Today is the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy. All patriots, all Italians. But the Patriots, the Italian ones? The Brothers of Italy, which takes pride in the chest of the tricolor cockade, in fact, behind their sisters in Italy that many in history have run the same risks - if not more - are down, first on the battlefield and then Square to demonstrate for the rights of his country and ensure that these countries recognize their equal rights with men.
We Italians, 150 years together, but also with women. In the Italian who had joined some time ago, we were excluded from voting and, until 1919, also from state employment and to pursue professions which require a public responsibility. They tried to exclude us from the nerve center, then when the nerve center there are also thanks to the Italian women.
Angels of the hearth, but the fire inside to go down alongside his men if they should fight. And to make a united Italy, women have fought, from north to south, arming and acting as propaganda intellectual - yes, because even in 1861 there were intellectual women - because they believed, as men, the concept of Italy , the idea of \u200b\u200ba united people on a land unit.
Only now trying to recover, recognizing that women have made the unification of Italy together with men, there are figures that have had important roles, which were sacrificed without hesitation, not to betray his companions and the hope of victory. Not surprising to learn that many women wore men's clothes to be more free to move between the barbarian in the woods where they had hidden the patriots in the countryside where they meet to organize.
Who are the women of the Unification of Italy? If we remember the women of 1861, probably the first that comes to mind is the one who was at the side of the 'hero of two worlds, "Anita Garibaldi. But we do not doubt that there were different types of heroines who can be identified in the Italian Risorgimento: the female fatale as the Countess of Castiglione, or the mother who sacrifices herself as Adelaide Cairoli, but also women - during the resistance - were running at breakneck speed, walk or bike hiding messages in corsets.
Already in 1848 women on the barricades go up, they face death squads and, in silence, with tenacity, pick up the pieces of those heroes who then history books show us how solitary entity. But in real life, in the real world that made Italy, women were not the partner, the spy, the courtesan, always at the service of someone.
Yet there have never come as center stage in moments of rebellion and courage. The struggles of Italian women from the drive until closer to modernity, women have always had to fight - either alone or with men - but to resign themselves to be relegated to the oblivion of history. As if the chroniclers had a look at programmed to skip when he met a female Fgura.
Yet we were there, we have always been. So no surprise when once again in the '60s and '70s, we challenged flags and slogans, and we took to the streets. Italy has also joined with Marianna De Crescenzo, who in 1860 welcomed Garibaldi in Naples at the head of two hundred armed with Saints Carolina Bevilacqua, who organizes and directs a field hospital following the army in Piedmont, thanks to Elizabeth Michiel Justinian and Teresa Perissinotto Manin in Venice coordinate equipping volunteers who are resisting the Austrians; thanks to Clara Maffei, a friend of Verdi and Manzoni.
Women of modernity can not be outdone. The sisters of Italy today is not a single word is spent on girls who in 1848 founded their first Italian newspapers naming the Italian woman in Rome, The Forum of Women in Palermo, the Italian club of women in Venice. As today is not written a single line about the girls that travel miles every day to realize a dream, to work, to express their idea of \u200b\u200bemancipation, and those shortcuts are more comfortable camping on the front pages of newspapers.
If Anita Maria de Jesus Ribeiro da Silva in Garibaldi, Adelaide Cairoli, Marianna De Crescenzo, but Margaret Fuller, the American arrived in Italy to see how a people revolted, Sara Levi Nathan said "the banker of the revolution" and Rosalie Montmasson the only woman of Thousands of Garibaldi, where today there are those women saw as the public, they would not hesitate to call for an uprising.
But even today women say no! Italy is a feminine given name Italy is a woman! Yes, because when we believe that there are neither right nor opportunity, no hope for us, we must remember that Italy is a feminine noun. Although the various etymologies want to trace the name from the ancient belief that language as seen in the "land of bulls", to us no matter where it comes from but where you got this name.
And it's come down to us through battles, blood, more right and wrong, honest or not. Italy is also the name that many patriots gave to the daughters to emphasize the link with their homeland, but also feminine beauty inherent in it. Italy is fertile ground as the woman because a woman's body.
E 'woman because, as trodden, is not prepared to sit silent. Italy is a woman firmly on his feet immersed in the sea, with winds mixed the scavenger coasts and mountains. E 'woman, who smiles Italy for the first sunshine of spring, but resists with gritted teeth in the winter chill. Italy is a woman used to be, solid in body and head.
Italy is a woman and as such should be treated: with honesty and kindness. In its 150th birthday gave Italy, this beautiful woman, the promise that we will always protect those who want to relegate into oblivion of history.
