the poster 11/10/2010 (but published for the first time in September 2003)
In 1987 we made a number of days in Rome Sung. I went with Nicole to talk Gallerano Aldo Natoli, and the presence of Nicola helped me overcome the subjection to the person that I consider my example and reference of moral and political style before. We talked about the popular Rome Natoli discovered after the war and who helped to seek a ransom. These stories were exciting because they were strict with his restraint that gives shape to feelings deeper and less easily.
"I am a metics in Rome, a Sicilian who have lived since my early youth qui,” spiegava, “ma non posso dire di essermi mai profondamente acclimatato con gli umori popolari. In fondo, io prima di diventare comunista ero un giovane intellettuale aristocratico. O per lo meno pretendevo di esserlo. Questo nocciolo è rimasto abbastanza dentro di me. Ma stavo molto bene con loro; e in questo forse vi era il ricordo del modo come io mi ero proletarizzato, in un certo senso, quando stavo in galera. Però dal punto di vista culturale in fondo io ho mantenuto sempre questa ristrettezza - stavo per dire autonomia, ma preferisco dire ristrettezza aristocratica.”
Su questa coscienza della diversità si fonda una passione senza populismo: “Nell’attività politica che ho svolto prima di essere arrestato, that is, between the end of '35 and the end del'39, I have never had contact with a worker. The party pointed out to us the requirement not to have contacts in working-class. This would lead to [also] the fact that the working-class Roman, left, communist in particular, had been partially destroyed by repression and infiltration, police. So I had never met a working-class peasant. My first acquaintance was in jail. It made it easier for me in the development of some types of myth in relation to the working class and peasants. That is, when I remember the relationships I had in prison, with workers and peasants, should resist the myth. Do you understand? "There are those who idolized the class in astratto, e poi si dice deluso; e chi costruisce proprio sulla conoscenza un “mito” che dura tutta la vita.
Riascoltando il nastro, mi accorgo che quello che avevo preso per un intercalare è la parola chiave: “capisci?” Non racconta avventure, non si intenerisce sul passato, ma ci aiuta a capire che cosa è Roma, che cosa siamo noi. I fornaciai di Valle Aurelia, le donne di Trastevere che andavano al Divino Amore ma erano furiose contro l’articolo 7, il Quarticciolo (“al Quarticciolo c'era il Gobbo, in quel tempo. Capisci? Quindi c'era un intreccio, fra le frange, la base del partito e non solo questa piccola delinquenza locale ma il clan del Gobbo. E il Gobbo per un certo periodo di tempo He claimed to be communist, there "), Borgata Gordiani, Tormarancia -" You know, we had towards the suburbs, the suburbs of the underclass, a position that had nothing to do with respectability. And in this magma proletarian, with a very high percentage of immigrants from the South - without jobs, people make do: it was not yet time for hustlers, this came later - the party had an enormous prestige. They saw the party as the instrument of redemption. "
It was not just going there, into the village, but to bring it back in Rome: "The fight against the Atlantic Pact: how we could make that fight in the center of Rome, if not there was the participation of the villages? Del'47 But in the end, the issues of unemployment, we made a general strike that lasted two days. With an action, organized, formidable - to work in the center and periphery. And even with Gappisti actions: for example in the sense of paralyzing the transport trade by destroying the tramway, or sowing the four-headed nails. But in some villages, organizing strikes back. For example, building roads. "
When goodbye says:" days ago, I stopped for a streetcar route (Natoli's love for Rome, the proletariat has always been fully repaid) and asked me, Natoli, what are you doing? And I : I am not a communist party. " It 'a painful thing for those who lived in the party. But from that day I was proud of it too.
