"The government led by Silvio Berlusconi today approved by Council Ministers extraordinary constitutional bill to reform the law that, in essence, limit the power of prosecutors and researcher reduce the independence and autonomy of the judiciary. "
News published by the newspaper El Pais, March 10 2011.
When Berlusconi was on a visit to Il Giornale not up to the third floor. The newspaper was hers but that plant was the only sovereign Indro Montanelli. Since she ran the newspaper in its sole discretion, without accepting any kind of interference by the successful businessman. This unwritten rule was respected scrupulously Il Cavaliere since 1979, as was done with most shareholding in the post until 1994, when he asked the director to change the terms of the pact. Montanelli Berlusconi asked that the newspaper should be at the service of his political ambitions.
;
; And Montanelli said NO.
Today, this reporter, he would be appalled if I were to publish the owner or if I could somehow know that Berlusconi has 20 years in power, ruling Italy with the most shameless manner never before seen in the democratic history of the continent.
Italian journalist and writer, one of the most important figures of twentieth-century journalism. Indro Montanelli was born in Fucecchio, 22 April 1909, within the family of the gentry.
studied law, literature and political science at the University of Florence and extended his studies in Paris. He made his debut in journalism in the newspaper Frontespizio in 1935 with a resounding and controversial article on Lord Byron and Catholicism. He later worked in Paris as a reporter for Paris-Soir, and New York in the United Press. Pro
in principle Benito Mussolini, joined the National Fascist Party (PNF) and fought in the campaign in Abyssinia (1935). He arrived in Spain during the Civil War (1937), and sent the newspaper Il Messaggero, and chronic, very critical of Italian intervention, earned him the wrath of power, to the extent that one party was expelled from the union and journalists. Forced into exile, returned to Italy in 1939 and began writing in Il Corriere della Sera, under the protection of its director, Aldo Borelli.
After the outbreak of World War II chronicles published from Finland, Norway, Albania and Greece. Met Hitler, but Churchill, De Gaulle and Pope Pius XII. He was arrested in 1943 by the fascists and sentenced to death by an article on relations with Mussolini and his mistress, Clara Petacci. Saved his life, the archbishop of Milan, Ildefonso Schuster, beatified by Pope John Paul II. After ten months in prison, escaped and took refuge in Switzerland. His prison experience inspired a beautiful novel, The General De la Rovere, pathetic character immortalized in film by Vittorio De Sica in a film by Roberto Rossellini.
After the war, he returned to Italy and Corriere, whose pages are forged his reputation as a teacher and professional guidance of Italian journalism. NATO endorsed the tirades launched constant against the Berlin Wall, Soviet expansionism, the real socialism and its most notorious perversions.
On June 2, 1977, on his way to the Milan headquarters of his newspaper, was attacked by two members of the Red Brigades, which severely wounded him with four shots in the legs. As soon as he recovered, he launched a campaign against terrorism. "They are wrong [the terrorists] if they think they can shut up." However, years later he attended an exhibition organized by the inmates of the prison in Milan, which involved his two assailants, who shook his hand and spared.
Il Giornale, caught in the middle of major technological changes of the press, not to exceed 100,000, had a painful financial life, surpassing in part thanks to a shareholder of Silvio Berlusconi in 1978. Montanelli was famously Controcorrente a daily gloss of only five lines that showed its strong critical sense, his sarcasm and sense of humor.
never wanted to act in politics. His belief in a free press any cortapisa clearly manifested in 1991 when he declined the appointment as a life senator who proposed the President of the Republic, Francesco Cossiga, who wrote: "Unfortunately, my belief in a model of completely independent journalist prevents me from accepting an offer so flattering. "
For the same reason, in January 1994, when Berlusconi was launched into the arena of politics, against the advice of Montanelli, it offered a new lesson in independence. Il Giornale chose to leave rather than submit to the dictates of the nascent Berlusconi's media empire.
then created another newspaper, La Voce (March 1994), which bitterly criticized the management of the first Berlusconi government and, above all, his concessions to the separatists Umberto Bossi of the Northern League.
La Voce was short-lived, Montanelli was forced to suspend publication in 1995, beset by financial difficulties.
With eighty-seven, returned to Corriere to write a daily column entitled "La stanza Montanelli", which responded to issues raised by readers. His latest impeachment
put it a few days before dying (Milan, 2001), in response to a historical question about Filippo Turati, leader and founder of the Socialist Party and the 1922 Bolshevik split: "I think the left such as political force, is quite degraded. But in return, flying a flag that sooner or later will find an army. "
addition to writing thousands of articles, reviews and reports, was a great promoter of Italian history and universal history books as the Rome (1957), History of Greece (1958), Encounter (1961), Garibaldi (1962), Dante and his century (1964) and Italy the centuries (1965). Among his works of fiction include the aforementioned General De la Rovere and dreams die at dawn, the latter inspired by the Hungarian revolt in 1956, both were made into films.
Your history books are ideal for not too interested in reading a history book (although I said that is not your typical history book, no less a history book.) Do not expect an academic text or boring, full of notes footnotes. Montanelli is at a level that any reader can understand from the first páginas.En this respect complies with the following lines:
"I have not found anything with this book (referring to the History of Rome). The work does not intend to 'revelations', or even give an original interpretation of the history of the City. All that has been explained and explained. I just hope I did a simple and friendly way, through a series of portraits light to the protagonists in a light most authentic, stripped of the ornaments to hide now. "
We must not forget that in his books there much of authorship itself and sometimes miss sources, but this is an affordable price in exchange for a story as fresh and alive.
be things of mine, but I seemed to recognize a nice similarity between their history books (by dismissing both data and accuracy, and discuss the history of another easiest way) and his ideal woman:
"Tall, skinny, dressed in black velvet, with a long, swan-white neck.'s blue eyes. The golden hair." infinitely sweet, airy, cheerful. Ah, if he found such a creature ...! Every night he would accompany to her room, undress, and would get in the bed covering roses. And run the brothel in search of a fat whore, uninhibited and vulgar ".
