()
About this ebook
Questo libro e’ scritto in due lingue, Italiano e Inglese.
The death chamber, the sea chanting, the shouts, the thrusts of the harpoons, the thrashing of tons of tuna fish, the turbulence of the waters, the traditional bath of the tuna fishermen as they dived into the blood-red waters as a final act of thanksgiving for a good catch are all echoes of the past! This is to never forget the glorious period of sicilian history and the Mattanza, demonstrating the Mediterranean fisherman’s labor, sacrifice, inventiveness and audacity. La camera della morte, I canti, le grida, il fruscio degli arpioni, l’ammasso di tonnellate di tonni, la turbulenza del mare, il tradizionale bagno nel sangue del tonno, sono eco del passato! Tutto questo per non mai dimenticare un periodo glorioso di storia siciliana, La Mattanza, e’ dimostrazione del lavoro, inventivita’, sacrifici e audacia dei tonnoroti.

Prefazione
Le mattanze in Sicilia sono finite da molti anni. Le tonnare sono diventate musei. Un capitolo si è chiuso, un’epoca di ricca e gloriosa storia siciliana è finito. E, così come i musei servono a conservare le memorie del passato, questo libro fotografico vuole essere un libro-ricordo, scritto e illustrato per non dimenticare avvenimenti e uomini che per secoli, con duro lavoro e sacrificio, hanno dato alla Sicilia notorietà e ricchezza. E’ un libro che raccoglie oltre 140 foto a colori sulle tonnare e sulle mattanze di Favignana e Bonagia e di altre minori. Le immagini crude e violente della camera della morte a Favignana sono il fulcro dell’intera narrazione fotografica che, partendo dalla memoria delle strutture delle antiche tonnare, delle imbarcazioni e degli strumenti impiegati, degli uomini, principali protagonisti della mattanza colti nei più intensi momenti di fatica e di passione,
