CHIUSI’S CHARACTERS OF MEMORY

The past generations who have lived at the time of the World War 2 and in the 50s and 60s, will recognize the pictures extracted from Sacco’s Archive and from the contributions of many people who experienced in their lives moments of happiness coming from being together, and nowadays this values have been lost. Both Chiusi Città and Chiusi Scalo had a rich concentration of real and interesting characters, nearly coming out of a scene, all sharing the joy of life after twenty years of suffering, deprivation, war and destruction. Unusual lives lived by unusual characters. Every little detail could be the reason for ironic jokes, making fun of their friends without neglecting the overall happiness. Almost a different world compared to today's society and values. Counting them by name one by one would be virtually impossible, but this collection of pictures induces people to remember about joyous and sad moments at the same time. Happiness, when remembering about the vibrant vitality of those people from whom the various initiatives departed, and sadness when thinking of time passing by, when those moments vanished to give way to a world and society that even in a small town like Chiusi has the meaning of the degradation of the human condition in our contemporary society, which we cannot neglect.
