Matteotti (anatomy Of A Fascism)

Giacomo Matteotti - the opponent, the pacifist, the scholar, the administrator, the reformer, the visionary - spoke out, publicly and tirelessly, in his many writings and his very many speeches: a clear, truthful word, founded on facts, indisputable. A word that unmasks. For this reason he was killed. I denounce the political maneuver by which the most radical subversion has been passed off as its exact opposite, namely as the guarantee of order. I denounce the systematic use of force, the silencing of dissenting voices. I denounce to Italy and the whole world that a monster called fascism grows more powerful every day precisely thanks to the silent assent of those who belittle it, legitimize it and do not fight it! They called him Tempesta. A man of hot blood. A hundred years later it is theatre, it is music, it is the words of Stefano Massini, the voice of Ottavia Piccolo, the sounds of I Solisti dell’Orchestra Multietnica di Arezzo that take on the task of speaking.
