Jurassic (Park) Albenga: Where Dinosaurs Are Living Again
Everyone knows the story of Jurassic Park, but few people know that some pieces of DNA of dinosaurs, outside any control, reached Albenga, Italy, too…

1525, Isla Nublar
The explorer and sailor X got to Isla Nublar. Among the dense and lush vegetation, he discovered a red lake.
X knelt in front of the lake and drank from it: it was Sunday, April 16. Easter. Thousands of mosquitoes were buzzing around him, and one of them stung X.
Years later, X’s son left Isla Nublar for the Gulf of Genoa. The long journey led him to Albenga, where a malaria midge stung him. X’s son survived malaria and died at age 90, being stung thousands of times by thousands of mosquitoes.
Each of those mosquitoes got one tiny drop of that red lake, packed into its DNA.
2022, Albenga
In front of the town hall of Albenga, today, April 16, 2022, there is a dinosaur. It’s not the only one. A little further on, there is a T-Rex. Another dinosaur is somewhere else.
Now I understand what my grandfather told me years ago, about our ancestor X. We were in front of the sea, I was 16. I can even still hear him saying:
The day will come when you’ll see outside yourself the aggression you carry inside, in your blood.
It’s not your fault. We are all contaminated, from the day our ancestor X drank from the red lake, in Isla Nublar. Centuries ago.
Nevertheless, remember: you are what you’ll see. It’s your DNA.
I see, indeed!
Disclosure and disclaimer
That’s all imagination!
Nevertheless, the amazing show of the dinosaurs in Albenga and the thousands of people — me among them — captivated by the show demonstrates that the animal aggressiveness fascinates. Like we were, eventually, in front of the most authentic ourselves.
And that’s a matter of fact!
Just as my short story of X and his descendants elaborates, I think: don’t you?
