Giuseppe Prezzolini, “The conservative anarchist” is the title of Tg2 Dossier, broadcast tomorrow at 11pm on Rai 2 and replayed on Sunday at 10.10am, edited by the director Gennaro Sangiuliano on the figure of the founder of “La Voce”, aged forty from his death in Lugano on 14 July 1982. Complex, singular and original character, witty and sarcastic writer, capable of effective prose, journalist without rhetoric, brilliant inventor of magazines and cultural relations; both Longanesi, Missiroli and Montanelli elected him to the rank of their teacher. He was born in Perugia (“by chance”, as he himself will often repeat), a Tuscan by adoption and above all by conviction (his family was originally from Siena). Through unpublished images and the intervention of historians and journalists, Sangiuliano narrates the long intellectual life of Prezzolini, who without him having sought him out, is an unparalleled crossroads of characters, experiences, trends in art, literature and philosophy. From the cultural avant-gardes of the early twentieth century, to interventionism, from Bergson’s philosophy to that of Croce, to friendship with Papini and Gobetti, to the long stretch of life in the United States. His name remains linked above all to the experience of La Voce, which he founded in 1908 together with his friend and partner Giovanni Papini. It will be judged by a large critic as the most prestigious cultural magazine of the first half of the twentieth century. Prezzolini involves intellectuals of the caliber of Giovanni Amendola, Benedetto Croce, Giovanni Gentile, Luigi Einaudi, Romolo Murri, Giuseppe Lombardo-Radice, Gaetano Salvemini, Ardengo Soffici, Piero Gobetti, Emilio Cecchi, just to name a few. With the experience of the Voice was born the experience of the modern intellectual who wants to immerse himself in the contradictions of his time, the ambition is to de-provincialize Italian culture and with it the Italian state that seems to have betrayed the ideals of the Risorgimento. Giovanni Amendola, one of the most active collaborators of the magazine, coined the motto that assumes a programmatic tone: “We don’t like Italy as it is today”. The passage of time has shown the acuteness, originality and predictive ability of some analyzes of him, especially when it comes to the Italian character. The denunciation of that marked tendency to conformist uniformity, to gray and indistinct areas, to politically correct, to the feeble comfort of everyday life in place of the defense of one’s ideals, in search of compromise if not of about-face. Prezzolini was perhaps first of all the response of a conservative to Italian conformism: an exciting and poignant drama, full of unexpected twists and intense pathetism, the protagonist of which – in the direction of Emma Dante at the Greek Theater in Syracuse – it is played by a woman: it is Euripides’ Heracles, broadcast tomorrow at 9.45pm on Rai 5. Heracles is the drama of madness that strikes and drags the civilizing hero and benefactor of humanity par excellence into the dust. Megara, his wife, the three sons of the hero and his father Amphitryon await the return of Heracles, who descended into Hades to make the last effort; their life has been in danger ever since Licos seized power in Thebes by killing Creon, father of Megara and king of the city. Just when the sacrifice is about to take place, Heracles returns, enters the palace to attempt an ambush for Lico. These will fall shortly after under the blows of Heracles. Justice is done, at least so it seems. The translation is by Giorgio Ieranò.
