Southerners are all mobsters, gangsters and criminals?
I put the question to the sentence to cause, But I don't intend to waste time at all to demonstrate that the answer is “No”.
Although I am of that “North” which many say that downloaded the junk to “South”, Especially in Campania I will not fall into the trap of ethnic hatred wanted by powers to govern in the name of justice.
I'll explain. Many important political and cultural figures of the “South”, including certain Saviano, they publicly affirmed that the responsibility of the Campania situation and the waste is the fault of the “North” For years he would send industrial junk.
How I should feel I who break to do the differentiated from even before it was managed and imposed by the public administration? Should I feel like a hit Southern when someone says they're all mobsters?
Instead I do not feel co -responsible for the more than when he hears say “North” I do not identify myself because in reality my Venetian land is located in the center of Europe, and that does not even exist geograficamene “Northeast” of Italy invented by the communists so much Italy is inclined .
I know well that the presence in the south of many mobsters, Camorra and “ndranghetani” It does not mean that all southerners are such, or that they are criminals. sure, there are many criminals, but still a minority.
Then ask: This distinction also applies to the “North”? It seems not to Saviano and others.
And incriminates at all of del “North” a few individuals. Let us admit that there were criminals who downloaded rubbish in the south and in Campania, and we admit also that some company has also brought toxic garbage (Although behind the invitation or tacit consent of local administrators ). But this means that the whole North has brought garbage? It means that this fraction of a million people who failed reppresenti “ALL” it north ? It means that the Mestre disposal systems, Brescia and all the composting system does nothing? Or are we talking about isolated cases and minority?
Judging by the media exhibition that is given to these characters, they represent the new South, But their qualunquismo is shocking .
If you used the same criteria and giudicassi the south by a few public figures and facts, I should conclude that the mentality is still stopped in the Middle Ages where the gangs of crime play the role of feudal lords of the regime. I should conclude that the mentality is far from being approached to the common one throughout the rest of Europe (which instead is similar to the one that prevailed in the free Venetian Republic, ie liberal, social, environmentalist and meritrocratica).
But I'm not an indifferent, and therefore I associate this indifference quite a few wrong political tendency of individual characters. Or desire for protagonism at the cost of falsifying reality. E so che per fortuna non rappresentano il sud così come il nord non è rappresentato da qualche inquinatore o da qualche politico corrotto e tangentaro.
Saviano Stop saying such stupid things around in the north. But excuse me, one that does “rallies” a tutto spiano come lui può essere veramente in pericolo tanto da richiedere la scorta?
Update of October 2008: the media have boosted sales of his book, and now even before someone invented that it was in danger of death on disclosure of a repentant, But the repentant denied. Ma cosa c’è dietro il fenomeno Saviano?

E’ vero…and industrialists who agree “honestly” with them for their waste spilled into the house of the mafia in order to save 4 cents are from above. Sarà un caso? Our criminals have the scar on his face and a gun in your pocket, your chest and have twice 24 ore. You will say “Our criminals are criminals civilized”, for me is always poo poo.

Saviano is a clever three-cooked and those that follow after they are idiots or even sharp operators tricking them…
The good Southerners are many, comunque direi che son sempre in minoranza rispetto agli altri 😉

Apparently Saviano “l’unico napoletano onesto che racconta la verità ” (in contrapposizione agli altri che invece difendono l’indifendibile e negano l’innegabile) when Naples is like a merdaio third world where children Camorra emerge from manholes, when then it illustrates the many conspiracies that industire and politicians (quando avrebbe accusato l’INTERO nord di essere un popolo di “sversatori”???? you have a link ?) the north becomes a racist scoundrel. Kudos to the usual northern typically consistency. Dear sir Ciccio, I see that in the end we are not that much different views:I also believe that in the north there are many good people…but compared to the mass of racists, ignorant, indifferent and hypocrites who condemn our mafia people, but at night there esitani to enter into business with it, I am a tiny miniranza….But who knows why when you are victims of mental patterns that you have used for centuries you will offend yourself and shout at “Southern racism”, while if you use them you are objective and scientifically proven truths. Ve beh….I'm going to talk about religion with the Taliban that I think it's easier to find someone with whom you can reason.

I am sorry to contradict you but in the Serenissima only some families voted that they then held the power. They had no constitutional liberty even remotely comparable to today and there were no parties or anything else .. so it is thanks to this so much despised Italietta as you say that you can now vote , you had lots of infrastructure and a policeman you can not just stop if you're nasty…The Serenissimo was a good thing in 1500 .. but already in 1700 It was an old iron that had to compete with France and Austria from here the decadence .. the story must be studied all .. the Veneto entered the modern era thanks to the struggles of Manin in 1848 and thanks to united Italy!

certainly certainly serenissima was an example of the liberal state, There was no constitution and always ruled the usual families!La Serenissima was an oligarchy!! also in 1700 La Serenissima was in full disgrazia..terra of prostitutes and pimps called it the British when they made the Grand Tour in Venice!!! also in 1848 The Venetians fought against Austria under the tricolor flag ... Ircardi the figure of Manin? AND WITH ,The Unit of Italy also in the Veneto was extended the Albertine Statute which gave the freedom of worship and established a parliamentary regime…things that were not there in the Serenissima!! Of the story you Venetian studied only the part that makes you comfortable.es of being oppressed by the Italians even if the Veneto under Austria was the most poor area of the Empire while this region became rich only from the 1960s thanks also to the many infrastructures built by the Italian state to unite Italy with central Europe!!
I remember you, Finally, that all Italians are contributing to the construction of the Mose and to the safeguarding of Venice and that through the League governed Italy…

Yet in the Venetian Republic the concrete liberty of the individual were the largest in the known world, such as guarantees of justice and social mobility.
Free from fear of your country, of its ruler, of barbaric invasion.
Free science, arts, creators of the Renaissance, of the art comedy .
For this reason the city voted for us.
He studied a bit’ History you're less ridiculous.

the Serenissima was by no merit or European…in 1700 It was now reduced to a brothel in the open…It ruled by an oligarchy of Venetian families who behaved as clan…There were no constitutional liberals even remotely comparable to those of Europe of 1700..in England or in France .. and not even to nearby Germany.. Venice had its flourishing period 1500-1600 When the Venetian oligarchy was better than French absolutism for example…
La Serenissima in 1700 He went increasingly declining until it was conquered by the French and then by the Austrians…Venice in 1848 Manin below and exposing the tricolor Italian rebelled against the Austrians…Veneto has entered Europe thanks to the much despised Italian state that guaranteed the religious liberty with the Staututo Albertino, remarkable policies for those times and thanks to the construction of many infrastructures…including the last Mose..
SE many Italian dispezzano the Venetians so maybe it's also due to some’ Venetian arrogance or not?
