A wind, a tale
Eight stories for so many winds of Rosa
We discuss twenty-Tuesday, January 18, 2011,, at 21 in Rimini Sailing Club.
will present eight short stories for many twenty Italians, with some basic digression Romagna, from hot, gusty, "lunatic" Garbin.
Knowing the winds for the sailor is important, that of yesterday and one today, embarked on massive steel vessels or rickety wooden hulls. Becomes essential then the study and practice of twenty a sailor on the scale sports, cruise or vagabond. The winds have a direction, intensity, temporality, but also have special features related to the geography of places, individual and collective experiences. The winds have colors and smells, hues and fragrances. That is ancient history in the Mediterranean are the subjects of an equally varied and fascinating mythology and literature, from Aeolus' guardian of the winds. "
Some of these stories I have published in the monthly water Bolina (in the current issue you will find "Sun"), short, light-hearted, sailing narratives of myths, legends and stories, between distant, real or alleged, origins of words in Italian we say of the winds. Those going through a lot of Italian poetry of the twentieth century are the same opera sung by the Greeks who remain inseparable, in the background of the great Mediterranean tradition. So every time you let go of the mooring or harbor launches from the beach, hoisting a sail is joined, either consciously or unconsciously, of an ancient world, renewed a ritual of communion with the wind, entering nell'anemos the Mediterranean.
