"Radio stabs me with the flower festival" Sergio Caputo sings, and these days it is very difficult to escape the event song: I will not feel bound and I dedicate my new "account" just in the Sanremo Festival. I honestly do not idle or useless to think about this event. It is not just songs. And even if they were just songs, the festival is seen by almost la metà delle famiglie italiane, è il programma di punta di una delle più importanti agenzie culturali di questo paese: merita una qualche attenzione. E comunque - lo ripeto - non stiamo parlando solo di canzoni, come spero di riuscire a dimostrare.
Siamo talmente abituati alla mediocrità da rimanere stupiti di fronte alla normalità. Ci ho pensato guardando la terza serata del festival. Svegliandomi estremamente presto al mattino, ho praticamente smesso di guardare la televisione, che già prima delle mie levatacce guardavo di rado. Ma visto che giovedì e venerdì ho potuto alzarmi un po' più tardi del solito - comunque intorno alle 6.30 - e che era ampiamente annunciata la presenza di Roberto Benigni, giovedì sera - naturalmente with Zaira - I made an exception. Benigni I really enjoyed it, but I will not talk to him, the Tuscan artist is another category, and frankly the "medium" level of culture and beauty of the show on Thursday, and the entire festival, can not be calculated based on him.
Returning to the show so to speak "normal" on Thursday evening, I found some other aspects worthy of note: the style of conducting Gianni Morandi, interpretations of Roberta Flack, Anna Oxa, David Van De Sfroos, the quality of arrangements and the ability of the orchestra, the irony of Luca Bizzarri and Paolo Kessisoglu, so I got the impression - hot, so to speak - To attend a show quality, above average for what is commonly seen on television. Of course there were definitely moments in the media: embarrassing singing some interpretations, the entr'actes hard to bear - on the other hand one of the authors Federico Moccia figure with its cap - the cumbersome and unwieldy in the presence of the future Mrs. Clooney, the exploitation by pimps the beauty of Belen Rodriguez, and so on. Looking back with a cool head, I came to the conclusion that the evening of the festival was not television excellence - of course, always less benign - but just a show they have worked on several people who know how to do their job. And this in our country ends up being revolutionary. To make a good media do not need some genes, but many ordinary people are sufficient.
And since we're not just talking about songs, it seems to me that this happens every day, in every context. When I'm at work, I hear of people who would like to thank my colleagues for their professionalism and kindness that they have found in our office, even though they came only to ask for a certificate or to renew their identity card. Net capacity of my colleagues - which is still high - I think that this proves that we are so accustomed to the approximation when we go to any public office to be surprised when we treated in maniera normalmente competente, anche per una pratica semplice. E lo stesso avviene - purtroppo è una constatazione comune e difficilmente confutabile - negli ospedali, nelle scuole, in molti ambienti di lavoro, anche privati. Ho già scritto diverse volte delle condizioni al limite dei diritti sindacali e costituzionali in cui sono costretti a lavorare tanti giovani, ad esempio nei call center , e non voglio tornarci sopra. E questo favorisce naturalmente la mancanza di professionalità. Mi pare quasi - ma magari su questo sarebbe necessario un maggior approfondimento - che a fronte di paghe basse e diritti inesistenti quei lavoratori, piuttosto che reagire chiedendo maggiori diritti, si rifugino nel far male il proprio lavoro. E' una sorta chase to the bottom of the concept of quid pro quo: You give me a little, but I work bad. Instead, the work should be honored, again, because it is something precious.
To return to the pop songs and television, I think that really work too many times, both of whom appear on the stage of who is behind the scenes, not at all honored. And here the damage is probably deeper than the Italian television is doing to this country, not so much cloying bias of certain news or some news programs. This television has taught a generation - and continues to teach - which is not so important what you do and how do you know but who you are, what you wear, how others see you.
