Cuori in campo
Stralci, aforismi, haiku e lettere dal sisma

Poiché l’angoscia di ciascuno è la nostra, ancora riviviamo la tua, fanciulla scarna
che ti sei stretta convulsamente a tua madre quasi volessi ripenetrare in lei
quando al meriggio il cielo si è fatto nero. […] Potenti della terra padroni di nuovi veleni,
tristi costudi segreti del tuono definitivo, ci bastano d’assai le afflizioni donate dal cielo.
Prima di premere il dito, fermatevi e considerate.
Primo Levi, La bambina di Pompei

Una circolare ministeriale
Questo lavoro nasce dalla fusione di più intenti e di più suggestioni, personali e collettive, che ci hanno sensibilizzato e ci hanno motivato alla realizzazione di questa piccola raccolta poetica. Di fronte al dramma del 24 agosto 2016, le nostre coscienze si sono forse risvegliate: ma come fare a tradurre questa presa di posizione sentita nei confronti della disperazione? Come fare a tradurre in pratica, uno sforzo collettivo immediato, ma che, inesorabilmente, tenderà a scemare? Innanzitutto le radici profonde di questo lavoro risalgono alle immagini di dolore che non si arrende degli abitanti di Amatrice e dei paesi colpiti dal sisma. Non ci si abitua mai a tali istantanee, a tali scorci graffianti, ma mai supini, nei confronti della terra e del destino. La seconda nasce dalla lettura di alcune epistolae di Plinio il Giovane, narranti la morte di suo zio (Plinio il Vecchio) e primo naturalista della storia, in conseguenza all’eruzione del Vesuvio, con terremoto successivo che ha raso al suolo città come Ercolano e Pompei. La terribile coincidenza: proprio questo cataclisma avvenne il 24 agosto 79, quasi duemila anni prima di quella attuale (24 agosto 2016). Sembra che l’uomo non impari mai. La soluzione di impegno sociale è stata offerta da una circolare ministeriale, tanto meravigliosa, quanto rara, più precisamente quella emanata il 9 settembre 2016 che portava come titolo-vessillo l’augurio di ogni docente: Ripartiamo dalla scuola. Per una volta, il MIUR ci è sembrato concreto e positivo nell’affrontare la crisi e la forza della natura, senza inabissarsi in cadici e burocrazia da leguleio senza cuore, un castello kafkiano che sembra insuperabile, almeno per il caso italiano. E allora le coscienze si sono tradotte in questa raccolta poetica, i cui proventi vorrebbero essere versati per portare aiuti ai terremotati. Quanto vero quel monito di Primo Levi che inneggiava alla memoria: “Per non dimenticare…” e quanto fa stare bene, ricordare. Questa raccolta esprime il desiderio di farsi vita nonostante la morte, di valorizzare una crescita spirituale, anche dovuta alla lettura di alcuni romanzi di formazione di Paolo Coelho, per apprenderne la leggerezza scrittoria, che nasconde un’attenzione continua al problema della formazione. In un’epoca di selfie senza soluzione di continuità, di società liquide e facebookiane si è cercato di mettere in primo piano un momento, uno scorcio, un attimo di bellezza, sfruttando l’opportunità dell’ambito Cittadinanza e costituzione. Le richieste ministeriali ed europee
5
impongono come primo obbligo morale, quello di creare dei buoni cittadini, che si impegnino vicendevolmente, con solidarietà e responsabilità, per un futuro migliore e più sostenibile. Non è competenza facile da sviluppare, ma ci si è messi in gioco per accrescerla, così come si è cercato di sviluppare altre e più specifiche competenze disciplinari, quali la comprensione del testo e la produzione scritta, per imitationem del modello coelhano. Comprensione del testo, perché lo stile dell’aforisma (Manuale del guerriero della luce ne è un fulgido esempio) e il tema della formazione personale e spirituale sono al centro dei romanzi dell’autore brasiliano. Produzione scritta, perché i ragazzi si sono cimentati nella scrittura di alcuni haiku e aforismi che ricordino il sisma, nonché di lettere in lingua inglese indirizzate a ipotetici ragazzi sopravvissuti al sisma. Eh sì, non è scontato: a seguito di una chiamata telefonica personalmente effettuata all’unità di crisi del ministero, il collega di italiano e di latino di Amatrice mi ricordava l’ormai abbondante presenza di grembiuli e materiale scolastico, “forse troppi per i bambini rimasti”, ma mancano i buoni pasti per i bambini della scuola dell’infanzia. L’abisso e un tuffo al cuore: quanto scontatamente trattiamo la vita…. Un ringraziamento particolare vanno alle insegnanti preziose di scienze Federica Borasi e di inglese Cristina Melchiorre per la collaborazione e per l’impegno che hanno profuso in questa piccola grande impresa e ai ragazzi, piccoli compagni di viaggio di questa breve ed eterna avventura che è la nostra vita. Diceva una canzone molto celebre: “La fede è troppo scossa ormai, ma prego e penso fra di me: proviamo anche con Dio, non si sa mai. E non c’è niente di più triste in giornate come queste, che ricordare la felicità. […] È uno di quei giorni in cui rivedo tutta la mia vita, bilancio che non ho quadrato mai […] Ho sempre detto in ultimo, ho perso ancora ma, domani è un altro giorno e si vedrà”. Per ora e per sempre: ripartiamo dalla scuola…

An Abstract This work is the outcome of an emotional suggestion and of a social awareness for the pain of the people of Amatrice, who lost their wealth, their homes, their schools and, above all, their lives. The pupils of the second class of the liceo sportivo shared the grief for this tragedy, deciding together with their teachers to do something concretely in order to help those who live in this area .In doing so, we followed the directions of the Italian Ministry of the Public Education, especially for the skills required by the school subject of Cittadinanza e Costituzione. It was not simple to share the consciousness of the brevity of human life, of its weakness, the strength of Nature, dishonoured and sacrificed more and more by an uncontrolled and unsustainable human progress. That is the purpose of this project born and developed with the teachers of Science and English . We decided to study scientifically the earthquakes, especially those which hit the central areas of Italy on 24th August 2017. After reading Plinio the Young’s Letters (16,20, liber VI), where the author explains causes and consequences of the Vesuvius’ eruption and the following earthquake, after a brief mention of his uncle’s (Plinio the Old) death, on 24th August 79 A.D, each student wrote an aphorism (a guide of their own land by the Umberto Eco’s words) and a haiku to explain their emotional côté. With the same aim, they imagined a penfriend in Amatrice, where there are no schools left, and sent him/ her a letter to get information and show their feelings and emotions. My colleagues and I hope that this work will contribute to make our pupils better men/women and better citizens as well as make them think how lucky they are. As Saba wrote “The pain has a voice and it doesn’t change” and Primo Levi said “Everyone’s woe is our”, we hope we pursued a good purpose not to forget the sufferance of other people.

Un giorno/ di sole:/ ritorna la vita
Haiku e aforismi Anime indifese: la terra trema in un cuore d' acciaio
Gli uomini lavoravano, i bambini giocavano e gli animali correvano: tutto da ricostruire per queste anime indifese.
8
Scende la sera, tutto trasforma ombre e pensiero La sfida della vita è più paurosa della morte.
9
Non sei morto, hai solo perso te stesso, con la distruzione dei tuoi ricordi. I ricordi sono come le nuvole... Ci sono sempre, anche se tu, forse, non riesci più a vederle.
10
Il terremoto Sorride. E la gente piange La Terra, solida casa dell'uomo, alle volte ci atterra, in una frazione di secondo.
11
Il terremoto distrugge le case: tu distruggi il mio cuore La terra posta sotto ai nostri piedi, quella che dovrebbe proteggerci, si ribella e ci distrugge a causa dei nostri errori.
12
Trema il cielo, cade la terra. Silenzio. Quando il cielo trema e cade la terra, c'è solo silenzio e morte.
13
Lo tsunami ti inonda, come l'amore ha inondato me Lo tsunami inonda le città, ma l'amore inonda i cuori delle persone che si amano.
14
E così per vendetta La natura si scaglia sull' uomo. Un terremoto per svegliarlo. Vite innocue, vite acerbe, vite mature. Tutte appese ad un albero distrutto da un terremoto.
15
Nel viso del terremoto
vedo la felicità Come un cielo sereno. Il viso del terremoto mi ricorda la felicità, la felicità mi ricorda un cielo sereno, il cielo sereno trasmette felicità
16
C'è una meta tremante per ogni anima sofferente: Il vento caldo della libertà. Non temere che sia tutto perduto, qualsiasi sia il tuo malessere, troverai un luogo e uno stato di libertà.
17
La terra si muove, tutto da rifare. La terra si finge ferma e invece si muove all'ombra, come una barca in un oceano in tempesta.
18
"E come il terremoto, tornerà la mancanza, a farmi soffrire" "La mancanza, se non ti ferisce, fa sì che tu sia più forte."
19
Città distrutte, scomparse in un minuto: muto dolore Sembra che gli uomini provino più dolore per i terremoti che per le guerre che questi combattono e per le quali uccidono.
20
La natura crea e distrugge, ma la speranza è indistruttibile Sii speranzoso, sii indistruttibile. Anche quando la natura distrugge.
21
In un giorno d'estate il terremoto colpisce: ancora ingiustizie L'ingiustizia è come una partita mezza vinta e mezza persa: vinta perché sei vivo, persa perché non hai più niente
22
Città distrutte, scomparse in un soffio silenzioso di dolore. A seguito di un terremoto, si scopre sempre che qualche sismografo l’aveva previsto, che qualcuno aveva taciuto e che molti non avevano ascoltato.
23
La notte del riposo, quiete. La natura si risveglia.
Mentre la notte si riposa, la natura si risveglia e non è mai quiete.
24
Senza le mie radici dentro me piove
L’amore vero è quello che ti rende una persona migliore senza sradicarti da quello che sei, diventando più forte.
25
La natura si ribella La terra si squarcia Tutti piangono
Il terremoto fa meno vittime della stupidità, dell'egoismo e della cattiveria dell'uomo.
26
Questo ruggito dal centro Della terra dove tutto tace E nulla rimane
Il terremoto è un evento talvolta fortunoso: ci obbliga a ricominciare tutto da nuovo
27
Le case sono come le carte Le sfiori e cadono, Ma il desiderio di ricominciare non svanisce mai
Le case sono come le carte, crollano, ma non crolla mai il desiderio di ricominciare
28
Il cielo continua a brillare sopra a una città ormai spenta.
La terra suona una ninna nanna macabra
29
Notte di terremoto, la luna illumina la stanza che trema.
La natura ha potere di distruggere e creare.
30
Più l'uomo ruba alla natura, più la natura si ribella
La natura si riprende tutto ciò che è suo.
31
Notti di paura, la terra trema ancora, il cielo piange i morti.
Quando la terra trema, il cielo piange i suoi morti.
32
Le scosse si sprigionano scuotendo la nostra vita, in cerca di persone felici. La vita è come un terremoto, ti scuote ogni giorno dentro, lasciando continuamente piccole crepe.

Letters for the earthquake
Dear Davide,
I'm Federico, I'm 15 years old and I live in Valle Lomellina, a
small village in Lombardia. I am studying at Sobrero high school, where
I'm attending the liceo sportivo. This year in Science we studied the
earthquakes and in History we read Plinio's report about the eruption of
Vesuvius.
I'm sorry for what happened to you on 24th august, I think people are
ready to help you. I think it is very difficult live in a village hit by the
earthquake. I'll try to help you. Take courage! We will be with you!
Dear friend,
My name's Andrea, I am 16 years old and I have curly brown
hair and green eyes. I live in a small village called Sartirana. At school
we talked about the power and the destruction of earthquakes, because
in your area on 24th of august there was a terrible earthquake. During
this activity at school, I was quiet and unhappy because the earthquake
destroyed your village. In history, I studied Plinio the Young : in his
novel he wrote about the earthquake in Pompeii. I hope that now you are
fine and you live in a safe village or city. I hope to see you.
Dear friend,
my name is Amedeo, I play rugby, I’m 17 years old and I live in
Alessandria near Torino in Piedmont. In my School, I studied the
earthquakes and that really impressed me especially when my teacher
told me of your School, which was destroyed by the earthquake. When I
realized what you were feeling when you lost your House or your School.
I felt very sad and now I want to help you. Goodbye!
Dear friend,
My name is Emanuele, I'm 15 years old, I'm tall and slim and I
have brown hair and blue eyes. I like sport in general and in particular
basketball, I have been playing it since I was 4 years old, I like it so
much. This year we studied the earthquakes I was very impressed
especially by the power of the nature that you can't stop . I felt so sad
and I couldn't imagine how you felt. In class, we worked on this fact and
34
we made a PowerPoint about it. This work helped me to know the
strength of the earthquake iwhich hit the center of Italy. See you soon.
Dear friend
I'm Alessio, a student from Sobrero high school. I'm attending
the liceo sportivo.I live in Valenza with my family in a big house in the
centre of the town. This year we studied the earthquakes at school and I
really liked that. I was happy to do this project because I could work in
group to better study this natural disaster. In the project, we made a work
on power point, where we explained the earthquake’s effect in Italy and
in the Mediterranean Sea. I was surprised about the power of this
disaster. It’s impossible to try to escape, because it hits at random and
it's so powerful. Unfortunately the earthquake is impossible to stop
because it is a natural event , so we can't only support the people. I’m
so sad about that, because every time it hits, it produces thousands of
victims and that is impossible to anticipate. If there was a solution, I
would do anything to avoid it.
See you soon
Dear friend,
I'm Alessandro Scalzi, a student at Sobrero High School, I'm 15
and I'm writing to tell you what I did at school about the earthquakes. We
studied the earthquakes in Science and this is the thing that impressed
me most, because I finally knew why the earthquakes happened and
why there was one of the most powerful in Italy last years. When I also
knew that a similar disaster happened during the Roman Empire, I was
really impressed and I felt sad for the destruction. I am hopeful for the
people hit by the earthquake because I think you are strong people and
you can overcame this bad period and forget this experience.
Best wishes.
Dear friend from Amatrice,
My name is Gersel, I’m 16 and I’m from Casale Monferrato in
Piemonte. I'd like to tell you about what we did at school. This year,
when we heard about the tragic events in Amatrice, my friends and I
started a project about earthquakes and volcanoes, in order to learn
something more. The thing that most attracted me was the power point
35
we did about volcano’s eruption, and their origins, it was an interesting
experience. We also felt impressed, when we saw what happened in the
area of the earthquake, I felt upset. It was so sad and terrible to lose
everything and unfortunately that does not depend on us, we can't
change it. I wrote this letter because I wanted to support all of you and
tell you not to give up. You must forget these terrible moments and
continue your life.
With love
Dear friend,
I am Andrea and I am 15. I live in Mede, a small town near
Pavia. I play football as a goalkeeper and I really love it. I have one
brother who lives with me and a sister who lives on her own in Pavia.
Months ago at school, we talked about the earthquake which hits your
area and more generally about all the earthquakes. Every time we talked
about your situation, I thought that I really wanted to be there with you to
help you . We studied the earthquakes in science and in Italian when we
tried to consider the emotion that you felt during this bad period. I am
excited to write you because it is a way to help you and tell you never to
give up. In Italian we read a story written by Plinio the Young, who wrote
a letter about the earthquake and the eruption of Vesuvius in Pompeii in
79 A.D. Reading how the people of Pompeii spent their last moments,
made me feel astonished. It made me think that after 2000 years
emotions have never changed. You need to continue to be happy and to
think about the future of your life. All the best
Dear friend,
My name is Christian and I'm fifteen, I live in Valenza, but I go to
school in Casale Monferrato. I'm tall and I have short, blond hair.
Now I'm writing this letter to support you in this bad time. This year at
school we studied the earthquakes and I liked this activity because we
worked in groups. I'm sorry for what happened to you: it was a huge
disaster! See you soon!
36
Dear friend,
my name is Filippo. I'm 16 years old and I'm attending the liceo
sportivo in Casale. At school we saw on TV what happened in your area.
It was terrible and I really felt sorry.
Write me soon. Bye bye
Dear friend
My name is Matteo, I live in Alessandria, a city in Piedmont. I'm
a student at Sobrero high school in Casale Monferrato. I study at the
liceo sportivo. I'm tall and I have short brown hair. Now I'm writing this
letter to know about your emotions. This year at school we studied the
earthquakes and I liked this subject because I worked with my friends.
I'm sorry about what happened to you. See you soon!
Dear friend,
My name is Lorenzo, I am 16 years old and I live in Valenza,
near Casale. I'm writing this letter to support you. In class we studied the
earthquakes and the thing that impressed me most was the violence of
the earthquake, which destroyed a lot of houses and killed a lot of
people. When I heard that you weren't happy, I searched on the Internet
some news about the disaster that the earthquake caused in your area. I
hope I will be able to help you and your family.
See you soon.
Dear friend
My name is Emanuele, I'm fifteen years old. I was born in Torino
but I live in Casale Monferrato. I attend the Liceo Sportivo, I'm in the
second year. This year my mates and I made a school project based on
the earthquakes. We also studied Plinio's documents about Pompeii in
79 A.D. I watched what happened to you on TV and I was very angry
and sad because people in Amatrice lost their houses and their lives
changed. In March with five of my school friends I went to Pompeii with
and we saw the disaster. See you soon.
Dear friend ,
37
I live in Casale Monferrato near Turin. I am fifteen years old and
I go to Sobrero high school. I am attending the liceo Sportivo. I play
basketball for Junior Casale and I really like it. I am slim, I have blue
eyes and black hair. I sometimes play basketball with my friends. At
school I studied the earthquakes and the thing which most impressed me
was a letter written by Plinio "the Young”. I liked it because Plinio wrote
about the eruption of Vesuvius and it was very interesting. When the
earthquake devastated the territory of Abruzzo, Lazio, Marche, Emilia-
Romagna, I felt sad and angry. I am sorry for you and your people. I wish
that you are all right now.
Good luck.
Dear friend,
my name is Ginevra, I live in San Salvatore Monferrato in
Piemonte. I play football and I love this sport. I've got long, straight,
brown hair and brown eyes. In class, we worked with our teachers and
we studied that the earthquake is a phenomenon able to devastate a lot
of countries or territories. Especially we talked about the violent
earthquake that hit your village and I was impressed. I felt sad because I
saw on TV many people crying and I hate seeing these things, but I liked
to see how the other people helped you.
See you soon
Dear friend,
I'm a 15 years old boy and I'm a student. I study at Sobrero high
school, which is in Piedmont. I am quite tall and I've got brown hair and
brown eyes. About six months ago, we started a new project to help you
and the people who live in your area. With our teacher, we talked about
the power of the earthquakes and what they can do. Everybody in my
class was scared and sad. These things shouldn’t happen and I couldn't
believe what had happened to you. I felt sad and sorry. The thing that
impressed me most was the danger of the earthquake. For some days I
thought how you could feel. I hope that now you feel better and that you
and your people will be able to smile again.
See you soon.
38
Dear friend,
How are you? I'm fine and I hope you are well, too. I would like
to tell you about me. I'm 16 years old, I have long, brown hair and brown
eyes. I'm tall and slim and I usually wear casual clothes. I practise the
sport dance and I need a partner because I have to dance in pair. I go to
Sobrero high school in Casale, near my house. I have one sister, her
name is Rachele. She is 10 years old but she is very tall! At school I
studied the earthquakes and my favourite activity was power point in
science because I am very interested in computer science During
classes in Italian I read about the earthquake which hit your area. I am
very sad for you. I hope in the future I will be able to meet you. See you
soon.
Dear friend,
In this letter I'm going to write about myself. My name is Matteo
and I'm 15 years old. I'm friendly and easy-going, I'd really like to know
something about you. During this year we studied the Earthquakes in
Science. Personally, I think this was the most interesting topic if you are
into science. I was really impressed by the effects that an Earthquake
can have on people, animals and Earth. When I was on holiday in Emilia
Romagna, I heard about the Earthquake in Amatrice and I was so
disappointed and sad about you. I think that losing your house or one of
your relative or same friends is the worst thing that could happen. I wish
you could start again a new life and make new friends soon.
Best Wishes
Dear Friend,
I'm Viviana, I'm fifteen and I'm studying at Sobrero high school in
Casale Monferrato. I have got short brown hair, brown eyes and I'm quite
tall. In my class, we studied the earthquakes and It was amazing, but
scary at the same time. Amazing because we wrote an "haiku" and an
"aphorism" on the earthquake. It was a beautiful activity, because you
could understand the emotions that people felt. I really regret about you,
39
but I hope that soon your life can return to normality and in the meantime
I wish you all the best. I hope that you'll write me as soon as possible,
because I want to know how you are and what is happening now in your
area.
Kisses
Dear friend,
my name is Francesco. I'm 15 years old and I'm a student at
liceo sportivo in Casale. I was impressed by the strength of the
earthquake because this year at School I studied this phenomenon. I
saw photos of cities destroyed. When I heard what happened to you, I
was very sorry because many people lost their houses and others died. I
hope you could overcome this event soon.
See you soon.
Dear friend,
My name is Giada and I'm 16 years old. I go to Sobrero high
school and I attend the second year of the liceo sportivo. I've got long
straight hair, blue eyes and a small mouth. What's your name? At school
my friends and I did some activities about the events that happened in
your area. In science we studied the earthquakes and we wrote a text in
Italian about it. The story of Plinio the Young impressed us because he
wrote about the Vesuvius eruptions . I'm very sad for the events that hit
you, but I hope that you, your family and your friends are safe! Please
write me back soon. Best wishes
Dear Filippo,
My name is Alyssa and I'm 16 years old. I'm attending the
Sobrero's high school. Recently I've studied the Earth for the Italian and
Science exams. We did it because we heard about the earthquakes that
hit your area. I can't imagine how you felt when it happened, but I
searched on the Internet some speeches made by people like you.
When I was listening to them, I felt so sad and angry because it's not fair
that an earthquake can cause all that destruction. I feel very close to you
40
and I'd like to help you. I have to go now, duty calls, but I hope that we
will keep in touch.
Best wishes.
Dear friend,
I am Elvira, I'm 15 years old and I am studying at "A.Sobrero"
high school in Casale M.to. I have long blond hair, green eyes and I'm
1,75 m tall. I live with my mum in a little village called Bozzole. I am a
solar and generous person. At school we studied the earthquakes in
science and in Italian, we tried to imagine the emotions of the people hit
by the earthquake I'm sorry about what happened to you. I was
impressed about your courage to rebuild your houses I'd like to visit your
city and discover your story.
See you later.
Dear Friend,
my name is Alessio, I am 16 years old and I live in a small
village near Pavia, called Torre Beretti. I go to school in Casale at
"Sobrero" high School. At school, we talked about what happened to you
last summer and so we decided to start a project. We worked in group.
My group and I searched about the earthquake scales and the most
powerful earthquakes registered with them. It's been a very emotional
work because a lot of people died and the people who survived were
without a house or without a job. Fortunately, a lot of them were lucky
because they still have their family and their friends. It's scary thinking
about the violence that an earthquake can produce. The cry of the
people that lost everything is sad but it’s amazing how people help each
other. If you want, you can tell me about your feelings, how your life has
changed or where you live now. I hope that you'll have more luck. Best
wishes.
Dear friend,
My name is Emma and I'm 15 years old. I was born on
Halloween, in Ivrea, a city in Piemonte. I attend the liceo sportivo
because I'm very good at sport. In my free time I do gymnastic and love
it.
I'm writing to you because I would like to know how you are and what
you think about this tragic event. During this year, we read a lot about
41
what happened in your area. Our teachers decided to let us work in
groups; we search on the Internet some information about the
earthquakes; we also read about the Vesuvius’s eruption and the awful
event which destroyed Pompeii.
I think it is very scary to find yourself in the middle of an Earthquake and
not to have where to stay but I'm sure you will overcome.
Kisses and hugs.
