 pm on Rai1 – which will also show how this sea is a treasure trove of biodiversity. In fact, 7.5 percent of the world’s species live here, with a density per area about ten times higher than the planet’s average. From large groupers, under the sea, to diomedee, shearwaters, above the sea: birds that have fueled mythology for millennia. Furthermore, the Mediterranean basin is a densely populated area: today over 500 million people live in the 22 countries bordering this sea, many more than those who live in the United States or South America. Yet, in this “small” closed sea, where civilization runs and man is always looking for new spaces, there are those who have managed to find their own corner of paradise, in contact with a wild nature and not very far from its appearance. primordial. Like every Saturday, to accompany Donatella Bianchi on her journey, there will be Fabio Gallo. The broadcast “Prima Fila”, a cultural weekly of Radio1 conducted by Miriam Mauti, tomorrow at 12.30, will open the episode with the story of Fiorella Mannoia’s summer tour . The Roman singer is on tour in festivals and squares throughout Italy to present some songs from her latest album, “Padroni di niente”, and the most popular songs from her repertoire. The interview is by Timisoara Pinto. Tullio Solenghi celebrates 50 years of career and in an interview with Antonella Chini, he will take stock of his artistic life: from classical theater to cabaret, the birth of the legendary trio, the death of Anna Marchesini and the new challenges, also paired with Massimo Lopez, with whom he will return to Rai 3 in the autumn. Finally, Procida, which after Parma, will be the Italian capital of culture in 2022. The small island in the Gulf of Naples beat the other 9 candidate locations in the final, with a project that focuses on young people and sustainability. The story is by Federico Pietranera. Birds that cannot fly, arboreal kangaroos, vegetarian dragons: on the most remote islands of the Pacific Ocean, animals have evolved in the most bizarre ways and have been able to survive for thousands of years in peace and harmony. Then, man arrived, who brought with him other animals, perhaps innocent domestic species, and the balance of even an efficient ecosystem was cracked. The story is told by “South Pacific”, broadcast tomorrow at 2.00 pm on Rai5. Unable to resist the invasion because accustomed to living in an environment that did not include predators, the native animals have therefore left the field free to the newcomers and the mildest of the Australian possums caused incalculable damage, while a lighthouse keeper’s cat exterminated a wingless bird species already at risk of extinction. The future of much of the biodiversity of the South Seas is more in our hands than ever.
