Ask Italian students what awaits them on the far side of their degrees and they shrug. Ask their parents when or how Italy will turn the corner and you get the same expression of bafflement. You hear more than you did 10 or even five years ago about migrations to Britain, to the United States. You hear less faith in tomorrow. And it’s not all Silvio Berlusconi’s doing. His recent criminal conviction for tax fraud, along with a related prohibition from holding public office for several years, hasn’t produced the sense of release and new beginnings that you might expect. It has instead forced Italians to recognize that while he squandered time, made matters worse and was a cartoonish, buffoonish distraction, the country’s bedrock demons — excessive regulations and a rococo bureaucracy that stifle enterprise; a closed system of favoritism that foils initiative; corruption and the cynicism it breeds — transcend him. nytimes/2013/10/27/opinion/sunday/bruni-italy-breaks-your-heart.html?_r=0 Renzi o non Renzi cè gente che ha permesso che succedesse tutto questo. E probabilmente vivono anche in casa tua e in casa mia. Forse bisogna allontanarsi per un po da questo paese inutile ma bello.
