It is not long before the long-awaited elections and a post on this subject seemed to me to be a must.\u00a0Not just to talk about politics, absolutely not!\u00a0But because I would like to understand two things with you:<\/p>\n
There would be so many things to do that I find it difficult to list them all without, however, falling into rhetoric.\u00a0Therefore I prefer to postpone some food for thought to next week.
\nToday, however, I would like to talk with you about a higher and, at the same time, indispensable concept that is<\/p>\n
My experience leads me to think that\u00a0our country abroad is more loved than hated<\/strong>, and that’s a good thing.\u00a0However, this does not detract from the fact that there is much work to be done to shake off the “masks of Harlequin and Pulcinella” with which we are often identified.<\/p>\n It is pointless to deny that these generalizations (even if wrong as such) are probably a historical burden that we bear from time immemorial, supported in part by an inclination to self-flagellation\u00a0<\/strong>that characterizes us well, and, in part, perhaps even by the not infrequent\u00a0foreign negative media campaigns<\/strong>.\u00a0I believe that perhaps we could also create our own to improve this situation at least a little.<\/p>\n Think of Switzerland, for example<\/strong>.\u00a0How often do we take it as an example of a country where everything works perfectly?\u00a0And yet in Switzerland too, things often do not work out as they should. If we focus this discourse on the normality of commercial relations, I see that unfortunately there are still many countries and companies that are wary of collaborating with Italian companies.\u00a0And it is precisely on this point that I believe there is still a lot to work on.\u00a0Also and above all at the political level…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is not long before the long-awaited elections and a post on this subject seemed to me to be a must.\u00a0Not just to talk about politics, absolutely not!\u00a0But because I would like to understand two things with you: What do we really need in Italy? \u00a0And what should those who will be elected do to […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2783,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4146,4151],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ideas","category-point-of-view"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nGlobally we are considered as artists, brilliant and endowed with great technical and intellectual skills, yes.\u00a0But at the same time also not very reliable, not credible and not very manageable.<\/h2>\n
\nSo what’s different?\u00a0Recently I had the opportunity to take a long trip with an Italian who – for several decades now \u2013 has lived in Switzerland.\u00a0This person told me that the typical and persistent attitude of his fellow citizens is to deny wholly and with great conviction that in Switzerland there are several things that objectively do not work.\u00a0Or, much more simply, they avoid “making noise” about crime news stories that also happen there as unfortunately is somewhat the case in all countries.
\nNow, I do not want to say that attitudes of this type are correct and\/or to be shared;\u00a0I would say however that<\/p>\nperhaps we Italians should put more energy into emphasising our qualities – because we all have qualities – than into highlighting our flaws.\u00a0Don\u2019t you agree?<\/h2>\n
