October 9, 1963, at 22:39

Maybe the date did not tell you much. We know that the dates are quite ostiche to remember. Then I will tell you a name. Just one. Vajont.
At this point, if you live on planet Earth, you should have remembered a lot more. On the
Vajont always enjoy going back, so any excuse is good. Beyond that is a goal that everyone who lives around here should see at least once in their lives, the place is very beautiful and evocative. The gorge carved by the river is something spectacular. Unfortunately for you should take it properly or fly or climb over the dam, which is not always possible, but even walking beside you proceed along the plant As you can imagine is breathtaking. And the vision of Spar (Spar of what remains of the old, more than anything else) adds the sublime to the sublime.
But the thing that strikes more than anything else on the Vajont, is the silence that pervades the area. As if the day the noise of the landslide has been exaggerated so that now, for centuries, you will not hear much more noise. Countries perched high above the dam, are alive, but almost did not appear. Walking through their streets is like venturing into a ghost town. The people who wanted to (strongly) to recover their land are not many. And I do not feel much of blaming others. Some have thought that it was not bearable to watch every day to the point on Earth from which he had thrown all their tragedy. Others, more prosaically, perhaps did not even have no home to return to. The story
Vajont, thanks to the work of artists such as Marco Paolini and - recently - thanks to a film (released but not in Italy, as far as I know. And I do not understand why), after nearly forty years has enjoyed a small flap: Clearly, as the protagonists of the tragedy are poor, mountain, small villages before then anonymous, and instead antagonists are powerful bodies such as Enel and the State, it was not a limelight to great effect , as would have been right. What should we do, so he travels the world, or at least Italy, please. We just have to tell the story whenever we can. The true story, of course. Not that that for forty years have passed off as truth.
Then, as the story begins?
One day, a company called Hydro EDIS decides he wants to build a plant in the valley, making the gorge that the river Vajont centuries had patiently dug. The location is ideal, in some respects: the strategic position to collect a large volume of water to be kept as "reserve" for reuse in times of drought the Piave, thus to other facilities scattered around the area of work ( and then the energy to be distributed. And to earn the EDIS). The mountains (the Skip and the infamous Toc) create a bottleneck at one point that seems made to be closed by a dam. As for the land to be expropriated, is a land of mountains, poor, which can be bought for a song. Who cares if the mountain people live there with those lands. They are mountain people, who if they ever yarn?
the EDIS import these characteristics, and then the dam begins and in no time is already on, gorgeous. The problem is that the Toc upstream dam that really do not want it. The water of the mountain, absolutely unfit to get your feet wet, start to dig into the rock, to infiltrate, to soak it, get it rot inside. They start the explosions deaf, earthquakes, Preliminary small landslides. The mountain is complaining, warning that something is wrong. But the EDIS wants to sell a plant tested and working, and will be undeterred in his work. Then came October 9. At 22:39 the Toc collapses. A huge slice of the mountains, with woods, pastures and land, a huge M plunges unfortunately in the lake. M's death, unfortunately. Damage to Erto Casso and the two countries that were above the lake and struggled for years - unheard - to avert that catastrophe. But most damage to Spar, the town that stood at the foot of the gorge Vajont that, unaware of everything that night is first blown away by the air generated by the wave that ran against her in the throat, and then literally canceled by the wave itself.
The result? More than two thousand dead.
The result? This:

Please note that the entire M could not be photographed because they are too big to enter the lens. And to be grasped at a glance.
Please note that that mass of land that you see over the edge of the dam at that point is in one of his depressions: the landslide that fills the tank Vajont is so huge that in some respects almost cover the view of the mountain peak behind. Photo 3

As the depth of the dam ... just to give you an idea:

This is the lowest level that reaches the earth of the landslide. Photo 5

This is the dam in its entirety. The point that you see in the other picture is more or less just below the first "frame" from above.

The marks left by the dam to the two countries of the mountain are mostly in the heart of the disaster who lived it. Steep and Casso in the disaster, were somewhat protected and saved from the same mountain that fed them since they had emerged: the first was flown over by the wave, which then hit him from above, but not 'dragged her away. The second was saved by a rock against which water sollevatasi against him ran into, losing power. Many houses, then presumably have been rebuilt and now the little villages also appear attractive and distinctive. The sight of Casso, for example, is very nice:

however - especially the Ertan - did not want to erase everything. The signs that remain of what was done there, they seem to be saying this with their decision to build the new town at the top, and leave the old with the same scars that were inflicted at the time.

Close This two photos, taken in that Erto, where lives a gentleman named Mauro Corona, author of several books and much loved and known, at least in these parts. No one better than him and those who, with stubbornness and tenacity, he took back what was taken away from them, and they never wanted to forget the truth.
