For weeks now trying to break free from thought and from the residual maturity, but it seems that, at least for a while ', this is not my destiny.
It certainly can not say that I will not be trying: I'm on vacation, I take a bath, eat focaccia ligure everyday as if it was the first time and finally I started to leave the house after sunset. But when
at 9 am at the beach, open the newspaper and read a letter from a professor cinquantaquattrenne as that appeared in "The Press" Sunday, August 8, you can not remain indifferent.
The manuscript of Professor Vittorio Gennarini contains a number of complaints in courtly style bureaucratic ignorance of high school students on the outskirts of Naples in which he had to ask questions outside of Italian literature as a commissioner of maturity. Tal subject denounces the lack of theoretical knowledge about Dante Alighieri and about the art-historical landscape in which the Florentine poet has to operate.
I stop to reflect and discover that, despite this long month of abstinence from books, still remember his date and place of birth, political events that caused the exile, the identity of the friends mentioned in the Divine Comedy and the unforgettable Epistle to Can Grande Della Scala. Missing only the number of shoes, but with a little 'effort could also remember that (and I'm sure that my - now former - something friends say they would know). So here
doubt is possible that none of the guys from one of the regions with the highest presence of one hundred and praise of 2010 knew something about Dante?
So read the recent statistics: Calabria, Puglia and other regions of the South have the highest ratio of students from the region / one hundred and honors (2.1% in Calabria).
And we, who are part of 0.9% Piedmont even know who he is Dante Alighieri.
crazy stuff.
