The complex business of living-Maghenzani was demolished: no longer exists. This is perhaps the last photo that shows him, now deserted and abandoned, in total disuse. How James Hillman writes, even the places have a soul. This complex
certainly had a lot of anime.
Imagine the life of a distributor of fuel on the Via Emilia, from the late '40s, with all the passing cars and trucks. With the nearby tavern, habitual especially truck drivers. And the vast network of distributors in the province, and even beyond, to which was attached to it and were headed. And there was, if memory serves me right, the distribution of gas cylinders. Besides, although the picture can be seen as soon as the hangar for maintenance and cleaning.
Imagine how many people went there and how many people we have worked operators that have taken place when the owners have left the direct management, the boys who worked in the summer to make up some money.
Imagine then the big house, very nice, sure to be restored, which still could continue to live: the hundreds of people who have visited, which rose and went down the stairs, who lived in and through it.
In that place, full of souls have become intertwined stories of who knows how many people!
stories that ran on the road, travel, trade, business, but also events that were born in the house: for example, the musical experiments ...
You could tell the story of Bicester and perhaps Italy after World War II to today, the story of three generations of villagers and the Italians, taking as inspiration center, between the realistic and the imaginary, the complex of "modernism" (I will not say yet archeology) architectural industry-which now the bulldozers have swept away forever.
We need someone with the appropriate talent and the right knowledge of the facts to write a great novel, or even more than one. A good writer, maybe we would derive a great saga of the Buddenbrooks.
I, as an expert in collapses and demolitions, certainly does not possess the skills and knowledge I have not even enough, but why not hope that someone should bear the noble undertaking?
Moreover, a good director would be able to make it a chapter of a large Italian-style road movie, and who knows what else
o.
Maybe an artist Borghigiano could at least have had the inspiration to capture it all when it was still in full swing, giving us a picture in the atmosphere of a piece of our memory, as happens when you admire a masterpiece like "Gas" (1940) by Edward Hopper, an evocative look at an intense phase of development of our Western civilization.

PS: since I'm at it, I would say that has since been demolished a Another fine example of modern industrial city. This is the "New central water distribution", built, if I remember correctly, in the 60s. It was located right next to Casa Rabaiotti, Via Baracca, Olaf Palme street corner, where there is a red rectangle on the map.
I do not have photos of the building, but I know who has very good memory and that has linked a significant portion of her life at places like this.
In its place will rise yet another housing estate.
course, it needed more time. The water distribution network now follows other paths.
However, if the logic was to reduce the only practical dell'inservibilità-t
ECHNICAL and continued destruction / production of things, you can begin to fear that many more beautiful buildings, historical, "full of soul", will be demolished in the future to make room for fruits of economic growth. If the reckless not hesitate to destroy the fertile land south of the city (it takes hundreds of years to rebuild the withered humus, let alone buried in concrete!), Which can never be compared to houses, buildings, warehouses, and other buildings now "useless"?
