Fellini and the common places in Italy
Alexandra Lawrence’s article is about Italy from the economic boom of the 1960s’ to today.
Everyone knows Italy for its architecturel, culturel, landscape painting and culinary beauties, but not only for that. For years Italy has been considered a special destination, but owing to its inefficient political and bureaucratic management, it risks to compromise its image in the world. Fortunately, thanks to its beautiful characteristics, it has temporarily resolved its problematic situation.
A lot of people were interviewed, and everyone claimed problems could be solved by improving intercultural relationships. One of these, Florence Pettit, a British student who studied in Florence, suggested improving high-tech, so that Italy would simply no longer be the same.
Another person, Micheal P., a local art historian said: “ I hate that it is now more difficult to access the things I love” declaring that the price of entrance fees to museums, monuments and churches is too high.
Italy’s national identity was called into question with Ian Fisher recent New York Times article, in which he says that Italian people are depressed, unhappy and with not much hope for the future.
Is this the real image that the world has about us?
Some foreign students said that even if the internships are difficult for the combination of language barrier and lack of interaction with residents, the Italian government has devised a system of volunteers and an organisation to improve the foreign undergraduates’ social life.
You don’t need a new Michelangelo, Dante or another Brunelleschi to understand that Italy is not only “pizza, guitar mandolin and the Mafia”, but it has to fling off the heavy cloak of the mythical dolce vita and It will be ready to go out of its lethargy.
