I could talk about the forthcoming launch of the courses, but I leave the Bar with the task. Today I speak in tones too serious about something else.
"We are Valley, we have a dream in your heart, burn the flag." "The political movement known as 'Northern League - for the Independence of Padania' [...] has the purpose of achieving the independence of Padania through democratic methods and its international recognition as an independent and sovereign Federal Republic." What you see in the picture is a puppet of Garibaldi burned in Vicenza that defines "hero of the unclean." All this occurs at the threshold of the historic milestone of one hundred and fifty years of National Unity.
Have you followed in the conference which was held yesterday in the Great Hall? No? Well, you could see also from home via web streaming. Debate longish, sometimes a bit 'boring, but that hath been redeemed in the last bars thanks to the President of the Committee for the Celebration of the sesquicentennial Giuliano Amato.
Amato has often used the word "future": strange, the celebrations are intended to glorify the past, and the use of this term at first sight seems to creak with the atmosphere of remembrance. But no, because it celebrates the unification of Italy and what really connects is not the past, but the future. As pointed out by the same Amato, who managed to unite the young people who built that Italy was not their past, made of sometimes very different cultural roots, but the prospect of a single future, the possibility of building a future that saw them together. Today, however, often lose interest in the future, will improve the opportunities of the generations that follow us.
And when you lose the future, when you lose the thought of a common future, then you are lost, and also breaks up the past. Giuliano Amato: "But do you believe that there is need to research their ancestors in the Celtic and Gaelic if there was the prospect of building one? When there are several in the past is because they think different futures [...] Perhaps Italy that was built one hundred and fifty years ago was not the best, but maybe it was the only possible ". Even today, certainly are not the best country in the world, but we can not change the fact that we were born here, we belong there, no need to deny or be ashamed of being Italian, nothing will change the fact that we are. So, we want a bit 'of good to our country that needs it.
I know, I've slipped into rhetorical becoming almost ridiculous and tedious, but I do not care.
"We were for centuries
downtrodden and derided,
Why not one people,
Because we are divided.
Let one flag, one hope
us together
Already the hour has struck. "
