The stories that are read in a book by Dora Liguori are the same that we read about in history books at school, but the point of view is totally different. Sometimes they are used irony and sarcasm.
are presented events, historical and social factors that occurred in Italy during the first seven decades of the nineteenth century, with particular reference to the decade (1860-1870). These are the years of the so-called (afterwards) "Risorgimento", when you had the bitter unity of Italy. Unit which proved to the south as the most terrible tragedies. On
events in that period continues to remain a state secret. A mass of documents, about one hundred and fifty thousand, one hundred and fifty years later from that unit, are still secret. The truth remains hidden.
To glorify what was touted as a release, the winners Savoy hired writers of the time that they become incontrovertible historical truth that was the result of a reckless fantasy. In reality it was a stark territorial conquest of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
the historical falsification gave him a decisive contribution in the years following the southern philosopher Benedetto Croce. Reading it tamed the story is then passed in all school books. Anyone who wanted to pursue a university career was forced to adapt. The South is still paying for the false interpretation of history. It 's just a beautiful story that was told about the process that led to the unification of Italy idealistic. The conquest of the South but was above all a plot, linked to international interests, decided that was played overseas in Italy with the blood of the south.
To justify the annexation of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to Piedmont Savoy was built a house of lies, theories of a beggar and the underdeveloped South pending the saving intervention of the king of Piedmont. The invention events, one more false than the other, continues to be an offense against truth. But what is even more severe, there is scientific in Southern also wanted to cancel the memory of true dramatic events that led to the destruction of the South The singers of the "revival" are consigned to history a series of false and ridiculous "hagiographies" so-called "fathers of the fatherland" as Mazzini, Garibaldi, Cavour, Vittorio Emanuele 2 °. Dora Liguori in his book aims to reconstruct, without prejudice, a historical period that was tragic for all Italians.
The southern Italians suffered in the first decade of the post unit, the stessa sorte che subivono in quegli stessi anni gli Indiani d'America ad opera dei bianchi e che avrebbero subito qualche anno dopo gli Ebrei ad opera dei nazisti: genocidio e deportazione. Meridionali e briganti, uomini, donne e bambini, furono massacrati senza alcuna pietà. Fenestrelle fu un lager, costruito dai Savoia nel torinese, dove furono deportati e trovarono la morte migliaia di meridionali.
Ma mentre i governi americani e tedeschi hanno riconosciuto, ed in qualche modo risarcito, i loro errori ed orrori nei confronti degli indiani e degli ebrei, i governi italiani hanno nascosto e addirittura negato le loro mostruosità perpetrate contro i meridionali. Con la conseguenza che la quasi totalità dei giovani meridionali di oggi ignorano those tragic events.
beginning of the book clarifies the concept of north and south, saying then that for millennia the south of the known world was synonymous with civilization and the cradle of the "knowledge". And Naples, the capital of the South, he lived a wonderful first unit of the bitter cultural season in all fields of knowledge: literature, philosophy, music, science, archeology, astronomy, medicine, architecture, painting. Naples was one of the most advanced in the world. Everything was destroyed by the brutal assault at the hands of Savoy. The South therefore had no interest and did not ask to be released to the Savoy. The South was attacked and invaded.
role was decisive, in the aggression and destruction South, masonry Italian, European, world. Freemasons were Mazzini, Garibaldi, Cavour, Vittorio Emanuele 2nd, Liborio Romano, the British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston, the French bankers Rothschild. The conquest of the South became a bargain for everyone. England was assured the exploitation of precious Sicilian sulfur and trade with the East following the opening of the Suez Canal to France of Rothschild, with forfeiture of the money from the Bank of Sicily and Naples, he made sure the balance of debts made by the Kingdom of Piedmont to finance the unfortunate wars of independence, the Piedmont was assured the whole of Italy.
With the money raised by the British and American Masonic lodges were corrupt and bought admirals and commanders of the navy, army generals and officers Bourbon, they did turn to another part of the Bourbon soldiers in step (cruising, walking) of "thousands" of Garibaldi. The Bourbon king Francis 2 nd unfortunately, on humanitarian grounds, he fled before the Garibaldi's army and Piedmont, leaving holed up in Naples for Gaeta.
Dora Liguori argues that, even after a hundred and fifty years, the Government's decision to leave Naples Francesco 2 ° leaves still puzzled, and asked if that was really his decision, or was it just another bad advice of ministers who did not time to get rid of him. If the king in Naples had tried to resist, the people, as in 1799, would be deployed to his side and would have opposed Garibaldi and the Savoy. There were, says the Liguori, at most a thousand deaths, but, instead, he would have saved a kingdom and spare the next one million casualties. But unfortunately the story is not written with itself.
The soldiers, when they realized the treason of their leaders, rose up fiercely, demonstrating their affection for the crown of the Bourbons, and fought valiantly in the desperate and heroic defense of the fortress of Messina, Civitella del Tronto and Gaeta.
Falls these fortresses and retired King Francis 2 nd in Rome, the Savoy gave up the southern slaves in their home. It was the promise to give land to peasants. Indeed were suppressed even civic uses that under the Bourbons allowed farmers to exploit public lands, as their sole source of survival. Another initiative made unpopular by the Savoy was to make military service compulsory lever with which the Bourbons had always been voluntary.
Farmer, a former Bourbon partisans and soldiers, all left to themselves, they found themselves together to fight the Savoy became the common enemy. Southerners experienced on their skin that was better before they decided you want to bring back the Bourbons, who like them had been brutally thrown out of their land. The anger was great and it happened to the conclusion that rather than live in those conditions, it was better to raise hell. Inferno - Liguori writes - in which they did not intend, however, to go alone, but in the company of many Piedmont could drag. And the southern
all became robbers. And the term robber took to the popular will, a very positive meaning. Violent were the Piedmont, the robbers became violent. The significant difference, far from being secondary, that elapse between the Piedmontese army and bandits was that the latter was at home and fought to defend something that, by right of birth, it was their property. Memmo 'O Chiavone in the Liri Valley, Pigeon John, in the Marche, Carmine Crocco Ninco and Nance, in Lucania, Sergeant Romano, in Apulia, were some leaders who, together with many bandits and robber, and inflicted so many serious defeats on Piedmont.
the end won the Piedmont for their vast and overwhelming numerical strength of military employees, for their cruelty and inhumanity to the genocide, for the hefty funding received by English and American Freemasonry, the shameful use of pentitismo and betrayal, to the devastating famine and epidemics that strike the south.
Fatal injuries inflicted by the Piedmont to the south, gangrene, they have never healed, and were the cause of a groove, often hateful, and keeps dividing more and more people from the South of the North.
