"I give you the America," said the fellow. Yes, but which America? Elio Vittorini's America maybe? America's Edgar Allan Poe, William Faulkner and John Fante? The authors translated the Sicilian from Syracuse to start the Thirties? O 's "America" \u200b\u200bthat same Vittorini inserted in the note anthology American exit (Bompiani), and that he could publish only in 1942, however, notes and incomplete work of the curator? Yes, here we want this America again, we would like them all. The America that can be discovered by intellectuals raised on bread and Italian, and ran along the edge of a government that an attempt at self-sufficient even in letters, in fact you will not. The America that appeared in the fantasies of dreamers on both sides of the Mediterranean almost like the "Desert of the Tartars" in the eyes of Captain Drogo. Menacing and mysterious at the same time. A living myth, a realm of freedom indecipherable, "homeland" of the modern and the fantastic elected together.

Vittorini, Pavese such as those authors who have contributed to the fact that Italy became a bit 'more "American", he bequeathed an invaluable wealth of charm and passion to grow, and he thus "incurably" Sicilian anarchist in spirit, he felt the call of a culture (and language), it was impossible to "own" or "narrow", and more could be "exported" as a valuable asset. Now, can not blame him. On 12 February this year marked the forty-fifth anniversary of the death of Vittorini, a man who, like many of his generation - the two authors include some different as Longanesi and Calvin - had to deal with the century of ideologies, and steering a middle course between "faiths" different, I could never fall in love with himself who, at that time, maneuvering the levers of power. Now, we can say that it was anything but easy .

was not easy for him as for those who believed that the culture possessed - precisely because culture - its own degree of autonomy from politics, was not easy for those who believed that culture was revolutionary "whatever" was not easy with those who paid off - right or that was left - believed to hold the destinies of the world in his hands. It was Mussolini (or a "simple" Mussolini) or Togliatti. The result, a "bocce ferme 'was almost identical for all occasions. The mockery and ridicule. They are in the minds of all the provocations of Togliatti (character, however, now almost disappeared from the memories of a time that was ") with which the" best "leave of Vittorini in 1951 left the Communist Party in controversy with its leader: "he's ghiuto Vittorini, and just left us!" .

  Se di un Togliatti, soprattutto di quello che poteva rappresentare a quel tempo, oggi non avremmo francamente alcun bisogno, di Vittorini invece, «in questi tempi di bipolarismo coatto», per usare le parole di Roberto Alfatti Appetiti, ( Secolo , 11 luglio 2007), «ce ne sarebbe un gran bisogno, anche per evitare di sobbalzare ad ogni starnuto della politica…». Piaccia o no, l’Elio di Siracusa è stato quel che si dice un termometro del contesto culturale italiano, a volte perfino un metronomo per averne segnato “tempi” e modi”; ma se oggi ha senso parlare di una “cultura politica” – qualunque essa sia – which remains far from the master, who does not want to ingratiate themselves with the power, nor by the stroke right, the model, one of the models, which can not be his way of life .

Vittorini Apparently the story is that of "any" Sicilian who decides to go north in search of new perspectives. Initially working as an accountant in a construction company in Friuli Venezia Giulia, then at the dawn of the Thirty, he moved to Florence - a beacon for those who desire to pursue a career intellectual - where does a proofreader at la “Nazione ”. Studia, legge, frequenta le “Giubbe rosse” e collabora ai periodici di Regime. Nel ’29 collabora a “Solaria” piccola ma importante rivista toscana che guarda con attenzione al romanzo europeo ed extraeuropeo e molto meno a quanto accade in Italia. i primi romanzi li pubblica lì. La sua gavetta è questa… Già nel 1934, a causa di un’intossicazione da piombo, cambia mestiere e decide di vivere solo con le traduzioni dall’inglese e l’attività di consulente editoriale .

  From this moment until his death (1966) is not bored much. Between high and low his detachment from fascism is dated 1936. Can not frame it so far among those who believe that the scheme is working well for the "absolute" for him, anarchist and revolutionary in the blood, it is preferable to complicated and challenging the definition of "fascist left." During the English Civil War on Bargello writes that the Italian fascists is good for Republicans to support these anti-Franco. It is not a joke recently. On the other hand, and a bit ', his speeches are not in line with the thesis fascist "orthodox", and in an environment che di sereno non ha molto, se ne accorge chi conta; lui però anticipa tutti e – da uomo libero - riconsegna la tessera fascista. È il primo strappo da qualcosa dal quale, in definitiva non crede fino in fondo (le sue parole verso i ragazzi di Salò, saranno, in seguito, durissime). A parte il polemico Conversazione in Sicilia del 1941 (apparso a puntate sul “Letteratura” nel ’39) nel suo Uomini e no , del ’45 (primo esperimento neorealista), la condanna del fascismo non si riduce a solo un “affare” di politica .

  never tires. In '39 he was in Milan to lead the series "The Crown" by Simon and Schuster, then approaches to the underground Communist Party, joined the Resistance, directs the Milan edition of ' Unit and founded one of the most popular magazines of the postwar period: " The Polytechnic. Standard-bearer of the optimistic climate and natural home of the intellectual who wants to combat the suffering and not just comforting appeal. Emblematic of experience but just two years. Soon he consumes the second pull "political" of the anarchist Vittorini, this time by Mario Alicia and Togliatti. The cause? Simple: in years in which the victory "Definitive" seems more in reach, the Communists just appreciate what does not concern them (the water to the mill of the other) and just appreciate the variety of the themes of "Politecnico". Magazine "beautiful" beautiful inside and out. Vittorini is one of those who do not like playing the "pipe for the revolution" (not in his style and his intentions) and writes with frankness that the writer need not feel bound exclusively to the policy requirements. Certain result, again, is divorce .

Increasingly convinced of the power of culture, directs, since 1951, a series of books by Einaudi ("Tokens"), discovering, among others, Beppe Fenoglio. Having founded and directed by Calvin "The Dummy," attentive to the implications in the industrial field, driving in the sixties another prestigious book series "The Medusa" to Mondadori.

died just 58 years, far too early for someone like him. And for those of us .

Italo ... Thirty years after the Cuban

No, we'll never know. We will not know if "The Baron in the Trees" the most beautiful novel by Italo Calvino would go to a genius Friedrich Nietzsche, the father of the rebels of the twentieth century. But read what he wrote Geno Pampaloni, collaborator before Adriano Olivetti then Indro Montanelli, the character of "right" of the story of Cosimo Piovasco, the protagonist of the novel Calvin decides to live forever in the trees, the answer would be positive ... probably ... "The Baron in the Trees" book of 1957 is a book of "right" (sic), of those in which we celebrate the "nature" and, most importantly, it enhances the "instincts", a 'transaction' che tanto sarebbe piaciuta al filologo-filosofo tedesco e insieme a lui agli irriducibili d’ogni età, pronti a scegliere la via stretta della ribellione, pronti a vivere “contro” anche al costo del sacrificio di una singola esistenza. Ci piace così ricordare, anche in questo modo, Italo Calvino a 25 anni dalla scomparsa (19 settembre 1985), con la sua cifra anarco-libertaria – presumibilmente ereditata dal padre – che condusse lo scrittore sanremese nato a Cuba a un impegno civile che ha pochi eguali nella storia del secondo dopoguerra italiano, ma a coltivare parallelamente una serie di esperienze letterarie quasi senza limite: dalle fiabe popolari alle canzoni, fino agli interventi “tecnici “ e di stretta attualità .

  Balilla, poi partigiano delle “Brigate Garibaldi”, Calvino fu un intellettuale costretto a scelte difficili (di forma che divenne poi inevitabilmente sostanza), in anni nei quali sottrarsi alle seduzioni del “corso della storia” era di fatto impossibile. Nato nel 1923, dovette affrontare gli anni del fascismo e poi quelli delle altre ideologie in salsa italica. Il comunismo, in primo luogo, ovviamente. « La mia scelta del comunismo non fu affatto sostenuta da motivazioni ideologiche. Sentivo la necessità di partire da una “tabula rasa "and so I was called an anarchist ... at that time what mattered was action, and the Communists were the most active and organized force. " Who knows how many times we heard speeches of this type (Calvin is speaking, and who belongs to a certain "area" his words may have come up with what Julius Evola wrote about his "accession" to the Futurist and Dada movements, " Accession, however, of very short duration), speeches by writers or artists who believe engagé, thus, that they have the right keys for entry to the empyrean of intellectuals "that count," those to whom, perhaps, who knows, in tempi di egemonia i capi di governo avrebbero assegnato prima o poi ruoli di prestigio. O magari, forse, chissà, nella speranza di una carriera migliore .

  Era accaduto anche al grande amico di Italo Cavino, il timido Cesare Pavese (di 15 anni più anziano), di prendere una tessera del Pci per motivi tutt’altro che ideologici. Il più quieto scrittore langarolo avrebbe forse creduto di “bilanciare” l’assenza dalla guerra e dalla lotta partigiana e la sofferenza patita dai tanti amici in anni di guerra partigiana, con l’iscrizione (poco convinta) PCI with a strong and seductive quality of "broad" views. We also know how it would end up in that hotel "Roma" of Turin in late August ... Of course, the two friends had very different ideas about the events that led to the end of World War II. In addition to Nietzsche, Pavese (and Calvin did not like at all), showed an "interest" in particular - though long hidden - the Republic of Mussolini and the German ally (I have written several letters reminding Pavese and his short life), Calvin was one of the many draft dodgers during the RSI and was at that moment in history, from war to peace, who was born in him the desire to join the Communist Party .

that Calvin was a libertarian a few doubts. A libertarian who will acquire the fully ripe, "artistic" rather than "political" during the events partisan (on the other hand, from the "Republican" would be the same thing happened, but in the opposite direction, for many young people Salo). At the end of the war means that will be the future friend of Che Guevara to give materiality to his "moral anarchy" - what they need more of everything - the PCI will be, precisely, and the publishing house Einaudi, which will be Calvin manager, a source of ideas and progressive intellectuals have a shelter (needless to say), and with them the friendship of Elio Vittorini (with whom the '59 direct "Dummy"), Natalia Ginzburg and Norberto Bobbio. The "career as a communist" Calvin's continue with the work on "The Unit" and "Rebirth", where as in the correspondence - between him and Vittorini, for example - will be easy to find the words "freedom" and "liability" to combine time to time with the need for morality that Italy awaited the forties-fifties .

no point in pretending that there's always been the contrast between the realist Calvin (he was a rationalist son of a scientist and a researcher), the ' Unbeatable narrator of the fantastic and the inventor of unsettling textures for adults never grow up, still occurs in the Calvin tied to the Communist Party and one to which communism - communism of his day - was rather narrow; anarchy that he realizes that the party of "reference" Drowning in the status quo, non c’è più o forse non c’è mai stato. Allora? Allora il fantastico… come sarebbe avvenuto per molti, intellettuali e non, di pochi decenni dopo… il fantastico che si trasforma nel buen retiro, il fantastico per poter “dire la propria”, per sfuggire naturalmente ai “rigori” di un’insostenibile ufficialità sempre più ortodossa. Il viaggio in Urss di Calvino del 1951, spiace dirlo, somiglia ai tanti (troppi) viaggi in comitiva alla “Don Camillo in Russia”, una visita nei luoghi ove tutto è quasi “perfetto” (e di quel che non si dice non è opportuno parlare…); “perfetta” è soprattutto la vita quotidiana, l’educazione, il rispetto per le regole e quant’altro… Italo Calvino è uno dei più grandi scrittori che il nostro Paese possa vantare di aver avuto nella seconda parte del secolo trascorso. Ma le pagine militanti e gli eccessi di zelo “politico-morale” del sanremese (spiace dirlo: da questo punto di vista illiberali), messi a confronto alle sue capacità di architetto di avventure o di razionalissimo analista del “reale”, non reggono per nulla al mondo alle ragioni del tempo .

  Per le sue doti letterarie Calvino sarebbe stato un apprezzabilissimo writer from "Eighties" (perhaps the largest), had the "wrong" instead, like many other minds, "the best of his generation to embrace and simultaneously suffer the embrace of the ideological fury of the twentieth century, a century" armed "and" instructions ", which could not be tackled with the right amount of detachment, of calm courage and introversion. In 1957, after the "facts of Hungary" Calvin PCI now leave a "conservative", but the communication of ideas, of morality and democratic utopia of one of its intellectual reference will continue to fuel the "dreams" dello scrittore impegnato per eccellenza. La Democrazia Cristiana e il suo elettorato, per dirne una, continueranno a rimanere per Calvino l’esempio in negativo della rovina della politica italiana (“La giornata di uno scrutatore” – 1963 – ove però si consuma anche la crisi del militante). La decisione di Calvino sarà quella di drenare il proprio impegno al di fuori della struttura organizzata del Pci; è chiaro tuttavia (e i più anziani ricorderanno le atmosfere degli anni Cinquanta), che al Partito togliattiano, data la reprimenda del Comitato direttivo di Torino, quella decisione risulterà alquanto indigesta .

But, you know, at that time the minds and methods were those that were perhaps a little 'hasty. Often, then, who hurt the sword with the same weapon was forced to succumb, is inside or outside that container of alleged "utopia" that was the Italian Communist Party. Thus, to rule for or against issues or people ("officially" friends or enemies) was quite risky and could be followed by delivery to the most classic "slap on the ears", or even the end of a long friendship ... Pigg devoted Baptist a paragraph in his last book, "The conformists. The extinction of the intellectuals of Italy "(Rizzoli, 2010), just to Italo Calvino and his intransigence in some cases not quite libertarian (or perhaps more libertarian for themselves or others ...). It begins with George Orwell, the anti-totalitarian Orwell (Homage to Catalonia "," Animal Farm "," 1984 "), defined by Calvin a" second-rate pamphleteer "and subject of discussion between him and Pampaloni . Calvin "sharply rebuked his friend Geno Pampaloni," says Battista, "guilty of favorably reviewed 1984, thus demonstrating that it did not irrevocably "Infection in possession of one of the saddest evils and debris of our era's anti-communism". " We then move on in more detail the story of a past (in the words of the Baptist) 'in there to have no nostalgia, no regrets. " "Italo Calvino, reminds us of a letter of 1975 exhumed from" Liberation "in 2008, for example, could not even admit that Claudio Magris doubted the moral legitimacy of abortion without hesitation:" I am very sad not only that you wrote that, but above that you think in this way. " The thought of dissenting Magris procured a pain so excruciating as to lead Calvin to declare the end of a personal relationship (later restored): "I am sorry that so radical a difference on moral issues is essential to break our friendship" ".

For the Baptist, though temperamentally "refractory" Calvin came to "become" one of the many "sentinels looks orthodoxy, approved the excommunication of the damned and "lukewarm" to Peter ... Citati, guilty of failing to be tacked on to censorship campaign that preceded and accompanied the publication del Dottor Zivago di Boris Pasternak, Calvino scrisse nel 1958 (due anni dopo i fatti d’Ungheria, per inciso) addirittura una lettera in cui deplorava una sua affermazione molto forte nei confronti dei comunisti: “ma sei matto? Forse ogni sfogo d’ira è giusto e sano, basta che dopo a ripensarci si arrossisca, come spero tu faccia”». No, ha ragione Battista di questa storia e di questi intellettuali non si può aver alcun rimpianto (bastano e avanzano quelli della nostra epoca, allora), ma di altri intellettuali sì; come lo stesso Calvino, o meglio l’ altro Calvino (qui ritorna l’intima contraddizione del sanremese amante del "Tristam Shandy," Sterne's as it was on the other hand Ernst Jünger, a man who lined up at the same time refined intellectual intuition), who in a letter dated March 1970 and addressed to the literary critic and Einaudi Davico Guido Bonino (l ' announced the "Republic" of 16 September, discussing the show in Turin "Portici Card" designed especially to Calvin for 25 years after his death), expressed strong appreciation for Ezra Pound. Already own a strong Pound, the poet-critic "concrete", the translation of which the writer was born in Cuba strongly advised the group Einaudi ("... the Pound's ABC of Reading, beautiful book, yes that would be nice to ... "), and together with him for a new series entitled" Centopagine "well advised Poe, Pirandello, Ortega y Gasset, Baudelaire, Oscar Wilde and many others. Maybe (maybe) re-reading the advice handed out a letter to Calvin Senior dell'Einaudi (in first place at the same Giulio Einaudi), the publishers say that, however we think, is a pride of Italian culture (to read ' entire list has something for everyone really), it would be appropriate to revise the idea that Calvin was a "simple" overseer or worse the promoter of a culture for the consumption of a political party. The cold manufacturer di un’egemonia, l’intellettuale che ha incarnato il “potere” delle lettere potendo decidere sui destini di questo o quello scrittore; riuscendo infine a decretare la messa la bando di una serie di personaggi “impresentabili” (come poteva esserlo il mussoliniano Pound per esempio) o “proibiti” perché dannosi alla causa del “socialismo”… e che sia stato invece, e “semplicemente”, un intellettuale alla ricerca di un contenitore, di una forma cui “modellare” la propria nobile sostanza. Non il solo dopotutto .

course Calvin is probably the Italian writer of the second part of the twentieth century best known abroad thanks to his choices say so "prudent" (On the other hand, however, also Guareschi, light years away from the San Remo is very well known author) , some perhaps not all the works of Calvin, the critical essays on literature and society and those who wink at the forefront are preferred by young people between the readings of the Third Millennium; certainly among its many initiatives among his literary and journalistic (from 1974 on the "Corriere della sera" and from 1979 on "Republic"), it would just make a "selection" in base alla forza “intrinseca” della loro attualità; certo, certo, certo… Resta comunque il fatto che Calvino è uno scrittore che appassiona; appassiona il suo primo libro, quello sulla resistenza (“Il sentiero dei nidi di ragno”), appassionano i “Racconti”, appassiona la trilogia dei “Nostri antenati”. Appassiona più di altro la sua scrittura, lo stile colto/ironico, i riferimenti al fantastico e alla realtà che lasciano spesso credere che l’uno possa facilmente comprendere l’altro. Appassiona il suo modo originalissimo di apparentare il sostantivo “libertà”. Appassiona soprattutto lui, Italo Giovanni Calvino da Santiago Las Vegas, and more for a macroscopic flaw for kings envied and praised. The defect is said to be a true storyteller (as Verne, like Poe, to give two names ... unattainable models of course), but to be "just" a maker of stories, a good "engineer", a good scientist with the ball fantasy ...

And if so? Left-wing intellectuals have suffered for years the complexity of the best? And there were also unpleasant for this? Should we not to appreciate them now, because we have "discovered" l’esistenza di uno o due difetti? “Spesso nei rapporti umani siamo apprezzati più per i nostri difetti che per le nostre buone qualità”, così parlò Francois de La Rochefoucauld, uno che le due arti della penna e della politica riuscì a conoscerle davvero… E come lui Calvino, alter ego di quel Cosimo Piovasco che un giorno decise di salire su un albero perché esplorasse   un “mondo nuovo”. Un mondo che un giovane autore ebbro di bella politica aveva da sempre sognato .
