It is no coincidence that Pigneto, more than a neighborhood, is a "city within the city". It is country, community, belonging, desire for identification with a world that speaks of past and future".
Gaia Marnetto, art historian and expert in diagnostics of Cultural Heritage who, for over ten years has collaborated in national and international projects to the cultural promotion of the most economically fragile territories, was born and raised in the Prati district, but since - three years ago - it moved to Pigneto, it has been overwhelmed by the "human dimension" of "zero kilometer relationships".
«The artisans and shopkeepers – explains Gaia Marnetto – recognize me on the street and greet me, not only if I enter their shops, as well as the neighbors and other inhabitants of the neighborhood who, in everyday life, live – in the positive meaning of the term – the pride in being inhabitants of Pigneto, a strong sense of belonging that has now disappeared in almost the entire metropolis".
Don Pietro (Aldo Fabrizi) and Anna Magnani (Pina) in “Roma città Aperta” by Roberto Rossellini
Passionate, intense and scrupulous research contained in a volume full of photos taken by the author herself, dates, data, historical reconstructions and news events that make it a precious volume for its originality. When we talk about history we refer to the glorious past of the eternal city: from the eccentric tomb of the baker Eurysaces, redeemed from slavery, to the Prenestine tower, the third largest mausoleum in Rome. From the aqueducts, including the Felice one, which at the end of the sixteenth century brought running water to the large villa of Pope Sixtus V, and then became a support for the barracks in Via del Mandrione which hosted those evicted by Mussolini from the historic centre.
Pigneto is It was also the natural set for “Roma città Aperta” (1945), Roberto Rossellini's masterpiece, starring Anna Magnani and Aldo Fabrizi, considered one of the most famous and representative works of Italian cinematographic neorealism.
Lucio Battisti
From 1945 15 films were shot in the neighborhood: “Bellissima” (1951) by Luchino Visconti, “La Domenica della Buona Gente” (1953) by Anton Giulio Majano, “Il Ferroviere” (1956) by Pietro Germi, “Il Tetto” ( 1956) by Vittorio De Sica, “Accattone” (1961) by Pier Paolo Pasolini, up to Fantozzi. And not just cinema. Lucio Battisti was born in Poggio Bustone, but since he was 7 years old he had lived at number 35 via Prenestino, in an eight-storey building where his family had settled in 1950. And this story of Lucio, in many ways unpublished, which focuses on the guitar, neglecting his studies as an electrician, is all worth reading: in Gaia Marnetto's book.
