As many will know this year is celebrating its sesquicentennial anniversary of the unification of Italy, our nation was born in fact, thanks to the heroes of the Risorgimento, in 1861. After the period of the monarchy (1861-1946) and the wretched Fascist period (1922-1943), following the historic achievement of the popular referendum dated 2 June 1946, did the Italian Republic which is still the current form of government in Italy , and even today, despite several attempts aimed at drastically change has been in force the Italian Constitution which was adopted in 1948 and, according to many authoritative voices, is among the world's best constitutions in existence. Turning to the choice of the best songs that dealt with the issue relating to Italy and Italians, I prefer to exclude the lyrics that were just celebrating and declamatory, the more I avoided the nationalistic or patriotic songs, choosing mainly those songs that, while demonstrating a love for Italy and its inhabitants, they wanted to highlight the critical downsides, things and behaviors that do not go wrong, all this only with the intention of correcting these national negativity. For the reason just explained are placed songs "intelligent" and "thinking" I do not feel like Italian Giorgio Gaber, more ironic and amusing as the Land of Persimmons Elio e le Storie Tese, others were born in a particular historical period, they want to focus on the "tick" typical of which have suffered and are suffering generations of Italians (Italy is going is an example). Close this post the video of a beautiful song by Frank Sinatra who did not use rhetoric in the text of Viva Italy and demonstrating a sincere and poetic benevolence towards our dear nation.
