25 April - Anniversary of Italy's Liberation

25 April also known as the Anniversary of Italy's Liberation is a national holiday in Italy that commemorates the victory of the Italian resistance movement against Nazi Germany and the Italian Social Republic, puppet state of the Nazis and rump state of the fascists, culmination of the liberation of Italy from German occupation and of the Italian civil war in the latter phase of World War II. That is distinct from Republic Day (Festa della Repubblica), which takes place on 2 June and commemorates the 1946 Italian institutional referendum.

Every year on 25 April Italy celebrates Liberation Day, known in Italian as Festa della Liberazione, with a national public holiday.

In addition to the closure of schools, public offices and most shops, the day is marked with parades across the country, organised by ANPI, Italy's partisan association which preserves the memory of the Resistance movement against Fascism.

The occasion is held in commemoration of the end of the Fascist regime and of the Nazi occupation during world war two, as well as the victory of Italy's Resistance movement of partisans who opposed the regime.

Formed in 1943, the partigiani comprised a network of anti-Fascist activists, from diverse backgrounds including workers, farmers, students and intellectuals, across Italy.

Resistance

Together they united in armed resistance against the Nazi occupation and the Fascist regime, making their struggle both a war of liberation and a civil war.

The annual event marks the day in 1945 when a nationwide radio broadcast calling for a popular uprising and general strike against the Nazi occupation and Fascist regime was announced by the National Liberation Committee of Upper Italy (CLNAI), a political umbrella organisation representing the Italian Resistance movement.

This announcement - made by partisan and future president of Italy Sandro Pertini - resulted in the capture and death of Fascist leader Benito Mussolini, who was shot three days later.

The Festa della Liberazione represents a significant turning point in Italy's history, paving the way for the referendum of 2 June 1946 when Italians voted in favour of a republic and against the monarchy which had been discredited during the war and whose members went into exile.

Scurati controversy

This year's event takes place against the backdrop of a political controversy after the state broadcaster RAI stopped a well-known Italian writer from delivering an anti-fascist monologue on television a few days before the Festa della Liberazione.

Antonio Scurati accused RAI of censorship after his monologue was dropped abruptly from the Saturday night talkshow Chesarà for "editorial reasons".

The writer claimed that the move highlighted the alleged attempts by premier Giorgia Meloni's right-wing government to exert its influence over the state broadcaster which has seen several veteran presenters leave over the last year including Fabio Fazio, Bianca Berlinguer and Amadeus.

 In his speech Scurati criticised the "ruling post-Fascist party" for wanting to "re-write history" rather than "repudiate its neo-fascist past".

RAI director Paolo Corsini rejected any talk of censorship, as did Meloni who responded to the controversy by posting Scurati's text on her Facebook page, stating that the broadcaster had "simply refused to pay 1800 euro (the monthly salary of many employees) for a minute of monologue".

Meloni added that the Italian people "can freely judge" the contents of the text which was later read live on air by Chesarà presenter Serena Bortone in an act of solidarity with Scurati.

Non mettere le mani in tasca

Gli studi universitari mi hanno portata lontana da questo blog, ma dopo i recenti avvenimenti non posso restare zitta. Lo scrittore Antonio Scurati sarebbe stato ospite della trasmissione di Serena Bortone, CheSarà, e avrebbe letto un monologo sul 25 Aprile e sul delitto Matteotti. Il tutto è stato bloccato all'ultimo dal nostro Governo, giustificandosi prima con una motivazione di natura economica e in seguito con un per "questioni editoriali". La Bortone ha di conseguenza deciso di leggere il suddetto discorso in diretta, procurandosi una diffida e la chiusura del programma.

Dopo aver appreso la vicenda, sarà perché ormai sono sommersa dallo studio o per una semplice associazione mentale, mi vengono in mente le parole di un filosofo austriaco, Karl Popper, sulla questione della democrazia e della libertà di parola.

Non voglio farvi una lezione di filosofia politica in questo post, vi basti solo sapere che secondo Popper esistono due tipi di società, una aperta e una chiusa. La società chiusa è governata da dogmi indiscutibili che portano alla piena sottomissione gli individui, mentre la società aperta ammette l'esistenza del dialogo e della libera discussione critica. Nella società aperta la libertà di pensiero è un valore radicale, perché senza di essa la nostra democrazia non potrebbe essere in grado di evolversi ed adattarsi alle nostre esigenze. E allora io mi chiedo, non siamo forse una società aperta? o forse lo eravamo, o forse ci siamo illusi di esserlo. Ora più che mai ho l'impressione che non possiamo considerarci tale.

Presidente, io comprendo quanto per Lei sia necessario il consenso delle masse, quanto possa essere potente l'uso dei mass media per poterlo ottenere. Non è la prima che utilizzerà questo mezzo per i suoi scopi e sono certa che non sarà l'ultima. Ma le voglio solo dire questo: la censura non è mai la risposta. Ciò che ha commesso è un fatto gravissimo che conferma il suo valore come personaggio politico e soprattutto il suo valore umano.

Mi rifiuto categoricamente di sentirmi rappresentata da Lei.

Therapeutic Benefits of Horseback Riding

Some individuals participate in horseback riding for its therapeutic benefits. It blends cognitive stimulation, emotional connection, and physical engagement. Moreover, it provides riders with physical benefits in a positive and safe learning environment.

During a riding session, the horse and rider function as a team. Riders develop communication skills, build trust, and achieve a sense of accomplishment. The bond fosters respect and confidence, allowing riders to grow their motivation.

The physical benefits of horse riding include sensory integration, improved circulation and respiration, improved motor skills and faster reflexes, and better balance, strength, and range of motion. The rider's psychological sense of well-being, self-confidence, capacity to manage risk, and emotional control (self-discipline) also improve.

Socially, horseback riding can enhance a rider’s interactions with others. Some riders build friendships with other riders and the horses. The interactions can become mutually beneficial and improve group social skills.

Lastly, therapeutic riding can improve reading, math, and science skills. Riders also develop stronger attention spans, focus, and listening abilities. Other educational benefits include improved eye-hand coordination, visual and spatial perception and differentiation, maturing sequencing, patterning, and motor skills.

A high-profile Italian author has accused Rai of censorship after his antifascist monologue was abruptly stopped from being aired, in what he called the “definitive demonstration” of alleged attempts by Giorgia Meloni’s government to wield its power over the state broadcaster.

Antonio Scurati was due to read the monologue marking the 25 April national holiday, which celebrates Italy’s liberation from fascism, on the Rai 3 talkshow Chesarà on Saturday night.

But as he prepared to travel to Rome, he received a note from Rai telling him his appearance had been cancelled “for editorial reasons”.

Scurati is well known in Italy for his books about the dictator Benito Mussolini and the fascist period. The cancellation of his monologue provoked fierce reaction from Rai journalists, fellow authors and opposition leaders.

His speech referenced Giacomo Matteotti, a political opponent of Mussolini who was murdered by fascist hitmen in 1924, and other massacres of the regime. It also contained a paragraph criticising Italy’s “post-fascist” leaders for not “repudiating their neofascist past”.

“Undoubtedly, this is what infuriated them,” Scurati told the Guardian. “And also because of what I represent and maintain in my books … [that] there is a continuity between the fascism of Mussolini and the populist nationalists in Europe.”

The Rai director Paolo Corsini denied that the monologue had been censored, telling the Italian media that an investigation “of an economic and contractual nature” was under way, while implying that the speech was cancelled because of the “higher than expected” fee sought by Scurati.

Scurati said his fee had been agreed and the contract signed before the monologue was due to be broadcast. “The fee was perfectly in line with those paid to authors … It was the same as in the past, when there were no issues.”

In solidarity, Serena Bortone, who presents Chesarà, read out the monologue on the show. It has also been published in full by several Italian newspapers and websites.

Meloni, whose Brothers of Italy party has neofascist origins, came to power in October 2022 with a coalition including the far-right League and the late Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia.

During the election campaign, Meloni said the rightwing parties had “handed fascism over to history for decades now”. However, Scurati claimed in his monologue that when forced to address fascism at historical anniversaries, Meloni has “obstinately stuck to the ideological line of her neofascist culture of origin”, for example by blaming the Mussolini regime’s persecution of the Jews and other massacres on Nazi Germany alone.

Meloni responded by publishing the speech on her Facebook page, while attacking Scurati and accusing the left of “shouting at the regime”.

“Rai responded by simply refusing to pay €1,800 (the monthly salary of many employees) for a minute of monologue,” she said. “I don’t know what the truth is, but I will happily publish the text of the monologue (which I hope I don’t have to pay for) for two reasons: 1) Those who have always been ostracised and censored by the public service will never ask for anyone to be censored. Not even those who think their propaganda against the government should be paid for with citizens’ money. 2) Because Italians can freely judge its content.”

Since coming to power, the Meloni government has been accused of increasingly exerting its power over Rai while edging out managers or TV hosts with leftwing views. The European Commission was last week urged to investigate the government’s alleged attempts to turn the broadcaster into a “megaphone” for the ruling parties before the European elections.

Meloni’s administration has also been accused of trying to influence other areas of the press and targeting journalists with legal action who criticise the government. A Brothers of Italy politician recently proposed toughening penalties for defamation, including jail terms of two to three years.

Elly Schlein, the leader of the centre-left Democratic party, said: “The Scurati case is serious; Rai is the megaphone for the government.” Carlo Calenda, the leader of the centrist Azione party, said: “Silencing a writer for saying unpleasant things about the government is simply unacceptable.”

Scurati said he has received solidarity from many authors and journalists who were otherwise afraid to speak out against the government.

“This episode is the definitive demonstration, as it has finally aroused the revolt of other writers, intellectuals and journalists who until now kept quiet,” he said. “This government launches violent personal attacks against you for speaking out, in my case [that] I asked for too much money.”
