2010

I supported a consulting company, providing a fast-track GPS survey plan (concerning approximately 30000 points of interest on half of an Italian region), and subsequently handled the post-processing of the collected data to create geographic data layers.

Palla 21 at the Art of Play – rationale

Projects,

Motivations – and what happened

(Note: the full Italian text has not yet been translated for this page, but you can look up the Italian version here). See also the two-minute documentary trailer:

The initiative originated when we learned about a call for proposals to submit events for the Art of Play, organised by the City of Chicago.

We decided to submit two different events.

  1. Palla 21
  2. Traditional Italian card games

Why Palla 21 ?

  • the game has a strong “local” character, as it it clearly related to a specific area of Italy, while maintaining relationships with similar games in other parts of Italy and Europe.
  • in addition to being a sport, the game also has a strong social component, as it leads people of different ages to collaborate
  • it has interesting implications in relation to sustainable development: the game has in fact an almost null environmental impact, as it is played in the squares of villages, with no need for additional infrastructure, and since the ball is built with mostly with recycled material.
  • it is a way of establishing and/or consolidating relationships with people and organisations beyond the area of Maremma

Why traditional Italian card games ?

Why not ? …these are nice games!
