The mononuclear family. But what does it mean? Serious sociologists explain, economists, statisticians and anthropologists which stands for family with only one element. But you're stupid? The typical family consisted of at least four elements, then it was a couple, now only one. It's like saying: there were three four musketeers but I only remember two: d'Artagnan... Or there is the tiraemolla family for all tastes: enlarged, elongated, transverse, crossed, crossed, with pellets, ecc. Two people together are family, even if they are there for just one day or just one sex. A man and a dog are a family? Of course, if it is already a family composed of a single person. Once upon a time they were called bachelors, unmarried, celibates, girls, vacation, now they have a family on their own. I, being a misanthrope, am a group alone?
In the leading city of Europe – the Fuhrer city – Berlin, mononuclear families have surpassed traditional ones and unions of all types. From union to unity, from race to individual. Racism is impossible today because everyone is a different race. The individualism of the romantics degenerates into a mass epidemic. But we're not joking either, a third of Italians live in a single-family household. The metropolises, Montale said presciently half a century ago, they are crowded with millions of hermits. The mononuclear family evokes the mononucleosis, the kissing disease: the trouble is that we kiss ourselves too much and we catch the disease. If we adored each other less, and in any case not above all else. Unbearable at times, suffocating in some cases, but how beautiful she was, warm and vociferous, the family we knew in our personal prehistory…
