Since I joined the association of Vivere Trastevere, I thought it might be of some interest to write about our most recent movement as a follow-up to my blog of June 2007, picture of the Piazza Trilussa after Saturday night parties.
In two years the situation, alas, in the whole of the Trastevere area hasn't changed. Last summer we, VIVERE TRASTEVERE, tried to attract the attention of other citizens with a mute demo on the Ponte Sisto, the small pedestrian bridge that takes hundreds of visitors daily to Trastevere. Not only were we mute, but wore a mask of the famous painting "THE SHOUT" by Munch. How best could we express our dismay?
The idea, I think, was brilliant, but the results were non existant. Trastevere continues to be a no man's land especially at night when the young crowds roaming its narrow lanes get high on booze & drugs.
Our next step? Wait until next spring: We will then camp at night in tents in Piazza Trilussa hoping the deaf local authorities will listen to us and finally start a clean up policy in the area.
Any suggestions for our cause will be more than welcome.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
