Riporto un articolo pubblicato dalla Repubblica , Il giornale, mentre il Paese assiste inerme al governo of political squalor, received 4 messages every minute inbox open for the occasion, kicking off the book "View from outside." Readers were able to write and talk freely like Italy is seen abroad . How sad!
Italian, sorry for you "The Beautiful Country brings sadness.
Thousands of messages have arrived to our readers 'inbox' vistadafuori" to tell us that Italy is seen by the world. Among teasing and resignation, that's what we have read. ... And the story continues
ROME - Four messages per minute. A storm of letters from abroad and come to blows tell us what you think of Italy across the border, in the light of recent scandals involving the prime minister. Vistadafuori@repubblica.it 2 is a box open to all Italians abroad, which you can entrust their testimony in today's Italy.
Sad Italy. e-mails from all over the world, but like raindrops seem to come from a very dark cloud. It contain all, but all, against a backdrop of melancholy, sadness and resignation that often becomes. We are in Europe, but our country is perceived as being distant. Giulia writes from France: "For us it is (I call it that) a continuous battle for credibility. A nation that rests on the glories of the past ... How sad for our contemporaries, there's a forest of ideas and I repeat, unfortunately, their benefits are based primarily on merit (artistic, cultural) of the Italians who preceded us, now you do not see anything but the beautiful scenery (although put under serious threat) and political joke. "
Mariano writes from Denmark: "Italy is now considered North Africa. My boss Danish shows me the map and tells me that maybe giggling, Italy is the missing piece to Libya ...". Even when you try to play down the effect is never liberating. And always in geographical context , appear remote even by those countries in which jokes are used as examples of backwardness. Luca from London: "I spoke to Berlusconi with a girl. She says, but what kind of people are you? Drive them, what are you waiting? ... And I'm sorry, but where are you? And you, "Mozambique".
Italy has stew. Hence the jokes are no longer laughing. At least not Italians: Pierluigi tells how the situation seen from Brussels: "Drama for us Italians, hilarious for colleagues and friends abroad. The work is not a day goes by that fellow Lithuanian, Polish, British, Belgian, German, Slovenian and French stop me in the hallway to ask about the last Pope and his companions. "
Claudio Germany is more bitter:" In the '70s some Germans thought we were unreliable and means - Mafia. Today, and due to various events, the Germans are worse, ignore us. " In short, Italy stew. As summarized Cuchu, Holland : "What news of yet another scandal involving Berlusconi? The usual things, the usual jokes, the usual comments that we Italians abroad are forced to endure since Berlusconi is Prime Minister."
A country incomprehensible. For emerge, however, in addition to feeling 'a skin' and a comment in passing is the loss of credibility of our country. "And not only in the eyes of the man of the street," writes Paul from Romania, "but also of institutional stakeholders and business partners. One thing that sets us Italians abroad, often in situations of great peril." And there is an element of mystery about how the institutions that made Italy a unique phenomenon. Sara from London tries to explain: "Here they do not understand how Berlusconi can talk about intrusion of the judiciary in his personal life over the scandal Rubygate. Why not have the political notion of a state where public affairs are constantly being used for private business ". And no doubt add to the confusion institutional void regulations: a Giulia who is in Dublin, his friends ask: "But in Italy and 'legally have sex with minors?".
tells Emilia from Barcelona l'incredulità: "Qui la gente comune fa davvero fatica a pensare che il popolo italiano abbia scelto volontariamente di essere rappresentato da Berlusconi". Ma per Nikos, da Londra : "Lo si voglia o no, rappresenta l'Italia e gli italiani all'estero". Forse all'estero ci immaginano come figure mitologiche, come lascia pensare Alberto dal Messico : "Qui il personaggio del Cavaliere riunisce in una sola figura gli inganni di Bernie Madoff, la perversione di Mosley e l'allegria e irresponsabilità di Pulcinella".
Ignoranza e informazione. Ma dopo i dubbi, dallo sguardo straniero arriva una certezza: l'Italia è un country uninformed. Here Francis in Madrid for five years, which call for parents here: "A shocking thing for me is that every time I call home and tell my" But have you heard the latest on him? Never ... once you know what you're talking about, I must tell him what I sucede from Spain in Italy. " Marco, the United Kingdom , took the statistics: "I made the account in the Yearbook ISTAT: 17 million people have access, in fact, only six TV channels for their information. They can only see the messages of television leader for information. They just have that. " "Berlusconi is an example of the government in power for power," says Luca from Cologne, "and when he says that Italy is the most beautiful country in the world for the time, eating and women, teaches that there is first the good life, then everything else. A perfect example of What is the policy. " In fewer words, the same concept expressed by Moreno Ireland: "Ultimately, we are the land of holidays."
