RICEVIAMO E CON PIACERE PUBBLICHIAMO THE NEW CYCLE OF THE GOOD PEOPLE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MEETINGS BOLOGNETTA
The anniversary of 150 years of national unification can be an opportunity for a lot of excitement with the risk of rhetoric (the Risorgimento epic turned into mythology or martyrology), for contempt and rejection of others (such as the forced cohabitation between different units). Perhaps the wisest position would be to use the sesquicentennial anniversary to reflect light and shadow on Italy that was built by our fathers, that we are building and what we can build the next generation. "Making the Italians", assuming that all it wants, it may be a task that will require more time and effort: while we try to understand what aspects of the prevailing national character and what positive and negative behaviors have become part of the culture and custom of this part of Europe. To provide opportunities for reflection and stimulus for discussion before the celebrations and festivities put a damper on further study and comparison, the University of Bolognetta popular, in recent years has hosted a workshop on prehistoric Sicily and one on the Greek Sicily, organized in 2011 a series of meetings called "Sicilia 150. Unification of globalization "that will be developed from February to May. The first meeting will have as speakers Claudio Paterna, president of the National Institute for the Unification - Committee Palermo Ingrassia Michelangelo and the historic University of Palermo, which will address the topic: Sicily and Sicilians in the path towards unity 'D' ITALY (1820-1861). So far
Holy Lombino. Part
well this series of meetings organized by this University People's collecting more and more positive assessments. The theme, which is indistinguishable from a thousand similar proposals, it was not very attractive, and details of speakers unknown, but now it is imposed from the start thanks to an extraordinary verve of the whole team. Even the presentation is dry and has given the go-to essential interventions conducted with skill. Even the mayor, starting from the evening in Sanremo Benigni became carried away by the comedian that easily passes from Dante to Garibaldi, from minors to beat out of date. He has missed the insecurity of a strong discomfort when Benigni does not use hooks bawdy. He married well the program, proud to have a staff of top quality. Paterna Claudio last year and has learned with quotes (well point out that no references are not qualified scholars). Michael Ingrassia, which showed the true fabric of historic niche news and new interpretations, a resurgence of a failure on the other side we brought out new characters or not estimated from 1820 until late today. He made more human myths and heroes from all known quasi-unreal. A chart and a super organization, stripped of popular literature, but no less fascinating. The myth that first lit Garibaldi, Mazzini, Cavour and others have come out stronger from untouchable in humans, but in any case exceptional. Place them in context, widely described by the two speakers, real and 360 degrees has been exciting for all involved. We all found the right place at the right time with every piece in place. Without smearing. I was surprised by the calm eye-catching display that has pushed the public on the contents. Can be proud of this mayor can count on this team. A librarian, who knows how to treat its guests, Santo Lombino I do not find him, but those present seemed to students in class. Yes, a good start this cycle of meetings.
