Nel cuore di Nicosia, capitale di Cipro, c'\u00e8 una lunga strada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questa strada esiste da secoli, era ed \u00e8 tuttora una delle principali aree commerciali della citt\u00e0. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Se sei stato a Nicosia, probabilmente ci hai passeggiato durante un pomeriggio soleggiato. Forse ti sei fermato a guardare le vetrine dei negozi, hai preso un caff\u00e8 in uno dei tanti bar o un delizioso souvlaki per cena. 
Negozi, mini market, ristoranti, caff\u00e8, bar, gelaterie, non manca nulla in questa strada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il suo passato<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In un passato oscuro, alla fine degli anni '50, era stata rinominata The Murder Mile (Il Miglio della Morte)<\/em>a causa dei frequenti attacchi ai soldati britannici.
Oggi la situazione \u00e8 molto tranquilla e la strada \u00e8 sempre frequentata da gente del posto e da turisti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non molto tempo fa, prima che l'odio e la politica ne cambiassero la forma, questa strada si chiamava Makridromos<\/em> (la lunga strada). 
La strada iniziava in piazza Metaxa (oggi Piazza Eleftheria<\/a>) e proseguiva per circa 1 km verso nord.
Non troverai questo nome sulle mappe attuali, infatti la strada \u00e8 stata divisa dalla creazione della Linea Verde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quella che una volta era la lunga strada, \u00e8 diventata Ledra Street a sud, zona cuscinetto al centro e una breve parte di Lokmaci a nord. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

La strada divisa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ledra Street prende il nome dall'antico regno di Ledra, situato dove oggi si trova Nicosia. Per gli ultimi 25 anni la strada \u00e8 pedonale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dal 1974, per 34 anni, un blocco stradale ha impedito alle persone di camminare dall'inizio alla fine della lunga strada. Le due parti della strada erano divise e nessuno poteva accedere all'altra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il blocco stradale \u00e8 stato sostituito da un checkpoint nel 2008. Per la maggior parte delle persone ( a seconda del passaporto) \u00e8 possibile attraversare e percorrere l'intera lunga strada. 
Per attraversare il valico \u00e8 necessario mostrare due volte il documento d'identit\u00e0 o il passaporto. I posti di blocco sono spesso affollati durante i fine settimana, quindi potresti dover aspettare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Il cuore della citt\u00e0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

La lunga strada \u00e8 il cuore diviso della citt\u00e0, che ti fa chiedere se Nicosia sia ancora una<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per molti stranieri a Cipro quella strada \u00e8 un luogo familiare. In fin dei conti, quanti di noi, stranieri in terra straniera, sono come quella strada? Una sola, ma divisa tra culture e territori.
Quanti di noi sono un po' confusi su dove si trovi casa?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La divisione ne ha cambiato la struttura, ma non dobbiamo dimenticare che la lunga strada \u00e8 ancora una. E c'\u00e8 ancora la speranza che, un giorno, non ci sia pi\u00f9 un posto di blocco nel mezzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
