In the town hall of Varese, where we held the first presentation of the book by Joseph Adamoli, " Heart and Region ", just before Christmas , a single episode occurred. A large towel, the kind that are used as a screen fell from the ceiling where it was anchored, smashing loudly and dangerously a few inches from the head of the speakers. The author attributed the event a metaphorical meaning, as if it was the demonstration of deprivation faced by Varese, the city symbol of the Northern League. Fontana Mayor he was visibly annoyed. The man, the former Christian Democrat politician, now PD, it is! He says, in a rough, what he thinks. It is not just for those who sailed in politics for half a century Lombardy.
In late February, Adamoli, replicates the book presentation in Milan and is keen to let people know that locates in the refusal to DC and PCI to consider the draft craxi the "Great constitutional and institutional reforms" of a reasons for the crisis of the early republic. "The reason for the refusal - writes Adamoli - was also established by the fear of an erosion of consensus that would probably result the two hegemonic powers of government and opposition.
A closer look all that has been implemented or attempted (often poorly) in the last two decades in terms of reform of the state has taken its cue from intuition Socialist prematurely thrown into the trash . Anticraxiana The ruling, in part certainly justified, even after heavily worked, producing center-left to the neglect of the whole area of \u200b\u200bsocialist treated as if it were not right and left. Operation of political stupidity that has cost the Democratic Party greatly, particularly in Lombardy ".
Not much to add. Adamoli once you put out from the pack. I've heard say something akin to Adamoli about a year ago in Gallarate, where he held a debate on "Federalism and Regionalism" at the "Club Garibaldi." I confess that on that occasion was a little 'suspicious and thought that Adamoli wanted to capture the willingness of the audience, mainly belonging to the club of socialist area it occupies.
I now recognize that the reflection was gone Adamoli said. He with great political honesty, but I would say even with finesse and intellectual history recognizes that the modernization and development in Lombardy between the protagonists in the twentieth century, the socialist movement. Not only that, Adamoli, calls for a change of course by the left (I assume he means the PD) to the Socialists.
Adamoli knows too well, having been its victim, the steps in the policy that led the Lombard Board Ghilardotti, the affirmation of the hegemony of the right. What the socialists called "modernization" and they were trying to engage the so-called "major reform", in Lombardy was characterized by a profound de-industrialization of the region and the secularization of society. The center-right led by Formigoni this long twenty years has governed this process, the center was deserted in various ways and the culture of social reform and was deprived of a valuable tool to understand what was happening in the region guide of Italy.
"Dwarfs and dancers at the court of socialism Lombard were really unbearable, but the alleged moral superiority, so much communist aristocracy and Catholic proved to be a hoax that has allowed a political class to survive, certainly not play and win the majority of the company Lombard. The remnants of the powerful left base of Democratic ascendancy that led the power play in the Region of Lombardy between 1970 and 1995 have found other locations of power (Cariplo) and left politicians like Adamoli to play a game of great dignity policy, but ultimately a loser.
It is conceivable that the political class of the PD Acconci to open a comparison with the PSI in Lombardy and the reforms that were centers of culture? Adamoli, perhaps, unwilling to take leave from politics, as he says. What is certain is that if the Socialists chose to recognize as partners, without thinking to incorporate them as they tried to do the former Communists, has chosen a difficult path, an uphill struggle. The socialist voters, driven by currents in the center-executioner, not return to the left if it finds its political references. This is the lesson of the last elections.
Adamoli's book is not easily attributable to a literary genre sure: a little 'biography, a bit' autobiography, a little 'interview, a little' instant book , some 'political and historical investigation, is an example of narrative eclectic, multi-faceted as the man. Adamoli is a politician who likes to be accredited as a heretic, as they have been known to be the Socialists in their history, which now recognizes the political and cultural honor. Even the title of the book echoes Adamoli socialism and democracy Lombard. "Heart" is known to be the book of socialist De Amicis, "Heart and Criticism," the magazine of Archangel Ghisleri from which it originates "Critica Sociale" the journal of the Italian reformist socialism. "Heart and Region", which recognizes the binomial Adamoli, does not appear a will, but a challenge for the near future. I think I can say that in addition to the "heart" who has always supported choices and political passion, Adamoli realize that it is time to return even to political reason. It brings the right policy to say that we must pick up the threads of socialism in Italy.
