To put it more secular, our President has not hit the cup.
last few days have started the celebrations of the sesquicentennial anniversary of the Unification of Italy Giorgio Napolitano and is attending conferences and taking a little bit everywhere. Just yesterday, while he was in Ravenna, the PDR comes out with a sentence that left me somewhat displaced, all the more reason that a man who has held the position of the Guarantor of the Constitution, he had never spoken out of turn. In short, the President expressed his hope that the North (as represented in the speech from the city of Milan, Venice and Verona) "should be conscious of how they became Italian."
clear reference to the Northern League is pushing for federalism. But there is a "Ma".
premise: I believe that my argument can be empty and useless, but the fact remains that the former senator for life has made a gaffe, and I say this as an Italian.
saying what he said, Napolitano has forgotten that, if Italy is now a unitary state, it is due mainly to the north and cities such as Turin, Bergamo, who says about 800 of the 1031 Garibaldi's redshirts, and Chicago, Five Days that were decisive in convincing the Kingdom of Sardinia to war for independence.
Speaking that way, also seems to suggest that the South is happy and harmonious unity. What patently false, just look at the current revision and separatist recently have a lot of interest in Sardinia (Michela Murgia, anyone? ) and in Campania. Mica is born today or various partelli Sardinian independence secessionists.
From the perspective of literary, Pino Aprile and his Terroni are a case in point: A book in which you point your finger at the conquest of Piedmont and the (alleged) responsibility of leadership of the time on the current conditions of the South . Obviously, the critics neglect the most pressing and urgent problems of the then newly born and "why" has implemented a piemontesizzazione and not a Italianization .
Moreover, the populace seems to believe that the collapse of the Kingdom of Naples was a tragedy for the South, as the Savoy "have stolen money" and that "they were one of the Kingdoms most modern in Europe." True, if we believe in fairy tales.
The Kingdom of Naples was the most backward and corrupt kingdom of Italy (unfortunately, things have changed then is not that much in a century and a half), with a population more often than not starving. They must have had quite a bundle of money, but they were in the hands of the Bourbons and the powerful, not the populace, if I may use a joke, or situation was so, or already at the time administrators are not distinguishable from Campania capacity for economic management and efficiency.
Among other things, history tells us that in the last days of the Kingdom Ferdinand IV, close by Garibaldi in the south of Piedmont in the north and from the front, shook agreements with the Camorra groped to face the enemy, because the army (which, standop the revisionists, had so much love my nation, prosperous and magnanimous) had mutinied. Viva modernity.
summary, good Napolitano, in my opinion, could prevent its release. Of course one might think that my argument is a nonsense, but this morning I went to the Susan Okin of the situation. The truth perhaps it is that Italy will never be truly united, divided as it is of secular parochialism.
