On 25 April, for me, has always been an important date. I've always had a desire to share this moment of remembrance of our great history with others. When I was in high school (many years ago), organized in full swing, a public reading of letters death row inmates' resistance . That text was for us and for me a source of great emotion, he made us feel the greatness and the fragility of those men, those young people approaching death with equanimity, at times, with regret and anger at not being able to capture more of life, driven by the ideals and civic passion. As rightly suggests Zagrebelski Gustavo, who wrote the introduction to the latest edition of the book "Letters Sentenced to death of the Italian Resistance " (ed. Einaudi ) this book was considered a Once "one of the training books that put young people are faced with the ethical issues." But in his interviews also adds a little more, a question arises: "What made us change ? Because these words appear they come from a world so distant from our own? ".
Already thing. This year I decided to change the script. I decided to pass an April 25 different from other years. I slipped the book into a bag, I took the train and left for Naples. I learned to read the book excerpts randomly choosing a bit 'on the train and a bit' in Naples in search of initiatives for the week of culture, wanting to find some unusual aspect of the usual chaotic and Naples.
As I paused to read, I looked around, intensity and passion of those poignant words bounced a routine deafening, glanced to get some signal, and although few posters on the walls, a lot of rhetoric, I felt that the distance from the public that " way of being "now has become abysmal.
The newspapers reported that April 25 was a television, a chance for politicians to fight each other (?), Fini and Berlusconi, to be present, always, television and the media. He even has been much talk the fact that Berlusconi has participated for the first time in the celebrations of 25 April. Beautiful view. What light is this? What this tells us meravigliasi ? The cynicism has no limits now. You can change the face of opinion and what you want, you can do it shamelessly, highlighting its objectives with dazzling clarity. In fact, the resistance will not give a damn about anyone, but rather a reminder that we must get rid of as a place for the founding of our republic. The trick, if I may say so is to get hold of to clear meaning. Made an argument "as the other" (including jokes) is uprooted from its breeding ground and utilized as a tool to overshadow the other "competitor".
I'm not here to dwell on the real purpose of such spectacular. What I want to point out is that the logic of communication tends to flatten everything. For it is not necessary to deny or criticize something (this would be an act of opposition that would lead to a dialectic and perhaps a critical thinking), we must instead narcotize making any superficial thing, which is unrelated to the search for truth, authenticity. It seems that in today's world these words are inappropriate. Indeed we must be cautious not to fall into utter rhetoric or not to cross over into fanaticism and fundamentalism.
The only thing I say is that all this must be resisted. That is why, as a lay hermit, I wanted these letters as "prayers, meditations intended for my (our)" soul "civil. For one day I was free by the deafening noise of the trains and the city.
