L'Italia? O sarà federale o continuerà a non essere


Ci aspettano mesi di triste retorica risorgimentale, di sfarzo forzato e di lugubri luoghi comuni sull’unità d’Italia. Il 150° anniversario dell’unità italiana rischia di essere un’impietosa carnevalata cara alle forze massoniche e anticlericali che hanno in mano l’establishment pseudo-culturale e salottiero di certa borghesia italiana. Rischia di essere una festa non sentita dal popolo.
Suoneranno le fanfare tricolori, play the notes of a country that does not exist yet. One hundred and fifty 'years were not enough to create a nation alive, united, true. So much red tape, many dark pages, a 'horrible civil war, a couple of world wars and a permanent parliamentary dictatorship-patronage: more substantial and worthy of mention has produced the recent history of united Italy. A little of the sublime was produced after the passage of Cavour, of Garibaldi and Victor Emmanuel.
Yet the "boot" is a land that has written the most glorious pages of world history, from ancient imperial Rome, first pagan and then Christian, through the heroic resistance of the Northern League in Milan Lombard against foreign oppression of Barbarossa, leading up to the commitment of the great anti-Islamic Blessed Marco d'Aviano, in Vienna in 1683, contributed in some manner to repel the invasion of the Ottoman army.
We should be proud of our history and personalities that have helped shape the character and save the blood of our peoples. We should be able to reappraise the profound identity, religious and historical, that contributed significantly to the image stand out plural, rich and beautiful of all those lands that go down to the south by the Alpine rocks of the Mediterranean. Francesco Guicciardini
Very properly maintained, già più di cinquecento anni fa, che l’Italia è la patria del “particulare”: scorre nelle nostre vene quel robusto ed irresistibile amore, tutt’altro che deteriore, per la propria città, per la propria tradizione e per la propria gente.
Qualche incauto osservatore perbenista liquiderebbe, e liquida, questa peculiarità come volgare campanilismo. Molti professoruncoli tardo-risorgimentali credono che l’amore per il proprio “campanile” sia antitetico al bene comune: nient’affatto. Chi non sa amare la sua “piccola patria” non potrà mai essere in grado di costruire una “patria più grande”.
Lo scriveva già, negli anni Sessanta del last century, the young Adriano Romualdi, "loathed by the pathologist of each nationalism - nationalism as pride, as energy nationalism, nationalism as courage - it can not rise to the authority and legitimacy of a new, larger nation. Neither those who have theorized the distrust of the nation as such, the love of a larger home. "
What was absent during the nineteenth century, forced political unification of Italy it was the sense of "homeland": the true goal of the "resurgence", Mason and the Enlightenment, was the creation of a state apparatus and institutional unit only anti-Catholic. Missing people, missing people throughout the heat "unitary" small homelands Po Valley, and southern Apennines were trampled in the name of an ideological project to create table a handful of notables.
limits the outcome, after the breach of Porta Pia, are the most obvious fact: Italy has only existed in its most artificial and aesthetic. What has always lacked was the one truly national spirit, instead, characterizes many European nations.
The sense of Italian home is just outside the stadiums and at the carousel of fans, after a few victories of the national football elsewhere sense latita tricolor. And the reason for this inaction is due not to some conspiracy League: just the "Italians" before you feel tricolor feel Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy, Veneto, Friuli, Emilia, Romagna, Tuscany, Marche, Abruzzo, Rome, Campania, Puglia, Calabria, Basilicata, Sicily and Sardinia.
The sense of belonging to a "greatest country" can only go through the recognition of different local and regional identity: a question of proximity, closeness, blood and language.
just felt strongly anchored to our roots and regional community we can develop a more responsible and inclusive sense of national belonging. There will be no rhetoric nor the imposition and united to form a new Italy. There will be more or less artificial anniversaries to restore a sense of logic faded flag. Federalism serves.
Need to develop a cultural and political sensibility that sees in the many areas of the Italian people and the strength on which to build a new federal homeland. By the peoples of the North has already been raised, proud, loud and clear, the voice of change: Padania there and beat her more vibrant political coup.
now is to be able to explain even the most quarrelsome and obtuse centralist Jacobin that Italy will be tomorrow or federal or will not be. The people of the North felt it necessary to defend with tooth and nail, his own identity, their family and their work to still look to tomorrow with a smile: Federalism is the only way by which it can pass a true and complete Italian unification Federal.
Padania is not Italy and conceptual entities and inevitably conflicting policies: Federalism may be the turning point of the territorial balance, Italian economic and productive and can serve as a historical task of the federation of the peoples and regions of Italy.
From a complete implementation of federalism will also train tomorrow's Europe, because, as prophesied Gianfranco Miglio, "The twenty-first century for Europe was announced with the death knell, and the reason is that there is so determined to celebrate a revival. Brussels thinks the community of tomorrow as a great nation-state, and false for an expanded version of its member countries. But if it does not refer to the Maastricht euro-region is born old, already outdated. "
Without federalism, without identity or history, in essence, do not go anywhere and do not build any future. So it is time to move on: to build our future, the federal tomorrow.
