The centenary of the fascist march on Rome and the establishment of the new government seen from satire
The Scratches of Damato
Thwarted by the circumstances, or by the shrewdness of the chronology desired above all by the President of the Republic, accelerating as much as possible the final part of the crisis that opened – let's not forget – in July with the resignation of Mario Draghi, and resulted in the political elections, the coincidence between parliamentary trust to the right-center government of Giorgia Meloni and the centenary of the fascist march on Rome has remained the prerogative of satire. A bit grim that of Laura Pellegrini on Repubblica , with the signature of Ellekappa, who on a black background raised the centenary cake, precisely, with the fire of the tricolor flame that unites all the editions and transformations of the right born in the Italian Republic on the ashes of fascism.
Less grim, or more ironic, as you prefer, was the old Sergio Staino in La Stampa who luckily, with Meloni at Palazzo Chigi as early as Monday, equipped with the bell passed to her by Mario Draghi, very happy to have finished his job as president of the Council, the centenary of the march of Rome "is still a weekday", today which is Friday.
After all, whoever unfortunately wanted to turn it into a holiday, as in the end shows to fear even the non-conformist of the left Piero Sansonetti with that showy title of his Riformista on the permanent "risk of fascism", would perpetuate a false historical, as he told us in the unsuspected Daily Done the good Claudio Fracassi.
The latter recalled: "Mussolini, who had not made even a meter of Marcia, arrived by train at the railway station of the Capital at 10.50 on Monday 30 October (other than 28 October, a historical date invented a century ago) in one bed-compartment of the direct train Milan-Rome which, according to the timetable, followed the Piacenza-Fornovo-Sarzana-Pisa-Civitavecchia-Rome route. The convoy was supposed to arrive at 9.10, but that morning it appeared at Termini station an hour late ”. Indeed more: one hour and forty minutes.
Even that delay Mussolini perhaps proposed to redeem by pursuing in his government action the ambitious project, also wrecked with the suicide of the Second World War with Hitler, of making Italy look like Switzerland for the punctuality of its trains. A project that a few decades later, re-proposed by the right that he considered "free from the DC", a disenchanted successor to Mussolini at the helm of the government as Giulio Andreotti compared to that of a "madman" convinced that he was "Napoleon".
Liviuccia's husband, as we found out that he was calling his wife by now reading the letters he used to write to her frequently, with the realism that distinguished him, he was satisfied that the trains traveled with the least possible delay. And – I fear for those who now expect another twenty years, this time for women – that even for Gorgia Meloni the trains must guarantee punctuality, yes, but even more safety, without of course being punctual or safe.
In this case Meloni would really become the mask represented in other ways on the Fact – and where else? – from the cartoon by Riccardo Mannelli. God, what did I write? Risk of ending up among those beaten yesterday by Marco Travaglio in expressing the "hope" that Giorgia Meloni "can swim, given the cascade of drool and saliva that floods her and that would also drown Gregorio Paltrinieri", the twenty-eight year old world champion in long course and in the ten kilometers in open water.
