To painful disputes between the Minister of Defense Ignazio La Russa and general Camporini, so sadly typical of today's Italy, I like humanity, sensitivity and depth of the letter that Matthew Miotto, the Alpine killed in combat in Afghanistan , wrote a couple of months ago after the death of four of his comrades.A letter that seems to come from a distant world, ancient, a "race Piave" that even existed - and in the hearts and minds of Matthew yet exist - replaced by La Russa and everything that means La Russa. In the letter, devoid of all rhetoric, all of this young man's Venetian pride in their roots and the pride of belonging to the body of the mountain, but there is also awareness that the same pride, the same pride in their roots, their traditions, their way of being, living and dying, also belongs to the enemy of Afghanistan, the Taliban enemy.
