How and to what extent the energy efficiency of buildings is changing the market
The First Report CRESME - SAIE ENERGY AND BUILDINGS: WHAT IS GOING ON? How and to what extent the energy efficiency of buildings is changing the market
and observation to quantify the economic impact of technological processes and the dynamics of supply and demand are driving the construction market. And 'This is the main objective of the First Report on ENERGY AND BUILDINGS SAIENERGIA promoted by and implemented by CRESME presented at the opening of Saie 2009.
"The core research - says the CEO of CRESME Lorenzo Bellicini - is to analyze the market that directly impacts the building and construction sector. We have set ourselves a number of questions and the answers we sought. For example, weighs on the market for energy-saving closures transparent? About 6 million windows made in 2009? Glazed systems, systems of screening? As for closures on the mat? About 46 million square feet of walls to be carried out despite the crisis? We have a specific section devoted to the effects on production and market of air conditioning, heating and cooling. We estimate that in 2009 you are just replacing some 900,000 persons and facilities which we have analyzed the changes in the choice of boilers or new plants and how these choices alter the energy performance. Special attention we devoted to the automation and control and to meet alternative energy sources to oil ...."
And what are the results being achieved in new construction and upgrading of existing assets? "Italy is a country lagging behind compared to the" climate package "based on the European Union aimed at saving 20-20-20 a progressive reduction of CO2 emissions, so that we were condemned to pay penalties of € 550 million. And we know that the greatest contribution to the savings and reduction of CO2 emissions, potentially comes from its energy recovery work on the park's existing buildings. Suffice it to only the example of the retrofit retained at the time of ordinary and extraordinary maintenance, which would be able to save 57.1 GWh in 2016 and already almost 83.8 GWh in 2020, taking into account only the residential and tertiary sectors. A result which accounts for almost 64% of total energy savings assumed in the year. " The Report describes the potential savings of different technological solutions and design, to understand and assess to what extent the different construction methods are able to get closer to emerging from the most recent and thorough analysis that highlight how an optimal exposure of the building will save around 3% of energy consumption. Again an example helps to understand the great potential existing in the industry and that the solutions are actually at hand: a cost of 380 € / sqm for the purchase of thermal insulating windows you are able to reduce by 18% Co2 emissions. An investment that, for the purchase of glasses "low-emissivity", which pays for itself in 10 years. Some important effects of the measures taken steps to see. For example, the effect of the introduction of the "tariff" has resulted in the production of energy from solar photovoltaics, although still limited, an increase of 395% from 39 GWh to 139 GWh.
Reduction of CO2 delays Italy The "climate package" of the European Commission 20-20-20 (20% of consumption covered by renewable energy, -20% greenhouse gas emissions, improvement of 20% energy efficiency) to be implemented by 2020 for Italy provides a reduction of -14% of the CO2 emissions compared to 2005 and total production from renewable sources 17% of final energy consumption. The reduction greenhouse gas emissions must include the 20% by energy-intensive sectors (ETS), but also the 13% of non-ETS sectors. With this measure, it is investing an obligation to reduce emissions even families (consumption habits) and buildings (production, consumption and efficiency). Already this year, Italy is in default with respect to emissions and must pay fines to the EU 555 million euros. Also in the consumption of renewable energy Italy appears to lag behind the target of 17% in 2020 because, in 2006 stood at 7% and 2008 is estimated to be placed around 8, 5%. Only with respect to electricity consumption, Italy is located in a less difficult because in 2008 consumed 24.0% of renewable energy (including manufactured and imported) on a target that is expected to about 30% in 2020.
There is no time to waste with regard to the eco-economy
The economic crisis and global issues as climate change could provide new business opportunities, new markets and new jobs, if Europe is able to make the step to eco-efficient economy. This is what I have concluded the European Ministers for Competitiveness at an informal meeting held in Sweden on 14 and 15 October. Organized by the Swedish Presidency of the EU Council, the meeting was a continuation of the discussions that took place in July between the Ministers for Energy and Environment Ministers. In line with the Lisbon strategy and the technologies and green industries, which are the basis for creating prosperity and jobs for decades to come, the ministers stressed that the future EU Strategy for Growth and the ' Employment is expected to have as a central point of the transition to an eco-economy. The speakers insisted that the transition should begin immediately, because the longer we wait, the more costs go up. Europe risks losing the benefits of growth in the international market if the initiative will first be adopted by other economies. Exploit the environmental and economic challenges current to recharge its batteries economic, could create significant benefits and new opportunities for the European Union. In addition, an eco-efficient growth would lead to consuming fewer natural resources. To achieve these goals - has said the meeting - is a new approach for a wide range of industries. Many industries have great potential for the development of an eco-friendly approach, among them those of efficient technologies for energy and resources, renewable energy, environmental technology, information technology and telecommunications (ICT) and sustainable transport. One of the most important steps towards eco-economy is the creation of market conditions and fair trade, and this will help the international agreement on climate change should be approved in December in Copenhagen. The meeting also talked about an international price on carbon as an important incentive to invite markets to invest in green technologies. He also discussed the central issues for moving towards an eco-economy, including the need to explain to businesses and industry growth potential of this economy and the commitment to research, innovation, development and creation new related products. Other important tools are their rules for contracts public and specific operating greener. Were also mentioned in the small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which represent 99% of all EU companies. Given their influence and critical mass, it is important to provide SMEs with the right conditions to facilitate their transition towards eco-efficiency. Among the obstacles to be overcome on the road to eco-economy, there are institutional barriers and bureaucracy, insufficient funding for eco-processing companies and the lack of awareness about how to make the transition.
Growing concerns about climate change, energy supply and competitiveness afflict the citizens of Europe. The European Commission is determined to tackle these problems, which are increasingly more, and urged the public authorities, companies and researchers to join forces to develop the technologies needed to respond adequately. The chosen date is 2020. The Commission in its proposal presented last October 7, entitled "Investing in the development of low carbon technologies" aims to capture and store emissions from coal plants to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (carbon capture and sequestration carbon, CCS). In itself, the Commission estimates that over the next ten years will require an additional investment of 50 billion euro in research on energy technologies. This means that the EU will make available another 5 billion euro to be added to the already allocated 3 billion annually. The Commission considers that the European Strategic Energy Technology (SET), which is the cornerstone of EU policy on energy and climate, should ensure the implementation of a low carbon economy. Together with the research community and businesses, the Commission established the "roadmaps" that identify technology to low carbon technologies with a high potential at Community level in six areas: wind, solar, electricity, bioenergy, capture and storage carbon and nuclear fission sostenibile.La selection was made on the basis of a consultation process which also involved the Strategic Energy Technologies Information System (SETIS), which provides the results to date research on the current state of the same on the estimates of research and investment in favor of low-carbon technologies in research and development (R & D). Under the plan, the bulk of investments, of € 16 billion, are allocated to solar energy and that 13 billion are for the capture and storage of greenhouse gas emissions. Finally, the Commission wishes that the technologies are made available for plants that will come into operation after 2020. The Commission considers that the transition to a low carbon emissions is just the direction in which the EU is called upon to move, because the crux of the problem is fossil fuels. The energy supply for 80% of the EU depends on fossil fuels, fuels, largely imported from abroad, available in ever smaller and ever higher prices. The transition will bring economic growth and new jobs. Encouraging and supporting a low-carbon Europe will drastically reduce the energy bill for foreign countries and gain a leading position in clean technology and efficienti.
not remember a day in the sun for at least a month, and that could only be the thirty-day moist and dense fog made the hard and smelly clothes.
It seemed that all the evil in the world had been sprinkled on the black earth and hard, and that every morning he repeated the miracle of the resurrection. Reached a few feet high and fell to the ground, as if the sun up there would not be contaminated. The pushed back allowing him to lick the faces of men, before their own abominations.
dawn no different from many others.
The cold was so intense that the sleeves of his jacket to squeak every little movement.
Some roar in the distance does not worry him more than the sound of axes which creaked. He put the straw and a blanket to insulate from the cold floor of the attic.
Moving to reactivate the movement, his eye was caught by the semi-open trunk stuck in the lower part of the roof.
Someone had already robbed of what could be used: a shrine violated. The style of the brass handles the chest reminded him that his wife was in the bedroom. She had been given by his grandmother and maintained as the most precious thing in the world. The hinges were always lucid, and the checkered cloth that covered it was clean and crisp. His wife had kept there kits, wool blankets and sheets, well-being of the thalamus. Up to last.
still remember the smell of lavender which erupted when, after two turns, it opened the flap. It was the smell of home, alcove, tenderness. Something sadly forgotten. past is consumed, just as the land and people: individuals, tortured and then thrown in the roulette of the survivors.
A cry from the edge of the courtyard below him back to the reality that for a while he used to call "the neglect of good things."
A gray shape approached the fence had to urinate, while not far away a vehicle was coming. About ten seconds later, they went down in five and began to pull out of the bread bags and boxes. The voices grew stronger, and men less tense. Although the weather was still a sheltered place where you can stop and have a few laughs.
That reminded him of the courtyard house campaign. He had built his father on the lawn and planted orange trees and two large elms. On weekends, free from the commitments in tailoring, took the bus and went to relax. Remembering those good times he had the impression of still smell the smell of the embers of the barbecue and enjoy the taste of blood oranges.
The shouts of happy grandchildren who ran on the grass were clouded by the coarse laughter of people just arrived. One of them was placed astride the fence imitating an unlikely cowboy.
He looked at them carefully, one by one.
one with the face that seemed to run away from a sculpture Notre Dame, the other that should not have more than seventeen years, with another piece of newspaper and straw inside the jacket to ward off the cold. All the looks as pale as the mist, eyes absent. The only sign that they were still in this world were his cheeks red from the frost and condensation around their mouths grinning.
Yet another, isolated from the others, was writing something in a notebook. Even from there he could see his finger at the shadow of a faith. Thin fingers, a pianist, shivering with cold.
Two hundred, two hundred and fifty yards, he thought. That was the distance that separated him from his fellow men, lost souls in the wind.
He pulled the chain around her neck. There were two faiths and the cross that led Carla, his wife. For a moment her face changed color and his eyes actually twinkle back in, just like a man, not a ghost. But it was the epiphany of a moment, just long enough to bury the memory and his spirit back into the depths of his jacket.
He took a breath and relaxed. The hand moved two shots the wheel is relaxed and the cheek on the stock. The officer who was at the center of the telescopic sight slumped in his notebook.
The first shot shook the group unexpectedly and before the others are preparing to do something about the man on the fence was on the ground with his hands on his neck, a fountain by the high red splashes.
The shutter moved again, with absolute calm and the tailor took aim and shot down another. A sergeant ran to the vehicle to operate the MG, but there were more than three steps.
The other opened fire. Random. Without seeing where the shots came from, they just scream of terror and attack anything around them.
Up there in that attic close to the sky, the tinkle of a cartridge case on the floor stated that the scythe of death was ready to fall again.
A soldier threw a grenade in the barn, and a flurry of coverage under one of two survivors crossed the courtyard to enter the building. Took a shot in the leg, immobilizing him between cries of pain.
The wounded man was saying something to the buddy. It was an unknown language, but it was the valedictory tone of someone who is about to leave but still want to live like all the other comrades in arms, as the enemies, like Carla, as the grandchildren, as he himself .
began to fire again optics.
A helmet rose slowly from the depths of the gutter to fly immediately to at least two meters away.
The extruder
spat out the last cartridge case with its characteristic clack-clack.
Silence.
not felt vehicles, tanks and other soldiers coming. The man lying in the mud of the courtyard was also a dead body, twisted, perhaps in a last attempt to keep the ghost anchored to the ground. I kept looking through the lens of the gun, a kind of distorted room from which to see the world: distant and close simultaneously.
distance, the roar of artillery was replaced by the sound of a bell.
The Tailor wiped the small tears that flowed slowly on the cheek and closed the lens cap, a black knight that he placed the sword in the sheath after the fight.
We looked at the finger wet.
preferred to think that that day was the residue of gunpowder to make him cry, and not his soul that was approaching darkness every day.

Here's a literary joke, kindly published in blog Written Paper Rossana Massa, in the review of stories for the summer.
When the clock begins to glow continuously and ears are full of intergalactic sounds you know three things.
The first is that six in the morning.
The second, being just six in the morning, you're on vacation and you should sleep at least until the hour of meeting beautiful girls on the beach. Moreover, the quick glance that the downward confirms for you that you had a tan is slowly but surely getting closer to that corpse-like color that is hidden from the strap of the pants.
The third thing that attracts your attention is the way you look at those miserable hiking boots, which you back to the reality of the dawn and the fact that you're not at sea and there are even girls in the program, but a notorious outing.
Whether it is a notorious fact.
feet hurt already paving the road of the village while preparing to rendes vouz you when you realize that in the silence you hear noises mattuttino indecent laughter and asinine. In front of the little bar of alpine adventure of your comrades, that would be good to define " trek to the bread and salami , eat breakfast with bread and sausage and a half glass of white wine, although, in truth, it seems that is more than half a glass as two-thirds are already drunk before you leave.
Across the street other unfortunate early, certainly foreigners. Designer boots, shoes, clothing, water bottles. Have breakfast with snacks and other foodstuffs with a high energy content. They circulate chocolate bars, we have the cream.
They are not ours and it shows. They are perfect enough to look young marmots. Everybody with his hat and shorts.
Of our clothes there is no equal, is a competition to see who is dressed worse. There the soldiers with camouflage pants, the Forest transplanted with jeans, and nike straw hat, dressed as the local peasants with boots with holes and other guys dressed in a undefined. One shirt has a feast day, a pair of trousers from goalkeeper blacks and colored socks. The backpack is given to items inside the gas station where you can put in perfect order plates and forks.
While others quietly observe the map on our part is crap shoot as I could (usually starting with the stories of naja) and lively discussions on "packed lunch".

Our alter-ego, in the beautiful colorful backpacks, will surely have canned biscuits and maybe even freeze-dried food with a nice bottle of water or minerals.
But we caught in the backpacks in the back of the attic and in many cases date back to the grandfather at the time of the unification of Italy, brought a whole lamb done already in pieces, salt and pepper, sausages indecent amount, and a dozen loaves of the diameter of a greek hoplite shield. The weight is distributed evenly among the various members of the expedition, except one. The man leading the group and on which rests the responsibility for the entire day: the stoker. That is the one who leads the grid and tools for turn on the grill and cook. Fortunato ...

From a distance there is a sign with his hand and a smile.
Our forerunner, even in the dark face drunk, looks at him, stood up leaning against the trunk of a pine tree and raises his glass suppressing a burp.
" All men are liars, fickle, false, charlatans, hypocrites, proud, cowardly, despicable and sensual ... All women are perfidious, artful, vain, curious and depraved ... but if there is a holy thing in the world and the sublime and 'the union of these two beings so flawed and futile. "
Alfred de Musset Badine On ne pas avec l'Amour With love, do not mess Act V - Scene 2
The slight hiss of blue polycarbonate sheet that flowed into the guide does not disturb the background of the passacaglia.
The fresh wind filled the room by adding metallic luster and body to the notes dancing in the dark.
On the bed, a dream-Bernini had carved his work in ecstasy. A flurry of sinuous lines were confused hips and slender legs of women, beautiful ivory pleated sheets Seree blacks prosthesis and long curls on the pillow, live like the foliage of the terrible Medusa. The eyes and face were relaxed, happy in a pose that made her look like a delicate doll ceramic.

The rest was there for that.

smiled.
The man rose from the edge of the bed and reached the open window. The steps made no noise on the carpet.
He put his hands to the plate and looked at the world, from the Tower Room 2010 of the Torah. The wind had stretched the skin on her naked body.
The spaces between the administrative buildings nearby were clogged up to incredible heights with tubular structures, metal plates and shiny black as pitch interpenetrating amorphous with other buildings. Boxes, concrete domes and plastic materials that reflected the colorful lights of the advertising signs in inexorably climbed to the top of the towers housing.
Crowded drops of candle wax dripping along.
Where a glass or a metal plate were blown away, eroded by neglect, there were numerous awkward and hasty, or huge hole through which you could see the structures rusted and corroded by time, where the theatrical stage teeming with people intent on his personal affairs.
Modern ant followed one another without adjustment, indefinite creating districts that proceeded to clogging complete each area, excluding the transfer corridors.
At that height the earth was invisible, hidden under a woolly blanket that changes its appearance and its color according reflectors and signage shields. A perpetual smog.
From gash created by a sudden updraft, saw the colossal basements of buildings: unreal artificial buoys in the sea of \u200b\u200bmud and toxic waste that formed the ground level.
The ephemeral sea in constant motion that hid the lost Atlantis, and in which the loveliness of this woman was a beacon of warm light. A flower that rose from the mud.
A movement behind him woke him in disgust.
- Where are you? -
voice over a million veils soft separating waking from sleep. Hissed the words as if they were purring of a cat.
- Come here to me -
The man did not turn around.
He liked to imagine the slender hands that sailed between the sheets for warmth. That the thrill of the body were a vague dream in the cold of the night.
He knew better than anyone else, but now he saw her happy does not remember the name. It seemed that life was condensed in a moment.

Eyes were fixed on her back, alone glossy painting on the window frame.
His time was up, just like all the others before her.

- I have to go - said in a faint voice.
finally turned. He took his black robe and seeing the worried smiled as if to let the joy as his legacy. Forever, as was his mission.
She seemed reassured, shrugged his sheets as if suddenly the walls of the room had become ice.
She took two steps back, approaching the bed.
- Now you have all your life, remember that! -
said this and launched into space.
She saw him fall, first quickly, then seemed to slow to a stop a few meters above the ground. The yellow fog hid him for a moment and then spat, more beautiful than ever, and quickly climbed into the shiny top of the towers. Without looking back he flew off into the night, leaving you breathless, but with my heart strangely full of happiness.
It was then that she laughed heartily, in the face to the austere towers of obsidian, the corrupt city. Laughed so much it's faster heart that flew away and that was as close as no one ever. The passacaglia is merged into a gay.
He felt it, beyond the town, over the mountains and the sea, the clouds and knew he had achieved his goal. That he was a good sailor in the ocean of the essence. Had protected and loved.
Just like the angel he was.
Benedict for what they gave, doomed never to see the green eyes more than a breath of night.
The way of martial arts, is a twisty, treacherous and lonely.
The path is tortuous because it runs on the flanks of a mountain that has enveloped the top of the clouds. Many times you come across road junctions, or junctions that descend suddenly rises steeply along lines that seem more direct and faster. In neither case should choose, but keep our feet firmly planted on land that is safe, and enjoy the right time. The road to the valley is often the embodiment of hidden desires. A path down, quiet, calm to the plain and the sea. The slope that goes up suddenly, however, is the desire to get to the top immediately, without granting the right breaks, cutting the landscape, preventing the wood and curves. Even taking that route to get there first, you may not get there often to never, burning much earlier, making burst lungs and legs without ever seeing the summit.
The journey is lonely. Why, even if you have the beginning of the path met a wise old man, who with that happy smile of one who seems to know how long it indicates the beginning of the track with a bony hand, you face the climb alone. Although the old to come with you and tells you at every turn over the abyss, where and how to look, you probably will concentrate more on his finger and not on what he really wants you to notice. And in fact the first part of your journey, you act as if he were still with you, we say in mind all the warnings and instructions received. Always look on her finger. Then, slowly, begin to understand that what I was shown is only a guideline, a track background and a crude form to work. A mass of clay which was given a regular form, even if perfect, but that requires something that goes beyond mere formal perfection: it requires the sublime. And the sublime can only give you, just as if you had the hand of a famous artist, the touch of brush makes a painting a masterpiece. Then look for your pitch, you placed your backpack as you know how and not as others say, you will pause for a moment longer to look and breathe. Each step will be to breath, awareness, beauty. Taking advantage of any particular along the way, does not make it just a place to move towards the top, but a tangible objective and current.
The aim is insidious. Why walk, always will undergo the pressure of the top of the goal. The summit did not see anything, because it is surrounded by clouds. But you know it's there, and your mind is built as a direct image of not really but it should be, because, in truth, do not see it at all. Continuing to look up at every step, you're going to stumble, or fall into a ravine. Your heart will go on for ever stronger desire to get on top and your body will burn out soon in the will to finish the journey as soon as possible. As long without oxygen and without energy, the mind stuferà prefer to chase a chimera and dabble in other interests far less complex. In truth there is no top and the clouds are just there to mask what is not there. Behind the white clouds, there is another mountain, and still another. Of those units, which interpenetrate to form a solid in which no longer stands proximity. The starting point is the finger wise Elder, the goal is the path we are following, the point of arrival and only you just you.
We followed the route of the vans, some in cars, people on scooters, on foot. As a hardened financier who strives obsessively in the search for loopholes to order them to pay some mysterious fee.
Every morning at 7:00 o'clock I sat on the corner of Via Filzi and Corso Dante, where there is the little bar of Arthur, the Moroccan.
In his local kebab sucks, but the donuts that make them a show. Soft, warm and overflowing with cream. One morning I also missed an appointment with our goal, but I did not say anything to others, I scored the usual time on the sheet that I carry around, cleaning the well and the Anointed One of the best zeppole.
Do not ask me why we can call an African Arturo and is an expert baker. Always my theory is that it was adopted by a family of South Tyrol. After all, it would explain his expertise with the strudel, and the inability to achieve an absolute Kousa Kousa you can only eat.
My cousin Tony had forced me to follow him in this business because his cock three days before had caught Carluccio, the companion of snacks. During an earlier flight had not complied with a cross and the garbage truck took him right in his throwing panda on the sidewalk. When the police arrived they found a man lying dazed on the front seat who muttered something incomprehensible trying to emerge from a pile of hundred tickets that now smelled like rotten fish. If it was not finished in a wheelchair for the rest of his days there would be almost laughable.
Honestly I would rather go to take lessons at school, but when we called the family, there is no commitment that takes. Let alone the study.
I looked at my companions.
That was the morning of the big day.
Peppe was standing in a corner with the barrel of the AK on the floor and the bald head bouncing football. I found that the waiting was killing him, moreover he had stopped smoking for one week transforming her sunny laugh in a satanic grin every time someone lit a cigarette.
Yamal staring into space keeping the gun in his pants as he had the fear of losing it at every jolt. He kept his hand on the abdomen as Julio Iglesias the best of times. I was convinced that at any moment would be standing up to sing "I am a pirate, I am a gentleman, a professional love." I do not know where they had picked up, I had never seen around. My cousin had mentioned that I had found him on a tour to Zen, had seemed to wake up (and, if he put it) and apparently had had experience as a rebel in Mauritania before reaching in Italy as a stowaway. Rebel of thing, then you do not know ... even Jim Morrison described himself as a rebel, but it was not automatically a virtuoso of the robbery and assault rifles.
Then there was me, not very comfortable with the Beretta in his hand, and Tony.
Tony was the reference point of the family.
To friends always told of his troubled childhood and how he ran away from home to twelve years to build a culture. He said he had hitchhiked across Europe until you get over the English Channel, Brighton. There it was determined at a generous family and had studied in college a luxury.
repeated Always entertaining episodes of school, as was a model student, the Anglo-Saxon girls, fights of the evening in the pub. For some time I also thought her stories, then I realized that the manual to use the Playstation everything in English was for him a treatise in unknown language and he used his fingers to make three and two. Eventually I found out through another cousin, who twenty years earlier had indeed passed through Italy, but to stop and Locate Triulzi where he had barely completed three years of a technical institute to devote himself full time to his work more fun pizza delivery service, from which he had been fired over and over again. Within a year he was hired and cast at least fifteen pizzerias.
Oh, almost forgot. The acrid smoke and stink that came in that sort of tabernacle, was the cigar stravecchio Tore, nicknamed "Ayrton" because of his ability to drive.
He is not confused with the group. It was in the driving seat and you could barely see through the window. Try to talk to him, beyond the smokescreen, as was groped a glimpse of the features of the priest beyond the grate of the confessional, only instead of perfume holy water came the stench of the cigar.
front of us the white van when it left the bank and load of bucks, just like the chest of Scrooge McDuck.
addition, Uncle Benito on Vespino smarmittato.
As a young man had worked as a stunt-man in Cinecittà . He was half drunk, I went to pick up in some dive of Trastevere actions when there were dangerous to do, then where avevno found and reported in the morning he woke up with a one hundred thousand in his hand. Probably if he had been sober he would never have done. But in his camp was a professional.
This morning he had already planned everything. Oil can upside down in the middle of Via Trieste, one-way street and so the rear brake.
We were almost there. If I'd had enough already of the nauseating stench of the cigar, someone had the bright idea to expel gas unheard of rot gut. Risked to vomit, thinking that the world there was something worse than risking their lives in a stupid robbery.
luck (or misfortune) would have it, Uncle Benito was already at work. Around the corner, gave him gas, shook to death the rear brake gently sloping on one side and slid on the oil slick. The padding strategically saved his neck, but he was well and good if they lay on the pavement, throwing the cries of pain with all the passersby who came as if Jesus Christ himself had summoned them to the division of the loaves and fish.
The vans, finding himself in front of this pathetic scene, you fermò.Una of the two guards went immediately trying to help.
was then that the square behind us and we came out with guns. We gave him the idea of \u200b\u200bnot being professionals, we had neither the bandana on his face like real outlaws, nor the shield of acrylic or pluck the mask of Presidents. But the show was great too!
Yamal, who had been silent all the time, fired two shots into the air like in a western movie. Peppe was already on the first security guard lying on the floor with his hands behind his head and Tony was the second exit from the vehicle. I attacked the plastic to the door as I was told and I skip the lock.
Botto dry, some crap in my face and doors wide open.
was then that he felt the air and one unfortunate sound. That of a siren.
behind our truck, to escape what Ayrton, had been with us a glittering 159 Carabinieri. Probably the smoke that had cursed the Tuscan obstructed the view of the mirrors.
I think that day will remember for a lifetime. One of those events that make you realize how idiot you are and what's worth living your life for a real job, to study, for love, for a family to carry forward your name, to continue to eat the donuts Arturo. For aging tests and dispense consciousness.
Ayrton got out and fired.
As if he clapped his hands in a cave full of bats, all passers-vanished instantly. One of the two policemen who survived the blow on the windshield, slid out of the car extending Tore two rounds of 92. For a moment I thought that the holes on his poor body could go out all the smoke that had swallowed over the years.
At that moment I slipped in front of a lifetime. I stopped still in front of the door open and eyes wide open.
Tore I was in front of a pool of blood, motionless. He fell without a moan, take two steps without dying like in the movies.
I threw the gun and raised my hands. That probably saved me. Frightened eyes and the face of a child. The silence of those who makes you crazy guess: "I have nothing to do nothing, I spent here and I thought it was a robbery at the Robin Hood. Steal from the rich to give to the poor. I am innocent!"
The second policeman, a corporal, went down in turn, slipping from under the door and slipped between parked cars.
Tony shouted the security guard trying to interpose, but that turned knocking him to the ground and running.
Yamal became a beast. He began to shoot at random from all sides, shattering windows and blowing the windows of the few stores nearby. Someone who ran away came under fire.
More shots. This time they were AK. A hail pierced the car nearby. Broken glass everywhere.
cries. Screams. The tinkling of the shells on the ground.
I threw myself on the ground.
Then a familiar voice. - Fuck ... I took! - It was Tony. Other
hail. Shots in response. From under the truck tried to see what happened before.
A couple of meters Yamal was lying motionless on the asphalt. Uncle Benito had disappeared.
I felt a creeping noise to my right. I turned with a start. I pinned and as we looked dazed. He held his left arm and the sleeve was soaked with blood.
I looked like I was his son. The age was one.
face Serio said only one thing: - You should be in school kid, not in this shit! -. No more. She leaned against the tire gasping. On the other hand ran his buddy on the sidewalk, leaning behind the car.
Two shots. The AK is now no longer felt. Just as suddenly arrived and unreal, the silence was broken by the background of the radio crackled: " auto car 46 ... 46 ... ... reply ... reinforcements in the area."
I never knew if they had caught Peppe had fled or who knows where. Not even I knew that had happened to others, whether they were dead or only wounded. I did the only thing I heard to do.
I stood looking at me with the lance, white face. Perhaps he wanted to tell me something.
Among the tears ran and ran like mad, I pretended not to hear the cries of the passers, the sound of sirens coming. I wanted to tear my clothes off, take away the fragments of experience conficcatisi in my soul.
courses and just not knowing where, without understanding why.
That day I had the breath to run for miles without turning back.
