Historians John Sabbatucci and Lucio Villari, protagonists of a history lesson on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of unification on Rai Uno.
CAPUA - Today, day 17 (number certainly do not like, at least according to the Neapolitan grimace) for the month of March (month treacherous second the proverb "see the sun March crazy and take an umbrella") and then in difficulty from the outset, we celebrate the anniversary of the proclamation of the Kingdom king of Italy with the King of Sardinia Vittorio Emanuele II . He to confirm departure on the wrong foot did not change its ordinal II to I (he was the first and not the second king of Italy) and already this thing that seems insignificant, but it is not at all, clear all the matter that goes by the name of resurgence (do not know where!) and was in fact a simple story of conquest and annexation, one piece at a time and not so calm, throughout the Italian peninsula. Leaving aside the gains to the detriment of Lombardo - Veneto, the Duchies of Parma and Modena and the Papal States, his achievements expressed through actions of aggression without a declaration of war, but justified (at least formally!) riots by "popular" (obviously caused by undercover agents, sent by the Government of Sardinia-Piedmont), I am interested understandably the military occupation of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, which was found to undergo double assault by a gang headed by irregular Garibaldi and the Kingdom of Sardinia, first subtly, then clearly, but always without any representation not say of war, but even enmity. Taking into account also the action of support given to Sardinian - Piedmont from the always present (where there is something to be taken) Great Britain. And things ended as they finished, we know, with the removal from the political map of Europe in a secular state extended throughout the South from the river Tronto on the Adriatic, and the river Canneto, on the Tyrrhenian Sea to Cape Lilibeo in Sicily and Puglia in S. Maria di Leuca.
Then began a damnatio memoriae throughout the South and in particular the of Bourbon Two Sicilies Dynasty. The aim is to make people forget the real story, if they built a false, artificial, to usum delphini to build a myth, just as the Renaissance and its key players, the famous Vittorio Emanuele II, Garibaldi, Cavour and Mazzini, accompanying them to a host of minor characters, but no less harmful and sometimes wicked and cruel, northern Italy, but also, sadly, the South itself, and they were not just but, above all, were among the worst.
Among these I include two professors, academics, state that in the morning program devoted to "RAI History" at the ceremony was taking place in Rome, and held that the bank prof. Luciano and Prof. Villari. John Sabbatucci, describing precisely the history of the event in question and the events preceded and followed him.
My God, we can not accept that you continue to tell stories criticizing revisionism, however, that revealed and continues to do so, thank God, so many truths hidden or disguised: you can not refuse 'existence of the steel plant in Calabria Calabria limiting the industry's small weaving flax family (in smelters and mines were all induced more than 5000 workers) can not be said that the insurgents were street thugs ignoring European legitimacy of the protagonists who came to defend the sacred rights of the King of the Two Sicilies as Trazignies De De Christen, De La Grange and Börjes, among others, can not justify the application of the law Pica (ruthless and cruel repressive law) saying that the state must defend itself, without invoking the same argument to defend himself when he was the legitimate government by reducing the Neapolitan criminal and tyrannical government and raising the invaders to the rank of patriots. And so on, citing the number of students who were present in the United wrongly declared, without taking into account that over the University of Naples, there were, in Sicily, Palermo (establishment of Bourbon), the Messina ( reopened at the behest of Ferdinand II in 1838 after being closed by the English in 1674) and Catania (established in 1434), in addition to the Royal Grammar schools and Royal Colleges (parauniversitari institutions and the first top-level as the existing schools, with the latter) located throughout the Kingdom and, finally, without telling, compulsory education law for which is the last provision enacted in the name of FrancescoII November 24, 1859. How can you not mention at least some of the points of excellence of the Kingdom? The Royal Colony of San Leucio, the experiment Community functioning and successful;
Aerial view of the Royal Colony of San Leucio
the railways of the Two Sicilies (not just the 12 kilometers of Naples - Portici), the realization of the first steam ship that has sailed the Mediterranean (the "Ferdinand I") start of a long series of technological innovations used in the shipbuilding sector;
The Ferdinand launched in 1818 in Castellammare di Stabia
the first iron suspension bridge, on the Garigliano Ferdinand and Maria Cristina on the Heat; Pietrarsa, Real Factory where he worked to make the iron Calabrian locomotives of the Two Sicilies (the other Italian states had to buy from Britain or France), where now instead of the steel factory, whose plants were transferred the North, there is only one railway museum, a museum and important but not a source of employment and income for local populations;
Real Factory Pietrarsa, now a museum of the Italian railways
or still Cantieri Navali di Castellammare di Stabia, without taking into account the most important thing: that dignity of identity that has been removed.
Nothing but lies, lies, knowing such to say, so much so that in truth the Professor. Sabbatucci dropped significantly dissociated from the colleague in the grip of fury unitary far as to say that the truth, which is not such, should be imposed.
And that, among other things, also paid with my money without my approval. If you want to make propaganda exercises of this kind make the paying of his own pocket!
All this without even mentioning, or not go out, all the orgy of flag that this event took place and it is carrying out without any regard, I repeat, for those who pay (and the money spent must be just so many!) according to that patriotic rhetoric myeloma and repulsive that we have always found in textbooks and in any official event.
