Stato d'emergenza a Trieste. La Bora soffia a 140 km orari con punte fino a 170, causando parecchi problemi e danni alle cose e alle persone. Il paesaggio cittadino e dei dintorni di questi giorni prevede rami spezzati e alberi sradicati, tegole volate via dai tetti e vetri infranti, cassonetti che si schiantano improvvisamente sulle auto in corsa e persone sollevate da terra a few inches before being thrown to the ground seconds later. Even Ursus, a large floating crane, old relic of the industrial port of Trieste, broke its moorings and is drifting away in front of Piazza Unità with almost 80 meters high and 50 tonnes in weight.
The scenario is very similar to that designed by Walter Chen on this board

based on his comic book story East-North- East, published by Rizzoli -Lizard in 2007.
In this tale the fog that envelops " a city situated between the sea and Mount " was swept away by strong winds from the east northeast, the Borne. Cttadini I leave very proud of, considering it a feature of which praise the merits, such as to purify (in every sense) the city. The point is that this time the Borne none of it to stop, indeed continues to increase in intensity, isolating the city.
"We are isolated"
"Maybe we have always been "
"Maybe we've always wanted to"
In this exchange between two characters of the novel lies a little truth: city \u200b\u200bproud of its past when there were something, he clings to the flags and the flags of that period. He pretends to be an open city to another, but then tears in deep divisions within it. Everyone is running after its own clique, party or club reassuring.

One morning, the unthinkable happens: the Borne has wiped out all the colors of the city, everything is a blinding white. Each coat of arms, flag, banner of the church, congregation or party has lost its colors: there are no more excuses, now something has to change. But this is not
over yet. From the pages of the diary of Ranfa, a creator of stories and witnessed the incredible events that shattered forever the life of the city, we learn that the Borne strike again.
In four beautiful tables, where you can admire the beautiful clear line that owes so much to Maestro Vittorio Giardino, Walter Chen recounts the arrival of the portentous swirl of wind that takes away the true children of the city.

Chi sono i sopravissuti? Cosa li distingue dagli altri? Solo un fatto: l'essere diversi, secondo vari criteri, ma pur sempre diversi dai veri figli di questa città.
Ranfo però annota sul diario che i superstiti (tra cui i bambini mancano del tutto) si dimenticano presto del tragico evento che hanno vissuto. Organizzano una festa che si trasforma presto in orgia. Non hanno imparato nulla. E il vento ricomincia to rise.
"'s disease of laziness and carelessness we hit without struggle or effort. We recognize.'ll Fly. "
were the last words of the diary, read many years later by a small community of nomadic Slavic accent fermatisi during a foggy night in a deserted house and isolated a place that does not know, have found the manuscript. At the end of reading the fog is thinning, and a strong wind begins to rise. The start of the next morning is not so sure.
Sono vent'anni che vivo a Trieste, ma non mi son ancora abituato alla Bora......
In questo video di qualche anno fa, Walter Chendi parla di "Est-Nord-Est", del suo modo di lavorare e della considerazione del fumetto nel nostro Paese.
