“Investing in Culture establishes a vicious circle that meets other disciplines. And the institutions -who are understood -cannot fail to take note of it. Then you have to open up to private individuals, to look elsewhere. But certainly it takes a direction that politics must give itself. Let’s start, I repeat, from the small villages, those with Less than 10. 000 inhabitants. Their enthusiasm will be absolutely contagious. ” Pietrangelo Buttafuoco, for a year at the helm of the Venice Biennale in an interview with the newspapers of the Nem group, which includes “Il Piccolo” and “Il Messaggero Veneto”, together with the four Venetian newspapers “Il Mattino di Padova”, “The Tribuna di Treviso”, “La Nuova Venezia” and “Il Corriere delle Alpi” of Belluno.
“Italy, largely made of the province, of small villages, needs an action that allows these territories not to feel periphery, not to feel abandoned to the use and exclusive consumption of digital. In centers below the ten thousand inhabitants, a commitment must be imagined: guarantee the principals of the critical spirit. Which are then those that determine much of the economy and trade. You have to save the cinemasi theaterthe bookstores. – It is the appeal of Buttafuoco – to guarantee these three realities. Just as the Carabinieri barracks or the pharmacy is guaranteed. In the same way, it is necessary to concentrate and establish the principle that in the large, wonderful Italian province, cannot be done by less than these three entities that I have appointed “.
And on the difficulty of cinemas to survive streaming, Buttafuoco reiterates: “The unique enjoyment that can give the big screen, Never, it can never be defeated by the vision through the devices. There is a concept to be addressed and to be introduced: the luxury one. Who has no to do immediately with the money. The maximum involvement, especially from an emotional point of view, occurs in the room for the viewer. We had a trial tried at the last Film Festival which saw the Return en masse of people who have chosen to sit and face many hours of projection. The two experiences, the cinema and devices, are not comparable “.
After a year at the helm of the biennial bacuttopal thus answers a question about the future of his work: “The horizon is inevitably metaphysical. It is only a metaphysical. Transit is always a link. The same social reason
of this institution, of the Biennaleis made of well -defined disciplines that are always aimed at overcoming the current horizon to get to further. It is obvious. I take advantage of the question-anchor I did not materially call it-for publicly invite Master Ermanno Cavazzoni to us A hold one’s reading teacher. “
