"I've always found rhetorical emptiness the national anthem, not the good Mameli, who was also so young and therefore justifiable, but because any song is necessarily rhetorical. Now that sings Benigni not see why I should change my mind. If we were to sing it in one piece, there would be verses also embarrassing to say the least for those who believe in democracy. That Italy is united in its cultural and social growth of a country is fine with me that Italy is united in rhetoric volemosebene the pride of the soldiers or not.
Pride is a dangerous feeling, do not see why I should feel proud to be Italian, when it should mean that I prefer to be an Italian rather than French or Latvian or Kurdish or American or Israeli. I belong to any nationality would be irrelevant, because I believe that patriotism is something more than empty and dangerous. And basically that this is not come wars? is not the national anthems? It is not by us unite? The flags? When the news
give news of a disaster or a terrorist attack abroad, they hasten to say that among the victims there are Italian. But, subject to the concerns of the relatives of the victims, why should I feel relieved if the hundreds of deaths there are Italians? Others are not dead? Is it any less sorry if the dead do not speak our language? Responding to the rhetoric of the League with an even more old rhetoric does not seem useful. No, Benigni who sings the national anthem not move me at all and actually worries me a left that seems to respond to the lack of morality and the arrogance of the rulers with a blind bigotry or empty rhetoric.
