because you have to break down the myths Mazzini to discover a new and real national identity
In this era of spiritual crisis, the need to seek a new identity to find a deeper meaning to things and get out of a materialistic and individualistic perspective that has contained an unbearable loneliness in a society, the question is how to bridge this gap.
In the 150th anniversary of of Italy back in vogue, softly and timidly, strong words such as nation, identity, Italian, perhaps of the widespread confusion about who Lega stew with all its contradictions, its slogan violently naive and banal, and, as a result, his anti-Italian language has sparked a mechanism of self-defense by people who, in response to anti-right Northern League has dusted the drawer until the flag that recently went out into the open only during the World Cup.
is not easy to give an identity from one day to another, particularly when terms such as nationalism and patriotism have been heavily dismantled attacked since the war by both right and left and the Italian Risorgimento, which was inspired by Rome is emptied out and exorcised from its Latin component used and abused during the Fascist period, past awkward and cumbersome. And of course the confused and cautious rhetoric of today's politicians is not much help to the formation of a new identity.
Yet all are unanimous in giving the Risorgimento a key role in the creation of our national spirit, and men like Mazzini, Garibaldi and Cavour considered heroes of undisputed moral and political value guided by sound principles, models especially admire and to be followed in these years difficult and chaotic. And here comes in Romania as glue and foundation of national consciousness of the country. What is not only right but necessary, because imagine Italy without a spirit of Rome, Italy that was not designed for the first time together for the first time as a nation and its people from Rome to deny its existence in its Italy more authentic and primordial soul that has since guided our land shaping the thought and ethics.
The Risorgimento not reinvent the wheel, but gave the Romans a formal role as the only nation to identify, and then, especially in environments Traditional heroes Mazzini are the apotheosis of patriotism without blemish and without fear, paladins good and righteous that we liberated from the yoke of a Pope and a Bourbon ruthless and cruel tyrant.
This always as they say, crowning the Risorgimento in a matter of propaganda and exciting where there is no room for doubt and historical reflection in a battle that we are shown how the "good triumphing over evil. "
But is it really? We have our identity to the unification of the Roman and Risorgimento only by returning to the values \u200b\u200bwe really regain a new national consciousness based on ancient and authentic values?
In fact, the Roman identity was severely damaged by the false trappings of patriotic Risorgimento before and after the fascist fake and lengthy scenes, both took advantage of a glorious past awkwardly (as they did before various conquerors and tyrants) in an era of nationalism and inciting ideological blinded Europe diverting the true meaning of the story only to legitimize their authority and justify their presence. The truth in the service of politics.
There are examples of this kind in the continent: the awakening "Gallic" of France honored as patriotic leaders and little-known ancient characters, the exaltation of mythical Irish heroes "Celtic" and a prelude to legitimize war against England's stepmother, who is the newly Romania autoimpose a Latin origin while to shake off the influence turkish and slavic, all motivated by a racial and nationalist thinking very much in vogue of the time. Italy could be left behind? And who if not inspired by the glorious Roman past and enviable?!
Thus the Risorgimento appropriated the concept of Romania, nationalization, customize it and somehow "privatized" and making it alien to the rest of Europe (which owes a lot while in Rome) segregation in the geographical boundaries of the new state.
And now everywhere, especially in Rome, as evidence of a "return to origin", were erected monuments in baroque and classical style often disproportionate, often over the ruins of ancient buildings connected with the history of the city demolished to make room for new and idealized Rome. Striking example is the gigantic and monstrous Altare della Patria, where its size is that the materials used make it totally out of place in relation to its and the surrounding architecture ... but that makes it even more cumbersome is that its setting has completely isolated and hidden palaces and Michelangelo's Piazza del Campidoglio, the ancient heart of Rome.
Among the paradoxes and uncertainties gradually "became Italy." But the Italians?
While the picks transformed the image of Rome, in the rest of the continued massacres and persecution. Why yes, in the shade myth of "good vs. evil" there was actually more complex and obscure, that the heroic resistance against the troops south of Savoy which instead of bringing order and "civilization" burned villages and massacred the population.
Soon unit shows its true face, and the "liberators" dropped the mask that covered the base expansionist. It was an occupation.
winning projects were completed some time in the salons of Savoy in Turin when the state torn and crushed by debt, by bureaucracy and corruption (all good qualities that the Italian has inherited) threatened the bank's final route. There were only two solutions: the destruction or the war, and knowing the abundant riches of Bourbon they opted for the latter. And so it was that the speakers of Rome and Naples raise the budget of Piedmont.
The conquest was fully supported by international Masonic and Protestant powers, France and England in the head, which had all the advantages to clear once and for all nations uncomfortable Italic and Catholic, that the influence of papal Rome and the military power of the United duosiciliano close to Spain, which prevented attendance in London supremacy over the Mediterranean. It is well known that it was the British fleet to prevent ships running in Naples to Sicily reinforcement occupied by Garibaldi. Moreover, in the same Cavour \u0026lt;\u0026lt; Italy is not built with the support of the Italian population, but with the support of the international liberal governments>>
Among international intrigue, commercial and political ambitions, maneuvers of Freemasonry (there is only one "hero" who was not affiliated Risorgimento some loggia), Italy was united, at the expense of a fierce and desperate resistance that sadly passed into history as "banditry".
This means demonize and fight the unification of Italy? Absolutely not, because Italy had to be united. But it should also be aware that what happened was not for the good of the country, and oppose the false unity that we must hope for a true and sincere national unity that truly unite us all as brothers. What there was was not the only possible way forward, but the opposite is true: the nations of Italy, and especially the people were in support of a spontaneous unity.
who foolishly accuses the Papal States, or Duosiciliano, they have been for centuries because of the political fragmentation of Italy does not remember or do not know what feelings were present in their unit before the actions of pirates a Mazzini or Garibaldi financed by foreign powers, and widespread was the desire to create a federal state with papal Rome capital while maintaining the identity and autonomy of the various nations of Italy and has an ancient past and rich tradition of culture that were swept ... away from the arms of Savoy.
So the question arises: how to assign the role of "Father of the Nation" that a foreign sovereign subject of foreign kings who humbled and deleted the traditions of our land?
was in this paradox where the "new Italians" slaughtered "old Italian" and where he chose Rome for Mother of the Nation the day after he gunned down the Aurelian walls and demolished half the town that Roman took on a sinister meaning and improper for the entire population. The fascist regime with its mannered and awkward noises and theatrical propaganda completed the work.
Hence, in response to the case made in this paper, we the people of Italy we can not and must not give the Risorgimento any maternity on a Roman identity, so much so that national, which reality has heavily discredited and made obnoxious by bad choices and often shameful.
But precisely because we recognize the primary role of the Roman world of our national spirit that we must therefore break down the myths of Mazzini and distance.
If there is Pater Patriae one must recognize that we can only find in the pages of our early history, the work of Augustus had made the inhabitants of this peninsula, a self-conscious and united people, united by moral values \u200b\u200band spiritual elements that characterize a "Country Soul".
The key to a national awakening and patriotic away from the trappings and rhetoric but full of ideals and inspiration lies in the awareness of our identity and our roots, stripping it of obsolete and outdated prejudices: the only way we a people united in spirit. A people-Roman Italic.
