Everyone is free to invent and defend the story he wants. But he can not expect everyone to believe that it is the true story. Men than ever, then it should be attributed to cultural titles do not have. Maurizio Nocera, the newspaper online Gleanings Typical , talking (or gossiping) south of the post-unification brigandage writes: "This fact, however, must not lead us to interpret the phenomenon of banditry as a progressive event, because this does not match historical truth, "" The robbers objectively fought a battle under a banner that wrong, at that time represented the worst of the political reaction in Europe, "" And the first thing that comes to mind is the page Risorgimento, that which led Unification of Italy, for me one of the most beautiful pages of the Italian people, under the red flag of Giuseppe Garibaldi, was able to redeem it, though initially only at the level of national identity, the people of the South. "
But it is these claims that while many caveats deserve, I want to talk, to brigandage, in fact, historians ascribe positive value system and social policy, even if they do not draw the appropriate conclusions, and now is extensively dealt with of controrisorgimento.
instead I draw your attention the following other statement of Nocera: "Often the Bourbons, when they speak or write about banditry, recall a phrase that Antonio Gramsci had written on his Turin weekly "The New Order" 1920. It is strange that they do not give Gramsci never mentioning the correct bibliography. The phrase, which Nocera even refuses to return because he said it would once again falsify the historical truth, is as follows: 'The Italian state has been a vicious dictatorship that put to the sword and southern Italy islands, crucifying, quartering, burying alive the poor farmers who employed the writers tried to defame the trademark of "bandits". "
to be noted that this phrase of Gramsci is mentioned not only by the Bourbons, but by all those who are interested in banditry. And I, well I have cited are not Bourbon. But let's get right to the bibliography. The phrase
surriportata Gramsci comes from an article entitled "Lanza drunk," published on the issue of Piedmont ' "Next!" , year XXIV, No. 42, February 18, 1920 (editorial). This article has been collected in the volume of Antonio Gramsci: The Order new 1919-1920, edited by Valentino Gerratana and Antonio A. Santucci, Einaudi, Torino 1987, pp. 420-424 (the quotation is on page. 422). Gerratana Santucci and have included the article (not signed) in a book of Gramsci accepting the award made by Plato Gramsci-Togliatti in the first edition in volume of articles de Gramsci "The New Order", 1919-1920 , Einaudi, Torino 1954, pp. 84-88 (the quote is on pg. 86). They were the curators, is that of the other edition of one, who decided to raise the volume of "The New Order" also articles that Gramsci, in the same period, published as an editor on the issue Piedmont 's "Next!" . And 'this is why the phrase is commonly referred to as written by Gramsci in the weekly "The New Order" 1920.
Of course I trust more than Plato, Togliatti, Gerratana of Santucci, who attribute Gramsci agreed to the sentence, which does not deny that such an allocation of Nocera. Nocera writes good knowledge of Gramsci's writings on The New Order and Gramsci argues that there has only written two editorials. Here, too, I trust the writers eminent specialists on Gramsci when the attribute, always in the volume on the New Order well 500 (five hundred) pages written for a total of 136 (one hundred thirty-six) articles. Another denial
Nocera deserves his statement about the following, also on Gramsci's phrase: "And then, there seems to be possible the existence of such statements on the robbery of Gramsci and historians as Aldo De Franco Molfese or Jaco or that Joseph Calasso I did not know existed? ". However, Aldo De Jaco in his book "The Southern Brigantaggio" (Editori Riuniti), on pg. 14, the premise "- as Gramsci wrote in the '20s -" cites the phrase in quotation marks we are talking.
Nocera, still in his articles, Valentino is revenge against the Roman Empire, which he said he would be accused of a historical unit "caryatid regime and wage". But here must be to say its Valentino Romano.
Finally, I believe that it would be desirable to systematically explore and expound the position that Antonio Gramsci was against the bandits south. For us southern and "bandits" could come out positive and pleasant surprises.
