Contrary to what one might think ("blame the League said that the government line"), the causes of this are remote and cold are to be found in the two dominant cultures in the twentieth century, the Catholic and Marxist. The unification was made against the wishes and interests of the Vatican, with the unilateral approval of the "law of the Guarantees "(1871), suffered the end of the temporal power of the Pope The clash resulted in the excommunication of the protagonists of the Risorgimento, the Italian state is not recognized by the Pope (the composition of the" Roman Question "will have to wait for Patti the Lateran of 1929) and in the famous non expedit with which Pius IX in 1868, forbade Catholics to take part in the political life of the country that officially ban remained in force until the birth, in 1919, People's Party of Sturzo ( in fact, the Union election in 1904 gave the Catholic faithful have identical voting, while in 1913 the "pact Gentiloni" which ensured the support of Catholics to those candidates who pledged to defend the issues dear to the Church). For the Marxist culture, the Risorgimento had proved a missed opportunity and the betrayal of the expectations of the people, attracted by the mirage of "land to the peasants" and fiercely repressed by the army of Piedmont and the partisans themselves. Suffice it to recall the massacre of Bronte, denounced the novel by Giovanni Verga Freedom, from which the director Florestano Vancini drew in 1972, the beautiful Bronte. Chronicle of a massacre that history books have not told .
course, has long prevailed in the past too much rhetoric, particularly on the participation popular, modest among the poorest and least educated, devoid of political consciousness and little interested in the struggle for freedom and independence of Italy, as well as completely unaware of what was happening within a few kilometers from their hovel , given the poor circulation of news and illiteracy rampant (80-90% of the population in the south). As it has minimized the brutality of the fight against banditry, which recently had a lot of political and economic and social (also brought to light by the investigation Massari in 1863), scaling the figures of a dreadful massacre made possible through the legislative coverage authoritarian and the illiberal Pica law. Still, the feeling is that today is making an exaggeration contrary to support the thesis that subtly unification of the country has not been a good deal for anyone. But you can not defend the reasons for the South Unit claiming that the South was the first kingdom of progress and that the economic gap with the North is a legacy of the Risorgimento.
The backwardness is all the result of government policies north-centric, as the result of a ruling class that has always been a southern dell'ascarismo only the political horizon. The subordination of the South is also the product of a ruling class moaning and deaf, unable to rise up and convinced, however, as the Prince of Salina, "Leopards, jackals and sheep continue to believe the salt of the earth." Faced with the theft perpetrated (and certified) to the detriment of the South in the now famous story of the Fas funds, our representatives in Parliament would have to raise the barricades, coalescing beyond the political divide they belong to "team" to defend the interests of the South. None of that. For Ascari, a place or some undersecretary in charge of relief to be able to produce the same effect in the curriculum have advised the sugar from Mary Poppins. Even if instead of the pill must swallow a toad.
