LA REGOLA
THE RULE
Italia / 2014 / 17 min / Colour
A community attempts to retake possession of its common property: the woods, meadows, and water. This happens in Gallio, on the high plain of Asiago, where on March 3, 2013, voting takes place to elect the fi rst “Rule”. In the past, in the Alpine region, the Rule was the assembly elected by the heads of families to oversee their natural heritage in a collective way. After a process of familiarization, consisting of meetings, public assemblies, and discussions amongst the residents, each family votes for one candidate for the fi rst administrative commission of the Rule of Gallio. In the heart of the winter tourist season, the organizers hope for high voter turnout.
