Today March 7, 2011, in the Field of Culture of the English Court of Walk Independence, in Zaragoza, has presented audiovisual Joaquín Costa, funeral and tomb , based on Fat Aurelio photographs taken on the occasion of the funeral of the famous Aragon in Zaragoza in February 1911, publishing its first books and artistic works that were made in his honor as the three draft sketches mausoleum José Bueno, unpublished in his image and that have been presented for the first, and a portrait of Joachim Balasanz Victorian Coast, 1913.
The conference was organized by the Royal Photographic Society Zaragoza, and was presented by his deputy, Dr. Santiago Chóliz, who made an in-depth portrait of the figure of Costa and his historical moment. Aurelio Fat daughter Teresa spoke about the techniques employed by his father on this occasion and the collaboration of the Archives of the great pianist Pilar Bayona Oscar Esplá performing works in this second part. All this belongs to the archive documentation graphic and audiovisual Fat Barboza was made by Francis Barboza Fat, grandson of the photographer. Reporter Heraldo de Aragón, Juan Dominguez Lasierra sent us the following for this occasion:
raining when Costa's body through the streets of Zaragoza Road Torrero. Could not be otherwise. More than 30,000 people had passed before his body. Thousands more accompanied his remains to his final resting place. Unless the streets and squares that swept the procession, the rest of the city was deserted. Zaragoza had no other task that day to bury Costa. It was Sunday February 12 and raining, a symbol of pain but also of regeneration, costista commitment. As Costa's own death, in the sense of those who wept sincerely hoped that the end of its passage through this world a reason to revive their legacy, to fulfill its redemptive message. Death and resurrection of Costa.
And Zaragoza funeral lived the biggest event in its history. Also the biggest explosion of grief and affection to anyone. And that the fate of the remains of Costa controversy was absent. A figure of his stature was made to the Pantheon of Illustrious Men of the motherland. But Aragon reclaimed. A Herald campaign set in motion within hours of his death. He found general support. Although there were stronger impulses. Embalmed body of the deceased, day 10, at o'clock in the morning, the coffin came from Graus in a galley Barbastro way. He received the first honor of the population and surrounding villages. Transported to shoulder the burial box to the station, the train started its trip to Madrid. But between Barbastro and Graus was Zaragoza, and there thousands of locals willing to have their remains will not pass on the season of Arrabal. And here they stayed. The hardworking Baturro finally managed to stop the train, and never left. Costa had expressed the desire to be buried in The Force, a mountainous area that he saw from the balcony of his house Graus. And others imagined that would only Moncayo at the height of its glory as eternal rest. Costa's head there, as in a new Memorial Valley, his voice would reach gale moncaína from all corners of Aragon.
Coast had become a legend in his lifetime, and his death could not remain indifferent to the final discussion of so many heroes. Cheney, his latest biographer, notes the fact, "bizarre and symbolic" in the registry Torrero Cemetery has no record of his burial, his body does not exist officially. Who knows if in the end, Costa got his wish, his ashes are mixed grausina land with the Forces. But the fact is that Costa, the legend, the symbol, the new Moses of Spain during the exodus, is buried in Zaragoza publicly.
all the respect, admiration, the fervor that inspired the personality of Costa life at his funeral was the time of hatching. A sentimental overflow of such caliber as little is known in English history. As if such veneration, so much love, thanks so much accumulated along its path generous public man had not sufficiently reflected in life, people, ordinary people, the people whom he had always goal of delivering vital, perhaps understanding reached at the final moment, in their final withdrawal, which disappeared a man, a man without peer, only this time in English history for its uncompromising honesty, with whom he had a debt infinite. Hatching, the overflow burial Costa was the payment of that debt, but no missing momentum in the guilt of those who, in recent years "Graus lion" of a coast that was reached to qualify as a "great failure" did not have with him the recognition he deserved the generous, the absolute dedicating his life to the cause of others. Costa's funeral was a flood of all these feelings, summarized in two, admiration and debt.
Already the first of the Herald editorial, just know the death of the illustrious Aragonese, as revealed with much pain, with clear proof of guilt
"Costa has died without Aragon, his homeland, has been proven by facts known to the love that you had one sow illustrious son, most exact, on whose generous spirit made no dent grievances, or ingratitude the offenses received in this land theirs, which embodied the higher fruits of his genius, the purest essence of intellect, the warmest glow of noble and courageous. Costa has died without receiving a tribute of admiration Aragon. With heartache we say, is dead without their countrymen Costa met with him in life, elemental and holy duties to which we were all required. "
After the coffin of Costa parade that evening of February 12, 1911 all Zaragoza, Spain's historical consciousness. So Herald headline the next day that day, full-page "National Tribute to Coast".
In that event we have numerous literary evidence. But we also have a graphic testimony of the first order: the photographs the young Aurelio fat, then photojournalist Heraldo de Aragón, performed for the newspaper to other media such as ABC, whose pictures were front page of the newspaper in Madrid. Both impressive tour of the remains of Costa by Zaragoza, already reported, as his burial in the cemetery of Torrero, were immortalized by the camera of the young Aurelius, with the limited means of the time, got a complete historical record of those moments. At the foot of one of the photographs published by the newspaper Zaragoza reads: "The coffin Costa at the time of being deposited in the tomb of Torrero Cemetery. Photograph obtained with light magnesium last night for the Heraldo de Aragón by Mr. Fat. " This simple caption and illustrates some significant details of their work. The chief of all, in addition to technical data, which Aurelio knew to be in place at the time of the news, the first duty of every reporter. In addition, Aurelio had been previously advanced to the location shooting event rest of that funeral before his body is occupied, and thereafter as may be seen in the video that is presented here, Aurelio continued to address the evolution of that Coast burial until the final conclusion of the mausoleum that honored the illustrious Aragonese Zaragoza. Photo of Aurelio milestone costista Fat is also the extraordinary portrait of the Herald study commissioned for dedicated photo gallery.
The video presented here is, for all, a historic document of the first order, while photography, whose recovery from the family deserves Barboza-Fat our gratitude. At this time of commemoration of the centenary of the death of Joaquin Costa, this realization is undoubtedly one of the greatest contributions of novelty and interest. A tribute of exceptional importance.
