Alessandro Sallusti in the round on the stage of Palazzo Paleologo in Trino for the eighth edition of the Festival of Identitary Cities conceived and directed by Edoardo Sylos Labini to rediscover the cultural, historical and artistic symbols of Italian provincial cities. On stage, the director of “Libero” also spoke about Marco Travaglio. “An actor. He plays the one on the left but in reality he’s on the far right – said Sallusti – Since the character works, he plays that one. And in the theater it’s even better than in the newspaper – Sallusti jokes – in his performance there is also the fact that he was Montanelli’s right arm: it’s a sensational lie, in the eighties I worked with Montanelli and Travaglio was the deputy sports correspondent from Turin. Montanelli didn’t even know it existed”.
The director of Libero also talks about the book he could publish on Giorgia Meloni’s political vision. “In recent months, I had the honor and pleasure of collecting Giorgia Meloni’s vision which should soon become a book. And “My free song could be a perfect title”, says Sallusti referring to the famous song performed by Arianna during the evening, explaining that Meloni “would be very at ease on this stage, because the sense of her vision revolves around identity. We are in an era in which they want us to believe that identity is a thing of the past, instead it is the future: without identity there can be no future”.
Among the challenges that Giorgia Meloni is called to face is also the reform of justice. “I hope she will make it, it doesn’t seem to me that she is afraid, but the will of a premier or a majority, nor the votes in Parliament are not enough. The judiciary is an enormous and sneaky power”, explains Sallusti, who wrote a book on the scandals of the judiciary with the former president of the ANM Luca Palamara, “Il Sistema”, brought to the theater by Edoardo Sylos Labini.
