Giovani: stile di vita e life-long-learnig

Dal Lago e Molinari, in “Giovani senza tempo”, scrivono che “la nuova cultura del lavoro prevede il concetto di “formazione permanente”, cioè per il lavoratore non basta lavorare, ma deve necessariamente mettersi nella condizione di aggiornarsi, riqualificarsi, di ri-formarsi per tenere il passo di tecnologie e di sistemi di lavoro in incessante trasformazione”. Buzzi, Cavalli e de Lillo, in “Giovani verso il Duemila”, aggiungono che “il recente dibattito sugli squilibri occupazionali ha alimentato la diffusa opinione che la disoccupazione giovanile potrebbe essere efficacemente combattuta se i giovani fossero disponibili a cambiare la loro forma mentis nei confronti del lavoro”. I temi del “life-long-learning” e della forma mentis giovanile sono tra i punti centrali dell’applicazione della scienza ontopsicologica alla sociologia e alla pedagogia (cfr. ad esempio il libro “L’Apprendista Leader” della F.O.I.L. www.foil.it).

Stralci di Ontopsicologia

L’essere umano può pensare in infiniti modi, ma se gli interessa la realtà della vita non può pretendere che le opinioni delle accademie, delle diverse culture o delle tradizioni siano coincidenti con le leggi universali del cosmo. L’inconscio, tutto il nostro organismo, risponde a queste leggi universali. Sono leggi eterne ed inflessibili, che non possono essere in alcun modo discrezionate nel pulviscolo dell’ultima opacità atomica di questo o quell’altro essere umano.

Realizzarsi storicamente è necessario, ma la forza passa nella misura in cui ci si adegua all’intenzionalità di natura. Discutere in senso di psicologia analitica, comportamentale, o giuridica non ha senso di fronte ai grandi passaggi della vita: dobbiamo saper entrare in questo ordine per poi manovrare la nostra storia.

The structure of the Castle

Lizori is a classic triangular hill castle, of great importance as rare example of a place that has maintained its structure to our days. Built along the NE – SW axis, its houses are built with a simple structure, parallel to the hillside. The orographic slope allows for two storeys houses, both on the street level. The first storeys faced Northward, while the lower storeys housed animals and services. The first interventions were made in 1976. The conditions of the houses was really bad. Most part of the main walls had been propped up or had collapsed. Roofs and floors were in ruins, and some of them were completely destroyed. There was almost no foundations, the walls being directly on the stone. This is typical when the walls of the lower storeys have a wall made of stone.

The analysis of the causes that led to the degradation allowed for a technical intervention. Among the four basic elements which constitute the structure, natural stone, brickwork, wood and mortar, only the last two seemed to be highly susceptible to deterioration, both through natural deterioration (endogenous action), and through the action of external factors (exogenous action). The second deterioration is probably worse, because it starts a chain reaction. The restoration technique needs to study all processes in reverse (sometimes through simple intuition), so that, once seen the damage, it is possible to understand what caused it and intervene, eliminating the cause with a simple maintenance.

The different solutions depend on the kind of deterioration, which avoids standardised and useless interventions. This method avoids a kind of intervention based on figurative and material culture, thus guaranteeing a good result and the preservation of the place, which also leaves the relationship between work of art and craftsmanship intact. All the materials employed have mostly been taken from old materials. Apart form these, new material was added, worked with traditional methods (very rare and expensive). In case it needed to be substituted, all the material was stored for a possible future use. Under the static profile, all the elements that could not be used were used for new functions, thus integrating this new functional use with an aesthetic use. This kind of solution can be seen inside some houses, as well as in the streets. The use of an “open system” rather than an industrialised method made with predetermined compounds has guaranteed the use of rare techniques (see the squaring of girders) and the creative flexibility for the solution of different problems.

Lizori

In July 1975, a group made of architects, American artists and others gathered here. They made an attempt to draw the institutions’ attention with the operation called Save the Castle of Pissignano. After some initial expressions of interest, these potential sponsors quickly decided that, rather than being a possible goldmine, the project would require years of work, with no easy profits in sight.
So, there was the village on the one hand (or at least the idea of it), and there was the idea to save it as soon as possible on the other, because this was going to last forever. Last but not least, funds had to be found. The general opinion was that the whole thing required a lot of money.

Che cos’è l’Ontopsicologia

Ontopsicologia: dal greco on, ontos = essente; psyche = anima, mente; logos = scienza, discorso. Significa studio dei comportamenti psichici in prima causalità, inclusa la comprensione dell’essere; studiare psicologia secondo le coordinate del reale, o intenzionalità dell’azione-vita, o azione-essere. Si tratta di partire dal reale fatto antropologico e non dalla cultura o dalle sue riflessioni.

Suo oggetto specifico è l’attività psichica o l’azione base delle modalità del pensiero e della motivazione dell’esistere uomo, e la relativa funzionalità dei processi e dell'agire allo scopo prefissato.

URBANISTIC PROFILE

If I had to analyse Lizori from a restorer’s point of view, I couldn’t help noticing the peculiar characteristics that qualify it as territorial restoration, both for the speed of the work, and for the style of management.
Until three years ago, the Castle lay in an abandoned state, its people preferring to live in new houses in the nearby valley. The data regarding the area have strong similarities with other neglected sites, both in Umbria an in Italy: a decreasing ans ageing population, with few young and active inhabitants. Such thing is quite typical in small centres, where companies and firms have been installed.

LIZORI, HEART OF UMBRIA

“Green and holy” Umbria, the old image that invokes a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere of serene landscapes with medieval traces of walls, strict architecture and vast population on the territory. Places close to one another and yet separated mark the countryside and remind us of Renaissance paintings.
Umbria is the only Italian region that is not on the sea, and it has a colourful and varied landscape, marked by man’s intervention.
The dominant characteristic of the landscape is its hills, even if the mountains to the East are not more than 1500 metres high.
The broad valley of the Tiber (between Città di Castello and Perugia) and then the Valle Umbra, through which the Chiascio, Topino and Clitunno rivers flow, divide the region into two areas. Parallel ranges of hills to the East and West meet with lake Trasimeno in the North, drawing an arch.
Home and cradle of superior artistic production during the Humanism and the Renaissance (consider the masterpieces painted by Cimabue, Giotto and many others), this region has always had an important role in the cultural and spiritual panorama all over the world. Umbria, and Assisi in particular, represent a meeting point for many religious people (not just Christians) not necessarily connected with the Roman Church.
In terms of economics, the image of the “green and holy” Umbria has been flanked by the image of commercial and economical capacity of its inhabitants. Evidence of their entrepreneurial activity can be seen in the many firms and companies close to agricultural areas, which flank the main roads.

lizori

Lizori (whose etymology is “where life shows”) is a unique place, because it concretely witnesses and expresses the best humanistic (natural, cultural and social) environment that man needs.


Located on Mount Revaglioso, in green Umbria, central Italy, Lizori has an ever increasing scientific and artistic vitality, and it is the forerunner of the highest values for mankind.
Leading exponent and creator of this humanistic culture, called Ontopsychology, is the Academician Professor Antonio Meneghetti, whose ongoing study of human beings has made of this medieval village the heart of a worldly humanistic culture. Lizori is also the head office of many important international scientific organisations connected with the UN.
Professor Antonio Meneghetti has directed all the restorations and recovery of the village, without the aid of government or corporate sponsorship, because all the financing for the works were made thanks to the contributions of the inhabitants of the village, who are professionals, entrepreneurs, artists and scientists.
