Elbow Is Swollen And Hot And Red

Ultras. Breaking a community of people

Published in the "Fund" www.mirorenzaglia.org of 13 December '10

What drives a fan of Turin to go and see a team that collects figures painful for years and ranks Carneades who fit the name Caesar and Iunco maybe in January will go away? The pride of being part of the Marathon, one of the curves that have made the history of Italian supporters. To feel part of something bigger and try to stop time, to return to 90 'when the stadium was the collective ritual of Sunday. Or, similarly, what door, when the satellite TV offer the dribbling of the subtleties of Messi or Robben comfortably there on the small screen, a fan of Ternana or Verona to take hours and hours of travel for a game of First Division and of the players after the game not even greet them? Membership in your group. It's not that we must be happy, that, yes, but take note: the ultras was able to continue to aggregate in a liquid society is increasingly fragmented.

Roberto Stracca, Tifo, violence, pride. In the last curve tribes

was a September day nine years ago. At this point I was fifteen or sixteen. Like many others I could not satisfy the school, the girls of the family. Maybe the books were already there and maybe something to write, but I needed more. He arrived shortly after the policy, but it was exciting as my first "initiation" adolescence. It will be a forum that was better than a garage-section, then the idea that I would have changed the political will that was something more alive. As Robert says Stracca in his latest article in the November 22, 2010 on Corsera , in a world without naja, without politics, without aggregation, there is the stadium as thousands of young people to the square. Or maybe there was. For the game, passion, madness. But still there had to be.

worried that I was a teenager, of course I could not be satisfied. There was Rome, there was the incredible South Bend Giallorossi were the years the league, so what better way? Yes, of course, I went there with my friends: I also subscribe, and I experienced the magic of running up the stairs after the gates of the stadium: hand controls, (or when you pushed past them all together, like a human tide, to enter without ticket. But there were no filters as now), and increases the pace even more when you're on the steps already hear the chorus and when you reach the end you have all the Olympic open before you. It was there, too. How was the football I was playing every Sunday morning. Put the boots, gloves, and excited for that too. But not enough for me. I had to fill on Saturday of that madness.

In Rome we know there is Rome Lazio. A Lazio reverse the order. But what I say will change little. A passion for football that fills a city, taking its bedroom communities. Maybe football is what remains of the soul of a city that is losing its soul (or maybe he lost some time). But there, nine years ago, there was another team, the third team in the capital: the Lodigiani. His story was more or less a fairy tale: born in 1972 as a corporate team of a firm of builders (the manufacturers Lodigiani precisely) to win the championship in 1983 at the Inter-arrival then in Serie C2. At the time, played in the district of Lodi San Basilio, to Frank John, who had feared a field, a "bucket" given the animosity of the populous district of Rome. Then he moved to the Stadio Flaminio, in the early 90s and also comes in C1 touching even the B-series losing play-off match with Salernitana.

the Lodigiani I know her very well. Like all kids my age playing football. Because the youth had a Lodigiani important, perhaps one of the largest in Italy in the sports center of Borghesiana (where he still found the National). For us who dreamed of a future as the players Lodigani was like the Roma or Lazio. But at first team level was still a team to Serie C1. He played at the Flaminio, which is a huge stadium. If you looked at the images on television that stage you saw it empty. And that September nine years ago, Lodi was a team in freefall who had lost the splendor of the past decade. But wandering

made a discovery. There were the Ultra Lodi! There was a group of boys who followed the team since 1996, especially following her everywhere. In every place of Italy, in any business, without skipping one. They were very, very few. But they played the drum, and had a retro, 70's and 80's in South curve no longer went out of fashion. If you give a fuck then that the policy was fashion. I decided to throw myself headlong in that September of 2001. It was everything I needed.

I remember that I arrived there at the Flaminio accompanied by my father. Then picked me up in return. But then of course he was not longer allowed on my part. I lived far away from the Flaminio. I had to take a bus, then another, then almost all the way to the metro, and then take the famous tram from Piazza Mancini 2 (also known as Port Olimpico). Obviously, since the Lodigiani played on Saturday afternoon and Saturday morning I went to school I was leaving school with a sandwich. Alone. He managed to bring three friends over time, but did not return a second time. To hell with it rub on Saturday and kid, I had to go and see the Lodi!

bought the shirt in the group, which had little to define self-sufficient. Tifa whole game like a madman. I met the other guys in the band for a few years and that became my world. The group had a fanzine, even the self-sufficient, and since one week after starting to write. Always. It 'grows from there that my passion for writing, in spite of all those who say that the Ultra is only violence. For me it was fun. It was commitment. It was fun. He was sharing. It was not the company liquid and disintegrated television.

I was in the stands empty for three years of Flaminio. But now I do not want to talk more than me. Why Ultrà Lodigiani still exist, despite their history, certainly not known, the typical history of modern football.

In those three years of cheering, the Lodi was relegated in 2003 and relegated to C2 in series D. It was a repechage to save her from the abyss. But at that time the company is close to the company Group Cisco Lodigiani. The company's president in addition to being very rich in calcium also has the ball, and his name years before he had felt for the purchase of Lazio. In addition there was an amateur team for years, Cisco Collatino. The ultra Lodigiani understood what the fly was happening and boycotted a hybridity that was being created (which was named Cisco Lodigiani). In 2005 the Lodi disappeared altogether, to make way for Cisco Roma. Virtually company bought a football team, taking the name and history. This would also disappear due to the Ultra. But this did not happen.

no longer had the team since the New Lodi company founded shortly after departed completely from the youth sector. For years the Ultras have followed the children of Junior, and have not stopped screaming their anger against Cisco which was advertising with Di Canio in the field

... ... In 2008, the story seems start from the first category. Back to the top, Stracca wondered what prompted the ultras of Turin, the renamed and dell'Hellas Italy for shooting the teams now in decline. The ultra Lodigiani off again instead of the first category, which is hell of football for those who had left his team in C. Last year there was the jump in promotion, but the Ultras have all been warned. For a country to fight in a game of first-class ...

Many teams have gone bankrupt in recent years. And now I'm in hell of football. Many teams of football heaven have never known. But their ultras are still there. In spite of everything. Certainly the ultras has blemishes as well Stracca said. But even good things. The ultra

Lodigiani are still there. And I wish there were still 16 year old kid who only need this to feel viv

Liberia (man) Saviano

Published in the "Fund" www.mirorenzaglia.org of November 23, 2010

A country that goes through a crisis in need of heroes. Or even myths. Characters in fact be taken as a model to come out, to get up for a replacement. Characters spotless, incorruptible, which can not be wrong. A hero is never wrong. Suffer little or not it gives see. It 'just, fair. It 'a hero in short, something to inspire them.

We have had many in the literature, but also in the reality of our world.

The crisis in the country is Italy, and the hero we need is called Roberto Saviano.

not want to be a neurotic snobs, and then find it normal that in this difficult situation in many of the journalist and writer have made a model. Almost an icon. Even I sometimes think so. But we think

Che Guevara? As has become only an icon pop his life? What has become only a shirt, a pin, a flag a man known to history as a hero?

"... somewhere someday, where you will not know ... which will return" Frank Sinatra sang . But Saviano is our Che Guevara? Our hero, the one guide that we waited a long time? Surely he is in danger of becoming pop icon : Facebook profiles with his face, the video of his monologues that rages in all spaces. I repeat: there is tremendous good faith in us that we do all this.

But the heroes just do not have defects. And they do not have to have. Otherwise not true, otherwise do not apply. And that's why we do not forgive anything in Saviano: do not forgive to publish with Mondadori, not forgive the cachet of television, did not condone the items that we do not like, it's not forgive the literary beauty of Gomorrah. "It 's a documentary not a novel!" Says indignantly fiercely! We are so schizophrenic, we also in our good faith, that we cling to anything: the demagoguery, the summons on the MSI, its cilia, the absence of this and that in his monologues. This up to the grim contempt considered a privilege, to be regarded as sold, despite the stock and half a life.

But sometimes it's forgive all, because the heroes so much good that we do not want to see when they are wrong. Why the heroes can not be wrong, because they are a symbol and a symbol can not stain. We do not see that Saviano public with Mondadori, we do not see that its cachet (given the integrity of the character) might be revised, we see that sometimes in danger of being demagogic, we do not notice that some points in his speeches may be far from our vision the world. Because what is a hero is all right. We can not say, maybe, the output of collusion between the 'Ndrangheta and the League was better documented, and not just mentioned, in a monologue instead fairly well documented? He made a mistake, nothing wrong. No hero Saviano is always right! But Roberto Saviano

not a hero. It is not a politician. It is not a prophet. It 's just a man. One of the most beautiful phrases I heard him say, and vents his anger punching a punching bag. Roberto Saviano is a human being and try fury. I find her beautiful monologues or when he speaks because I see the shyness in her eyes despite the role it plays. His being embarrassed her feel out of place even if he is the center stage. Saviano has passion when he speaks, the passion typical of those who believe in what he is doing. E 'bravo, bravissimo, but it is not a professional like Fazio . Luckily it's not even as benign. Here is Roberto Saviano is a human being.

A wonderful human being. Who wanted to tell something and it did. And this is paying a high price, a price that is paid for with royalties and the cachet mother of Rai. Why a life like his is a very difficult life. But I think that we, I speak of those in good faith, we are contributing even more to his suffering. We expect something from this man. Then we discuss for hours in the newspapers, on websites, blogs about what does and what does not. What was good and bad thing. Not understanding that a human being like us, a human being who has overcome the fear to be brave. And this is paying his courage.

I fear for Roberto Saviano. And the bullet that can kill. But I fear that this star system to kill him. This having obsessively put under the spotlight, amplify his every word. Why not just us in good faith. Why in moments of crisis, it is known, there is also need an enemy to be killed. This is for those in bad faith. Those who suggest that without passion is a bastard, a greedy money. Those who want to dress up as Sandokan to meet him. Those who would like to nominate it in politics, because the opposition has no other means that men (as he is, is a man!) And can not admit it. Those who arrest a fugitive, saying aloud that this is the fight against the Mafia in deeds, not words ...

As if the words of Saviano had a fault, and not a virtue.

still (unfortunately) on Berlusconi

From "The Fund" www.mirorenzaglia.org 8 November 2 010

honestly do not understand why the opposition of Italian journalism, and that all suspected intellectuals who should represent it, every now and not be silent. Or to put it better: why do not realize that silence is the cure for this country? Yes, I would like to launch a slogan: we are shut up! We do not talk! In short, we do more / other concern ourselves.

what I mean? The new soap opera on the media's sexual impulses Silvio Berlusconi . It would be useless here retrace the whole story, since all (unfortunately) know what happened. I would rather think about another fact. E 'public domain, many admitted they regretted mafia Forza Italy was the party of reference for the gang in the early 90's. E 'result that: Previti, Ligresti, Dell'Utri, Murdock. Even less candidly admits that: Silvio Berlusconi entered politics in particular to avoid ending up in jail, and in fact in the past 16 years (the Lodo Alfano the last act) has always managed to escape the dark cat. But there is also another result, in fact: Veronica Lario has quietly sought help for her former husband, implying that is a bit ', say, sex maniac. Then we find Letizia, D'Addario, Minister Carfagna and the Adviser that were dental hygienists. This whole sad list to say what he thinks Republic ? Do you really think a man unharmed in the past all these years, may fall for a Moroccan escort underage? For an erotic dance? For a call to the police station? I think this seems to be idiots. It seems to me plus the prestige idiot to think that man Silvio Berlusconi can be tarnished by these his vice. I refer to deepen Article last issue of The Fund for Graziella Balestrieri [ read here]. The politically incorrect

Silvio Berlusconi, his being Ubu Roi is a characteristic feature of his policy. And it is especially the linguistic feature that has dramatically changed the perception of reality for many Italians, and therefore the policy of our country. All this we know, and I think that the opposition and its vanguard (if any) should know this better than anyone. Italy is a country where sense has changed, where the temporary school are on hunger strike and a minister says, "are ideological." As if hunger and fear for the future have an ideology.

I remain amazed that the director de Unit Concita De Gregorio, live on Year Zero continue in the clash with the lawyer Ghedini to talk about ethics. As if the political ethics, trampled by Silvio Berlusconi may still be a point in favor of the left (which in many cases the same ethics has ignored). It is not clear that there is already a political figure who fills the void institutional and ethical trampled by Berlusconi: this is Gianfranco Fini . Because let's face it: what is the reason for the success of today's leading Fli? Its success lies completely in its institutional declarations, politically correct times. After all the Finian continue to be in coalition with Berlusconi and without prejudice I find illuminating and bombastic their positions. However, despite this, the laboratory culture of Fini, Farefuturo , is the new element in the Italian political culture. Also saying things very interesting, but more often than not simply just take a stand against the 'indecency Berlusconi.

can then continue the opposition in Italy Fini to mimic that currently is not even the opposition? May continue after more than a decade to use the method Di Pietro, the method Republic ? It is not clear which is a method that has not happened? Instead, he continues to propose and do not fall into the trap most insidious of Berlusconi who is the image of Berlusconi himself: Silvio that goes into our homes. Orwell need not bother to ask, is not like Big Brother? This talk about the private life of power is not part of the design of power itself? This is not his great success?

In Italy there is a plague, and I say this without over-emphasized. And it is the plague that we need to talk and do some 'silence on' user. A plague that is destroying the future of young people due to the precarious and unprotected. A plague that is destroying the public education and research. Marchionne, who is with a fever and his model "take it or leave it." A plague that is in Abruzzo in a state that does not protect citizens from a seismic hazard found. A plague that killed Carlo Giuliani, Gabriele Sandri, Stefano Federico Cucchi and Aldovrandi . A fever that leads to the roof workers and immigrants desperate on cranes. There is also Silvio Berlusconi in this plague. There's your domain information and the role that has had and that in human relegation of our country. But is not the most interesting topic to talk about. We need to talk about the actions of policy, we must talk about what's really happening in our country. Because reality is not Villa Certosa and Palazzo Grazioli.
