Space.
It’s true: there is a lot of space in the Aosta Valley.
This time the advertisement is truthful.
Much, too much.
Unfortunately too much.
There is space and space.
There is the space caused by the void, for example.
Empty because there is nothing, for example.
There are no trout, the fishing reserves are empty and closed, but there is space.
The banks of the rivers are empty, without French, Swiss, Italian fishermen: there is still space.
The restaurants, bars, shops do not welcome fishermen are empty: still space.
The cash registers are empty: more space.
The fish farms are full of non-native brown trout that cannot be sown in empty rivers. Full space compensates for empty space.
The empty space only from Donnas up: the line of native trout.
From Donnas towards the valley there is no space. We are sorry.
The spaces caused by the void in a Region with a special statute could be filled, and in five years in which the European regulation discriminated the trout of Donnas from those of Chatillon, something could have been done, little much but something.
Perhaps the Valle d’Aosta vice-president of the Permanent Commission for Territory, Environment, Environmental Goods in the Senate could have filled these spaces and intervened.
The answer will surely be that it is a problem common to everyone in Europe.
But the Aosta Valley is not everyone: we are special, and so are our trout.
Of course it will be difficult to explain to the trout that they don’t have to go up the rivers, they don’t have to move, they become extra-community, without a dinghy.
On the contrary, we risk that for some substances that we are thinking of introducing into the waters to ensure that the eggs do not mature, they are the last trout of the Aosta Valley.
A lot of space, a lot of empty space, a lot of regret.
