How To Break A Vargina

The wall between politics and country

on what happened yesterday we have wasted so many words. But the best ones seem Mario Calabresi today at La Stampa . Here they are.

The wall between politics and country
Mario Calabresi
policy consumes Palace closed in the showdown waiting for months: shouts, insults you, it is counted and then celebrates. Outside the city burns. The doors of the building are locked, to separate two worlds that seem to live in light-years distant galaxies.

columns of smoke, explosions, the clang of the clashes, the paving stones flying, helmets, bats, they speak of course of the past, make us think of the seventies, but that's where we go to understand. Better to look to London, the boys attack the banks, which hit the car of Charles and Camilla, Greece fires in the square, all young people out of control that no longer have any relationship with parties and their mediation, but point to the breakdown, convinced they have the right to the streets to vent their anger at a life that promises to be precarious.

Images of Rome are frightened and told in an exemplary manner the distance between a policy closed in on itself, in its rituals deteriorate, and a country that swerves are wicked and no more, no dreams or a direction. The boys playing at war with the helmet, petrol, hood and sticks are not sure the Italians, but the policy should be able to look beyond those fires to see a silent majority that is not exhausted and not even able to delude themselves. Instead, the policy

blind, focuses on building a "zone red "to be safe, not only to let out the troublemakers but all Italians, and then into fights, barks, excites the minds and seems unable to produce any solution. The country

heels for too long because it is not government, because no one bothers to confront and contain the maximalist delirious, to reassure those who are afraid of the future and stop the violence that is returning to emerge. We can not risk losing another generation, even if we speak of small breaks, even if we are against terrorism and guns.

The noise of the clashes of the past requires a leap of dignity of the government and would require a change in the language of opposition: you can not go on roofs or call "Chile", the Italian police without bothering to stir up the streets.

On 14 December last past, and Berlusconi has been in the saddle, winning another battle in its war with Fini. But a government that is saved by three votes, won overnight, has little to celebrate: his only concern now should be to be able to recover their ability to listen to the country and not to survive one more day.

Gus & Waldo, like the gay penguins straight




's interview on City to Fenati Massimo, the maker Gus & Waldo . Click on images to enlarge.

My gay penguins so loved by straight

Fenati Massimo is his father (Italian) Gus and Waldo, penguins lovers who have conquered England. And they became synonymous with married life.

In England they are celebrities, but are less popular in Italy: Who are Gus and Waldo?

A pair of penguins in love, gay actors in a cartoon called like them. Bear an autobiographical, is inspired by me and my partner and our relationship, which is of long duration.
Why two penguins?
Why are monogamous animals: they mate for life.
But I'm also gay, and the cliché has it that homosexuals are not very cut out for married life ...
A commonplace, in fact. Walter and I, my husband, we've been together 19 years.
By Gus, Waldo and ironically, she tells the couple's life ...
I was interested in writing not of falling, which usually speaks of the whole popular culture, songs from the movies. But on being together, about what happens after the film comes the word "the end". It is a theme that we live but not much more. What
identify di più i suoi lettori?
Soprattutto nelle piccole differenze o anche nei piccoli screzi di coppia. Mi scrivono un po’ tutti di aver vissuto, per esempio, la pagina in cui uno dei due russa e l’altro si lamenta perché non riesce a dormire. Oppure si riconoscono nei momenti di tenerezza, nei gesti d’amore quotidiani.
Questo vale anche per gli eterosessuali?
I miei pinguini gay piacciono agli etero perché la dinamica di coppia, alla fine, è sempre la stessa. Le uniche differenze sono tra i singoli individui. L’orientamento sessuale non c'entra.
Questo varrà ancora di più in un paese come l’Inghilterra in cui i diritti sono uguali per tutti.
A couple who has problems live it to sunlight, as often happens in Italy for gay and lesbian issues can have a little bit different. For the rest of the internal dynamics is universal.
The problem is the relationship with the company?
Yes, and England do not give anyone anything that Gus and Waldo are gay. Moreover, just turn on the TV and any soap or drama has gay characters. And is full of famous people in entertainment, politics or any field that they are declared. Not a problem. Often my readers make the game of those who, in their groups, or more like Gus Waldo.
Gus is the one with the beak pointed, right? Yes
between the two is the most strung, the more orderly.
And what would you ...
Exactly. Waldo instead is a bit 'more relaxed, messy, messy ... was inspired by Walter. From that point of view are a bit 'the odd couple: they love so much in common, but there are others on which I just can not agree.
How did you start drawing?
With a small sketch on a post-it notes, left on the sandwich that I prepared for my lunch companion. He liked this little pinguinetto much that I started to make some 'sketches and drawings. So long for our tenth anniversary I decided to give us a pair of rings. And I've hidden inside a book with the penguins, made by me.
really romantic ...
Of that a little 'mushy. The book began as the container: Walter opened the package, thinking that the book was a gift and found the rings. Of course, burst into tears. From there, all friends who have seen the booklet, I wanted them too. And I decided to try to bring out a real book.
And how did he do?
I went to buy "The Handbook of artists and writers, which is a guide for aspiring writers. It seemed the classic manual for failures who never publish anything. Instead, in the preface it was written that he had also used the Harry Potter author: I was heartened.
What was the first piece of advice?
Find a agent. So I sent a bit 'of material around. But for two or three months I had no answers: to myself I had already given up. Until suddenly I received three replies from three different literary agents and I could even choose. From there it all started.
His is the latest illustration: she designs the computer, right?
work almost only with Illustrator. At best, I make sketches to show the scenes. But then he realized all the computer with the tablet: it is a pen, but the paper hopes
What now? What
go through the cartoon I'm working on. We already have a pilot episode for the series. It's my dream: I grew up with comics and cartoons.
If not mistaken, there are gay penguins at a zoo in New York. Have nothing to do with Gus and Waldo?
The most famous is a pair of the Central Park Zoo, but the first was another aquarium in Coney Island. Gus and Waldo were then already. But when I had to choose their names, I decided to do a tribute to the aquarium penguins, which are called Wendell and Cass. The rest is imagination.
