BATTLE OF THE FIRST CATEGORY
Carnival Viareggio 2009 "Migrants"
Alessandro Avanzini
Take a completely new and delicate theme for the Carnival of Viareggio the manufacturer Avanzini: illegal immigration. A real emergency of our time that causes, unfortunately, many deaths, as evidenced by the daily news. The construction will stage a huge wreck, as big as the platform of the wagon. On the front of a slender figure: represent a sort of Charon ferries the battered ship to destinations not defined. On board the wreck will place the figures that, with special costumes and choreography, will represent the mood of migrants.
"I see, I expect and dotes"
Massimo Breschi
is the political satire, but in the middle of the wagon is not the government of the day. The main character of the building is a giant story teller, in the midst of the political storm between the center-right government and the shadow of the center, begins to make predictions about the fate of Italy. And foresight is far from rosy. "I see Italy broken by many problems, I see a country condemned to despair, I see the Italians in a large cauldron," seems to say the sorceress that spares no criticism of the "king" to the command - he says - is "small, naked and does not care about" the kingdom.
"Power wears out those who did not have"
of Jonathan Francesconi
The title borrows a phrase that became famous from the more active political Belpaese: Giulio Andreotti. Il Divo Giulio, after years of neglect becomes the absolute protagonist of an allegorical construction. Francesconi and Jonathan, the author of the wagon, he returned to try their hand at political satire, after some experiments several years ago. But why take it with the seven-time Prime Minister? Because "he is yet." "It 's hidden behind piles of old furniture, chairs, mirrors, cabinets and many other frills, but there is still admonishes the manufacturer. As if to say, so many years have passed since his last assignment, we have gone from first to second and even the Third Republic, however, he is always there. "But it's real or a clone?" Begs the question.
"Those who think well for others ..."
Gilbert Lebigre Corinne and Roger
Geese and towers. Unusual a pairing as proposed by the Company on the bandwagon of the Carnival. The construction will remove huge circular artifacts, real towers, the accumulation of objects, built by people without identity, of self-replicating, which overshadowed the oblivion of consumerism think only the increase in the volume of the towers. On the walls of these buildings, many eyes in relief and objects of various shapes and sizes. On top of the towers will test dummies made of cardboard and recycled material. In addition to these sculptures of different characters intent on watching tv. In the midst of this scene bursts a curious flock of geese squawking, ready to catch whatever they find. For this Lebigre construction of the spouses will be the cooperation of students of the Art "Stage" of Pietrasanta.

"E ... lick ... lick ... the cow ate the calf"
Alfredo Ricci
Construction is a biting satire about the economic, as well as political, Italy. At the center of the cart is positioned a huge cow that is our Republic. 'S where sunk into a huge and flaky golden chair. He stands with his tongue out, protected by two cuirassiers. Would have a great craving to lick your calf, which in this case is the Italian people, to whom, however, remained only a skeleton hanging. There is nothing left to lick. Today - warns the manufacturer - we have to pay anything for the poor and the Italian people is reduced to the bone.
"Tribute to Uberto Bonetti: one hundred years to remember "
Bonetti brothers Renato and Verlanti
The building is a clear and deserved tribute to the father of Burlamacco. Not only that, because the car wants to make the proper recognition, including papier mache, futurist and skillful caricaturist who was Uberto Bonetti. The artist has certainly left a great legacy to the city. The car wants to sum up, as only a construction allegorical can do, this great artistic and cultural reality.
