Event #9
Giulio Boccaletti
Stand sill, while water flows all around
It all began ten thousand years ago when we and our nature of sedentary people faced a world of moving water for the first time. Societies developed struggling against floods, drought, storms – powerful water expressions of the climate system. That millenary struggle, led by the illusion to control our environment, transformed our territory. Deeply rooted in our past, it shaped institutions: democracy, republic, legal systems, even monotheism. Our history has an indissoluble bond with water. Today the climate is moving on a global scale and the distribution of water on the planet is changing with it. Before these enormous challenges, the past still has something to teach to help us face our future.
