Andrea Passamonti
On March 17, should know by now even the stones, marks the sesquicentennial of the Unification of Italy. There is no reason to dwell too much on why take part in this commemoration, enough lines have been written about more than reasonable. Rather, it is necessary to add something about how.
In recent days, abandoning the argument put forth by some green shirt, you is passed to yet another conflict between proponents of the establishment as a national holiday on March 17 one-off and who, citing economic reasons, asked not to lose a day's work, especially in a period of economic stagnation as the current one. He checked, as we know, the first front, but not without controversy and certainly not without some distorted what were the reasons for the party.
The most obvious consequence of the decision of the Council of Ministers, not to lose the hand has decided to establish a national holiday by decree law, one can understand if you look at the problem from simple schoolchildren. Scolari, of course, not because this is a math problem or logic, history or philosophy, but simply because the students are likely to feel less recurrence. Next Thursday
schools and universities will be closed. No type of activities will be organized on the day of the Unit. True, there are (rare) cases of schools that have organized and will organize seminars, conferences and lectures on the drive, but all this, however laudable, will be at a different date than the one you want to remember. For most, March 17 will simply be the day that you will not go to school. Some say that the young man who sees suddenly break the school routine wonders why this "hole" unexpected, impressing in his head the day of the Unit. If so, however, does not explain the services of Tg annually show that dozens of young people falling from the clouds to be asked or what to celebrate on June 2 April 25.
A better solution would be to organize a day co-managed by students and teachers dedicated to the Risorgimento and the Unification of Italy. In this way, without any obligation, could have been involved in making even the young people who will probably Thursday under the covers. For the others, who like Italy you awake, you just have to take a stroll in the Public Gardens, who brought a bouquet of flowers to Mazzini and Garibaldi.
