„Welcome
to the National Park of Cilento
and Vallo di Diano.“ |
|
| This is
the friendly and inviting greeting on the signboards as you enter this
simply magnificent region which believers would acknowledge to the grace
of God and agnostics would see as nature’s way of expressing its
creative abilities.
A shrine, an immeasureable holder of thousands of treasures, represented
by a mixture of realities ranging from an environment which is still
intact, uncontaminated and wild to a work of art in a remote and recent
past, which reveals history and makes it become part of a daily
chronicle alive in the stones which today tell the tale of an era with
neither time nor borders. And yet these works of nature are still objects which are hidden to the
human eye. Mankind has been unable to discover them and they remain
speechless and unheard. The thoughtless- ness of the people and the
resulting damage is obvious. Walking along the completely natural paths
cut out by weather and time, but certainly not as nature inteneded them
to be, since what one can see is continually spoiled, it is clear that
far too many forests have become places to deposit rubbish, refuse; it
is evident in that very moment, when we notice that not only faith , but
also art and tradition have disappeared for the sake of and due to
unrestricted progress claiming rights which it does not have, in the
name of no matter which civilisation.
