Per arricchire il numero 100 di Gallerie e Grandi Opere Sotterranee di contributi di idee da punti di vista dissimili da quelli tradizionali del nostro ristretto mondo di operatori del sotterraneo, abbiamo chiesto all’Arch. Mario Virano, che nella propria intensa attività professionale e di Commissario Straordinario del Governo si è trovato spesso ad interagire con le complesse e disparate problematiche tipiche delle realizzazioni nel sottosuolo, di illustrarci la propria visione su questo tema, che da sempre ci appassiona. Siamo quindi molto lieti di pubblicare questo Suo articolo, che traendo spunto dall’esperienza maturata come Commissario di Governo per la nuova linea ferroviaria Torino-Lione, ci invita a riflettere sul messaggio generale che il mondo della progettazione delle infrastrutture, specialmente di quelle sotterranee, trasmette alla società. Egli proporre infine una rigenerata visione d’assieme delle soluzioni del soprassuolo e del sottosuolo.
This experience introduced him to the world and the technical culture of tunnels. His point of view, however, has constantly sought contacts with public opinion and local communities: so he has been used to understand people’s fears to the underground world. These fears existed already 150 years ago, when united Italy was born and Cavour decided to build the first Alpine tunnel for the railroad. A sketch of the cartoonist D'Aponte recalls that debate in 1857 with the two opposite positions: Menabrea, who was favourable in the name of Europe, Moia who was opposite with arguments that the NO-TAV are still using. This movement, born as NIMBY in Valle di Susa to defend the territory, later became one of the many "no global" small parties. Politics and mass culture don’t explain everything: there is a problem concerning the technical culture of the project. The modern infrastructures make people discussing, but they don’t make people dreaming. The underground works are usually presented to people only as needed, a bit like the sewerage system. Today instead the underground is a new dimension of the city to live.The author presents a work carried out in Turin with Viviana Riccato, LVM Studio Associato and SI.ME.TE. srl for Codelfa and Parcheggi Italia. It’s a large underground parking under one of the city’s historical squares, Piazza Vittorio Veneto: the designers planned to connect, also in a visual way, the neoclassical arcades of the square with the halls of the underground car park which become an underground square. The lights’ installations of Leonardo Mosso and the sets of underground furniture talk about the city in a place where the vision of architecture is a distracted perception. Living underground through new infrastructures changes the city and its planning as the “Passante di Torino” taught.
