MADE PIECES - Mark talks to Marco Travaglio Alloni

Preface by Marco Alloni

"When you do a news story, I will not par playing field between the feet. Either you've never seen a newspaper article accompanied by another who says the opposite? Or a sticker next to one of Forattini Vauro that says otherwise? "

" Listen Tremonti and tells you that there is a certain GDP. Look Bersani and says that GDP is another. But still, there will be while someone tells me what is the real GDP? Or are we to believe that Italy, which is unique in the world, has a GDP of GDP of the right and left? "

" For Italians, the illegality is a bit 'like drugs: a small quantity for personal use is generally recognized "


The book

Di Marco Travaglio is provided as a virtue we all know: the memory , defended by a store that probably draws the portrait of contemporary Italian history better than do the canonical portraits, the historians and journalists' stories. What makes the difference in labor and that the store has become the method. a journalistic style that contrasts with the fleetingness of news, opinion and statement, the sedimentation of the facts . Travaglio return journalism to its function as a countervailing power does talk like Italy Italy does not like to talk and, if they still serve to emphasize, not sparing neither right nor left. With Labor back to believe that not only the story is not over but you can still do, and then clarify and purify - return, uncut, in its actuality - that is washing through the great books.

THE STORY IS NOT 'OVER

"Of what is provided under Marco Travaglio we all know: the memory. Defense from a store that probably draws the portrait of contemporary Italian history better than do the canonical portraits of historians, historians and journalists of the news.
What makes the difference in labor and that the store has become the method: a journalistic style that contrasts with the fleetingness of news, opinion and statement, the sedimentation of the facts. And as often happens, reveals the contradictory nature of opinions and statements in the very moment of their fictional triumphalism.
The archive is not a habit or an addiction catalogatorio to collect news reports in the files it contains. It is the only tool - if used wisely - in contrast to the time adulterer information that faithful historicizing. At the bottom is a way to give voice to history and not his self-styled coryphaei.
If Berlusconi said in the morning what it denies in the evening, the store displays, without fear of contradiction, the contradiction. You do not need to see the Bolsheviks then be the king when he was naked pudenda, despite himself, through the pitiless story archive. The Squaderno the material does not allow replies. When reality itself is not correct to put the lie to hold.
This, clearly, Labor returned to Italian history: its evidence. Then you just want to mystify the sophistry must still compete with the events, with Herodotus Gorgias.
Travaglio then return journalism to its role as countervailing power. He speak for Italy as Italy does not like to talk and, if still serve to emphasize this - but in Italy the evidence is right out - no discounts to the right or left. The "buffalo" on one side as the other, have a single universal name "buffalo".
It can be said that journalism has to operate in this way all along? Sure. But the legacy of an upstream approach, which Labor has collected, among others, Montanelli, he is pushed to its limits have become extreme because the resources of disinformation. The archive must therefore regain quell'eticità exactly that - less urgent in the past - has now become a resource fundamental to a civilized country.
Travaglio also guessed that in addition to the archive, it is essential to counter the deception - so easily conveyed by television - the most old-fashioned tool of persuasion: the book. He returned to the honors of the complaint, aggression, ostracism - was not the case as the good old days when the word was still afraid and someone challenged the volumes of the revolution - and the attention of the mass.
information is an achievement, but also a favor to the literature. With Labor back to believe that not only the story is not over but can still be done, and then clarify and purify - Return, uncut, in its actuality - that is washing through the great books.
One of these (small and straightforward) is the present. Reap the blessing of injury, anger, of the insult? Maybe. Certainly we like to believe that it is a brief summation of the big accusations that Labor has poured about Italy that he does not like and that, fortunately, does not like us. "
