Resource or ball and chain
In recent days, Governor of the Bank of Italy, Draghi said that "in thirty years, the mob has destroyed about 20 percent of the GDP of South Italy . Without the social phenomenon of mob regions like Puglia and Basilicata, the equivalent today would be California. " But it is possible that the South should always be seen as a failure to the promised land? It was as if those books with the pages stuck together, that we must separate in order to read? If some had created a virtual icon and then his unreal as they wish and whim, to dominate, subjugate better prevent always be "other"? The South is unknown, crushed under the weight of clichés. But if you think with a minimum of rationality, we find that things are different. It is said, for a century and a half, which is "seen" it turns out that disability pensions are more in the North. It says it is devouring public resources, it turns out that the Cassa del Mezzogiorno Fas funds, the money for its development back to the North. It turns out that even the unification of Italy, has been paid to blows from the south of taxes. And the rule continues today, through communication. The South is news only for the crime of mafia, murder 'Ndrangheta, the wear and much more widespread.
But when did the mafia? The Camorra? And the 'Ndrangheta? For the three most well-known mafia is not easy to determine its origins. In the last essay on the unification of Italy, Giordano Bruno Guerri submits an original theory: these criminal organizations would sprout from the disappointment of the weaker sections of society in the aftermath of the South in March 1861 and the end of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Struck with the robbery, ethnic cleansing, massacres and villages razed to the ground, this strain would be born on the Camorra, the Mafia and 'Ndrangheta. And so as a reaction to the failed promises of the new masters and political balance (also supported by France and England) of which were carriers. Garibaldi and Cavour had talked about, among other things, the end of the estate, of land to the peasants. But the southern nobility changed skin like snakes and preserved lands and power, recycling with the transformation. And yet, that of war is a hypothesis that has to deal with what seems an urban myth: the Mafia, Camorra and 'Ndrangheta would be much earlier, would have a different cultural background and history, perhaps more plausible, certainly more intriguing. We are in the fifteenth century, the English govern the South. An aristocrat of the South sets his sights on a English noblewoman (and capital). But she is virtuous, does not want. The lover does not give up, the violent, perhaps the killing. From Spain to the United swoop, to avenge the shame, his three brothers, Bone, and Malosso Calcagnosso. One stops in Sicily, Calabria in the other, the other still in Campania. Start search of the murderer, the ambushes, the thirst for revenge. To escape the English aristocracy born fighter so the three gangs. Part of their pyramidal structure there, the silence of the context, the strength of blood ties. Perhaps pre-existing strain on that would be engaged public anger for a "revolution" failed, at least south of the optics, which can be regarded as the unification of Italy, who left unchanged, if not worse, conditions of millions of people whom he had deceived. South
then freak. But it is also something else: haunting beauty, stories to tell, amazing landscapes, passions, impressions, emotions, pathos. E 'therefore a wrong password, contrived to know what planet the South. Since confuse the particular with the universal. Oddly enough, the foreigners are to grasp the essence of intimate, in tune with his soul deep, ancient, grasp its powerful energy. 800 travelers from large to tourists today. They have eyes free from the stereotypes. From the South, conscious of their limitations but also the untapped potential, we think it's time to change the code to tell the tale, beginning with the clichés. The South is neither a "resource" or a "ball and chain" as a populist say. It 's a topic outdated, to be buried after 150 years of unity. And if people began to look with new eyes, to tell in the end, like a blank page, yet to be written? We face the future
wanting even more, another 150 years of unity. We accept the challenge to eradicate the idea that we see behind an emancipated North with a strong social fabric that does not allow the mafia to take hold. Driven from our minds the Mafia with a capital. Because prior to an organization, the Mafia, in fact, is a mentality that lives in society. Demonstrate that we take to feel competitive, not forgetting to be Italian and to live for the creation of a single common good called Italy. If the South is growing, it should be there throughout the country.
