Vivere all’estero per un italiano implica il doversi confrontare quotidianamente con una serie di luoghi comuni difficili da sradicare.
Primo fra tutti, e non poteva essere altrimenti, la mafia. Non esiste occasione, cena, serata in cui non scappi una battuta, uno scherzo, una risata al riguardo. Questo accade non tanto per cattiveria o per mancanza di gusto ma per ignoranza: all’estero e’ infatti radicata la triste immagine che la mafia sia “cool”! Nulla di che stupirsi, oramai ci dovremmo avere fatto l’abitudine considerando serie televisive come The Sopranos o film come The Godfather che promuovono un’immagine distorta e surreale della mafia stessa. Noi italiani sappiamo bene che la vera mafia e’ quella impersonata Provenzano holed up like a mouse who lived 35 years in a dingy hole in the ground and feeds on that every now and his men brought him ... Other than the villas, women, cars and yachts Vito Andolini good!
Mafia aside, still survives the strong rise of the Italian town of La Dolce Vita "spaghetti, pizza and mandolin at a glance which expresses the idea that Italians are accustomed to the good life, good food, fun and, by contrast, are lazy, lazy and not driven to work, they are very reliable, which often try to get by with minimal effort. Normal 'and' that when an Italian abroad say a time, to be automatically called for "real-time Italian time ago?" which means exactly what the allegations are not credible in the eyes of an Italian of an alien ... Another alleged consequence
Italianness 'and' the fact that the eyes of others, we were all born in the Peninsula, breathe, eat and live exclusively for football. One of the first questions you will be directed abroad, '"Which football team?" And if one dared to say that football is not interested, the general reaction would be amazing! Personally, I like football and this situation causes me discomfort, unlike the cases can be considered very irritating if not offensive.
Then, as is clear to all, Italians abroad must endure a series of platitudes, sometimes very unpleasant, which often do not belong. In everything 'and is' added another previously unknown problem: the' anomaly Berlusconi.
Never before has a Prime Minister (democratically elected) and 'could become so ridiculous in the eyes of world public opinion as the current one. No matter the extraction of the interlocutor foreign policy, liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat, socialist or popular for all to see Berlusconi is the anomaly incomprehensible for a country's long democratic tradition, among the most 'richest in the world, a G8 member and founder of the Union. The demand for more 'applicant' and 'if indeed the Italians have voted for 5 times and the phrase' often accompanied by the application if he had stolen the election 'cause in the eyes of a stranger would almost be more plausible to believe rather than fraud a real choice of the Italian people. And here, I regret to admit, I would give some relief (if only I would reduce the 'embarrassed) to say that the fact the elections were stolen and that the Italians would never have elected (and reelected) a Premier like this or that at least err humanum est sed persevere Diabolicum. But 'the harsh and cruel reality' and that I am forced to admit 'that the Italians want Berlusconi, I have always wanted and have always voted by a large majority!
I leave you to understand what may be the next foreign interlocutor comments ...
It 's not need a vivid imagination to understand the dismay of a citizen when informed of stradominio Berlusconi's media, that is by far the richest man in the country that is a defendant in dozens of trials (including trials for mafia) and the fact that, rather than defend themselves in court, use the legislative power of Parliament to his personal use and consumption that it is established the guilt of his closest collaborators, that is promoted as a staunch defender of the family despite being divorced twice, and do habitual use of prostitutes (which I absolutely do not care, but 'average Catholic voter in theory ...); the fact that his endless series of gaffes with foreign leaders is dragging us into the ridiculous, the fact that the utterances of some members of his government give rise to accusations of racism on the part of international bodies, and so is could go on all pages of ink ...
I said, therefore, that normal, 'the wonder of the average European citizen. But what was not yet ready to face instead was taken into around by nationals of countries which, in theory, should be well below the scale of our development and democracy ... The anomaly Berlusconi, as well as being clearly unacceptable in developed countries, is becoming questionable in any country in the developing world and even those not fully democratic.
and I 'happened to hear me say that in Malaysia "here we would never be possible to have someone like Berlusconi to power," a Thai reminded me that the local telecommunications tycoon (nb: Thaksin Shinawatra) and' was laid to acclaim when it became clear that only defended its interests (and here the comparison and 'quite apt I think many Indonesians ...); I maintained that even in the days of dictator Suharto was formally awarded to the Prime Minister to own television stations, and so on ...
But we, you know ', we are Italians!
We like to watch the game with the cap on his head while eating a nice plate of spaghetti with Tarantella background during working hours, so the fact that we continue to elect a man who makes us ridiculous in the eyes of all non- it arouses indignation they concern MOST IT 'is apostrophe as "have you seen that have combined the Italians?" is underlined with a fat laugh, a few jokes and disparaging another link in the chain of sites common on Italian ...
It 's hard ... It 's really hard, I guarantee!
