Aldo Bianzino - The Unforgettable

"If this is called justice, ours is not a democratic country" sound more or less like the words of Rudra Bianzino in the video this morning at the headquarters of Hands Off Cain, video included in the "Fabric of silence" and with Ugo De Vita, which will have its official preview again in Rome at the Press Room of the Chamber of Deputies Thursday, December 16 at 18.00 and then at the house of detention of Padua ...

The project as I was for the first chapter, devoted to Stefano Cucchi, consists of a recital, the video in question, and a collection of poetry, but compared to the work on Cucchi, which took place in the form of a monologue, that, as defined by the author, is a dialogue "metaphysical" between father and son.

A story almost forgotten, stored not only by the judiciary, for which there exists the possibility that Aldo "was killed (missing motive)" in the prison hut, where there had been in good health, but is stored in public memory , group show, is the opportunity through the medium of art, theater, theater in this case, civil commitment, to find a way to re-emerge and ask so that justice is done, the real one. Justice is the one that asks Rudra, while framed by a camera again with the memory, its history, the story of a father and a mother disappeared prematurely and without explanation: "Who can be prepared for the death of a loved one ... "says" top "of its 17 years, a few, too few for someone who has seen disappeared early one morning both parents, just for those who have been facing something too big for anyone, just talk ... nevertheless, talks about how he had done before him his mother, Roberta, verbatim, in a recent video taking it, says: "... I never thought to participate in certain programs ...", speaks as Ilaria Cucchi, as Patrick Aldridge , as the mother of Marcello Davide Franceschi Lonzi or speak because they know that the only way to break down that wall of secrecy that still surrounds the prison institution and that, behind those walls, occurs daily.

"... We are our words ..." says Ugo de Vita proposing to present an excerpt of "Textiles of silence" because the problem lies exactly here: "what is common in cases of Cucchi, Bianzino, Aldridge and many others is the culture of silence , ambiguity, silence-just-a forgotten ... "says De Vita, who, with words beyond the bars, a project promoted by Alice in search of theater and supported by Hands Off Cain, quite rightly, Articolo21 and narrow horizons, uses just the "word" in and out of prison. Forms part of the same project planning cycle starts with the prisoners, a few weeks in prison in Padua.

And words can have different uses: There is the poetic word, the word used to denounce the word used in an institutional form of interrogation, the bill ... like the ones discussed in recent years by the Radicals, which always on prisons and on the decriminalization of the use of soft drugs (which is why Aldo was arrested and died in prison) have conducted an almost solitary battle. "In '93-tells Rita Bernardini-to promote a referendum on the non-criminality of the drug, the result was unexpected, the vast majority of Italians expressed support ... during this term and, in addition to numerous parliamentary questions, we have filed a bill for the equalization of possession for personal use and cultivation for personal use, rejected in a bipartisan ... if that proposal had passed, this time Aldo and Robert would still be here with us and we would have fewer inmates in our prisons. "

But perhaps something is moving. For several years now in prison you start, albeit timidly, to speak, inside and outside Parliament, and in recent years, many MPs have decided to visit prisons and see for yourself. Soon, an understatement. "It 's a matter of time," Bernard adds that, on the Bianzino case, however, has no doubts: "Aldo was murdered by the state."

"Ours is not a rule of law," added Sergio D'Elia, chairman of Hands Off Cain, is not justice to a country that has received hundreds of convictions from Europe just in this area and there are 11 million jobs pending ... "

It is not fair, however, he understood, on such delicate topics as "the absence of words" is by those who work there ... with the words in the media, said the hall Cardinalino Luke, author of Hung, reviewed in the pages of this site, and that just opens with the story of Aldo and many obscure points Bianzino never clarified.

To close the conference, finally, an appeal for solidarity which does not face the radical Sergio Rovasio. Rudra now lives with his uncle, returned from Germany after twenty years. They still live in a country house that once belonged to Aldo and Roberta, despite requests made to the local neighboring Umbria-Marche Apennines, was not found a better location to allow the boy to attend school without too much trouble and the only machine available, what should have allowed his uncle Ernesto to go to work, is now destroyed. Currently, the fund also used to buy a subscription is "' 500, while continuing to allow Rudra studies was initiated by a time signature by the friends of Beppe Grillo.
Who knows that Christmas is not a good time to make a real gesture of solidarity ...
The words, in some cases, not enough.
