“Il turismo abbatte i muretti” | Paolo Pastorino | TEDxAlessandria


[Music]

the barriers the walls are spoken of exist

we find them around us

above all I think the guys that

they have the maturity in these days there

they have phrases in their heads like terror

as an exam theme , clearly not

they will now be a predicted state

spot on topics but barriers

we often find them before we create them

sometimes we find ourselves even

to see them consider them almost inevitable

almost obvious

It also happens that we see them maybe

created by others but that do not give you

nuisance

or we create them ourselves or them

we consider normal but the barriers do not

they are never normal barriers isolate us

they do not protect us

if you think a barrier can

protect you maybe from the fake one

feeling of autarky that area of

comfort that little golden castle

that little fortress in which we are there

We feel confident others from outside

they see the wall see a beautiful environment

they see a well- painted wall but everything is

stop there we think about the barriers that

maybe we see in the image of the genre

and it has not a panorama we can not see

with ends we do not see barriers if

we looked at these images from the

satellite of our mountains

we would not see any of our hills

barriers

if we look at the map we see some

lines pulled perhaps by political historians

cartographers certain artificial thinkers

times but that create obstacles

so what can we do at this point

to say something about the barrier

we can overcome it is worth doing

we see that maybe in some cases it is one

help is an incitement one

satisfaction overcome barriers

arrived more or less actually the

my average age let’s call it a few

I’m actually trucchetto

I too invented in work in life

private and maybe even like a little

all maybe I built some created

obstacle apple tree are created some

obstacle arrives at certain times when

maybe the dissatisfaction the sense of

impotence even in work tells you well

I must overcome this barrier

to make the jump I have to overcome also the

fear the remorse that I myself may or

it’s a test

who throws himself jumped and maybe says

okay look was not so bad

how did this thing look like and one starts to

charging my state was a balzana idea

that had been turning for some time

in the head I was talking to maybe having dinner with him

friends put you to chat and not

because maybe he has friends

particularly well arranged or

condescending to me but

they told me to the test thrown because not

you can try talking at some point

one decides to go and gets spoiled

work on putting passion on it

commitment , enthusiasm and you throw yourself

clearly along the way you gather

the enthusiasts collect those that you

damage charge collects even the critics

the critics are those who then eventually

they present you with barriers to which

maybe you did not even think that

they are also very important ones the

my leap of the working barrier does not

it was really very simple and I arrived

from a world of telecommunications

of information technology for large companies

multinationals and I have passed tourism

apparently talking about it with all the

days is lucky and more fun

nicer

stay in the open air yes it’s true it is

clear that between a desk and a monitor

and going around the countryside is beautiful

what but what happened and what I have

collected stories

I met people I collected stories

of people who have passed faced

barriers of the territory of the

people around him

I’m from Turin but I have strong roots here

in our hills with ferrata

monferrato alessandrino astigiano langhe

I know them well and for the reasons there is

behind my idea has decided well

starting here to start working on

these territories because because the

piedmont but not only piedmont has

especially in the world of tourism

unexplored resources important resources

human resources important human resources

of people who have ideas that passionate that

He wants to do something for the

territory for itself and to create a network

I met very beautiful stories but

those most successful those most

important were those of people who

they have opened agritourism companies

successful biodynamic estates

very beautiful farms have become

beekeepers have opened activities of

service for the tourists coming from

not even from the countryside coming from the

city coming from the work of

executives in bank executives of companies

computer scientists responsible for marketing

soap opera actors from a certain point

they saw barriers in front of them

in life at work and decided to

overcome them and show others that

possible they opened up to the territory

they tried to create networks of

enter the community of the territory

then going to the territory and knowing

and talking to people you see that there

other things are what we say that

i’m small it’s beautiful

the tour is nice yes there are some

small well-made beautiful realities either

in human terms that just maybe

social or territorial physicists

little is nice but sometimes it does

staying small keeps small not

creates the real community the little one

sometimes a fear maybe at the base

at the base maybe the fear that they will steal us

that little idea and the neighbors

they know what we have

protected and built and therefore the year

next, do something like that

or that those 12 tourists go to

they and maybe we do not think about it

proliferation of the festival in certain

periods of the year

it’s fine people have chances of

go out but at a certain point it is up to you

let’s talk about

maybe if we agree we can

to do something really beautiful

interesting I collected dozens of

anecdotes and strange things come to me

mind, for example, an owner is beautiful

of a farmhouse of a bed and

breakfast in our hills

he told me, look at the tourists come here

for the first time they see this

valletta a country on the other side me

they ask for information asking me how

you call me asking what happens and

what’s there to see?

events activities and me

arrangia tells me I try to do the

possible but not always on all things

that happen for a simple reason

because in addition to Valletta there is another

province or another has happened

country of 400 inhabitants meeting the

people tell me you know here they are well

three associations that do business

cultural events on this country doing

a bit of bridges 400 inhabitants remove the

young people in children’s pastures

disinterested in the elderly those who

they work away those who are not

residents because the second home to the

end 10 12 people remain for maybe

the association is therefore small maybe

nice but it remains small then there was maybe

you saw that video on the internet

viral right of the classic barrier

then sliding gate with dogs that

they barked two groups of dogs that yes

the gate barked very strongly

he kept on flowing the moment he came

the dogs are perfectly open

they are turned and left

and this is what happens

the barrier creates this feeling of

I’m strong I’m beautiful but then in moments

where I have to communicate really happens

something different so let’s think about the

instead we think about what

can unite and not separate think about

our hills to our territory here

I talked about langa and monferrato

we think of the tourists who come here and you

let’s show the hills maybe there

we speak of high langa low langa high

monferrato low monferrato we did a

poll

probably the boundaries are not clear

but the names are often well known we think

but then at this point he has how

we can combine what certain barriers

virtual or real have divided

let’s think about the paths from

roads to cycle paths to routes

for riding

we think of waterways even when

they do not do damage

we think of railways to railways

abandoned but above all we think of the

human capital to the people who are on the

territory with their passions with

their cravings we think a craftsman who

maybe he does not want his job

your knowledge for knowledge yes

despair would be happy to teach

a small art to a Danish family

we think of an arbor that knows the

herbs in the area and then makes known the

territory just to be able to

to live better

we think I do not know a photographer who

He knows well his own village at

just corners and maybe take tourists to

make particular photos a little unique

we think of the yoga teacher that

maybe instead of staying in a gym

makes a vineyard an oasis of peace

the amateur amateur astronomer who

leads into the dark corner of the village

of the tourists fraction to look at them

stars that are not visible in the city

so we think about these things that there

join together think about how we present the

territory we present our land

we present our hills

a tourist when he looks at a view

like this and how there are so many

in our parts you do not see with purpose but

he does not want to see them he has no interest in

know what ends up like never you do not

communicate what happens revises the beauty

of what there is then try to

make this jump

let’s try to make the leap that makes us

go on to say I’ll be available

of the community I create this network around

to me I make sure that my little one

join the others to grow up

fortunately in the tourism world

Italy is a lucky world we have to

available a lot of things already

ready we have nature

we have the cultural assets we have the

our territory as a whole but

it was the human element that binds

truly territory and breaks down the

barriers is the human element is

certainly the fundamental ingredient

to break down the barriers

thank you
