RESISTENCE NO HST Susa Valley, Piemont ( Italy ) 2011 – 2021

RESISTENZA NO TAV

This is a story in the history of the no hst movement, which for over 30 years has opposed the devastation of its land, the waste of public money and the militarization of the Susa Valley. The fight against high speed train is the same as that of many territories devastated by the mafia, stolen from their inhabitants, men, women, animals or plants, for the sole purpose of making profit for a few other men, covering with the illusion of a place of work or progress, the devastation into which not only Italy is rapidly slipping. For years I have published on my website only the photos of the places where I exhibited to connect this story to those of many others with whom I set it up. Thus I crossed other territories in conflict devastated by great works or everyday places, where I could share these stories . I tried to talk above all about instinct, I believe, how to defend the nature that surrounds us, feel in symbiosis with it and derive from it the strength to live, create, together with others. I think that the No hst Resistance is where we feel personally involved, where we understand that we have to do something before it disappears.
