not easy to create an enthusiastic participation in the sesquicentennial of the Unification of Italy. Maybe because in the past, our country has never been a nation or a kingdom (except at the time of Odoacer, Theodoric, Berengar of Friuli and Arduino d'Ivrea), but always within the empires such as Rome, Genoa, Venice, the Papacy, or city-states such as Milan, Bologna, Florence. We are, however, always been a people with a history, a tradition, painting, music, language, even a record.
The Divine Comedy was already the record of the cities of Italy, its characters, love stories, gossip, betrayal, suicide, deceit, insults, condemnation and commendation. Then there came the ideology of the French nation indivisible and Piedmont has one state to the whole peninsula. We also had a nationalist wave with the world war and fascism. And, over fascism, the party's pro-American and pro-Soviet, they disappeared with the collapse of the Berlin Wall.
But has not changed the essence of the Italian people with its culture, its traditions, its creativity, his genius, which has continued to invent and produce. Country heterogeneous as ours. There are stagnant areas, others in the hands of organized crime, others run by local party bosses. But there are also, conversely, areas rich in business and living life the fruit of an extraordinary genius. Companies that succeed especially in the area of \u200b\u200bthe image of beauty, taste, and fabrics, fashion accessories, underwear, jewelry, but also in sophisticated technologies in machine tools, in the large building in the field of more refined and organic food. I have found that, near Brescia, is a modern facility for the breeding of sturgeon and caviar production.
And I have the impression that even in traditional sectors such as the film we still make higher-value products. Not in fiction, in the cinema, with works by great humanity including the recall of the lake with girl Servillo, Avati's Giovanna's Father, we believe we Martone, Happy family by Salvatores, White and Black Comencini, A beautiful day Checco Zalone. Movies that must be seen in contrast with the cheapest full of special effects, but without history and without a soul, the last Hollywood.
