By a twist of the car, that the way to the revelry of New Year has decided to grant only a temporary use of radio frequencies, I ended up listening to the speech to the nation by the President of the Republic . To be honest, having a mountain of prejudices about the of public rituals like this and having no intention of jeopardizing the lowest level of stupidity of the evening that was to do with concepts at a higher level in third grade, I was going to turn off the radio to enjoy a chat with those who accompanied me. Probably more to avoid that moment of intimacy that could lead to an attack rather than direct interest logorrhea, my kind hostess asked me to let the President finish his speech. And then I sat back, and I gave an ear to the radio.
I do not think the discussion was started a long, topics were as expected, or at least predictable. What? All. Starting from an average of thirty seconds for lighter subjects and getting five, six minutes for the most articulate, Napolitano cited almost every corner of the political and social life of the country. I do not have sufficient expertise to judge the merits, but the feeling is that, in this way, we can not get anything better than a taste dilution of the juice. The form would probably be this one, as this has always been in the past, but this form is almost impossible to find sufficient substance because something can survive until January 3. Francesco Costa, as always with great clarity and analytical capabilities, hopes something different .

I may not. Not this year.
As I climbed the hills toward the president's speech is devoid of the concept, becoming more and more like a pre-Christmas. Poverty, insecurity, the Church with which to share intentions, volunteering and so on, all issues on which you evidently can hope for more interest by all, no doubt, but who have dealt with this pout pourri nothing more than the effect of a dutiful appendix.
Yet the more the President's speech is flavored with a touch of rhetoric, most began to invade a nearly imperceptible sense of serenity. As if the constant overthrow the buonsenso, il decadentismo politico che aspira con orgoglio ad épater le bourgeois, la ricerca della frase ad effetto da incastonare nella testa degli italiani, avessero ormai raggiunto un livello di assuefazione mentale; una condizione di anestesia, della quale ho avuto modo di accorgermi solo facendomi trasportare per qualche minuto alla situazione precedente. In questo senso il discorso di Napolitano può aver avuto una qualche funzione sociale; abbandonarci a qualche minuto di buonsenso non può fare male. Farà male, semmai, il ritorno alla realtà. Lo farà perchè per qualche minuto ci siamo ricordati che non è così che andrebbe trattata l'arte nobile della politica. Che le istituzioni meritano di essere rappresentate con più equilibrio e capacità di quanto non stia accadendo ora. Farà male e non ci impiegherà molto, state tranquilli.
