"Here I am here, so I'm Pippi Longstocking, I really think that someone like me there was never .... " Happy Birthday Pippi nice! Forty years ago, state television broadcast for the first time in 21 long episodes, a television series starring a strange (strange is the right word!), Daughter of the uses and customs a bit '... here, a little' ... hard to find the right word. Then we say: the uses and customs indefinable. Pippi Longstocking in fact, a lively girl of ten years or so, came from the pen of Swedish author Astrid Lindgren died over ninety in 2002 after winning the Nobel prizes and dozens of "alternative" in 1994, after being named in the '97 'character Swedish Year "and being" courted "(from the professional point of view), by Hayao Miyazaki for a cartoon series to be devoted to their Pippi. To be clear, Miyazaki was one of the architects of the success of the television cartoon "Heidi" .
lets not get infected by confusion calzelunghiana however, and proceed in order. The Lindgren was a good writer for children, author of over a hundred works, including books of adventure, fantasy, yellow and works for film and television. His works have been translated into over fifty languages \u200b\u200b(in the case of "Pippi" - original title: "Pippi Langstrump" - there are also translations into Macedonian - "Pipi dolgiot Carapita" - and Arabic - "Jinan fi bayt ya Layte "- arrived in Italy in 1958 but with a version for Vallecchi). Childhood enough happy Lindgren (sea and countryside), has been a great source of inspiration for many of his novels. Among these, forty - nearly fifty years old - will also remember "Holiday Isle of the Gulls" aired as a TV show episodes from the state television in years in which Year Zero and Big Brother were two nightmares of Edgar Allan Poe. At the last television series appeared (and this writer was a real "first time") a huge Saint Bernard named batsman. Ever seen a dog so before then! "Holiday Isle of the Gulls' was published by Lindgren in 1964, a year after" Emil ", one of his most famous novels, and well after twenty years "Pippi Longstocking" that is the first job of the writer Vimmerby, a novel born in 1945 to be exact and particular circumstances. First as the story of a mother (Astrid fact), to his daughter (the little Karin), and then three years later - due to a fall on ice and a long stay in bed the author - as the work of stenographers and then "translated" into a real manuscript.
But that of Pippi, the girl a little 'magic' and forced the daughter of Captain Longstocking, is a "saga" that would have fascinated children of all generations and generations not only of "naive" (and well framed, especially in far-away Sweden), of the forties and fifties. Indeed, as it is with his crazy ways of doing things (and perhaps a bit of an anarchist 'Hobbit - headline the "Century of Italy on March 6, 2009), Pippi is actually a perfect character for thirty years sixties-seventies -eighties (the TV version is set in the sixties in fact). Colorful, a little 'punk (green socks, an orange and a pair of long boots blacks), and often prey to "Delusions" of non-sense. Not very interested in the fate of others (at least for her, no politics!), Pippi is "healthy" ignorant, selfish and unpredictable. One day even invent a disease, the "spunk" or something like that, because (he said), he ate a soup with shoe polish ... but Pippi has many advantages. It's good, because it administers a trunk full of gold, like her (his hair, unforgettable, are "Napoleon hat", with two long tails straight sides and orange), and is convinced an animal given living (and only) in the company of two animals: a white horse shot blacks who she calls "Uncle" and a monkey she named a bit 'strange, "Mr Nilsson." Periodically, the company will add a mouse quite pleasing. Pippi is also an environmentalist, however, convinced, as his dwelling-hut (another strange name: "villa Villacolle") is a large house in the green island of Gotland, a very colorful house, which was free admission his only two boyfriends brothers Tommy and Annika .
But the strangeness of Pippi are in fact even those Family Longstocking. First, the full name in Swedish Pippi is not (too simple), but: Pippillotta Viktualia Rullgardina Krusmynta Efraimsdotter Langstrump, a name that are the envy of our ... Toto's mother died and his father - that she will leave with the two brothers - is the sea captain Ephraim Longstocking, a prisoner of two pirates (Blood-foil and Messer Jocket), in the South Seas, namely the imaginary island of Taka Tuka; pirates who crave the hidden treasure of re-captain. Will our "heroes"-children "? Well ... Needless to "reveal" the plots of a TV series since 1970 (in 1969 Sweden) has been repeated dozens of times not? Probably around Italy, there are those who know the lines by heart all of Pippi ... Over time, then, state television was also added to the TV commercial, those in charge, cassettes and more recently, DVDs: a nearly all-Pippi-minute-per-minute short. Surfing on Wikipedia you can look (if anyone is interested), and international TV channels (you get to Vietnam!) On which the TV series has been passed. If a record is not missing much ... Thanks for surfing the internet you may also have reports of Inger Nilsson (coincidentally the same name Pippi's monkey), the now fifty year old actress who played the girl all-pepper in 1969. Fans of the TV time-to-remember, however, it was already seen, several years ago, for "My Soul" program on the seventies led by Fabio Fazio and then on Friday night in the revival conducted by Carlo Conti. The good and beautiful Inger has continued to have the success it deserved. He worked a bit 'here and a little' there and it seems that, as a profession, has also been the secretary at a hospital in Stockholm .

If we wanted we could fall into the easy irony concluded that, sooner or later, a dissolute that would happen - or a "good" demon - as Pippi was going to end up in hospital ... but obviously it's just a joke because our Pippi resembles more than any of Astrid Lindgren other woman. Where, then, in 1997 the writer was named Person of the Year, came up with this statement: "I do not understand how we can appoint person of the year ... we had better not say it too loud, otherwise I think everybody in Sweden are like me. " The author of "Brothers Lionheart" in a sense he was right on the mark ... For so many years in fact (and perhaps fino ai giorni nostri), Pippi-Astrid sarà il cuoricino della “nostra Svezia”, di quel piccolo mondo (moderno) che, al di là del mare e dei monti, sarà la casa di tutti i bambini italiani negli anni Settanta .
