This is one of the houses that will be demolished to make space to the railway. The banner reads “Here sentenced to death by the TAV�.
I walk past a No TAV event, a luch made to raise money to pay the laywers for the many trials that the activists are going through.
The signs of the No TAV movement are part of the landscape. There are graffiti, flags, stickers and large banners. I found a total of 273 signs, 102 of which are around the construction site in Chiomonte, in the upper part of the Susa valley.
The No TAV movement is very various in its composition: environmentalists associations, common citizens and families, local politicians, activists from social centers, anarchists, catholics, intellectuals and so on. It includes three generations, from granparents to teenagers.
