After months of silence, Mr. Bertoldo sent us this interesting letter which I gladly publish.
Chronicles of a war that has never broken out ......
Sometimes being too pessimistic, we run the risk of becoming even a little 'short-sighted.
And sometimes it happens to read titles you alarmed and worried, but then realizing that they are pictures of a car a little 'bad that develops images of fantasy.
The day before yesterday the title:
Oleander grows in the neighborhood deterioration
And one imagines dirt, disorder, negligence, dark at night, in short, is concerned to understand what has happened in a neighborhood that is in his head a nice area, away from vehicular traffic, very leafy, made of large blocks of flats and houses in condominium so many have decided to go live.
In addition to the headline, a photo of a pile of twigs that confirms the alarm cry of the headline ....
Then go to see and think, but who said the war in that district there will indeed be passed
The branches were those of a tree felled by the storm a few days before, but had already been taken away before making the headline and the road perfectly clean in the days before the article but if you find that's not enough to see a team of City that is performing a meticulous cleaning of green areas that characterize the degree Oleander District ......
Oh well ...... you say, it can happen .... maybe if you are more informed in the district would have won because those who went there for sure, having to buy a house, he thought it was better to go elsewhere to buy ... but the statements of war, you know, scare ....
Ok, you say, the war is over ... but now you open the newspaper and you get scared again struck by the headline:
San Gavino, in addition to the degradation vandals .....
Damn them to hell these gypsies! We have damaged the place dearest to us! The ancient Roman column, including but not limited to the trachyte of the basement ...... damn, thank goodness that they have plucked three Gypsy (note the growing feeling of racism growing up in all those who read the headline ...) damn it! It is not over: there would be all over San Gavino that, besides the vandals (first of all Gypsies) undergoes degradation ........
Now it's WAR! DEGRADATION, damn it everywhere .......
Then again we are concerned with some friends and we go immediately to see what they have combined these gypsies (shame on them if we find them! ....) But when we come to a grind column we find the slightest trace of this great act of vandalism ( damage to archaeological heritage ...) is not seen nothing: there is another column? Bho! We turn in cumbessias and everything is in order, the lawn, flower beds, in short, the church .... but what happened to make another declaration of war? And what must have thought those who live far away and who love our Church? .....
Meanwhile passes a Roma couple watching us curiously, perhaps they too wanted to check ...
We're going to take a good coffee so much the war is already over, indeed, is not even started ..... have to tell .......
Berthold
