G. Grosz, Berlin 1915
Grosz makes the idea of \u200b\u200bchaos , but art transcends time, and the work reflects well on our state.
The daily reality forces us to open our eyes to ask if we still the "Bel Paese", once admired for his natural and artistic beauty, a sense of freedom that you breathe the breath of a common identity, the breath of a historical process that is not immune from struggles and ; sacrifices gave us the 'Unit.
is undeniable that in a few years everything has changed, just look around to see that.
Today, Italy is the country of a few and is prey to a relentless deterioration at all levels
When young people shouting their anger at the lack of a proper social position and a future that is uncertain and precarious, and when the workers are demanding to be not just goods but people and when our monuments fall apart and fall with them our history and our identity, when all ' you prefer to be having, and when the substance is preferred pleasure when the interests of one and by far outweigh the good of the country, when the territories and people affected by disasters, they are abandoned, when the culture is no longer cultivated and when the town gathers in the street the death of the weakest and the stench of abandonment, it is clear that this is the country that has the appearance of the image and false promises, their substance.
the light of what is happening, the "Beautiful Country" today is only a utopia tinged with melancholy.
E. Munch, Despair, Melancholy, Solitude
Everyone is just the heart of the earth
pierced by a ray of sunshine:
and suddenly evening. "
(S. Quasimodo, 1901-1968)

(S. Quasimodo, 1901-1968)
A country that can no longer listen to the destitute and that nurtures a sense of belonging more to the story that one day we gave the Unification of Italy, sons and brothers, is a country that has lost its values, an Italy now difficult to celebrate.
The anniversary of the hundred and fifty years should compel us to re-open the history books, too long to get us closed again become aware of what we were.

A reminder, echo clear and emphatic words of Alessandro Manzoni's ode policy "March 1821":
About Gemini may Dora,
she Bormida the Tanaro bride
of Ticino and Orba wooded
scerner confused in the order Po
rapid reversal of those Mella
; Oglio and the mixed current
who ritorgliergli the
thousands of streams that poured the mouth of the Adda,

thousands of streams that poured the mouth of the Adda,
that once people resurrected
can be split into vulgar despised,
and back the years and fates,
prisci Push to grief;
a free people throughout
FIA or servant of the Alps and the sea;
one-at-arms of language, on the altar,
memory, blood and heart.

(vv. 17-32)
not without emotion that we look to the past belongs to us and where we come from, a past that never like today, the anniversary of one hundred and fifty invites us to reflect in the name of the flag, in memory of our "units".
Perhaps this event will make us think and this will be its most beautiful, inviting us to find a new understanding that, in addition of new symbols and new powers will give us a sense of what we were and what we want to be , with heaps of garbage at the door with different aspects that today we suffocate.
Italy is made, and now we must make Italians . This phrase Massimo D'Azeglio makes us think that even then you were aware that it was necessary to form the conscience of the Italians, that nothing is immune from struggles and sacrifices that must be consolidated and still preserve all attacks from our Unit , in sacred memory, indispensable in the present, which is the care of leaders realize what is still outstanding and that makes us look crippled the Risorgimento project.
This is also the meaning of the book Farewell my beautiful goodbye ... The history of the Risorgimento between words, images and music. A tribute to the arts and culture in general greatly contributed to the history of our Unit.
The book, published by Morgana Edizioni, will be distributed in bookstores in January 2011.
