a growing debate on March 17, the day when we will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy. There is an argument that it must have and on whether or not to celebrate the windows gua a national holiday. Maybe not a bad thing, at least we all have to compare more honest and transparent. Personally, I remain convinced that at least once every 150 years there is need 24 hours to remember a great collective adventure that lifted a nation, where before there were only a scattered people and a territory disputed between foreign powers.
Twenty-four hours to celebrate the reasons for our common future. To regain respect and awareness of their cultural identity. To strengthen the bond between generations over time, and also the link between men and women who now live in the same place. It does not seem a trivial matter. I think it is worth devoting a day of celebration. Of course, as long that this is really not just a vacation day. Whether we celebrate in short, like a birthday. I wish this were not only in 2011, but every year. This is the meaning of March 17th and I can not share their opinions, sometimes very influential, who would like to downgrade to a celebration of this date, series B. I do not think I ever heard any voice rising in defense of national production, or education for June 2 or 25 April.
I would not want to be celebrated March 17 at the expense of other dates, it is clear. Yet he would make more sense to celebrate the day instead of the unity of Italian moments when the Italians are divided, as prevailed in the referendum when the republican system sorting monarchy. And I'm guilty of apology of fascism, though I think that the date of birth of the nation be seen in the Italian Risorgimento and the Liberation? The truth is that for too many years we have filled the absence of a day devoted to the unity of our people (as with all other peoples of the world) with others, but certainly not as important unifying. It will be said, but the day of the Unification of Italy does not join at all, rather divide.
said the President of the Province of Bolzano, they do note, though very politely of democracy, some political leaders of the majority. It is precisely for this reason that we desperately need to celebrate March 17. To commemorate the first place. That too much blood has been shed by the Italians and Austrians to reach a peace that led to Bolzano autonomy and prosperity, that the ships were called the Thousand Piedmont and Lombardy, but our nation was conceived and willed Federalist, but without the revolt of the Sicilian population would not have awakened the desire in the South of Italy, which then engulfed everything. I hope it is also an opportunity to remind those who think young people today are incapable of civil and political representation, which was a generation of young rebels to Italy.
People of twenty years or less, armed with new dreams and old rifles, threw if itself against the bayonets of a foreign army infinitely larger and more powerful, without fear. And he died, as Goffredo Mameli and many others. In the hope that subsequent generations would not have dropped the bloody witness of unity among the Italians. Do not you feel a bit 'children to talk about factories and productivity with the risk that these kids listen to us?
