My Sky is crucial. In a time of scombiccherati schedules, fix everything. You can retrieve old films and documentaries precious record. These days, I fished out the films on Peppone and Don Camillo, taken from the novels of John Guareschi. Everyone, from first to last film. The series lasted two decades
Film: Don Camillo by of '52 until Don Camillo and the youth of today of '72, in which Gaston Moschin Lionel Stander and just interpret the characters immortal dignity that had belonged with Fernandel and Gino Cervi.
For a couple of feet from my TV, an old collection of peeps Candido. Hardcover. Satire and cartoons to be missed. The history of Italy is reread even so, between Guareschi and his counterpart of the Communist Party, Fortinbras. But Guareschi's books to me are as important as the film that they were taken. Twentieth-century examples of good writing and unjustly forgotten. My friend Marco
Ferrazzoli wrote an essay, his second, on Guareschi, Don Camillo Not only , released in late 2008 for Man Free and read my first piece of advice for this year . I quote from an interview
de The Fund Marco Ferrazzoli:
Indro Montanelli was unequivocal: "The history of the twentieth century can be done without anyone else, but not without Guareschi. I confirm it, pointing out that Guareschi was not only a great writer, journalist, cartoonist and humorist, but also a great intellectual and Italian character. It is a central authority of our literature, a major political journalist and a rare example of human and intellectual coherence.
Already in the first half of the 900 Guareschi is a famous journalist of the Berthold. In 1943 he was deported to Nazi concentration camps and became a leading figure of the "white resistance." To return founded and directs the candidate, the largest weekly political satire of the postwar period. In '46 supports the institutional monarchy in the referendum. Makes an essential contribution to the Democratic victory in the elections of 1948 with the famous poster "urn God sees you, not Stalin" and "Mamma votagli against it for me." Becomes an important opinion-leaders, one of the fiercest scourge of the party and the main anti-Communist polemicist. In '53 ends up in jail for defamation of Einaudi and De Gasperi.
Even this cursory reading of his biography shows how the author of Don Camillo was one of the most important intellectuals of 900 Italian civilians. Of course, there are also small book in the world and many others sold and translated into millions of copies, inspired film still of great audience. But perhaps this success is a paradoxical misunderstanding: the sweetening of the historical and cultural Guareschi and the undervaluation of his moral stature. A risk that he runs is because of the "enemies" anxious to minimize its importance, both to certain "friends" that seem to confirm the weak image.
Guareschi is instead a central authority of our literature, a major political journalist and a rare example of human and intellectual coherence.
