Bastioni sulle isole giapponesi


Explanation:
Perché no? Bastioni è un termine ben conosciuto in Italia: Milano ha, ancora, la cinta dei bastioni spagnoli, limite della città fino alla fine del '600. Nel '700 e prima della rivoluzione industriale tutta la vita, politica, civile, produttiva e abitativa si consumava ancora lì. Poi vennero i quartieri operai "fuori la cinta", ancora l'attuale percorso degli storici tram 29 e 30, circonvallazione. Per dire solo della storia di una città che conosco bene.
