We are often, unfortunately, to speak ill of RAI: \u200b\u200ballotment, servility, lack of creative freedom, elephantiasis. We are pleased, for once, be able to sing the praises: Since last Monday, has dramatically escalated the crisis in Libya, it should be honestly acknowledged that the schedule has been revolutionized as appropriate, to describe the evolution of events, while fully respecting the mission of public service television.
bombing the crowd, mass graves, executions of the wounded in hospitals throughout the week, as they piled the distressing news from Tripoli, at least one prime of the three RAI networks has been devoted to special investigations. On Rai Uno, almost every night seemed to be there in the crowd and the square Green: live links, unpublished testimonies, emblematic images to be remembered for a long time.
Hundreds of journalists from state television, sent correspondents and overcoming the sterile divisions between warheads, have a team to offer the viewer a thorough analysis of the events taking place 70 km from our shores. In the study, no Italian politician has been asked to avoid exploitation. Cards only film, made with care and commented by neutral experts: the guide to the minute, the reactions internazionali, gli interessi economici italiani in Libia (e quelli libici in Italia), il peso energetico del Nord Africa, la possibile emergenza immigrazione, la rivoluzione del mondo arabo che ha coinvolto anche Egitto e Tunisia.
In un’ideale staffetta televisiva da Rai Uno a Rai Due si passava dalla cronaca alla storia: uno speciale curato da Giovanni Minoli ricostruiva la colonizzazione italiana, durata ufficialmente dal 1911 al 1947. Molti italiani non sapevano che fu il primo ministro Giovanni Giolitti ad iniziare la conquista della Tripolitania e della Cirenaica, inviando le truppe italiane contro l'Impero Ottomano. L'opinione pubblica dell'epoca veniva galvanizzata al suono di Tripoli bel suol d'amore , Popular patriotic march brought to success by the beautiful chanteuse Gea Garisenda, then wife of industrialist discrete Borsalino. 's rise to power of fascism led to a worsening of the Italian policy of conquest of those territories, thousands of deaths, deportations, concentration camps, forced evictions and reprisals paved the way for the creation of the Governorship of what Mussolini called "the fourth shore of Italy. "
After the massacres, the Kingdom of Italy began a colonization that culminated in the mid-thirties with an influx of settlers especially from Veneto, Sicily, Calabria and Basilicata. In 1939 the Italians were 13% of the population, concentrated in the coast around Tripoli and Benghazi (where they were respectively 37% and 31% of the population). Italians in Libya built infrastructure worthy of note (roads, bridges, railways, hospitals, ports, buildings, and more) and the Libyan economy, he received beneficial effects. Even archeology flourished: Roman towns disappeared (such as Leptis Magna and Sabratha) was rediscovered and given as a symbol of Italian law to hold Libya already Roman.
Tourism was superior to the institution dell'ETAL, Tourist hotel in Libya, which manages hotels, coach lines of coaches, theatrical and musical performances in the Roman theater of Sabratha, the Grand Prix of Mellah (known internationally "Tripoli Grand Prix and competed from 1925 to 1940), a charming town oasis within the Tripoli.
beginning of World War II there were about 120,000 Italians in Libya. The governor Italo Balbo in 1940 had built 400 km of new railroads and 4,000 km of new roads (the best known was the Via Balbi with his name that went along the coast from Tripoli to Tobruk). Since 1937, the Italian Government had initiated a process of full integration of Libya into the Kingdom: Libya has started to transform it from a geographical region Italian colony equalized to the other. This process began with the proclamation of the 4 provinces of Tripoli (TL), Benghazi (BE), Measurement (MU), Derna (DE). On 9 January 1939 the colony of Libya was incorporated into the metropolitan territory of the Kingdom of Italy and therefore considered part of the Greater Italy.
On 3 November 1938, the EIAR, ancestor of the same Rai transmitted a commentary from Tripoli on the occasion of the arrival of the first 20,000 Italian population for the colonization of Libya, the 12 will be turned on a radio station, Radio Tripoli, the according to which transmitter was Zanzur, fifteen miles from capital, while the center with an auditorium and equipment was on the Fair premises, which during the war does not host any event. The various receivers allow connection to the See of Rome. The broadcasts were from 7 to 23 in Italian and Arabic on 1104 kHz with considerable power, then the medium-wave, 50 kW. In Italy, the EIAR began broadcasting the reading of the Koran in Arabic in 1939, that took up the custom of Rome to give Roman citizenship to the inhabitants of the territories were annexed as the Empire.
World War II devastated the Libyan and Italian settlers forced the Italians to leave their properties en masse. In the Peace Treaty of 1947, Italy had to give up all its colonies, including Libya. In 1962 the Italians in Libya were still approximately 35,000. But after the coup of Colonel Gaddafi in 1969, about 20,000 Italians were suddenly forced to sell their goods and their economic Oct. 7, 1970 (still the various associations of refugees and returnees are struggling to get compensation Italian State). In 1986, after the political crisis between the U.S. and Libya, the number of Italians was reduced even further, reaching a low of 1,500 people, less than 0.1% of the population.
The relay race between the networks went on Rai Tre, who has correctly programmed "Desert Roses", the last film directed by Monicelli In the summer of 1940 during the North Africa campaign, a section of health Royal Italian Army camped in Sorman, a remote oasis in the desert of Libya. The war there appears to be far away, and everyone is looking for entertainment as it may, the largest Strucchi (Alessandro Haber) writing letters to his young wife, Lt. Salvi (Giorgio Pasotti) devoted to the hobby of photography. Together with an Italian friar (Michele Placido), then the military began to assist the local population, in need of medical care. Everyone is convinced that the war will end soon and that will be home for Christmas, but the time for counter-English, which will force them to come to terms with the reality of war.
Inspired by the same novel by Mario Tobino, "The desert of Libya", twenty years before Dino Risi directed "Dumb War". Captain Pilli (Coluche), albeit with serious mental disorders and induced earlier, he finds himself in command of a military unit at the front. Lieutenant medical Wolves (Beppe Grillo), with great humanity and common sense, including the difficulty and the resulting danger to everyone, but nothing can be done in front of a web of high-ranking guards and narrow interests, which value hierarchies and bureaucratic instead of people in an extreme situation like a war.
With this clear and structured programming, viewers were informed of the events in Libya, given a choice between cuts inspired by the insights and commentary, a historical and cultural one. The great Rai is back, proving that the schedules can be flexible not only when it comes to Pupo or Antonella Clerici, for counter-programming Mediaset in a (fake) war plays, but also to tell a live (real) civil war. Think how it would be sad if, in these evenings, perhaps to hide embarrassing friendship between Berlusconi and Gaddafi, was not aired any of this and had sent, as if nothing had happened, "Island of the Famous" and the eternal , pale consoling fiction. Do you think that humiliation if Rai, to write these lines, I had to Sky, Al Jazeera and consult Wikipedia: we would become of us, at that point, the province of the Empire.
