La raccolta dei rifiuti a Fregene, comune di Fiumicino

Ho ereditato una villa a Fregene, comune di Fiumicino, provincia di Roma. Dal momento in cui ho assunto la piena proprietà mi sono dovuto far carico di pagare la tassa per la raccolta dei rifiuti. Tassa non proprio economica, pago quasi 1500 euro l'anno, anche se la casa è quasi sempre disabitata.

Gentile signor Marco Carnovale, non ci risultano problematiche particolari del servizio prenotazioni per il ritiro di ingombranti. Le rimettiamo in allegato i contatti e gli orari previsti per richiedere il servizio e concordare l'appuntamento con la società, in indirizzo per conoscenza, che svolge il servizio. Cordiali saluti

- Numero (da cellulare): 06 65.22.920
attivi dal lunedì al sabato dalle ore 09.00 alle ore 14.00

Cosa puoi smaltire e in che quantità?
Puoi smaltire ingombranti come: armadi, divani, materassi, poltrone, sedie, scrivanie... oppure i RAEE (Rifiuti di Apparecchiature Elettriche ed Elettroniche) come: frigoriferi, monitor, televisori, lavatrici, scaldabagni...

Puoi richiedere il ritiro gratuito a domicilio gratuito entro il limite di 2 mc a ritiro (esempio, 2 pezzi quali frigorifero,armadio a 2 ante, lavatrice, tavolo) per un massimo di 5 mc/anno.

Solo che al telefono non rispondeva mai nessuno. Anzi per essere precisi: durante gli orari di apertura degli uffici la linea era sempre occupata, durante gli orari di chiusura, ovviamente, la linea era libera ma non rispondeva mai nessuno.

Dopo qualche giorno la conferma per email. Le confermo l'appuntamento per il 4 Novembre, entro le 12 il divano deve essere esposto fuori l'abitazione sul piano stradale, il ritiro avverrà dopo le 12. Il divano deve essere lineare senza angoli o penisole.

In un'altra occasione dovevo liberarmi di una vecchia lavatrice. Insieme alla lavatrice, mi dissero, può mettere solo 2 mobiletti per via del limite quantitativo concesso. La parola concesso mi ricorda di quando andavo a scuola dai preti, e a fine anno mi davano una medaglietta per il buon profitto dicendo che mi era stata concessa. Non che me l'ero guadagnata. E qui pure mi concedono di ritirare i miei rifiuti, invece di dire che stanno facendo il loro dovere dato che pago le tasse comunali e loro lavorano per me. 

E meno male che non ho divani con angoli o penisole.

FIlm review: Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky (2009) by Jan Kounen, ****

Synopsys

In 1913 the first performance of the ballet “Le sacre du printemps” took place in Paris. The composer, Igor Stravinsky, is whistled for his radically new music. But in the audience there is a woman who is intoxicated by the dissonant rhythms and feels that this music is just as groundbreaking as her fashion creations: Coco Chanel. 

Seven years passed before the choreographer Sergej Diagilew introduced Coco to Igor Stravinsky, who had since fled Russia to Paris. Coco Chanel invites the penniless composer to live with his lung-sick wife and children in their luxurious villa in Garches and to revisit his spring sacrifice there while she creates the first synthetic perfume with Chanel No. 5. The novel is apparently based on a true story: Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky actually had an affair.

Review

A captivating story of two icons of the XX century, coming from two entirely different worlds (fashion and music) but sharing a revolutionary approach to

their work. Strawinsky owes his professional survival to a woman who almost destroys his family.

Film review: Queen of the Desert (2015) by Werner Herzog, *****

Synopsys

Gertrude Bell, a daughter of wealthy British parents, has no interest in the social life of the London elite. Balls, receptions and the British aristocracy bring her only boredom. She wants to study, learn and above all see the world.

Aspiring to have at least some kind of activity in her life, Gertrude decides to find freedom and move to be with her uncle, who occupies a high diplomatic position in Tehran. From Iran she moves on to Amman and Damascus, some of the main political centers in the crumbling Ottoman Empire.

So begins her lifelong adventure across the Arab world, a journey marked by danger, a passionate affair with a British officer, Henry Cadogan, and an encounter with the legendary T.E. Lawrence.

With an all-star cast, including Nicole Kidman, Robert Pattinson, Damien Lewis and James Franco, Queen of the Desert is the uplifting, inspiring and extraordinary true story of one woman who, against all odds, changed the course of history.


Review

A gripping historical film on the life of an extraordinary woman who carved the life she wanted out of a hard world made for men.

We learn a lot about life in the latter part of the Turkish occupation of what is now Jordan and Iraq, areas where nomads roamed free without borders and ancient religions perpetuated irreconcilable conflicts.

Never seeking power she ended up making political decisions that are still relevant in the Middle East a century later. It would have been interesting if the movie had shown why she helped certain tribes rise to power through British help and not others. In the end, a successful but unhappy woman who spent most of her life alone.

Film review: Naked Island (1960), by Kaneto Shindo, ****

Synopsis

Filmed on the virtually deserted Setonaikai archipelago in south-east Japan, Naked Island was made in the words of its director "as a 'cinematic poem' to try and capture the life of human beings struggling like ants against the forces of nature". Kaneto Shindo, director of Onibaba (MoC #13) and Kuroneko (MoC #14), made the film with his own production company, Kindaï Eiga Kyokai, who were facing financial ruin at the time. Using one-tenth of the average budget, Shindo took one last impassioned risk to make this film. With his small crew, they relocated to an inn on the island of Mihari where, for two months in early 1964, they would make what they considered to be their last film.

Naked Island tells the story of a small family unit and their subsistence as the only inhabitants of an arid, sun-baked island. Daily chores, captured as a series of cyclical events, result in a hypnotizing, moving, and beautiful film harkening back to the silent era. With hardly any dialogue, Shindo combines the stark 'Scope cinematography of Kiyoshi Kuroda with the memorable score of his constant collaborator Hikaru Hayashi, to make a unique cinematic document.

Shindo, who had worked with both Kenji Mizoguchi and Kon Ichikawa, shot to international fame with the astounding Children of Hiroshima (1952). Eight years later, the BAFTA-nominated Naked Island won the Grand Prix at Moscow International Film Festival (where Luchino Visconti was a jury member). It is now considered to be one of Shindo's major works, and its success saved his film company from bankruptcy. The experience of making Naked Island led Shindo to appreciate 'collective film production', and has been his preferred method of making films ever since. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to release Naked Island for the first time on home video in the UK.


Review

A strange film in many ways: itis not a silent movie but all you hear is background noises and the desperate cry of a woman when she loses her son. Few other words are uttered in the film. The story of a couple and their two sons on an island off the coast of Japan in the immediate post-war years. They have to row their way to the mainland several times a day to fetch fresh water, take the kids to school, buy necessities.

It is a very repetitive film, with scenes of rowing and carrying buckets of water displayed over and over again, but in a way I think it has to be to depict such a lifestyle. Imagine how repetitive it must have been for real people who had to suffer through this. Having said that, it is perhaps a bit too repetitive!

Beautiful photography in black and white.
