letter written to an immigrant Lerner conductor infidel Posted a very interesting letter, which runs on the Internet, written by an immigrant from southern journalist Gad Lerner. Dear Mr. Lerner, I write about the episode of the infidel on Unity of Italy. I have read some of the comments (hundreds) on the bet by people injured by the "non-participation" of Mr.. Discussions in April and I also read his answer resentful, and rightly so, with heavy charges. I have great respect for her and I'm sure it was not his intention to leave little room for Pino April, you, incidentally, is the only one who had the courage to invite him and we thank you.
I must say that I am not was satisfied with how the episode went and I was deeply disappointed. Convinced that I am writing this letter too long, she has many commitments is unlikely to read, but I write anyway because I need to tell my story, the story of migrant Napoletano, my history as hundreds of thousands of others, my story of a man in the South
I'm 38 years old, from eight live in the USA. I, a deeply tied to my family, my land, I felt that the only way to live a decent life would go away, "alternative" without alternative. I was the animator of the village, I arranged. I have always worked, but not one of those jobs that would could support a family but a job that allowed me to never say the words are "unemployed" who taught me, through my many travels abroad, that "normal" is a relative concept and know the "other" is the greatest gift you can give yourself.
Today, after eight years in the U.S., years, I believe, very difficult at times, loneliness, sacrifice, work tirelessly (I SOUTHERN), are now small business owner, married to an American woman, the father of a child of 11 Chama month that as my grandfather but he has never met, who falls asleep listening to lullaby in Neapolitan, but has never seen Naples. Today I am the owner of the house, datore di lavoro.
Io che per vivere questa vita ho dovuto negare a mio figlio quello che ho considerato per me il bene più preziose, la mia famiglia, le mie radici, le commedie di Eduardo, una domenica trascorsa passeggiando al Borgo Marinaro guardando il Castel dell’Ovo, un caffé guardando Capri da Posillipo in una giornata piena di sole, una visita a Cappella San Severo.
Mio figlio cresce ad un oceano di distanza dai suoi nonni, da mia sorella, dalla mia Napoli, la Napoli di cui oramai in TV non si parla più, quella Napoli che mi ha dato la forza di sopravvivere quegli anni bui, la consapevolezza di far parte di un popolo che ha sempre saputo anche con pochissimo andare avanti senza abbassare la testa.
In me there is also the great sadness of a "culture" that Italian is becoming more racist, ignorant and closed. We are every day more and less Bossi Leonardo Da Vinci Mr. Lerner. The space given to television to massacre the image of Naples without ever told the truth, because it is more and more important, those truths replaced by the demented belief that in Naples in the South, we are all very good playing the mandolin and eat pizza sitting on piles of rubbish or thieves, criminals ... it is really unacceptable and could not be further from the truth.
The misinformation that seems aimed at creating the TV do all enrage, to make us all enemies, to conceal the real enemy, the political and dishonest arruffona leading Italy to be a bit 'less Europe with each passing day. North against South, South against North, South South against all culprits to look everywhere except in the one place where you should really look. In Parliament, the Government and not just in this era, "Berlusconi" which really is touching the bottom of 50-60 years but now it is the years of the Christian Democrats, Andreotti and Craxi, who has sown the indifference, mistrust policy that we now live in maniuera so dramatic with this disastrous government.
We are ignorant and it takes so because in a country more Read now you see who are the thieves, who are responsible.
in crisis in this country must give up things that vital research and education as they have never renounced any of their privileges, the money for their salaries and exorbitant "cost contributions are always available, untouchable. Italian politics is a monster with many heads and one stomach only. We need to find out ALL the true story of Italy, REALLY need to give birth to the unit.
This Union today and just like a marriage based on a lie ... just does not work. I ask forgiveness for the harsh words addressed to you, understand, please, that stem from this same sentiment d’impotenza,dalla rabbia delle falsità che come Meridionali siamo costretti ad accettare ogni giorno. Il Sud ha bisogno di verità, l’Italia ha bisogno di verità ed è per questo che per noi le parole di P. Aprile rivestono tanta importanza.
Grazie per la Sua professionalità. Capisco che anche essere giornalista in Italia in questo momento Storico non è per nulla facile.
