Città dei contrasti | Bucarest, Romania

The Old Town of Bucharest is full of contrasts. Ruins and poverty in the Romanian capital right next to hotels and luxury.

Quando mi sono preparato per il viaggio in Romania, mi sono spesso imbattuto nella parola “contrasti” collegata a Bucarest. Ricchezza estrema accanto a povertà amara, imprese fiorenti accanto a edifici distrutti.

Tutto questo mi è tornato in mente nel momento in cui ho messo piede a Bucarest. Quante volte si può bere una birra (sorprendentemente costosa) davanti a una rovina? Questa foto è stata scattata proprio nella Città Vecchia di Bucarest e penso che si capisca cosa intendo per “contrasti”. Solo poche strade più in là costruiscono un nuovo hotel a 5 stelle.

Sono davvero curioso di sapere come si svilupperà Bucarest, perché la città mi ha dato l’impressione che ci sia davvero qualcosa che sta per succedere. Immagino che tra 5 anni non si vedranno più molti di questi contrasti, ma chi lo sa?
