The invisible link between the death of Paolo Rossi and the speech of Giorgia Meloni

What is the connection between the death of Paolo rossi and the speech of Giorgia Meloni to the camera? Nobody. Or maybe there is a connection so deep that it becomes invisible: a seahorse and an orca will never notice what unites them, that is, the water in which they are both submerged. Giorgia Meloni proclaimed that in our Franco-German colony there are “movements of patriots defending freedom” against “the maidens of foreign domination.” And he invited the classroom to reject “the merchants, the intrigues of the Palace, the servants who exchange their freedom for a meager profit.” Some rude insolence from Garbatella was removed, such as the invitation to the “Greatest Vaffa Day of all time”, even a deaf person would understand where this Italian comes from: from the melodrama of the Risorgimento, from the opera librettos and from all the rhetoric . that arose. It is to this pre-fascist matrix that the post-fascist Meloni is linked, carefully skipping – except for inherited verbal tics – the toxic waste of Mussolini’s language, with which Salvini plays. Well, you might say, but what does poor Paolo Rossi have to do with it? It has to do with that, as the seahorse has to do with the killer whale: because of the water in which they both swim. The solution is in a brilliant 1983 book by Vittorio Sermonti, “Where is the victory? Chronicle of the Chronicles of the World Cup in Spain ”, made up of thousands of newspaper clippings from the previous year. Returning to that increasingly fiery rhetoric, where feelings of superiority and inferiority were mixed, the bravado of the victors and the revenge of the humiliated, you will understand that Giorgia and his brothers are convinced that they are playing a new Italy-Germany final.
