El comer\u00e7 en general, les botigues i els establiments comercials s\u00f3n un dels puntals b\u00e0sics en l\u2019economia actual i en la imatge externa d\u2019una vila tur\u00edstica de primer ordre com \u00e9s Sitges. La qualitat, la varietat, la novetat i tamb\u00e9 l\u2019originalitat han estat els trets distintius que han caracteritzat el comer\u00e7 sitget\u00e0, un model comercial que ha conservar les traces d\u2019una tradicional fisonomia adaptant-se al temps moderns. Art modern i art antic han conviscut en fr\u00e0gil equilibri en el Sitges dels nostres avis i en el Sitges d\u2019avui.<\/p>\n
Si ens centrem en el comer\u00e7 de l\u2019art, en el mercat de les antiguitats junt amb el de comer\u00e7 de brocanters i l\u2019adre\u00e7at a col\u00b7leccionistes d\u2019objectes rars i singulars o als de\u00a0 numism\u00e0tica i filat\u00e8lia podrem comprovar que hist\u00f2ricament a Sitges aquest \u00e0mbit ha estat un dels sectors estrat\u00e8gics, fonamentals en la seva identitat de vila cultural i art\u00edstica.<\/p>\n
Primer Santiago Rusi\u00f1ol i despr\u00e9s el nord-americ\u00e0 Charles Deering per\u00f2 tamb\u00e9 molts d\u2019altres col\u00b7leccionistes com el doctor P\u00e9rez Rosales i artistes actuals com Miguel Cond\u00e9, Pere St\u00e4mpfli o Manuel Blesa han fet de Sitges un referent en les arts i per conseq\u00fc\u00e8ncia en les antiguitats i el col\u00b7leccionisme. La renovaci\u00f3 i modernitzaci\u00f3 d\u2019un sector tan tradicional com \u00e9s el de les arts i les antiguitats no ha superat les successives crisis, actualment assistim al declivi i al tancament d\u2019establiments que conferien sabor antic i autenticitat a la Ribera sitgetana. Lloren\u00e7 \u00e9s el darrer dels antiquaris sitgetans que s\u2019ha vist emp\u00e8s a tancar el seu caracter\u00edstic \u201cCau Ferrat\u201d parat als baixos de Can Fal\u00e7 fent cantonada amb el carrer de la Carreta. Les finestres enreixades resten ara empaperades i buides.<\/p>\n
Aquesta crisi permanent del sector de les arts i les antiguitats, la temporalitat del turisme a batzegades, la malaltissa depend\u00e8ncia dels factors conjunturals varen ser representats fidelment per l\u2019artista Josep Maria Rossell\u00f3 en el plaf\u00f3 que encara avui es pot veure a la paret mitgera de la Pizzeria del Cap de la Vila on la figura del mariner\u00a0 sitget\u00e0\u00a0 cal\u00e7at amb una sabata i una espardenya s\u2019emporta damunt l\u2019espatlla la blanca sirena esdevinguda personificaci\u00f3 de la Blanca Subur. Una versi\u00f3 del\u00a0 m\u00edtic Rapte d\u2019Europa transposat a la nostra contemporane\u00eftat, malgrat que el plaf\u00f3 conti ja els quaranta i tants anys a les seves espatlles. De manera simb\u00f2lica Rossell\u00f3 va retratar aquesta idea d\u2019una Sitges quim\u00e8rica, blanca i bella raptada per Diego Ruiz, metge fil\u00f2sof, un d\u2019aquells personatges singulars que van construir l\u2019imaginari d\u2019un blanc refugi sitget\u00e0.<\/p>\n
Els temps canvien per\u00f2 l\u2019ess\u00e8ncia roman: la recent troballa de l\u2019anell d\u2019or d\u2019\u00e8poca romana en el Rac\u00f3 de la Calma, les prospeccions submarines de les restes de vaixells davant la platja de l\u2019Estanyol, la restauraci\u00f3 del can\u00f3 del Baulard i tants d\u2019altres elements patrimonials ens transporten en el temps fent de Sitges aquest indret m\u00e0gic on la modernitat i els temps antics es donen la ma en un present que cerca mantenir el que encara resta.<\/p>\n
El comer\u00e7 de l\u2019art, el mercat d\u2019antiguitats i el col\u00b7leccionisme ens remet a aquest m\u00f3n submergit que podem descobrir si netegem les ulleres amb l\u2019elixir fant\u00e0stic que Fernanda Krahn-Uribe ens proposa en la seva hist\u00f2ria \u201cEl limpiagafas cu\u00e0ntico\u201d editat per Siruela. Divertida visi\u00f3 d\u2019un Sitges modern i antic alhora.<\/p>\n
