(ANSA) - TRIESTE, 11 GEN - "The Mediterranean is not just
geography," "Atlantic and Pacific are the seas of distances, the
Mediterranean is the sea of proximity; the Adriatic the sea of
intimacy." These are passages read by writer and "wayfarer"
Luigi Nacci, from 'Mediterranean Breviary,' by the great writer
and intellectual Predrag Matvejevic, the protagonist of today's
stage of 'I'll bring you a book,' a video project of the Eastern
Adriatic Sea Port System Authority in collaboration with
Fondazione Pordenonelegge. The initiative is designed to allow
people to appreciate even virtually some of the most beautiful
pages dedicated to the sea, with images shot in the port of
Trieste.
"Mediterraneanity is not inherited but achieved, it is a
decision not an advantage," read Nacci, explaining in the
few-minute video that "Breviary"-by the writer from Mostar then
wandering in Europe when "the Taliban" sparked the war in the
Balkans-is "a book that speaks profoundly about Europe,
especially about what unites us. It is a huge, endless catalog."
A book that spreads, like Matvejevic's own life, a
"Mediterranean humanism."
The Nacci-Matvejevic video was broadcast on the social and
YouTube channels of the Port of Trieste and pordenonelegge. The
set was the backport and industrial hub of the Julian port of
call, between the Bagnoli della Rosandra area and the navigable
channel. The video, together with the one that preceded it by
journalist Cristina Battocletti (who read Pier Antonio
Quarantotti Gambini) will enrich a sort of "digital library"
dedicated to the literature of the sea, which already counts on
video stories by Pino Roveredo, Federica Manzon, Veit Heinichen,
Paolo Rumiz, Pietro Spirito and Mary B. Tolusso. (ANSA).
