April 1, 2010 I'm working on a CD and a book on music, history and stories of the Castelli Romani. I run the audio tapes made by the thirty or forty years ago. A worker from a construction site that busy to explain what the "sorecchio" which went on to claim unused land says, "is the scythe, like the one that's on the emblem of the red flag." Women hearing on March 8, 70, who sing "we are conscious that part \\ of the people who fight and work". The Unity Party of Albania, in 1975, the Italian solemn hymns of the proletariat: “ci han promesso una dimane \ la diman s’aspetta ancor”. Tiberio Ducci nel 1976 che racconta le storie dell’insurrezione per il pane del 1898. Renato Trinca in un’osteria di Rocca di Papa nel 1969, uno stornello: “vita da cani \ perché noi siamo tutti disoccupati”. Silvano Spinetti detto Cicala, con l’orchestrina (il violinista aveva imparato a suonare al confino a Ventotene): “uno, non lo può saper nessuno, manco Andreotti col curato può saper per chi ha votato e se mai si pentirà…” E suo padre Dandolo, che veniva a Roma a portare il vino e che nel 1910 aveva composto in carcere i “comandamenti del socialismo”: “Uno, evviva Giordano Bruno said that the truth ... "And he sang the song of the partisans of the Castles," Now that liberated Rome \\ the whole world will rise up "...
Already, the partisans. I open the newspaper and I hear that high school programs in the Resistance is not even mentioned. In those affected, it appears that talk of the Templars, people and passions that have existed in the depths of history, but that does not concern us most. Yet so little time has passed, yet these are people I met and heard not centuries ago. "E 'implicit', the officials said Gelmini - just like the Templars. Maybe they're right: even in the program of the Democratic Party had forgot to mention it, the Resistance, and we had to pull the sleeve at least in words because we put it on.
the conscious part of people who struggle and work, the Resistance had raised high hopes for tomorrow - a tomorrow to share together, not one by one in competition with everyone. "History, can not you see, the march toward freedom," sang "Cicala". But Rome was liberated and the whole way is not risen, no one works with sorecchio, and let's leave the red flag. And as for history, there have even said it was over.
For this reason, insist on the Resistance today is not a matter of nostalgia, or to fight on the card battles armies of seventy ago. It 'a matter of understanding where we can go and try now that hope, that tomorrow, that story, and by what means and with what symbols. Resistance did not mean the past, meant the future (the future verbs are almost all working class hymns and songs of many partisan), but the future is precisely what we miss today. Arrogance of power and the opposition resignation converge: erase or forget the resistance is to affirm or accept that the world will never change, that power will always be in the hands stretched out, we can not do anything but resign ourselves to adapt and carry on, each as he can. And I would add: to live well, do not need to knowledge. We can get rid of geography in schools, resize the literature in universities, impoverish the story, impoverish the language. And we will be available subjects and dumb, without visions of other worlds, other places, other times.
Yet history is not only what is written in books and programs that require ministerial and who remember the party programs. Even the castles have changed in the few decades that research (I remember ten years ago the son of a murdered at the Fosse Ardeatine who voted Berlusconi said communist but because he said that in the interests of his small company). But: it is not the same thing, but in these disastrous regional Emma Bonino took in Genzano il 61,9 per cento, e persino i rottami della sinistra fra loro hanno racimolato più dell’otto per cento. Forse da qualche parte, un po’ afona e un po’ vergognosa, un poco di resistenza con la minuscola si annida ancora.
