Comment on America’s Cup World Series in Naples – final countdown by Larry Ray

As always your commentary is greatly appreciated, and adds a wider dimension one does not readily get in Il Mattino and la Republica. Do I not remember a period of time in the past when via Caracciolo was closed to traffic from piazza Vittoria down to around the tennis club to allow just what Magistris is proposing?
Best regards from Mississippi,

Comment on Waste crisis: Naples snubbed by Northern League by Antonio Farinaccio

As long Naple is part of italy it will never solve its problems, the state is absent it is not with the peaple. I admire de Magistri and i wish him well
unfortunatli Berlusconi the (clown) and Monti (tecnitian, uncriative) will
be of no help to him.
I onli hope that a new awarenes of how low the Campania region has
sunk the peaple will put matter in to thear hands and find a solution.

Comment on Book review – “Terroni: All that was done to ensure that the Italians of the south would become ‘meridionali’ (southerners)” by Pino Aprile by Antonio Farinaccio

I want to be militant. I have suggested the acquisition of the book by two
Montreal english language universitys, Concordia and Tomas D’arcy
Mc Gee, i’m wating for results. In Quebec alone three hundred thousand
Italian origin.
I have read Terroni by Pino Aprile two two years ago in italian on my last
trip to Italy it has opened a consciousness even today we southern Italians consume products from “Padania” not only in Italy but even us Italian Canadian and Italian American We most be more vigilant of what we consume and buy product from the south part of the contry.

I suggest reading Nicola Zitara L’invenzione del mezzogiorno unfortunatli
only in italian the details are hard to digest i strongly recommend it.

Comment on Book review – “Terroni: All that was done to ensure that the Italians of the south would become ‘meridionali’ (southerners)” by Pino Aprile by Saverio Stranges

This book helps understand the underlying historical reasons for the current economic “gap” between Northern and Southern Italy.

I would like to say that long time ago I have decided to make a commitment in my personal and professional life, by challenging the negative stereotypes and prejudice easily and typically associated with Southern Italy and my home town…(Portici, Napoli), without grasping the deep roots of what we see on the surface today.

As people should be aware, until the so-called “unification” of Italy or invasion of Southern Italy by Cavour and his troupes from Piedmont region (with support of England, actually…) in 1860s, the situation was quite different, if not just the opposite, with the Southern part of the country being the richest, and Naples being among the three most populated cities in Europe and behind only Paris and London on many counts. There is plenty of unbiased historical documentation for that.

But, as people are aware, history is written by the winning party and plenty of misleading information has been passed over the years about this issue.

Perhaps, after reading it, people could be persuaded that also good things and good human beings can originate from Napoli and Southern Italy…, besides pizza, Sorrento, mafia, and waste.…

Also, readers will realise why many people like me, who have been forced in a sense to leave Southern Italy to pursue their own dreams, are still so passionate about their roots.

On many counts, Southern Italians share similar feelings of African Americans, and several other populations discriminated in the human history.

Enjoy the reading,
Saverio Stranges
