Summary
View of Turin during a foggy day, from Europa park, placed in Cavoretto, just few minutes by car from the city.
Story Text
Turin, north Italy, january 2023.
Foggy day, typical of this big town, placed in a plain below Alps.
When I woke up under clouds, I recognized presence of low clouds, with the sun shining on the top of some hills, so I went to Europa Park (Cavoretto), very near to the city, but high enough to stay above clouds.
The famous Piedmont Region skyscrape, was emerging from the fog. Someone call it an ecomonster, and I think the same. It is defined eco friendly, but I don't believe in this "green" trend, in my opinion is only a way to stole money to people, changing their habits and making them poorer. Yes, global temperature is increasing, as pollution in the same way, but in many cases we refer to "green" only to wash our dirty consciousness. Green or not, our capitalistic world never been truly sustainable.
Anyway, World Green Building Council has given to this building an award to be one of the most higher building with high standards of eco-sustainability.
I prefer nother point of view, from which only woods and mountains are visibile, lost in the fog.
I love how clouds can create other places, transforming reality.
I call these places a 'no place', where things loose their physical coordinates, they can be everywhere. A 'no place', where soul can take a breathe and borders are given by imagination.
Fog was like a breathe of God, or an oceanic wave.
Faraway, the huge Monviso. The name "Monviso" come from Latin "Mons Vesulus", which means "clearly visible mountain", because of it is well recognizable from many distant places, due to its height (3.841 meters high).
The tower bell you see is "San Pietro in Vincoli" church, which recalls the liberation of St. Peter by an Angel at the time of his first imprisonment.
