Phenomenology of pizzardone, alert Roman struggling with … – The Gazette

Rome. The municipal novel pizzardone (pizzarda or by felucca, a traditional hat of antique Roman brigade) resists the ravages of time, and it is precisely in time, between vintage and modernity that the fight against wild stop and the double row finds its most fertile vein. It ‘a few days ago the case of the citizen-model having called a futuristic web IoSegnalo service, it launched a year ago by the Capitoline Municipal, and that allows you to solicit the pizzardoni electronically, it is seen from the above call pizzardoni and encircle “by flying five and seven agents “that instead of fining have rebuked: so there doing work. The sounder, Andrea U., had summoned firefighters to fine car double parked in Pigneto, district alluminii anodized, intellectuals and coworking and trafficking liberal, and “seemed to be arresting me for something, and you have several people stopped to watch I still I have explained that it is my right and civic duty to do it. “

Del pizzardone the rest – at least that of literature – it has always been refractory to modernity and novelty; in the cult film “The Fireman”, directed by Luigi Zampa, an Alberto Sordi aka Othello Celletti is betrayed by technological innovations: in 1960 Celletti favored movie starlet in fact found in violation of the Road Code and let her go, and she thought well to thank him live on television. The modernity of the medium TV broke the ancient games of the powers and counter-powers, and followed reproaches and executioner change of Celletti, that not finding a fit, going to fine the mayor (Vittorio De Sica).

While shot in Viterbo, the references to the Roman realities were evident, then and now; the case was in fact inspired by a story last year, when the superintendent of Rome Carmelo Marzano had been fined for dangerous overtaking by an honest pizzardone on behalf Ignazio Melone; which he was then subjected to machine mud, finding him a sister who practiced prostitution in Milan. But another Ignazio Marino, was, as we know, contested the automotive fateful entry into the restricted traffic zone for a Red Panda, and in his memoir “A Martian in Rome” (Feltrinelli) also the former today Mayor insists that “I never thought for one second that the so-called scandal of the red Panda was random,” then, of plotting question, conspiracy mediated by the eye of pizzardoniche infrared cameras.

rELATED ARTICLES Roman Commedione the school, drugs, and we the Colosseum wings and it is in fact mainly in the clash between modernity and tribal gestures that pizzardone is to extricate; so IoSegnalo system was launched in July 2015 by the new head of the department efficiently, Raffaele Clemente, and promised to be an “active web portal 24 hours 24″, with enthusiastic tones and technological innovations of the suspect, which allows “to verify at any time any stress situations in the territory, planning appropriate actions in the medium and long term. ” And though the system, suspended today, generated mainly in city-stress markers, as well as in the alert are allergic to hi-tech. According to the basic blog “Romafaschifo” IoSegnalo had to be a “thunderous crowbar, a knife sunk into the side of a body that has to change radically but do not want to do it out of laziness, interest, inability.” And though there was perhaps some risk of anthropological change, if anything, in a nation of citizens have become avid signalers: always on the blog, October 16, 2015 a user who calls himself “active warning”, author of “thirty reports a day “but also” up to fifty “, was told, in essence:” but you have nothing better to do? “; and the service is just outstanding.

While it is effectively force another gimmick, a “Street Control”, ie intelligent telecamerona mounted on patrols, able to read the license plates of up to 20 meters away and with moving car. A large network watchful for tuna fishing and trawling always wanted by Clement: result, 200,000 more fines. And fears of a robotic pizzardone perhaps, in the future by Blade Runner Roman.

With these scenarios, someone will try already nostalgia until the fifties the Capitoline fighters were in fact even celebrated, the day of the Epiphany, with food, and wine brought by citizens, but with the years of mass motorization, motorists multiplied and got tired up to – apparently – lay bodily substances in foods destined for pizzardoni, and the ritual was exhausted. Meanwhile, today, perhaps to balance the arrembante modernity of cameras and sensors between the Municipal, the prefect Francesco Paolo Trim has just restored the white helmet, the pizzardone, in fact, very vintage. If not for the whole body, at least for its most authoritative representative, what stands in the Piazza Venezia, as a former priest.
