Capital corrupt nation infected? Sure, but the famous title of the investigation Manlio Cancogni Espresso back in the sixties, to be interpreted correctly. Do not think that the Peninsula is infected "because of Rome." It 'just the opposite. Rome is one that is "because" Italy is vulgar, rude and corrupt, not vice versa. And a real capital, which is Rome, is in all respects his country. Including the most amazing accents. Indeed, the Romans, that the Sicilians, Puglia, Marche, Campania, Calabria, Abruzzo, Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany immigrants and set in Rome, in contrast to those immigrants in Milan and Turin, is civilized and metropolisation now, not just their pettiness purifying municipal and regional authorities. Because, you know, Rome incafonisce the best, which are few in Italy, but improves the worst, that the vast majority.
Well, these "Roman" of adoption, except that almost all Jews, the Romans, not at all like politics, do not practice it, do not even want to hear. Many are even disgusted, with all the hassle and look heavy irony, because the Roman politicians and policy causing trouble only: blocks of traffic, car blue bullies, prohibitions, police everywhere, right of way, sirens, marches, demonstrations protest, rites and ceremonies, representatives diplomatic.
And, psychologically, does not like to even rule over others, to show them in the absence of more serious topics "who are" really, and to distinguish it from the mass of the "peasants" (if the South) or "boor" (if North) , as it was in Rome when the Romans were Romans, ie the time of beauty. But, just the command, at least for the distinguished citizens from the power source, is something that causes erections to the provincials of the North and especially South Starting from the Sicilian "is Cummannari megghiu fùttiri ca.
Well, Rome is apolitical, if not totally anti-political, and it is extremely unfair to accuse her of the evils of its policy that it dopotutto subisce.
Eppure, si parla sempre male di Roma e dei romani, perché nella capitale ci sono i luoghi – sempre più numerosi – della Politica. Ma nessuno parla di chi quei luoghi sfarzosi, sottratti con la prepotenza, cioè con i soldi di tutti, all’uso dei cittadini di Roma, occupa e frequenta: i politicanti.
Ebbene, i romani queste cose le sanno bene, le vivono ogni giorno, perché i politicanti di mezza tacca arrivano con grande stridore di freni, le cravatte sgargianti e le facce da "contadino ripulito per la domenica" da Enna, Cagliari o Treviso li vedono, purtroppo ogni giorno. Vestiti di blu scuro, quasi nero, e camicia bianca, orribilmente bianca, tutti uguali anche in questa cafonata, as time went around only drivers, waiters necrofori and head waiter, but only because their color was the obligation of "invisible" to those who did not have to look important with respect to the passenger, the coffin with the dead, the food color, aroma and flavor. The Mr. Nobody, in fact.
But, you know, if the policy is a cancer and politicians are parasites lifetime, it is right that acting within the blue-black too many, Mr. No one less hiding in Italy. It 's the non-color color of shame. Not live at the expense of the state, but citizens, having chosen a "profession" (well, euphemistically call it) that is to talk nonsense substantially without saying anything to get elected first and by colleagues (without co-opting the parties nor has the candidate) and then by the voters stupid or uninformed, or almost all of the Italians. Them if they play, if they sing. The provincial crowd the parties elect new "Paisan" and co-opt them by offering, indeed require voters to provinces where still apply the old ties of recommendations, mafias, friendship and kinship network.
Well, the vast majority of politicians is not originally from Rome, but is a resident or was born in the province, often even in small towns with few inhabitants. They are - how can we understand them, to look at the postcards their village - to want to live in Rome, behind the state and citizens, doing little or nothing for 20 000 euro per month. The great writer and polemicist Malaparte had understood and wrote his part in one of his comments in the newspapers then picked up in volume.

ROME PROVINCE
Curzio Malaparte

293-294.
E 'without doubt a clear sign of crumbling civil dell'avvilimento of our spirit, the fact that the province is so hard to cultivate the plant policy. Everything is political, in the province. Maybe perché l'intrigo, il pettegolezzo, la congiura, il tradimento spicciolo, le chiacchiere, le meschine diffamazioni, vi rappresentano la forma più nobile, per non dir la sola, di vita sociale. E questo fa che il responsabile, anzi il colpevole, dello spirito gretto e pettegolo della politica italiana, non è Roma, bensì la provincia, dove si educano alla politica nazionale coloro che poi, giunti a Roma come rappresentanti del popolo italiano, fan della politica un'arte provinciale, una sorta di mercato nazionale dei pettegolezzi, delle chiacchiere, dei particolarismi provinciali.
Se si compiesse un'indagine sull'origine della nostra classe politica, si vedrebbe che essa vien reclutata soprattutto nei ceti più gretti of our provinces, especially in those lagging behind, where power is not in hand or the old aristocracy, the bourgeoisie nor fat, nor the people, but closer to the elements, meanest, most tight-fisted, and socially more uncertain, more hybrids, which fans of gossip art policy, art and politics of gossip, and do not conceive of national problems if you do not like the repetition, on a larger scale, the usual, small provincial issues, and political struggle, if not Italian as a continuation of that eternal guerrilla in the "birthplace" for centuries pharmacists opposed to grocers, lawyers to doctors, the wives of some of the other wives.
Nor do I think my readers that I allude only to the southern Mezzogiorno: Italy is the whole country. I refer also to northern Italy and one in the middle, where the gossip, intrigue, gossip, personal grudges, are made of the same material of which are made in the South, but lack the bonhomie of the human understanding, that indulgence, which are common features of the Italians of the southern provinces, and that the Italians put the South in all their proceedings and in their every act, even in the acts and political judgments.
add that the same prefecture, which should represent, in the provinces, not only the authority, but the objectivity, impersonality of Stato, non sono, molto spesso, se non luoghi d'intrighi e di pettegolezzi provinciali. In moltissimi casi, se non in tutti, i Prefetti, anche i migliori (i Prefetti non son mai né buoni né cattivi: o son migliori, o son peggiori: cioè, o son migliori di uno cattivo, o peggiori di uno buono), finiscono per affondare fino al collo nella gretta vita provinciale, nelle beghe, nelle rivalità, nelle congiure, nelle chiacchiere della provincia, che è la gran maestra di vita di tutta la classe politica italiana. E taccio di quella amministrativa.
Quale meraviglia, dunque, se l'Italia è tutta Peretola? Se Roma, la Roma politica, non è se non la somma di tutte le Peretole italiane? E se perfino i Consigli Ministers are nothing but a repetition on a larger scale, the City Council Peretola?

IMAGE. The invective with apotropaic gesture of "horns" would not have occurred to any Roman politician. He had previously come to mind, in fact, the President Leone, from Campania. Here is a test of the ethnological traditions and beliefs of the persistence of deep southern province exported to Rome, for no fault of the Romans.
