we will celebrate on March 17, without enthusiasm or solemnity. Celebrate its history as Italy and we received a lot, for good and evil, of what we are, and why for the good of our country We are always committed. Without too much solemnity, because it is not the prettiest nor the most important national historical dates.
Del Mar. 17, 1861 remains the tricolor flag, which is also in the Constitution. There is no longer the kingdom or the Savoy or unredeemed, or discriminatory laws among the Italians, nor restricted suffrage, nor the state religion. Thank God That event was the work of some people's share, but most of the arms of Savoy, the French, the Prussians and Garibaldi (opponents allies), the stables of Cavour at the expense of soldiers forced peasants, and bourgeois idealists and nationalists .... Yet it was also a seed, an initial event of freedom, all to be implemented in the daily life of the poor and helpless.
The most important dates, glorious or shameful, that we are loved in Italy, are others. The real unity of Italy is January 1, 1948, when the Constitution came into force, the work most of our civil and human history. This is also an event-promise and commitment, is the profound duty of our people, in all the betrayals, the barbarism, ignorance, textures, falls and recoveries of these 63 years.
The Day of the Republic and the Constitution (this must be the full name of that day) is traditionally set on 2 June, the feast of the first popular vote. This is the Italian Festival bigger and more beautiful. So unarmed party, which shall not see military parades. Even as the highest symbol of Italy Democratic weapons are not the sad, but the participation of everyone to a life of its own people, that is the policy of all aware of all the votes, which directs the choices in the light of constitutional values.
Then we also have other memories: Some Faust, memories of life, more ominous, and memories of grief and national repentance. The mourning civil war (that of "banditry") that inaugurated the Kingdom of Italy, the fruit of ignorance and imposition of a policy dedicated to protecting estates and build more barracks, schools and hospitals. On 20 September 1870, when, after the 1866 war (war unnecessary, because Austria had offered Italy the Veneto in exchange for neutrality), even Rome Italy could join without gaps or shots, or dead ( 19 papal soldiers, who had to show their protest against the pope, and 49 Italian soldiers), if the papacy over the centuries had come to know Christ more than Constantine. On November 4, 1918, when, with the 'useless massacre, "an immense waste of blood of the people (while on maintaining neutrality would be obtained" a lot "of Giolitti), were taken not only Italian-speaking lands, but also Austrian lands, in the myth of the superiority of Latin thug, as yet proclaims the stupid written on the arch of victory in Bolzano.
Italy was half dead October 28, 1922 and January 3, 1925, was wholly dead June 10, 1940. Half was reborn on September 8, 1943 (not the "death of the fatherland," but the beginning of a rebirth: treason right though weak criminal alliance with Nazism) was reborn very popular with the Resistance, the struggle of the partisans, the firmness of 600 thousand military internees who refused a parole to the collaboration with the Reich, and it was all born again April 25, 1945.
After the clear days and dark nights of the past decades, today Italy fighting a blood infection, very serious in dealing expanse of illusions, false words carefully in order to deceive, myths easy to dupe, which sap the spirits and corrupt, power that boasts of its impunity, Empire of appearances, all good value and reduced to a commodity exchange and consumption. These and other viruses have spread individualism antisolidale: precisely the reverse Unit celebrated. But Italy is not dead. Something in her fight to heal.
