Yesterday, in Palermo, during a debate, some argued that we should not talk about the Mafia, in movies, in fiction, in books, because this only reinforces the same mafia. I replied that we can tell in Sicily Sicily.
Sicily is modernity, multiculturalism is also myth and history.
we can tell, in Sicily and through Sicily, the whole world.
There is also the mafia. And not only is still there, in Sicily, but is so widespread that control vast portions of our territory, and is so cruel that the world will be amazed before all'efferatezza for his crimes.
The Mafia is so cruel as to be naturally privileged object of narration.
Eros and Thanatos, remember?
The mafia, however, is so hard to tell, that everything that has recently seen (in books and big and small screens), it is either comic or obscene.
say that the Mafia no longer be told, it's just an excuse.
Mafia - the real one, the one-day, one of Zen 2, Brancaccio, Cape province or in certain countries - is so hard to tell, which would take the courage and the talent of a great author.
To tell the mafia, it is necessary to risk the masterpiece.
