La donna di montagna che vive come 100 anni fa
THE PILLOW
1,243,793 views
Giuseppina is a woman who grew up in the mountains, totally disconnected from the outside world.
We're in Val Seriana, there's no road leading straight to her old stone house, and she has no phone, radio, or TV. We got in touch with her thanks to some locals.
"How come you came from so far away?" she asks us, blown away by the distance we traveled to meet her.
Right off the bat, we step into a world that's alien to the modern one—a simple, real, and tough world. Inside the house, there's no kitchen or stove, just a fireplace that heats up the room where she eats. The bedroom, like the rest of the house, isn't heated. On cold winter nights, she tells us she just throws on more blankets to stay warm—she even got up to sixteen of them.
She spends the whole day outside, always working, from morning to night, ever since she was a little girl. In fact, she's never done anything else her whole life. Watching her chop wood, fetch logs from the forest, take care of the cows, and gather dry leaves with an old basket—these are everyday moments that really leave a mark on us. We're deeply struck by the willpower and independence of a woman living in another era, who feels lost when she looks at the city down in the valley, and finds herself in the bare essentials of an old, hard, and genuine life.

Lei è rimasta pietra e radice: granitica nel cuore, autentica nel respiro.
Non ha respinto l'ombra del passato, ingombrante e faticoso, ma lo ha preso per mano. In quel labirinto di ferite ha trovato il suo altrove, una prospettiva che appartiene solo a lei e un’anima che brilla di una purezza antica.
Non ha scelto la fuga, ma l’abbraccio. Ha imparato a fiorire nel recinto della sua condizione, senza inseguire chimere che avrebbero spento la sua luce, corrompendo la rara bellezza di chi, restabilendo se stessa, ha finalmente trovato casa.
Può essere che per molti di noi poter vivere momenti come vive lei possa regalarci attimi di felicità, ma con la consapevolezza di aver scelto un cambiamento, diverso viverlo come unica possibilità.
Faccio il cardiochirurgo è vivo ritmi frenetici tutti i giorni o quasi e quando vedo queste persone in video fortemente la loro condizione di libertà.
Non riesco a fare a meno di pensare al domani perché il tempo non perdona e l'appoggio di una comunità' può diventare importante, mi piacerebbe saperla in compagnia di qualche amica che viva li' con lei per potersi aiutare reciprocamente in caso di bisogno. Le auguro tutto il bene del mondo .
Auguro a Giuseppina tanto bene.❤❤❤❤
C’è una differenza importante tra questa storia e quella di coloro che, a un certo punto della loro vita, hanno scelto di abbandonare la “civiltà” e ritirarsi in questi luoghi.
Lei ci è nata, ci è vissuta da sempre: non è una “turista” di quel mondo, ma una cittadina a pieno diritto.
E forse anche per questo, non lo vede come una favola, ma come una vita vera, con tutti i suoi pregi e i suoi difetti (ad esempio confessa che “póta questo mestiere…non si vive”).
Grazie di questa splendida storia!
E siccome in bergamasco non esiste la parola “Addio”, allora diremo: ciao Giuseppina, Àn se èt!
