These are times of crisis we all know and never tires Minister Tremonti to remind pushed foot. We know the same minister Tremonti with one of his jokes for his miserable existence has reminded us that the culture does not eat, and it is true, but to recover € 648 000 in the state budget can certainly make other sacrifices, which cut through culture. For example giving up a dozen blue car 4200 Audi type of displacement that are so fashionable for travel expenses of ministers and Olgettina, or tick, or even that much expenditure on luxuries of the House and Senate where he got to spend € 4400 to buy 50 towels of flax for the presidential guest bathroom of the apartment or even avoid the use of aircraft as a taxi for the Presidency of the Council papers and Velona. But € 648 000 were taken from the financing of the Dante Alighieri Society, which has the task of promoting the Italian language and culture worldwide. In previous years the funding of this firm had been reduced by € 1 million and 700 thousand to 1 million 248 thousand euro, today the institution founded by Joshua Carducci in 1889, will get away with € 600 000, 53.5% fewer than in 2009. Disheartening if you compare the funding that other European institutions to grant equal importance to that task and Italian. A charge that arises from the TV show "Come away with me" Saviano Fazio and reminded us that as the Dante Alighieri Society promotes Italian language courses all over the world from Argentina to the Far East of Russia and how these courses are attended by over 200 000 people. Of course you can not maintain a network so huge with just state funding, so much so that the Società Dante Alighieri actually operating for the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Cultural Heritage lives mainly on voluntary and courses which are all paid.
And then we wonder why these cuts?
Perhaps the answer lies in the political climate today that we breathe in Italy, the climate is not very favorable to revive the national values: Who does not remember the Lega campaign last summer to force the teachers to learn the southern dialects of the north? Or the frequent vilification of the flag? Or the sun in the Alps printed on the mats in schools? Even in recent months is the challenge (and hopefully is just a provocation) of some peripheral administration of the alloy take advantage of the controversy on the case Baptists have not (done literally disappear from the library) the books of those authors did not welcome the league itself. A strong air of censorship pervades our country and in the general silence is happening something unheard of: the authors are politically inconvenient ignorance Lumbard made to disappear. In fact, cases of censorship League, creeping or otherwise, are reported by some librarians Veneto. To be discouraged is above all the books by Roberto Saviano. In the days following the airing of "Come away with me" and the controversy with Maroni, the director of a library in the province of Treviso has recommended that the mayor did not like the League should be held books of the author of "Gomorrah": present in catalog, but disappeared from the shelves. Sieves with explain, then, this horde of herdsmen of fourth order that the books are preserved for their intrinsic value regardless of the political views of the authors or assessors.
So back forcefully to the fore the cutting of funds to the Dante Alighieri Society, a cut that seems to be wanted by those who now point the Italian political and this is certainly not the Baluba but Berlusconi Bossi.
