totally disagree, I read carefully your post Nessie but I have not yet completed the rounds of all the commentators, but I think the standard now defined. This just posted my review here will be a new post on one of my blog: this allow me to link you to a better understanding. than intervention Benigni in Sanremo there was an almost unanimous acclaim means I believe that art that comes with a capital where ideologies and also serious and scholarly analysis will never arrive. It has been said in various places and with different tones of speech errors in the Tuscan comedian, I think no one ignores the political matrix of Roberto and the history of Italian international left the last 100 years. I certainly know it and I would not evaluate it in a positive way. However
Benigni came into an empty space that is swallowing us all, that of the choices made 150 years ago and the consequences that derive from them: we are officially a united country, before then Republican-led monarchy. This is an indisputable fact in the sense that you play on offense and intellectually dishonest.
The keynote was perfect in my opinion for the way it hit the feeling of belonging to a larger size than the local, the natural measure that has kept among sullen nationalism and racism even more reprehensible: Benigni reminded us of a something which no longer the case now, we are a nation in which culture was established even before the nation and the culture of the real thing, over and does not hesitate, culture is a beacon in the night of ideologies partial an asset to be defend and to offer those who want to know. Nothing is further from the Italians of the nationalistic racism one way that has already shown what can be capable of. Benigni has said we must "sell" to the first bidder, instead reaffirmed the necessity of waking from a night of mediocrity passed off as universal axioms, the need to live your dreams into reality if it wants to participate. I wonder what can be said on the anniversary of the noblest of a hard drive as the Italian one.
spoke before an empty space: it is that our consciences and our "comfortable" now in these last 40 years bulky. Political unit among a myriad of states with different histories and traditions was born 150 years ago a proposal or a dream is required for a cultural elite that made the Risorgimento say here fully where and when and what was wrong, as some historical assumptions were artificially unrecognized at the altar of convenience to an Italy-wheel drive can not be blatantly northerner. From then on March 17 but were without war and work and society, and blood and sweat and hope, none of these emotions experienced has developed into an area that was not unit. The altar was a unique and flag: those who lived and died in the shadow of this nation had a single root, not only were people in the Alpine valleys and the great plain that extends along the Po, even came from the hilly lands that fill this funny boot-shaped peninsula. Among them were and still are the Italians of the south, my South, one of the largest island in the Mediterranean to Lampedusa, the great Italian artists and thinkers, to millions of workers who took a train and fell in the foggy northern stations often found themselves in front of signs that read "DO NOT RENT TO SOUTHERN" For them and for all other Benigni spoke with a faint voice singing a great hymn and subdued. 
In that context, I return to being a citizen of the United of the Two Sicilies, and most of the commentators of this post the new inhabitants of a whole new nation, Padania. 'd shout "Long live Italy" gentlemen. If not we say the Spielberg of Europe are ready to return to function.
