I ' D LIKE TO TELL YOU ABOUT CESARE

Aperitivo radio show was so far a place for entertainment, small talk and fantasy. What i want to tell you about is unfortunatly reality. For once i want to take advantage of this place for something important.

I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU ABOUT CESARE BATTISTI.

I don't know Cesare Battisti personnaly, the first thing that i know is that i read his novels since the first published (les habits d'ombre, 1993, Gallimard Série Noire), i like them.
Could i say that i that like a man through his novels, may be in a way, eventhough novels can't give reality its truth.
The second thing that i know is that he was once a member of the PAC (proletaires armés pour le communisme, Armed proletarian for communism), long ago, a time of low level civil war, in Italy. Is this post the place to talk about the History, i dont think so, it is a complex one, you can't talk about it in a post, you need an entire book.
The third thing is that in 1985, French President Mitterand welcome all past italian militant, it was a way to affirm that those days in italy were days of civil war, political acts.
The fourth is that according to french laws, one can not be judged for the same fact unless there are new elements. In 1991 the French court (Cour d'appel de Paris) stood that they can't agree to the italian government request to send Cesare Battisti back to Italy.
The fifth is that the night of 10th february 2004, i was in front of my computer screen and received a mail, "Cesare Battisti has been arrested this morning", this mail made me cry my tears out, you can't imagine how sad and angry i was.
Despite point three and four he was arrested, and threaten to be send back in Italy, in jail for the rest of his life (In Italy people who were judged without being present at their trial don't have the right to be a new one. By the time of his trial, Cesare was in Mexico and not aware of it).
Why was he arrested that 10th february, why did the french police arrest him ?
Because he had threaten one of his neighbour. We now know that this was a lie, just a lie to find an excuse to arrest him.

It is nearly two years now that Cesare is on the run, without any hope to see his daughters, his family and friends in France or in Italy. That's why this morning i bought his latest book, not a novel but some kind of a testimony. Having the book in my hands, i had the feeling getting in touch with an old lost friend, strange isn't it. I didn't buy tranquility with this book, for that i'd like to thank you Cesare.

How can someone help in this situation, you are your own judge, but this post is the least i can do.

Hope to meet you, one day in your everyday life, in a peacefull time, Cesare my friend.
