NO TAV is a movement of the population of the Val di Susa against the construction of railway line of high-speed train (TAV) Turin - Lyon, in the construction of the so-called Corridor 5 that should connect across eastern Europe (beginning from Kiev), with the major cities of western Europe (including Turin, Marseille, Barcelona to Lisbon).
Similar movements of dispute arose in the early nineties between Florence, Bologna and Rome. As a result of the disputes in the Val di Susa, all movements NO TAV have obtained a national media dialog to expose their own arguments. (Wikipedia)

You know, Pietro, they try to build a TGV line between Lyon and Nice, passing through the Alpes. We get our NO TGV too. Local inhabitants don't want it at all.
The railway line between Marseille and Nice take 3 hours. With the new line, it only would take, maybe 1 hour directly, instead of doing the actual run : Lyon Marseille Nice.
All is a question of time + money against wise men. The battle is already unbalanced.
Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come back tomorrow!

The photos are wonderful!
If the railway would destroy much of that it would be devastating to the landscape.
I have to agree with Sandy - the world needs to slow down and enjoy life.
Progress isn't always the right thing to do and it's always at some cost.
Un saluto e sereno fine settimana Pietro!
I went to the link... but I can't give an opinion...
Amazing this first photo with the red light and the flag. Very suggestive. So beautiful this blue sky and green mountain, too!
Thanks for your visiting on Leituras. You are always very welcome! I am glad that the Translator can helps.
I wonder if it has something to do with the people's involvement in making sure your environment is well cared for.
- the destruction of this tiny valley of Val Susa
- it's hig speed = noise, pollution (a lot of electrical energy is needed for high-speed, this encourages the construction of new nuclear plants), vibrations
- it will mainly serve to transport goods : a lot of trains every day to achieve the frenetic economic globalization in Europe (instead of consuming local goods when possible)
- enormous amount of rocks to take off the mountain to do the tunnels, a lot of these rocks beeing radioactive. Where are they gonna put them ? what about the radioactive dust for the population and the workers ??
- there is an existing line between Lyon and Turin, that could be modernized and used instead, but not with the french TGV (high speed train) but with a few adaptation with italian train. This train line could be effective in less time and a lot less money, with a little less speed indeed.
These are just a few arguments of the no tav movement that i can remember (i've met an opposant from the val susa about 2 years ago)
You can find a lot of information on the web in italian, french or english, by searching "No Tav".
thanks for talking of this small valley that needs support !
(and sorry for my bad english !)
I didn't know TAV at all.
I learned TGV when I was in junior high!
high speed trains are really convenient becase we can go to various places even if we hadn't much time.
but local slow trains are good.
Because we can enjoy seeing scenery while being relaxed!
I can't choose one out of them!
Un saluto e buon proseguimento di settimana!
