Revolution Capital: 18 months of center-
Lobby, powers and business after the "change of season"
The title, "The capture of Rome," says a lot. It is an attempt, led by Claudio Cerasa, 27, son of art, chief editor of Il Foglio, "to describe ('eye with non-Roman) what happened in April 2008. When the city has changed its political color, after 15 years of center, and is passed to the PDL: turning point that led to the election of Gianni Alemanno, the first MSI former mayor, who sent in the attic and the "Rome Model" developed by Godfrey Bettini, Andrea Mondello and Walter Veltroni, in collaboration with Gianni Letta. A world in which major decisions were shared, where he experimented with bipartisan alliances and projects on all the "Film Festival" is no accident - according to the author - one of the first things revisited by the new administration.
The starting point of the book (published by Bur, 207 pages, € 9.80), however, is different: forget the suburbs, the case Ponte di Nona, the security issue exploded in the election campaign with the rape of La retort. And then the support received from "Lupomanno" (as in the book is called the mayor, who carries the nickname from the time of the Youth Front) some powers from the city, the taxi drivers, the Federlazio, Confcommercio, the entrepreneur Francesco Gaetano Caltagirone, the Vatican.
Matters pertaining to notes, for those who follow the Roman policy, largely told in the chronicles of the city's newspapers and perhaps less known by the general public will find that in 'The capture of Rome "a documented summary of a year and a half of the center. "I tried - Claudio Cerasa says the author - to tell a historical moment of a city and to describe how some have changed the dynamics of power." Stakeholders, who do they think? "Bettini and letters, for example, made me know he appreciated." And Alemanno? The mayor expressed some doubts: "Rome is described as a '30s Chicago, and I'm sorry not for me, and for the citizens. Cerasa has put great effort, but among many interviews could also give me a call ...».
Andrea Mondello is enthusiastic: "The book is brilliant, innovative and original thesis: it is written in an extraordinary way and leads to deep reflection." To discuss it, the President of the Chamber of Commerce is organizing a public meeting, Piazza di Pietra, before Christmas: Giuliano Ferrara and Goffredo Bettini (who started the day before yesterday for Thailand) have given their consent.
The book, however, is discussed. Andrea Augello and Fabio Rampelli mentioned in "The three dolphins Lupomanno," I do not agree on the definition: "I love the dolphin - Rampelli says - but I'm not a pet ... I belong to a political class that comes from afar, and it is normal that the PDL against you. " Even the title does not like to Rampelli: 'The outlet? Rome gets picked up by anyone, not even by the emperors ... '. According Augello "It evokes an era of conserterie, principles. It would be of interest to understand why the model Rome fell. " Why? "With Veltroni, the representation of reality has overtaken reality itself." The 'third dolphin, "Umberto Croppi, the definition to the sender: "I am a friend of Aleman, but I had a different political path. I can give him advice, but I'm not a counselor. "
Several managers in play. For
Massimo Tobacco, former president of Federlazio, now president and CEO of ATAC, "the support of the business classes has also searched Veltroni: the proof is that I was president of AMA. And the proximity to Alemanno? "The Federlazio has 4000 companies, everyone decides on his own. Policy maxiappalti, like Romeo, and to favor the large groups, have distanced small and medium-sized enterprises by Veltroni. Same idea Cesare Pambianchi (Confcommercio): "I would not say pre-election agreements or lobby, but di un programma apprezzato dal settore del commercio che era stato consegnato agli immobiliaristi ».
