An Italian Australian Agrigento returned to Italy after four decades. The nostalgia came the rogue. He had left his country in 1968 with Mike Bongiorno Pippo Baudo and on television. Andreotti in Parliament. Alitalia on strike (it was due to leave by ship). The commuter trains filled, dirty and late.
He remembered the road works at the time, building sites are everywhere. The Salerno-Reggio Calabria nearing completion. In his day there was a crisis in the South, the problem of the mafia and the neo-fascists. He found all the same, precise.
In a television program were even Mino Reitano, Peppino di Capri and Gianni Pettenati singing "Yellow flag".

"Wizard Zurlo?" He hissed. I wanted to lie, but I did not succeed. "It has also this year the Zecchino d'oro, but there's Topo Gigio, now he started in politics." He wrote me a postcard from Sydney, where immediately returned. An old postcard with the rubble of the Belice in Sicily, after the earthquake of 1968, equal to the present. From
Beppe Grillo.
