Strength: military or even political opposition, Conduct in the Second World War against the invasion of Italy by Nazi Germany and against the occupiers and the Italian Social Republic by free individuals, parties and movements organized partisan, and the armed forces of the reconstructed United South fighting alongside the Allies.
Every year at this time professors, journalists, scholars and political process, at different levels, the theme of resistance. And like every year the question that everyone is trying to answer "what's the talk of resistance and still celebrate April 25?" The answers are always different, depending on when articulated quota, all assume that the resistance is the undeniable historical phenomenon which must be identified in the very origins of our Republic. In fact, the Constituent Assembly was largely composed of representatives of parties that had formed the National Liberation Committee, which wrote the Constitution, basing it on a synthesis between their political traditions and inspired by the principles of democracy and anti-fascism.
said, and it should be remembered each year by not losing sight of the roots of our democracy, I do instinctively is a little reflection. From all the stories I have heard and read accounts of that period and also from the testimony of our fellow citizens who have gone to meet in the "Necklace of memory", shows a human aspect important: a great sense of solidarity. The men and women who have found themselves living in that sad period of our history, even if alone, away from home and suffering from or at home waiting for the return of her man, no news for days and weeks, when they report these moments do not speak of anguish and loneliness that inevitably will have tried, but tell of episodes in which they shared something with unknown people but have remained indelible in their memory.
As one Polish girl who was carrying two buckets of apples and, encountering in a column of prisoners hungry and thirsty, he "accidentally" spilled the two buckets so that the prisoners were able to pick and eat apples from the ground, while the German soldiers took to beating the "clumsy" Polish girl. Or the Russian peasants who helped the Italian military, housing them at home and offering them food and water, as we are reminded iand Bianchi in his story.
Sometimes solidarity was manifested even among fellow prisoners: Calafro that is the case, captured by the English in the African desert and forced to march for days under the hot sunshine, talking and chatting did his fellow unfortunate because collapsing on the floor, exhausted by hunger and thirst.
Apples, hospitality, the talk served to the men to resist, to get out of desperate situations, not to give up.
But I refuse to believe that solidarity was only one way to react to the war and despair that it was carrying.
A different concept of solidarity and human compassion we find in the songs of Fabrizio De Andrè, who sang the last few years, the renegades from society, giving them a dignity lost or never had. De Andre had an excellent sensitivity and a deep soul that allowed to see beyond the social conventions and to go to find the essence of those people who are normally marginalized. With his poetry to tell us the world from their point of view, and so we opened her eyes about what we could not understand and did not want to see. In fact, often, what scares us is different from us, so instead of trying to understand we are instinctively inclined to move away, to escape, to take refuge in our certainties. And so we become more individualistic, but more just, selfish, focused only on ourselves and on our right. When we are in this mood, we should strive not to escape, should, Instead, open your eyes and try to figure out who's in front of us and if by chance that its apparent diversity is not a call for help.
I believe this is the most high understanding of solidarity, the largest teaching that has left us Fabrizio De Andrè.
It's not a coincidence that this year the council has decided to invite the festival "Rock-resistant" Fabernoster the group, which has in its repertoire the songs of the Genoese singer-songwriter. We are convinced that his songs will help us to recover that spirit of freedom and solidarity, which is now, alas, lost.
