Tonight, the meeting of Tessera Favaro on the dial, and I thought I heard what the policy is important in our lives.
not rhetoric. It is not exaggeration.
Many years ago - it was 1984 - on a warm June evening, a gentleman, minutes and dry, left, to all those who were in the square and the many who they had reviewed in the following days, in newspapers and on television, and yet, in years to come, in the many documentaries that have played and narrated that time, a message: "politics is something that is worth spending one's life ".
rhetoric seems today to say that. Seems exaggerated, almost fake, mundane media today say that. Yet, that night - and none of us, in their twenties, who were in that square could really imagine that this was an ideal test - returning to Venice, we wonder about the meaning of those words.
Words spoken by a man in his sixties, we had always appeared dry, almost arid speech. A little 'bureaucrat in appearance; certainly a party official.
For some reason I remember now that time, which marked my biography and history of our beloved country and difficult?
But no - I understand - I remember now why I felt among the many people who crowded into the small council chamber of City Hall Favaro, a collective feeling genuine and not trivial.
I heard that politics is collective power of many is dedicated to the common good is the ability to reason about the choices of this looking to the future, it is convenient and organized way of knowing that the institutions we are citizens, for better or for worse .
'm not naive. And I repeat: this is not trite rhetoric.
A Favaro, tonight, we have reason to procedures, zoning variations, of use. Things technical and dry - would say more. Yet in the eyes of the listener and the speaker, but few or boredom or "profession". It was passion and interest in our town and city life.
If I think about what should and must be new and good policy, I think about this today. E 'participation, and social control, is responsible for information, it is pragmatic sense of living in society. And 'making community inside and outside of public institutions (places re-appropriated, not delegates, revived). If I think something should
and must be new and good policy, tonight I think that square in Padua in 1984, and the man who has marked my life and the lives of many people like me.
