Garibaldi red in the streets of Barga

Garibaldi red in the streets of Barga

  On Sunday 26th August during a rally in Venice, the leader of the Lega Nord, Umberto Bossi declared that having Rome as the capital of Italy was an error made by Savoia and Garibaldi. He went on to call Giuseppe Garibaldi a cretin. Almost two months after this event, here in Barga came the reply to Bossi's accusations with a Garibaldi festa which filled the city with children, a 30 metre flag paraded through the streets and of course music and speeches 

Those invited to the event included Salvatore Orlando, president of the KME group, The Prefetto of Brescia, Paolo Tronca, General Maurizio Fioravanti, Comandante della Brigate Folgore

Barga was one of the first cities in Italy to erect a statue to Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807-1882) (article here)The foremost military figure and popular hero of the age of Italian unification known as the Risorgimento with Cavour and Mazzini he is deemed one of the makers of Modern Italy.

Bossi ha poi spiegato che in tutto il mondo «le rivolte fiscali hanno portato alla nascita degli Stati moderni». Poi ha fatto citazioni storiche dicendo che la gente del Nord ha creduto «stupidamente ai Cavour e ai Garibaldi, tutti stronzi. Siamo qui - ha sottolineato - per far nascere quello Stato che doveva nascere con un patto tra Venezia e la classe politica milanese. Oggi tocca a noi fare la Padania che non fu fatta allora. Il destino ci dà questa possibilità e bisogna andare fino in fondo. Noi non ce ne andremo fin quando avremo raggiunto i nostri Parlamenti la nostra libertà, non prima». source Corriere della Sera

  • Viviano : Bill Sheets and I reached a stunning conclusion this evening: At approximately $800 billion, the U.S. financial bail-out is equal to the cost of 250 glasses of wine at Aristdemo's Caffe for every man, woman and child on Earth. Bill agreed with me that Marino will need to hire at least one more barista to handle the crowd. We arrived at these figures over a glass of wine, needless to say. But I checked them on my calculator when I got home, and they add up.

  • W. Shakespeare : Lear? Not at all! Those words are lifted from Macbeth's soliloquy:"....L ife's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."
  • Quentin Compson : Yes, Ma'am. It would be King Lear I believe, an allusion to the fool (and to Lear himself). But there is a more recent connection between Yokapatawpha and the Coldfields with a Biblical reference -- Absalom -- rather than the Shakespearean one to which you allude.
  • poetry : Miss Coldfield, considered poetess laureate of Yoknapatawpha County, may simply be quoting Shakespeare, I do believe.
  • Quentin Compson : Rosa: Stay in your own novel, please. You have no business in The Sound and the Fury, although I appear in both.
  • Quentin Compson : Doggy, May I refer you to three sources on the Action-Theory dialectic? Albert Camus: "To do is to be." Jean-Paul Sartre: "To be is to do." Francis Albert Sinatra; "Do be do be doo." That should answer your question.
