was November of 2009 and made quite a stir in the letter that Pier Luigi Celli, director of private Luiss University, wrote to his son graduate publicly calling on it to get out of this country. It was a heartfelt appeal. " This is a country where, if you're lucky, you'll start earning a tenth of all racks, a hundredth of a tissue or a tronista, maybe a little more than a thousandth of a large asset manager that has misadventures and failures ... do not ever pay for this, his heart is suffering more than ever, my advice is that you, your studies finished, take the road from abroad. Choose where to go have a value loyalty, respect, recognition of merit and results ... Listen to me, this is a country that does not deserve you ... "
Harsh words but infused with the anger of those who feel compelled publicly to confess the worst defeats, a parent. A whole year has passed. One year during which the unemployment rate rose and the anger of young people has been fed to the source of public spending cuts, disavowal of collective bargaining agreements, reform university. Up to result in violence (like those in Rome last December 14), but also in large peaceful demonstrations (such as, in Rome, last December 22). In the end the situation denounced by Celli has not changed one iota, and who, adult, still has memory of what were their hopes in youth can not fail to note that twenty years have now is anything but a fortune. Unless you call Barbara Palombelli. The journalist, writer and columnist, owner patinatissima on Vanity Fair's book "Scratch & petting, decided at the beginning of the year to paraphrase the letter Celli, but in his own way. Titrate the outburst "We were worse than us, dear young people, "begins with" Ugh, young people. Complains that endless, "argues with the most reactionary 'in our times," notes that "families, even those less well off, you bleed" to travel the world to the children and concludes with "we should feel sorry or compassion? Never did. "Now, let's not stress that the sacrifice to study, travel by hitchhiking, the token to make calls and sharing with others in the room can hardly have belonged to whom, says Wikipedia, in 25 years had been employed on a temporary indeterminate in the drafting of the European Championship Mario Pirani. The fifties now remember well the difficulties of their youth, the race for the permanent position, the grueling competitions, the lack of access to educational experiences such as Erasmus. But also remember the feeling that there was still a future to be achieved, a job, a house, a family. The safety of a place in society. And this is precisely what is lacking in the youth of today, "complains infinite." The right to have a future. And to have him here.
