PARALLEL LIVES
"The head of government is tarnished repeatedly during his career
crimes which, in the presence of an honest people, they would have deserved the condemnation
, shame and deprivation of all authority of government.
Because the people have tolerated and even applauded these crimes? A
partly moral insensitivity, some for cunning, one part per
interest and personal gain.
The majority was made naturally on its activities criminal
but preferred to give his vote to the strong rather than the right. Unfortunately
the Italian people, if you must choose between duty and advantage, while
knowing what would be his duty, always choose the self-interest.
So a mediocre man, coarse, vulgar eloquence but easy
effect, is a perfect example of his contemporaries. At a
honest people, would be at most the leader of a party
modest following, a slightly 'ridiculous
for his manners, his attitudes, his delusions of grandeur, offensive to good
sense of the people because of his style bombastic and shameless. In Italy
became the head of government. And it's hard to find a more complete
Italian example. Admirer of force, venal, corruptible and corrupt
Catholic without believing in God, conceited, vain, fake good-natured,
good father, but with many lovers, he uses those who despise
, surrounded himself with dishonest, of liars, the inept, of profiteering
; skilled mime, and should take effect on an audience vulgar,
but, like any mime, without its own character, you always imagine to be
the character meant to represent. "
