two world wars nine years of

war but a very heavy inheritance

unexploded bombs

but how many these unexploded bombs are

according to a statistic of the department

American defense

the bombs launched only in the second

world conflict

there are a million the equivalent of 380,000

tons of this quantity on 10

percent did not work then

we are talking about 38 38 thousand tons

to date 60 per cent have been recovered

a hundred so they still remain from

recover

16 thousand tons I like it and me

I’d like to tell you this but it’s not like that

Unfortunately

to these we must add all the

bombs used by the Germans all

the abandoned bombs hidden by the

retired armies and the largest slice

that of the First World War that

the malfunctions were not 10 for 7 al

10 percent but rather 50 percent

because these this estimates these

numbers because even today at a distance of

one hundred years people are still hurting

dying informal data speak of 10

accidents per year caused by these

unexploded bombs

so this data must do us

reflect

but how a bomb is made a bomb does not

it is nothing but a container where

inside there is a chemical substance

which is called explosive but this

substance alone can not boast

he needs something that comes to him

from the outside that something that i

comes from outside it takes shape on

these metal containers with gods

buttons that you will call switch

button that we technically call

quill for plane bombs for i

rockets for missiles or devices

ignition for a hand grenade

or pressure plate or button

pressure for a mine

but the substance does not change what happens

when we go to act

on the switch the substance starts to

decompose the tea with bags from

substance releases free energy

energy in the form of pressure and below

heat form

this expression and this warmth

they will be used to split these

containers and projecting splinters a

distance to 360 degrees at distances that

they go depending on how big the

container then we will have big bombs

like the one you saw in the slide

plane bomb we will have bombs of

medium size like grenades

artillery a mortar bomb e

we’ll have smaller bombs you have one

steering wheel of 70 80 grams of explosive that

they are the most dangerous so there is not

you must be deceived by greatness

because many times the greatness is already

synonym of danger because one

He sees something big like a bomb

great fear gets away those

small many times they are not seen and

so they are the most dangerous

who has the competence to solve

this problem is competence

entrusted to the Italian army already by the

from the end of the second conflict

World began this work of

recovery of these unexploded bombs and from

today they have been recovered

many just to give you an idea the

2016 only in the central north were

1260 interventions carried out

this means an average of three o

four interventions a day

intervention and a bomb is not reported

an intervention can be reported as well

a 20 30 bombs just to give you an idea

these 1260

interventions was the equivalent of

6,000 devices collected only during the year

2016

what does this word mean

land reclamation reclamation does not mean

other are nothing more than those

operations that we must put in place

since the bomb is found

type in the slide you see behind the

my shoulders you see a structure one

sort of thing that is gigantic something

of gigantic something gigantic in

something to make the bomb is

accidentally exploded when we go to

put your hands to remove the part

sensitive that is the quill that you

call button switch like it

you want to call is a moment more

delicate is the moment that must be

wait, something can happen

obviously when we implement all of them

these procedures create inconveniences and vi

I apologize in the name of all

blasters of Italy which are these

hardships are evacuation of neighborhoods

whole closures of roads prohibition of

fly over and so on

the problem we have to guarantee

the security

security is guaranteed only in that

moment in that way

so they are real

war exercises

now let’s move on to the story of

protagonist of my story

who is the bomb maker the bomb man

he is nothing but a man a soldier

the bomb man the fireman like him

you want to call the goal that you

prefects what is the goal that you

It aims to make the world in which we live

safer as a man because being

man and a family father hopes to

leave the best to his children like

soldier because of the obligation towards the

institutions and like the man of the bombs

blaster because it has been trained

It is formed for that kind of problem

what is the challenge the daily challenge

of our protagonist are the

unexploded bombs

if we challenge, we can call it because

in the challenges there are those who win and those who lose

the protagonist of my story is

always forced to always win

the opponent the opponent is the time

that has been a lot

the unknown the unexpected the surprise the

at stake the stakes are the

responsibility

and when it comes to responsibility yes

he talks about a man and like all men

live different feelings since

approach to the unexploded bomb at

moment that must destroy the bomb

unexploded

at the beginning they are feelings of fear

fear that something can happen, fear

that something could happen to them

afraid that something can go wrong

in the end it is the feelings of states

different moods such as joy

satisfaction and everything went smoothly

so you come home

but from those who helped ours

protagonist to perform at best the

his work certainly from the studio

training courses definitely helped

in addition to the study of the experience that is

matures over the years and not least is

helped by the technology here we have a

example of our technology we have

our friend teddy is greeting to

guests where he wants to greet

well we return to us in the end the

protagonist of my story makes one

reflection and say a time were those

less fortunate who went to look for them

bombs because there was hunger misery

poverty

so it was done for work

despite knowing the risk

because anyway they had lived the

war but now at this time for one

better tomorrow

you need what you need most

awareness is needed more

information to minimize the risk

of these accidental explosions e

however, the army is there and will be there

always and I hope today in this

there are 700 or 700 in front of me

spectators but if doing ambassadors

that have to go around and tell

to prevent these happen

accidents thanks good uomore the games

[Applause]
