The proposal to create a foundation for the 100 years of Latina passed in the Senate. Initiative of Senator Nicola Calandrini who, in the planning phase, had the support of Fazzone, Durigon, Miele… Of all the Pontine parliamentarians. You know that by profession I am quite contrary, I like to turn things upside down and therefore point out the critical issues that dreams have in the real world. But… Latina is not 100 years old, because she burned 20 for a reckless, James Dean-style youth. I consume the rest in discovering the city from the country it once was. Now? Now in the remaining time let’s make a flight, a flight like that of falcons. We go up and from there we try to throw ourselves down in the illusion of catching our prey which is the future. You know I don’t suffer from nostalgia but we started futurists against traditionalism and we start again from the future. We want to be the society we will be, we want to dream of a trip to Mars not a sightseeing tour in Rome. Thus, putting into the blender of the mediocre present, the intuitions that made us of another time and then the suggestions that will come, oil from Cori, annutolo meat from Fossanova, the new things of Leo XIII and the books of the seminars of Sezze and the prints of Bassiano, the flowers of Ninfa and… It would be nice to be free tomorrow from yesterday’s resentments. A Latina who at 100 years old appears like a little girl with inside her the stories of many grandmothers but her own future. This is how I see it, as a man from this swamp, stepmother and mother in one love. I wrote it as it came to me and don’t say I was biased because you can’t be biased about a book yet to be written, the pages are there now…
