bullet holes


Lebanon and 'a country riddled with bullets.
punching walls and billboards, are imprinted in the cement of the buildings destroyed in the collective memory of a nation divided.
The bullets of Lebanon through the present, past and future, and the holes are leaving windows open to the and that 'state, so as to anything that might still be.
Beirut 'a city' under construction, a Sim City-style site where he pretends to European and Middle East the place in which we build becomes less important than what is being built.
roaring sports cars whizzing along the seafront Corniche, girls wrapped in tight colorful sheath dresses show off latest model mobile phones and nail enamel, fluorescent stickers hail the different identities' religion of the country appear a bit 'on each polished surface of the city', image in a war without winners involving Hezbollah leader, political Maronites, Druze militant and even Jesus'.
This thin strip of land between Syria and Israel, only growing segment of the Middle East not to have a climate and a desert landscape, has more 'souls of those who would like, do not end up owning nothing. It 'a country of verbs in the future, groups divided according to religious minorities who consider each other, whose only non-identity' shared 'the two being not like the others Arabs but not enough Europe.
E 'applied to a chaotic Middle East Western symbols, a confusing mix without acquiring the antique charm of the unknown world.
In a building under construction and another, I get close to a skeleton of high concrete two hundred meters, which makes no secret of being the scene of several hunts sniper: the shells studded with irregular constellation of holes, sometimes joined together by surface cracks.
approaches the eye wall, and look into our present, past and future.
In the first there 'even Syria, which surprises us in growing the monastery of Mar Musa and multi-faith' unfortunately proved to be a place of spirituality 'very "marketable" for tourism, but the impressive norias Hama ( wooden wheels on the Orontes River up to twenty meters high that trigger mechanisms for the collection of water on ancient aqueducts external) as well as the indestructible walls of Krak des Chevaliers (simply Crusader Castle for excellence, preserved as if it had never been abandoned and perched on a picturesque hillside isolated) have largely kept their promises.
as they have proved unforgettable Roman ruins of Apamea alone (a city 'and the thistle which' remained almost entirely built by creating an avenue of columns in the middle of un'altopiano windswept), and the Bride of the Desert , Palmyra. This deserves its fame, presenting a stunning monumental ensemble to better appreciate the hill above it, and where the Arabs built a defensive fort, right in the Syrian desert.
From Aleppo, with its impressive citadel which stands in the middle raised the suq aromas peculiar (the typical product of the city 'and' the soap with olive oil, which permeates the entire market of her fragrances), we then moved to Beirut, where I live for the past four days.
in Lebanon have paid tribute to Khalil Gibran, visited the grave in the beautiful valley of Kadisha (Maronite stronghold at the time of civil war) and we caught his breath through the picturesque streets in colored stone of the port of Byblos (one of the city 'more' of the ancient world, where the Phoenicians invented the alphabet). The next day they spend in the massive columns of the immense Phoenician temple of Baal at Baalbek (Shiite stronghold in the days of the civil war), and probably focusing a quick visit to the city 'of Tyre (UNIFIL is still protected), not forgetting the bubbly nightlife of Beirut.
The future is about to return home, collection of images and transforming them into beautiful memories. It also speaks of an internship that does not know yet where he will 'place, but certainly in its defined land' account of the thousand doubts that a trip in the Middle East generates nomadic careful.
's time to go, the eye deviates from the hole in the wall. Past, present and future are mixed together for a few moments my thoughts, before resuming their rightful place.
As Kafka argued, the future is imagined leaving him sleep as long as does not reach its time: if you wake up too early, you get a present sleepy.

DAMASCUS!

Children play on the marble courtyard of the interminable, chase and hide behind the columns supporting the dome of the transept of the Treasury.
Someone asleep enjoying the shade, while an endless series of little women bundled up through the columns headed towards the entrance topped by a golden mosaics of the most 'impressive ever made.
then striking the four and a half, and muezzin calls al rispetto della sacralita' del luogo : la meravigliosa Moschea degli Ommayadi di Damasco acquista un'atmosfera trascendente,e la calda umanita' che la popola si fonde con la spiritualita' che la pervade.
Al suo interno,seduto su uno dei tappeti mentre Vanni e' da qualche parte a realizzare i suoi schizzi da viaggiatore ottocentesco sul Moleskine, ripercorro gli ultimi giorni di un viaggio cosi intenso da poter essere immaginato soltanto in Medio Oriente.
E inizio pensando alla Giordania,che gia' ora sembra cosi distante. Una terra tanto ospitale da farmici sentire a casa, con volti e storie a dare un'anima a luoghi che grazie ad essi perdono l'anonimato da cartolina.
Il ricordo della famiglia beduina di Tyseer si associa alle stelle d'Arabia sotto le quali abbiamo dormito, ammirandole dal tetto di casa loro dopo una giornata passata a sorseggiare the e ad ascoltare i racconti del deserto.
Il Wadi Rum e' una stupenda distesa di sabbie multicolori dove l'eco si perde tra le rocce scolpite dal vento, ma sarebbe valsa la meta' senza l'incredibile esperienza di condividere la quotidianita' con la famiglia dello Sheikh del villaggio beduino di Rum.
Il canto del cigno della Giordania e' stato pero' la visita del sito archeologico di Jerash, antica perla tra le decapoli romane, una lezione di urbanistica imperiale dal fascino innegabile in quanto ancora ottimamente conservata.
Col Mago of who knows what to leave without knowing what it is we then arranged to cross the border in taxi, and passed the slaughterhouse by endless rows of the border we are finally gone into Syria, while Lori and my mother were returning to the beautiful country saturated of emotions.
To welcome was the real Middle East was Damascus.
The more capital 'of the ancient world is in chaos as Amman is the cultural contamination: the perpetual motion that drives the souks and the unique olfactory experience of those who decide to get lost (there are spices that we humans can not even imagine) , the caravanserai and majestic eighteenth century buildings that open in the middle, revealing open spaces unimaginable from the outside, elegant houses with windows cantilevered Christian neighborhood are just some of the aspects that make the general disorder of this city 'extremely fascinating.
The Syrian people are friendly but reserved, not open and smiling like the Jordanians: it must indeed be remembered that this is basically a country still at war, with fluctuating relations with the West (and 'for years been included in the list of Pentagon rogue countries, and stubbornly continues to obscure some U.S. sites).
and to remind us 'was the hike in the Golan Heights, where the town' destroyed Quneitra of upsets for the eerie silence that lingers among the ruins, witnesses unchanged dell'insensata aggressiveness' of Israeli soldiers in the war of October 1973.
surrounded by minefields, the closest 'ghost' a city in name only, and the hospital riddled with bullets stands to witness the brutality 'of this ongoing conflict.
The thought then flies to Bosra and its theater in the beautifully preserved black basalt, regenerative and hammam in fourteenth-century Turkish baths of the city 'Old Damascus, before gliding slowly to Syria tomorrow.
multiconfessional The monastery of Mar Musa, the crusader castle Krak des Chevaliers and Palmyra - Queen of the Desert - are ready to be discovered, but already today ' i ricordi si sovrappongono l'un l'altro presi dal terrore dell'oblio.
Non sono i quarantacinque gradi fissi damasceni, ne' le abbondanti colazioni siriane a base di legumi e aglio a scompigliarli: e' semplicemente un angolo di mondo tanto denso di storia (e di storie) da pretendere tutta la nostra attenzione, e noi lo stiamo assaporando a porzioni generose.
Continueremo a nutrirci avidi e a raccontarlo, inshallah.
