Deputy has it screened: is sold out It will be sold out in Bologna for the screening of “RedLand, Istrian red”. Bignami: “I wanted to organize it to honor hundreds of innocent and brutally murdered people from Emilia and Romagna.
A movie “uncomfortable”, not much advertised and a little’ snubbed by certain leftists. “Redland, Istrian red” talks about the Italy of yesterday and (involuntarily) even today's. Remember the convulsive days of September 1943, the armistice, the chaos, the war, the center, Tito's partisans. And in some way it also brings out the very local habit of relegating those dramatic moments to second-class memory.
Violence that has been difficult for a long time, if not impossible to speak. The “anti-Italian fury” of the Tito partisans, spitting with his left hand he welcomed the Dalmatian refugees upon their arrival in Italy, the horrible feeling of feeling rejected in Pula as well as in Bologna. All hidden under the carpet.
It had already happened in the past: this is the same treatment reserved for Giampaolo Pansa's books, a “the Secret of Italy” and which now repeats itself again “Redland”. Galeazzo Bignami, Emilian deputy of Forza Italia, a “censorship” against the “film that highlights the crimes and misdeeds of the red resistance” he says he lived it in Emilia Romagna at work “of the left and the grandchildren of the PCI”. “This is a real case of political and cultural silence”, explains the MP to Giornale.it. A curtain that Forza Italia has decided to cast “tear apart” organizing the screening of the film on Thursday evening at the Fossolo cinema in Bologna.
The initiative was organized in collaboration with the National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia and Bignami will participate in the debate, Mario Segnan (provincial president of the ANVGD Association), the Fi councilor Marco Lisei and the director Maximiliano Hermando Bruno.
“I felt it was my duty to organize this screening – explains the blue deputy – also to honor the memory of the hundreds of innocent people from Emilia and Romagna brutally murdered by communist partisans”. The Govoni brothers are on the list, Countess Manzoni, the Catholic trade unionist Fanin, Don Umberto Pessina, fourteen-year-old Rolando Rivi: “These are just some of the victims we should solemnly remember – continues Bignami – and who instead often receive the silence of the municipal administrations still led by the grandchildren of the PCI and who are ashamed to organize or even just participate in commemorations to remember these Fallen”.
For the screening of the film further 400 people have already confirmed their presence (tickets will be sold on site). We are quickly approaching a full house for a film – concludes Bignami – That “represents a contribution of reality and truth that helps to understand what happened in those tragic days in our national history”.
