Vain, angry and a fan of Stalin. Controritratto del "mito" Pertini
by


Ah, Sandro Pertini, the president of the republic most loved by Italians. The people's president, of children, the cartoon with the pipe, the partisan president who abandons the protocol. The Impertinent. The Pure. Forty years after his election to the Quirinale, in a celebratory deluge, A hagiographic film about him will be released tomorrow at the cinema. We would like to integrate the holy card by telling the story of the other Pertini.
Upon Stalin's death in 1953, comrade Pertini, former pro-Soviet director of Avanti! and at the time the leader of the socialist group celebrated the dictator in Parliament. Here's what he said in Avanti!: «Comrade Stalin ended his day well, even if too early for us and for the fate of the world. His last word was peace. (…) One is amazed by the size of this figure… Men of every creed, friends and adversaries, must today recognize the immense stature of Joseph Stalin. He is a giant of history and his memory will never fade.". That praise, never retracted by Pertini, not even after all Stalin's crimes became known, it does not honor a fighter for freedom and the rights of peoples.

Few traces for those political jackals (and not), ready to ride the wave, sometimes drama, to gather some consensus or share points. Perhaps, the answer lies entirely in these whistles that accompanied the entry into the pavilions of the Genoa Fair of some political exponents who in recent years - according to them – they embodied the left, to be precise.

Fascist bridges works of art resistant to everythingExamples of engineering and architecture that not even Anti-Fascism throws down

Of Angela Di Pietro
When He was there, not only did the trains arrive on time, but the bridges never came down and even today they resist everything, also two point zero for Anti-Fascism, all carelessness, to the absence of maintenance. For the bridges built in Italy during the twenty years of fascism, designed by eminent professionals of the time, the toponym “littorio” was frequently used, or “of the lictor”. The war conflict ended and the Republic was established, In the 1946, the viaducts lost the name "Littoria" and changed names (don't do it). Everyone. They were well made, they were resistant, but they were destined to oblivion because they were linked to the figure of the Duce.
One of the most important is without a doubt the littorio bridge in Venice, today known as the “Freedom Bridge”. The Brescia engineer Eugenio Giuseppe Miozzi was in charge of the design work, example of honesty and ability, who doesn't even have a registered street because men like him are considered "to be forgotten", like Mussolini. The most important work entrusted to him was that of the littorio bridge (today Liberty Bridge) which connects Venice with the mainland by car. A highway on water. The construction, long 22 meters, it was made of reinforced concrete and stone, from “Ferrobeton” with great rapidity, alone 18 months.
