There used to be People Living here until the huge earthquake in october two thousand and sixteen now sun is the mayor of a village without any inhabitants. The house is a piece of a bowl that yana are out of bounds and i would have been fired seeing that work with my greatest wish is to see the village full of life again with me to building is not enough of it with people have to come back and bring life back with them. Brought. The square used to be a lively place the heart of the village. Whatever life there is now is to be found in the bar now housed in a prefab container with adjoining plastic tent. That could be salvaged from the old bar is the espresso machine luigi pulled from the rubble. Hopefully that will be he says the machine as a sign of hope. I decided at once to reopen the bar in this container how the wise there would be nothing here at all. But he sent me is happy luigi did that the mayor comes here twice a day for a coffee and a chat. With these men come here to play cards for now they are living in guesthouses and hotels a long way away but still they like to come home to. His bedside and mother wise would be lost you know there was a great idea of luigis to put up his friend so at least we have this place to meet our homes are gone as a block. To us. But luigi says hes not sure he can keep going he has so few guests. Its going to take a long time tourism was our main source of income. That it will be many years before all the houses a rebuilt and. If the village is to have a future there has to be a school otherwise young families wont return. In. The towns children will still need to work through the trauma of the earthquake. A few kilometers away is the village of camerino. Here the children still have a school. It was built in the one nine hundred ninety s. After an earlier big earthquake. The prefab single storey buildings survived the twenty sixteen quake. For the third graders this is a very special day. With. A lot of people who are. Here and simone a have come to conduct a three day workshop with one of the head of the mock up shes a psychologist and hes a teacher. On the menu and. Theyre here to talk to the children about what they went through during and after the earthquake and to help them deal with the trauma their nightmares and fears. With. Many parents try not to think or talk about what happened theyre focused on starting over trying to piece their lives together again. With dealing with the worries of their children is for some a burden too far. Because they think it means that of all in the workshop the first step is to try to identify and name what theyre feeling. I thought with fear and sadness because they benefit fear and sadness and anyone else blowing oh yeah boredom. My panic article on you know when we come up in the u. K. To do stuff when we need them we dont know what my impression is that these children have a great. They need to free themselves from the burden thats what they have been through all. That in the meeting with dan so they need to talk about it what i mean is that i want to be featured her name is just bullshit so no. I ran up the stairs really fast my grandmother. Is so not so no no no no no need to want to do too much first i called for my mother and then i ran out of the house by myself and did not get was so i just froze and my grandmother grabbed me by the arm and pulled me out of the house. Sunderland gianni is on his way to visit hes a farmer and had a riding stable. Collapsed. I was having a very hard time. Going up only the. Phone died the other day and it was because of the earthquake. And it had just been born. It was premature its mothers placenta was damaged in the earthquake. Will be amended and i wasnt the only animal to die big zingo it started to. Go once to rebuild and get his business going again. Its a miracle that he and his family survived. Theyve been waiting for months for prefab container to live in but it still hasnt arrived. The mayor tries to help wherever he can at least with advice. You know. That you all will itll all be rebuilt. And you have to think carefully about exactly how you want to. Think about what would be best for you. That you could move the stalls over. Here we can put the rooms for the guests down there and ill give you. The government has promised twenty billion euros in funds to rebuild devastated homes and communities to cover all the restoration and rebuilding costs. Here. Seen any money yet. Of that on both things move slowly some bombers i know have caught some of them i hope it will be my turn soon. Greatest wish is to see his village rebuilt and revived but he has problems of his own hes not permitted to live in his house. Its Still Standing but it suffered structural damage. A lot of work has to be done it would not withstand another quake the way it is now. We thought about it but this is the most dangerous part of every thought of the entire wall could topple inwards be that rental. It has to be stabilized and then youve got to go to. The house is sunders lifes work. You know all these saying i built half of it myself with my own hands to do it and i designed it and helped with the construction and nine years of hard labor he had put up with the guys that. He still likes to keep it clean and tidy even if that makes little sense. One to three states i feel such sadness you have the music based back i miss having your own you may go but its orrible that even she used to sit here and smoke and toss my cigarette butts into the fire action value from his Little Things like that that you really miss me. From the be what it cost. As you have. You know as. Income or a no n. P. A. Bovey yana nobody was killed in the huge earthquakes of two thousand and sixteen. It was quite different in one hundred kilometers away. The town was devastated in the august quake the first in a series in central italy last year. About three hundred people were killed here and in nearby towns thousands were made homeless. Almost all the survivors moved away often far away. Among those who remained some get by without any help from the state. A few have set up a camp in the woods outside and they call it sure would forest. Swift aid reconstruction compensation none of the things the government promised have happened they say. The. Civil war which is the that we have sounds as though some might take offense because we have chosen to take the initiative and deal with a state of emergency on our own but these go because of the large is of not showing their face here we have lost everything and this area belongs to us all it was a little. Just so they do get some modest assistance from a volunteer group in luck with a town that was ravaged by a quake a number of years ago. Lazzaro brings bread to Sherwood Forest once a week hed like to be able to do more were going to switch youll see on the value of some portable prefab poems that we dont need anymore we wanted to donate them but the authorities wont let us because the cabins would be a gift but they Favor Companies that would sell homes for lots of money but. In an emergency they always want to make money out of peoples need gets a business limit and. Call them whatever you like but with grey for all those this is the gold just. A few hundred kilometers away prefab homes are actually going up the problem is with assigning them to families that need them thats not going ahead. The people still here have been basically left to fend for themselves. Because if you please absolutely want to stay its crazy to live in a hotel on the coast and drive hundreds of kilometers every day to attend to youre a fast bowler legal to illegal to. Not knowing how things will turn out is a torment for many. Dont push into the beast you cant make predictions with any confidence you know stuff. I dont know how much time the state is going to need her what resources are available to rebuild one hundred thirty one communities youre watching. In the evenings sandro drives the hundred kilometers from here to the adriatic coast where the majority of the villagers have been put up in hotels. He visits them often as mayor he seeks to encourage and console his people. He wants to keep the Community Together even if they have been dispersed and displaced. Go astray. That most unnoticed got them into the life in a hotel is not much of a holiday. Sometimes the mood is good sometimes not so good it goes up and down a lot longer were here the harder it gets. And. Bureaucracy moves slowly and that means large scale reconstruction cant get underway in many communities affected by the quake. Putting survivors up in hotels was meant to be a temporary emergency measure. But some might have to stay for years. As a goal before the thirty second earthquake destroyed everything but we wont let this get us down. If we. Will carry on or be brave we may be down but were definitely not out. Elderly people fear they will never return to their homes or even see them again yes. Good night. Good see you soon. Oh. Yeah and. Living out the rest of their lives in a modest hotel beside a highway is not what anybody had expected. Here because its the second day of the workshop with chiara and simonian at the school in camerino today theyre going to give fear a face. When they work i think about it with the pro it doesnt matter if it turns out pretty or ugly or just plain whatever you think is really scary. Or of off there but if you feel like everything if i were a. Russian character i want i think to the robot with a Rocket Launcher on the shoulder and hes aiming at the houses. Quieter houses just to destroy them all but one of just going to cause. Youre ok lets listen. To what we dont have that the sooner you treat fear the greater the chances of preventing long term Serious Problems including one on the bottom and were looking to much of the job of them for. Many of the children used to live in the old downtown area. Camerino had seven thousand inhabitants before the quake. Now the old town is off limits. No one can come here unless accompanied by a firefighter or public official. The town spokesperson tony shows out and simone of the damage. There may say down there we go through on a bit of what i want the government. Makes lots of promises but it hasnt committed to any reconstruction plan. Going forward the Building Work you see here is on our own initiative at leeds and indiana italy has a big problem. There are lots of rules and regulations and everything moves very slowly and youre going to five months for the municipality to get the authorization to repair a road and the actual work was completed in two weeks so we could have been using that road again within a fortnight but you know we had to wait more than five months. It was said about him havent learned anything since the earthquake. That this is the tragic thing about italy and whenever Something Like this happens we start from scratch again so its over with anything but i saw through that really you know. It was a. It will probably take decades to rebuild camerino. This survivors will never forget that moment on the evening of october twenty sixth twenty sixteenth just after seven p. M. When the ground shook and their town was destroyed. In the i dont have it here i was just around the corner here yes. A. Team you dont think you just run for safety make that get a bad boy. And when i saw all those young people with the share if you made the best so were running out of town but there are some cases. That i just knew theyd never come back what i would because i will with no known doing that i know. Its already in charge of Historical Monuments and Civil Defense are stretched to the limit there arent enough people in planning or to issue Building Permits and so on i just said means nobody here can get down to work reconstruction is on hold. Except for this church where firefighters are retrieving works of art from the ruins. So to be something to that which this guy this is a Franciscan Church from the thirteenth century and they were all bought and it housed a unique collection of organs. They were removed immediately after the quake. But even. Though annoyed by the lack of help and progress knowledge is that other communities were hit even harder. Than when the mindy got i guess go see the when they die we have to remember that serious and frequent quakes have killed many people and other towns. Near we all survived. And were not afraid. While you dont mess it up all we want is for them to stop messing around with us and take us seriously then you would. We be willing to do without any help if they were just let us get on with things ourselves. Reconstruction after disasters in italy has often proven problematic either it took too long or it was not what people actually needed. In one thousand nine hundred eighty the opinion earthquake hit southern italy it was the worst in modern tell you in history. Three hundred thousand people were made homeless more than ten thousand were injured. And almost three thousand were killed. Sixty four perished in the village of sin archaea. Don i took us borrow was ten years old at the time. Symbolic if you will soon i have your cable ill say buff it sounded like an airplane flying over the house us. Because he thought the double was the boy in a whole room started to sway before the trailer you may remember just tossed back and forth all in one minute our world fell apart. Cubby thought that he took too. Many houses were never rebuilt. Where the church once stood theres now a memorial to those killed in the quake including one of donatos friends. The gentle funny bit of a brush ya know franco he was my age you and me lived in the same building as me youre going to like i mean if i had been with him at that moment i would have died as well. My age now many here for us i know greedo fasano we. Fifty two billion euros in public funds went into reconstruction across the area. Each family got a new house. More to bequeath ya know we could get it but many of those who qualified for a new home that i would have actually left the village after the quake but i can draw my work elsewhere and i would one with he thought it was a lot of house but who nonetheless they got a house it was three more looking up it will give you love so we have lots of new buildings. Because most of them are empty even if you thought that by me they know. To not tell runs a catholic religious goods and gift shop he supplies parishes in the area. But business is not good and its getting worse. Hes almost the only resident left on his street. The mafia profited massively from the construction boom siphoning off billions. From homes nobody wants or needs. To. Send their kid no has its own way of marking time its point of reference the biggest calamity to have ever hit the town. With a mock you know when we talk about things cars or houses we always say they date from before the quake or from after the quake before and after the body made over to him just like the christian calendar before and after the birth of christ. Diesel but as if the earthquake had torn our history into them and also for you. Its the third day of the workshop with chiara and simone and. The children have taken photos of their paintings of fear in the know making amulets out of them to help them keep their fears that they. Are. Going. To be mean well done that i mean this is a beautiful talisman but his mom will do just that a mother whos going to. Do it. And then the workshop comes to an end and the first. Three days with you were fantastic it was lots of fun you were great but we have done amazing Work Together so when you sort of want to be accepted at least to go on as she was down q im glad we got to know you and most of the amulet was fun this time when it will be very useful and thats a good act in the set of the dam were used to this is b. S. And i knew that this will help me get over my feet. Of earthquakes you have been so going where you did out there it will help me get over my fear of sleeping alone. I die at you or going to the bathroom by myself yeah there or doing my homework alone. Ive gone pretty desolate. Simone and carol want to do workshops with lots more children they begin the project at their own expense they receive no government support. And theyre gonna start with you know its a little bit like a way to go where i work with you it will blow over i might remember what it was sunday he has gone back to albinos riding stables. Its a big day for him and. Its been many months since the earthquake sunder has not found the time to pursue his passion for writing until today he keeps his aging stallion here with the horse still remembers its master. Were going to. Sandras old saddle is still here. Thank you. Very much but it was under the rubble its still covered in dust and bits of plaster but theyve got you know he says going to tell you i know pulled it out. Of what they were going to. Walk around. This outing has a special symbolic meaning under these trying circumstances. Yes it is you know all we know is back in the saddle and its really. Good. That maybe. Formal noise in there would be the end if we stopped thinking about the future but about rebuilding that youve got it and stop looking forward to everything being new again. Will believe that life goes on. And with the earthquake weapons that i get caught ill be dead will be even make a sci fi of my own.
