In this last period are increasing the evidence of a derisive attitude of foreigners towards us. We do not speak or print media (for now) but a strictly interpersonal. When you go abroad you would fooled by the mere fact of being Italian.
E 'likely in such statements (Corresponding to reality or not) that there is an instrumental. This is the usual litany: us-take-in-lap-to-blame-the-Berlusconi.
The question is somewhat more complex. Mix, in fact, old antipathies between countries dating back to the two world wars, geopolitical affairs, of economic interests. And of course have their place some inappropriate behavior of our head of government. The latter, in fact, there appears to be the real cause of a press campaign against Italy. They are, in my opinion, simply an excuse, the screen politically acceptable to attack our country and the Italians. In other words, I believe that the first three reasons are the ones really crucial.
If we were to recall the famous cover (1977) of the German weekly Der Spiegel (the one with the p 38 above a plate of spaghetti) then repeated his well in 1992 would understand that the phenomenon is not new. These were the years of terrorism (offensive and mafia) and for that week we were always the same for pastasciuttari more dangerous (the Germans, however, as you know, are peaceful and harmless ...). Of course, Time magazine Man of the Year in 1931 elected Benito Mussolini ... Saving
readers all the terminology used highly derogatory towards us years of the great Italian migration in Europe and North America (a topic very dear to the left, this).
E ', therefore, clear that it is necessary to make some order on the causes of this "dislike".
Italians are notoriously susceptible to what concerns its "credibility" internationally. Like almost all the peoples of the earth, for that matter. With one small difference: we have a tendency to autoflaggellarci, to need external approval for the correctness of our actions. We need carezzina on the head, without suspecting that it will only come when our work is pleasing to the owner who grants us. Not only is there doubt that the days to express an opinion conditional or misleading, but rather we go looking for the culprit, in our house, to throw overboard. For the famous "carezzina" we would be able to do anything. If other countries (also full of problems) is compactly reacts against criticisms that are interpreted as unfair or even damaging to the national sovereignty from us - those same critics - are perceived as reasons to divide us and accuse us. This is a typically Italian, is hard to find elsewhere. Obviously this is well understood and exploited.
I am struck and saddened that after so many years, has not yet understood the game and you continue to divide on the basis of what they write abroad. It is even more serious that you use the international press in the electoral race.
E 'was a shameless spectacle that was made by two newspapers, El Pais and the Republic: the first capable of attacking Italy every other day and the other as well (even though Spain was moving toward the financial default then luckily escaped), the second ready to be a mere importer of articles written in Madrid full of envy. El Pais
While Italy was concerned, the English economy gasping and Iberian country was among the candidates for bankruptcy along with Greece and Portugal. Obviously the Republic, until a few weeks before, chanting the "English miracle", which exceeded the zapateriana Spain Italy at, the throngs of young people tired of the nepotism (real) Italian took refuge in the El Dorado fake English. How many bullshit, you might say ...
In fact, I'd like to have more of their fellow countrymen proud of their country. Regardless of who governs us. In fact, the awareness of what it is, its place in history, largely beyond the quota or the fact that when there is someone in power who do not like. Although this simple concept that drives the greatest country in the world (those in front of which some of our compatriots feel "shame") seems to be not yet shared in our limited reality. Yet it is strange to hear
assimilate, who has a certain culture, Italy in reality disgraceful. I have too much respect for Professor Eco to think he was drunk or worse did not know the story when he said that Berlusconi -is-like-Hitler , plagiarized reduced to a similar "concept" at the time expressed by Di Pietro. To say that Hitler is to say that Berlusconi is Italy and Nazi Germany. If you think this "analogy" has been expressed in Israel understands the immense good blasphemy from the mouth of Echo. Evidently political hatred and passion, in the worst sense of the term, can overwhelm all in a flash "antibodies" rational of a great mind. Eco
were right to say such a thing abroad? I think not ...
has not done well either to himself, nor even to Italy. As hurt all those who are ready to give anyone reason to muddy Italy, just because the government is a we do not like .
Finally, I express my skepticism about the evidence upon which it would be the object of ridicule when you go abroad. In my small way, some contact grow it. In America, Germany, France, England, even in Japan. I can say I have never had any problems with anybody, even to have been the subject of consideration and pleasant curiosity as an Italian. I have never been blamed for the fact that originate from "Land of Berlusconi." Other considerations have emerged. Actually I think I can say that anyone who makes fun of another because of their origin does not deserve serious consideration. These are individuals that are not text, to which we should not spend 5 minutes of your life. Who makes fun of the Italians is simply because you are an idiot. It is not enough to ennoble the fact that it is an "idiot international".
short, the advice is changed frequently!
