Very numerous presence of the public qualified at the presentation of the book “History without heroes”, of Piero Marrazzo, which was held in the elegant conference room of the Catanzaro Chamber of Commerce. And the President of the Chamber of Commerce, Pietro Falboopened the works, enthusiastically highlighting the value of the initiative: an open confrontation on issues concerning the relationship between justice, information and public life. He highlighted Marrazzo’s emotion, taking the goodness of his feelings in his gestures. The president of the Ande Association of Catanzaro, lawyer Roberta Porcelli, who wanted the initiative, he said among other things: “We have never promoted a book before, but this text perfectly embodies our goal: to stimulate comparison, analyze reality beyond the surface. The truth It is never white or black, but made of shades “. President Roberta Porcelli focused on a theme of burning topicality, the relationship between press, justice and politics, wondering how far the news right is justifiable and how the media can influence the public perception of a person.
The journalist and writer, Annarosa Macrì, He made his debut: “This book is more than a personal story: it is a symbol of a universal condition, a metaphor for the fall and the possibility of getting up. This book is literature as well as history and news. He tells of a father, a journalist, of A brother of a husband shows what happens when a short -circuit takes place in a This book means reading a story of rebirth. Without deaths.
And repeatedly the journalist and writer, Piero Marrazzo, He focused on the weight that the media pressure had in his fall, and the difficulty of separating the private individual from the public, of how his life was overwhelmed by a mechanism greater than him. A bitter story: “I was the victim of blackmail, but for fifteen years nobody has ever wondered if it is true. The book is a journey into the family memory, in the Calabria of emigration and social changes”. Private life stories: the brother of Piero Marrazzo, son of the same mother but of a different father, and unknown by his family, especially by his father, after emigration to America, becomes a metaphor of a society that often condemns without appeal . This book is not only my story, but that of anyone who has lived a fall and has found the courage to get up “.
The journalist and lawyer Ennio Curcio He publicly interviewed Marrazzo, on the resignation as president of the Lazio Region and asking him several questions. Marrazzo confessed to having made mistakes: don’t tell the truth to his wife, do not report the blackmail to the top of the weapon immediately. He said how the real active subjects of the crime were the unfaithful carabinieri who were then sentenced. And added: “I resigned for opportunities, not because I was investigated or guilty. I have never been investigated and I have never been delivered to me a guarantee notice, and this makes the story even more absurd. It makes it clear how it should be divided ‘Ethics from morality. but no one has ever reflected on how sexuality can be used as a tool of power. Social should think of those who do not have the strength to resist such a media wave. Piero Marrazzo has reopened, through the pages of his book, that unsolved chapter of our recent history (in via Gradoli the secret services had to do with it?) And of his personal story, “on which the judiciary should still investigate”.
He then added that he has Rejected a European candidacy to make sure that the book could not be politically exploited. The book represents the fall and redemption of an entire family, the story of a man who has chosen to deal with the past to build a new future. That damned afternoon of July 2009 That cursed afternoon, four carabinieri enter an apartment in via Gradoli, film him while entertaining with a trans, try to blackmail him. He is a tsunami, who overwhelms his life as a father, husband, journalist, politician. A terrible story whose offended part I was only: I have not received even a guarantee notice “, he says, but that he forced me to review my whole life, my responsibilities, my public and private history, on a path of Truths that generated this extraordinary book-confession, “History without heroes” (Marsilio) that the Ande Association presented, as a fundamental stage, said President Roberta Porcelli, in his path of civil reflection on the contradictions of the contemporary.
It is no coincidence that at the time of the first announcement of the initiative, which was supposed to be the first presentation of the book in Calabria, subsequently postponed by unavailability of the author, the founder and president of the Mario Jonio Prize, Luigi Stangihas highlighted the precious and constant cultural work carried out by the National Association of Electric Women (Ande), chaired by Roberta Porcelli, a pioneer in intercepting very topical issues and complexity. The Ande founded in 1946 in Rome continues in the commitment to participation in the vote, favoring dialogue with political forces and dedicating itself to reflection and training on large and small topics, linked to the quality of life and social justice, for A enhancement of the person in a context of civil coexistence. Particular attention is paid to the discussion on gender equality in a very rapid, substantial transformation reality.
