ITALIAN SONG PLAYING

Ah, abject Italy –

you inn of sorrows, you ship
without a helmsman

in harsh seas. No queen of
provinces, but of bordellos.

SOUNDS OF FIGHT

HEART RATE MONITOR BEEPING

"GIRLFRIEND IN A COMA" SONG

It all began in 2001, when I
was editor of the Economist.

We looked at Italy
and we were shocked

– corruption, private power,
media domination. Our precious

capitalism was destroying
something even more precious:

Democracy.

On our cover, we were
a trifle provocative

about Silvio Berlusconi.

He sued us for libel and
said we were communists.

His proof?

That I look like Lenin.

We won the legal cases, he
won two more elections.

Bill Emmott!

So I set out to
make sense of it.

I had a nasty feeling that
Italy was an early warning

of the West’s decline too.

I was surprised italians didn’t
seem to mind a foreigner

speaking frankly,

even when I was just
saying the bleedin’ obvious.

Ttaly started to seduce me
when I was, well, a fairly

innocent teenager. I got
there on my first ever

trip abroad, in our version
of the magic bus.

Here I am in Florence
with my mates and

a rather dodgy haircut.

But while we were awestruck
by Venice’s beauty

our van was emptied
out by thieves.

Buona Italia, mala Italia.

It taught me a
lot about girlfriends.

2011 was an incredible year.
Tyrannies were falling down,

Borrowing costs
were shooting up.

Europe’s sovereign debts
became the new bogeymen,

endangering the Euro.

Yet the real story lies deeper.

Europe has for years
been crippling itself.

Now, our lack of solidarity and
our leaders’ short-sightedness

risk a collective suicide.

Taking centre stage,
Italy at least provided

some comic relief, thanks to the
entertaining talents

of Silvio Berlusconi.

But the play was about
to reach a crescendo.

LAUGHTER

SINGING

The sun may be shining
on Italy’s capital,

but the economic forecast
is distinctly gloomy.

The clock is ticking. The
Italian debt looks ok.

The trend is accelerating,
not decelerating.

Italy’s debt is about
$2.6 trillion,

more than five times
the debt of Greece.

Italy’s Prime Minister, Silvio
Berlusconi, has resigned.

News of his
resignation brought

his opponents out
onto the street to

celebrate what they’re
calling a liberation.

It looked like a
salvation, too, with new

Prime Mnister Mario Monti
swapping Bunga Bunga

for fiscal bondage.

Yet salvation takes
time and repentance.

Italy had neither.

MUSIC

Truth, intelligence, courage.

– fine words. But are the
people who run Italy

really listening?

Here they are, the elite who

over the past 20 years have
presided over Italy’s decline.

They bear the
responsibility for leaving

my girlfriend in a coma.

For what they have done,

and especially for what
they have not done.

MUSIC

A fine offer, but when
I tried to take it up,

he claimed I had
misunderstood him, again.

Time in italy often
seems to stand still.

Sometimes, it even
takes you backwards.

Here in Orvieto are the
frescos of Signorelli,

one of the most beautiful
depictions ever

of the universal judgment.

Here, after the black
death 700 years ago,

one of italy’s most spectacular
cathedrals was built.

It symbolised a desire
for moral rebirth,

for thinking in new ways. For
Italy then was divided and

fractured, corrupted and
dispirited, just as it is today.

That was the Italy
that angered Dante.

Europe’s greatest poet united
Italians for the first time

in their own language.

Now, culture seems to be
the only thing

that keeps them together.

"NESSUNDORMA" ARIA

Signorelli’s frescoes were a
passionate call

to face up to our
sins and repent.

That was Dante’s call too.

I began to wonder what vices
Dante would name today

and what virtues,

so I went on my own very
personal journey to find out.

Of course, he would send
me straight to hell.

Here, one must leave
behind all hesitation.

Here, every cowardice
must meet his death.

EXPLOSION

Truth –
so important, but so easily

abused. The loudest and
simplest messages prevail.

Deeper truths are hard to
explain, painful to accept,

So the easy way out
is to avoid them.

This is so true in italy.

Once europe’s most dynamic
economy, its 20 year decline has

been horrifying – much worse
than most people realise.

MUSIC

When we foreigners enter the
corridors of italian power,

We're told we will be baffled.

But the truth is easy
to see and it’s ugly.

20 years have passed since the
huge corruption scandal

"clean hands". The political
hands are now dirtier than ever.

It’s so different
from 150 years ago.

Then, the heroes
of unification –

Cavour, Garibaldi, Mazzini –

were patriots who
devoted their lives to

radical action and
public service.

What would they think
of today’s politicians

devoting their lives
to timidity and self-service?

Monti does have authority.
We called him

Super Mario when he
was in Brussels for

the way he took on
Microsoft and other giants.

But with a short mandate, even a

super hero can’t be enough
amid corrupted politics

and fierce resistance to change.

20 years ago, italy
gave another professor

a year to save her.
it didn’t work.

What you can’t do in here

is to really reform
branches of your

public apparatus
that require time to

enter into new patterns
and constant and

continuous pressure
on them, otherwise

bureaucracy will
resist following the

principal expressed
in Neapolitan,

The night will be over.

I would be very
happy if I could,

with many others, contribute at
avoiding the train derailing,

but also perhaps… changing
the course of the track

for the future and
to try to have the country

concentrate a
bit more seriously

on what would be
the place of Italy

in the world at large
in 2020, 2030.

As they say in… Italian,

this is the last
beach, huh,

For us as a multi-national,

I think for this country
as a multi-national,

because what Monti
is doing and the

way in which he’s
trying to sell the

virtues of this country
internationally

is the last attempt
that we can make.

There is an opportunity
to re-launch the country,

but we have to be very honest.

It’s almost the only chance that
we have, probably the last one,

otherwise it will be
decline, decline, decline.

To look better by 2030,

italy would need a cultural
revolution on the right

and the left.

That means replacing
media domination, lies

and patronage with
competition, truth and merit.

The decision of the
D'Alema's government

to avoid the change the
conflict of interest law

was an incredible and terrible
mistake.

There was possibilities
about the lack of…

conflict of interest law

and also the inability
to understand

the very good relation between

Italian expectations and
Berlusconi’s message.

So when you have such a
lesson of immorality

proposed as a public example of
dealing with the public affairs,

ok, you become popular. In a
sense, he was a genius.

An evil genius, but a genius.

There's he, who through
a basement of another,

hopes for supremacy.

Is it true or false that
Mr Berlusconi was able,

while Prime Minister, to
criticise, in fact dish dirt,

on many of his critics
through his own newspapers?

Or is that false?

The newspaper is, Il Giornale,

Senor Berlusconi is not
the owner of Il Giornale.

And if is his brother
is the owner…

But is he… No, no. Ah,
is very, very easy… ok.

Since televisions exist

even in other countries,

seeing as tycoons exist
also in other countries,

Berlusconi represents a model

that could be replicated
and repeated in other countries.

That’s your problem.

One of the biggest problem

of the last few years
was this hyper partisanship,

hyperpolarisation of the
society and of the politics.

The strategy to adopt
there is one of

imposing a mutual
disarmament and to

generate coalitions
of the excluded that

could help us overcome
the coalition

many times of those
resisting change,

that is the coalitions
of the incumbents.

Italy is a very fragmented

economy and a very
fragmented country.

There is the traditional
division between

north and south.

There is a division
between gender.

And there is a division
between generations, so these

division are pervasive
in our society.

We are a country that likes
gradualism, you know, but when

gradualism is… too slow, then
it create an exasperation.

Mala Italia is a land of
exasperation and division.

Italians’ fear of change
comes also from a history

of political violence.

Reformers have been shot down

in cold blood by left
wing extremists.

The state has also
played its part.

Its brutal response to
protests has provoked

distrust and
strengthened resistance.

With reforms blocked
and divisions deepening,

minds are even turning back

to the violent era
of 40 years ago.

Many believe that in those
days of the cold war,

the state murdered
its own citizens,

sometimes supported by the West.
The bitterness lingers.

For now, we near the stream of
blood where those who injure

others violently boil.

EXPLOSION

SHOT

What the Italian mafia does in
Italy, in Sicily, in Calabria

and Campania is to enforce the
contour of the territory,

so they extort, they protect,
they control access to markets.

However, once they make
all of this money in Italy,

they have to reinvest
them and so what

they’ve been doing abroad
mainly is to reinvest the money

they have gained in Italy.

So, for instance, they are
present in this country,

in the United Kingdom;

They are present
in Eastern Europe;

They are
present in North America.

This is certainly an
international problem

and it certainly requires
international cooperation,

especially tracing the money

that go from one banking
system to another.

They havea very flexibility
organisational structure

that allows them to be
present in many countries.

In Germany, of course,
as you remember,

there was a major
massacre in Duisborg

and that was extraordinary
because it meant that

the ‘Ndrangheta was able
to organise a massive

military operation in a foreign
country as part of in-fighting

originating in Calabria

but then playing out
on the European stage.

So I have the feeling
that Italy somehow allows

these organisations to operate
as a state within the state.

I think the mafia
in the north of Italy

is closely interconnected
with business.

If there are several
businesses who want

to enter a given market, what
the mafia is very good at doing

is to exclude some
and promote others.

MUSIC

I think that perhaps the
national sin of Italian women

has been to be coward, perhaps,
or not courageous enough.

Every woman in Italy, perhaps
also myself, we are in a way

afraid to lose approval and
not to be approved by man and

approval for us is a lot,
'cause this is the country of

Belladonna, Bella Figura and you
feel really alone.

Sometimes we lack determination.

We were not strong
enough to say,

“Basta.”

Not only women, because
this is an insult towards

a human being.

I think the image of women in
the media in the last, well,

ten, 15 years has been
simply devastating.

We have to be beautiful…
let’s say like

Barbies and when…
Preferably silent.

Maybe it’s better.
Yes.

On average, women in Italy are
paid one third as much as men,

but we have to
work twice as hard

and if you are not ugly,
you’re supposed to be dumb;

And if you want to
become a mother,

as most women want to naturally,

you have to think
well about this

because you might lose your job.

Yeah, things are so bad.

It’s been reported that there
are companies that,

when they hire you, they force
you to sign a resignation letter

without a date so that
if you get pregnant

you have to leave.
They call it

the most terroristic
method of contraception.

The access of women in the
labour market in my country

is simply pathetic, but
it’s also totally divided.

It is 60 per cent
again in the north,

dropping down to 30 per
cent in the south.

Ratio of occupation of
women is absolutely by far

the lowest not only in
Europe, but is one of

the lowest in the
OECD countries.

There is a problem of growth,
but there is also problem of

culture. The first priority,
the only priority

of women, is to be good
mother and a good wife.

Well, good lover if she
still has some energy;

And, if it has some time
left, going out to work.

Women in Italy are
the only effective

and existing welfare system.

If we had the same
rate of occupation

in women as average
Europe, we can have

we can have a bigger growth

of 11 point of GDP.

Everybody knows…

Yes.
…but then they resist it. Why?

So the only way, I think,
is to work with the young

generation in order to
empower them and to find

the courage to say,
“I don’t like this,

I don’t accept. I
will not vote you.”

CHANTING SLOGANS

CALLING AND CLAPPING

MUSIC

There are many horrors in
Italy, but in the south I found

a shocking case of
a failure to act

when something is clearly wrong.

For 50 years, jobs have been
traded for human lives.

TRUMPET PLAYING

MUSIC

ILVA told me that the experts’
report is full of errors.

They are fighting
the plant’s closure

or promising a clean-up.

but it’s too little too late.

To hide the metal dust
that stains the cemetery,

the council regularly repaints
it in a tasteful pink.

It was the only visible sign
the authorities gave a damn.

In the end, bad government

is to blame for letting
bad capitalism thrive.

WAVES CRASHING

Don’t dismiss it as
just Italy as usual

In the West, we’ve also
allowed our own mafias

to abuse the
collective interest.

We all have our own bad
capitalists and,

in my own London,
especially bad bankers.

ITALIAN SONG

It was from there
that we emerged

to see once more the star.

MUSIC

Love is the seed in you
of every virtue.

If they can fight back with

such love and community spirit,

thousands of other
small battalions

could also rescue Italy,

led by her most underused
resource – women.

Oh lady, you in whom my
hope gains strength.

MUSIC

SINGS "WOMEN ARE THE POWER"

Se Non Ora Quando,
that want a new

kind of participation
of women in all aspects

of society life, and they
are against the image women

that have predominated
in the past.

We have all the
political parties,

all the political
opinion inside…

…and so it’s a sort
of feeling of the nation,

of a new nation.

MUSIC

It’s typically
communist of me to ask

whether capitalism
can be good,

but there’s been so much
confusion about what to

get rid of and what to keep.

Italy pioneered
capitalism 500 years ago

and used it brilliantly
50 years ago,

but now it has crippled big
business, good or bad.

This Canadian Italian
is a hero abroad,

but in Italy he’s a villain.

We are seeing now
the excesses of…

financial engineering.

We’ve seen the fact the
engineering process has limits

and if it goes on unchecked
it can actually devastate

the industrial world,
so the new form of

capitalism that’s coming
is a healthier one, I hope.

People who engineer
that free market

have a responsibility
to keep it clean.

And that’s the thing that
people are struggling with

all the time, that they
can’t find the guilty ones.

They’re almost ethereal.
They’re somewhere else.

It’s a system that worked
and nobody owns it.

The Wall Street protestors, this
resistance that we’re seeing

across the world is the
result of an understandable

indignation to the functioning
of a market that they

just don’t get and I don’t get
it either, and I’m in it.

Your avarice afflicts the world.

It tramples on the good,
lifts up the wicked.

If your biceps are twice
the size of your legs,

you have an
unbalanced organism

that will continue to
favour the strong part

and eventually it will
make the rest wither away.

You know, we have
dehumanised free markets

and so we need to fix it.

It all started immediately
after Second World War.

Chocolate was so expensive,
it was really high end,

nobody could afford it,
at least in Italy.

We had a formula of
chocolate which were rooted

in the local community, in Alba.

And the vision
was how can we make

a new recipe which is
poor with cocoa and

rich with the nutritional
values of hazelnut?

The second medal
goes to Precossi.

He deserves it for his
homework, his lessons and

his handwriting. Everything.

My grandfather, he lived
to find this formula.

He was completely
obsessed by it.

He woke up my grandmother
at midnight,

while she was sleeping, and
making her testing this

with spoons and "how was it" and
"do you think..." and other…

and finally, he went
out with the Nutella,

which was born the same
year as I was born – 1964.

And I’m so happy now, so proud
to say that every morning

110 millions family start
up their breakfast,

set up their day,
being optimistic on life,

because at the end Nutella
is the best psychiatry

there is worldwide.

MUSIC

The first consideration is

we want to share the wealth we
produce within our community.

We feel part of the territory.
We are stable citizens of that.

And, because of these, I hope,
higher ethics, we think that

every enlighted capitalism is
a redistributing capitalism.

Business, if well operated,
has a huge contribution

to society, delivering
goods, services,

giving work.
Running properly businesses,

what effect this has
on society is immense.

Actually, family controlled
businesses are better run

than non, and this probably
is linked on one hand

to more conservatism
in the balance sheet –

they tend to have less
usage of leverage

and in a decade which
saw a lot of abuse and

financial creativity,
that has been a plus.

Western capitalism needs
some revolutionary ideas

if it is to regain our trust.
I vote for the old ones

that formed italy’s
greatest family firms –

passion, innovation,
social responsibility.

Such wonderful old-fashioned
family values of commitmen

and a long term perspective
would surely serve us better

than our new-fashioned greed.

The relation we have with
the workers is the one

of a very deep social contract
that is based on meritocracy,

that is based on transparency,
ethical commitment,

fairness of the behaviours.

Those are the values that will
come alive, not only today

but tomorrow and
will inspire us.

A very strong perspective
on the long term.

Responsibility is of making sure
to be a good owner

and being a good owner
sometimes also means

knowing when you’re no
longer the right owner.

At the 4.1 billion

that we reported
as operating profit in 2011,

not a single Euro came from
this country. Not one.

And that we have on a
combined basis more than

260,000 people worldwide,
roughly 80,000 in this country.

I cannot tell the 180,000
people who are not

that their role in life is
to subsidise an inefficient,

uncompetitive sub-optimal
set-up. I can’t.

Fiat’s past was bright,
an italian success story

based on design and innovation.

But now it’s a symbolic case
of bad industrial relations

and the decline of mass
manufacturing in italy.

Unbelievably, Britain now
makes more cars than italy,

based on foreign investment,
but also quality.

Its italian national talents
should be well suited

to the new world, which demands
innovation and creativity,

if only they would slaughter
their own sacred cows.

We are the aggregation of a
variety of global experiences,

all of which have found their
home here because Fiat is here,

and we’re making this available
to every part of the Fiat world,

whether it be Italian
or otherwise,

so to call that purely Italian
is a bit of a stretch.

Having said this, our DNA is.
Italians are very, very good

at saying we’re capable of doing
things that nobody else can see,

and that’s a unique skill.

There are very countries in
the world, very few people

that can actually design
the way Italians design.

We need to get stronger at the
those things we’re good at.

That’s crucial.

Italy is, again, a
reliable partner of this

European challenge and
that’s what makes me proud.

Yes, there is a culture;
Yes, there is a heritage;

Yes, the beauty of this country,

which is potentially the
nicest country worldwide.

But I think the new
era is based on

worldwide competitiveness and
that is the European challenge.

It’s not an Italian challenge.

He’s right. It’s a
european issue.

Let’s remember
what made us great –

our freedom to look at things
in new ways, just as dante did.

In north west italy lives
another revolutionary whose new

thinking about food is
provocative and traditional,

but also very modern.

The worldwide movement Carlo
Petrini has built is passionate,

creative and
deliciously italian.

If I go to Edinburgh, in the
farmers’ market in Edinburgh

I don’t find farmers in effect,

like old-fashioned
feudal style peasantry,

selling vegetables which are
super fresh and super delicious

and I don’t find that
and especially not

at a reasonable price.

And so I think actually some
kind of aspect of this antique

agricultural system which does
still exist here has led to the

preservation of a lot
of old food culture

and so I think it’s a
wonderfully rich food culture.

I think it does have
a lot to offer.

My optimistic side
always says that…

something of value can
come from crisis,

but I’m also not a
believer… in the automatic

recurrence of the past.

The future is always built.

I am optimistic about
Italy and remain optimistic.

I see change
as opportunity for

improvement and this
is very much what’s on the way.

MUSIC

It’s all hopeless,
I’m often told.

Nothing changes, they say,

but at least we
have our culture.

Yet I can't agree.

You can see in the
resurrection of Turin,

Fiat’s home city which
20 years ago was dying,

that change can
be achieved in italy

and it shows that culture is not
merely part of Italy's past -

it’s an asset for its future.

La Mole Antonelliana is
the symbol of the city

and we decided to have here
the National Museum of Cinema

and my perception is this is

a metaphor of the
change of Turino.

Memory, culture, creation of
jobs, image, identity and so on.

MUSIC

I believe that
words like innovation,

creativity, fantasy,
imagination are all words

that belong to our
culture and inheritance.

This isn’t just a
romantic, poetic fight

that we’re bringing on.

We actually created a
new moral for the city,

for the state, for the citizens.

To occupy something means
to take care of something

and actually in this
case it means to

take care of what is
ours, 'cause we are

performing these
plays as a comment.

This is a time to build our
future. Now. Not tomorrow.

Consider well the seat
that gave you birth.

You were not made to live
your lives as brutes,

but to be followers of
worth and knowledge.

Follow worth and knowledge.

That’s what la buona Italia does
when she's at her best.

Now she needs to stop
neglecting her culture

and fight back
against mala Italia.

Her mesmerising
history has shown

extraordinary rises
from near death

to renaissance and back again.

OPERA ARIA

How picturesque.
Beautiful, just beautiful.

MUSIC AND NEWS REPORT

My beautiful girlfriend’s in a
coma and it’s terrible to watch.

Everyone knows she is,

but no-one does
anything about it.

Who are those people
defeated by their pain?

this miserable way is
taken by those who

lived without disgrace
and without praise.

They now co-mingle with
the coward angels.

The company of those
who are not rebels

nor faithful to their god,

god, but stood apart.

The presence of the
Vatican court in Italy is,

in my opinion, the main cause
of Italian moral weakness.

It has been quite easy

for millions of Italians to
be sinners, to disregard

their civic duties, to
disregard their moral

obligations and to feel
perfectly confident

that they can obtain
eternal salvation,

thanks to the confession.

The key words are the
words of Machiavelli.

He says, “Because of
the Catholic church,

we Italians have become –
without religion and weak.”

If you are morally
weak, it’s very easy

to impose domination on you.

If you are morally weak,
you cannot be free.

Just consider the .

Who was the main moral leader?
Mazzini.

We all know that Mazzini
had a deep religiosity

inspired by Protestant
currents, .

The same is true for Cavour. The
same is true for Garibaldi.

They were all critical
of the Catholic attitude

of making deals with
those who are powerful.

The principal Italian fault is

that they don’t have the
sense of the state.

They had a state very
big, the ancient Rome.

Then it collapsed
and, for 2,000 years

the country was invaded and
governed by foreigners,

so for Italians in general the
state was the enemy,

they were the other,
not the representative

of the Italian community.

Moreover, they had inside
the country another state –

the church. It is the only
country in which there is

a fundamental political problem
with this church versus state.

The first experiences after
you leave your home turf,

it’s already a
painful experience

because of the fact that you
have to be accepted by others,

a different culture, a
different set of customs.

We’ve all lived through
this, everybody

who’s been an exile has
lived through this process.

I couldn't be doing
what I’m doing at Fiat

had I not been an exile.

The real problem is not the
brain drain in the sense of

the exit of good people.

Actually, it’s great because you
have scientists and doctors

and researchers who learn
everywhere in the world

whatever they can
in their field.

The problem is the
return ticket.

You shall leave everything
you love most dearly.

This is the arrow that the
bow of exile shoots first.

You are to know the bitter
taste of other's bread,

others’ bread, how salty it is,

and know how hard a
path it is for one

who goes descending
and descending other's stairs.

Your cappuccino, sir.

Oh, thank you. You
sound Italian.

Si, I’m Italian.

Oh, how long have
you been in London?

- Almost one year.
- Great.

Enjoy your coffee, sir.

- Thank you.
- Bye bye.

And the way I feel about
Italy after nine years,

years, having been
abroad…

…is quite painful.

I left Italy 17 years ago

and everything that happened to
my life in the last 17 years

as a woman, as an
entrepreneur, as a mother

could have never
happened in Italy.

Living in London, it’s
incredible to see all this

bright Italians
arriving to live here,

because they can’t do what
they wanna do in Italy.

What country is it that,
it’s our home country

and doesn’t give us the
opportunity to grow there.

I was studying at university
and I just spent, like, two

years after my degree waiting
for something to happen.

Nobody’s giving you even
the opportunity to try.

It makes me feel, of
course, very, very angry

and very sad because I
would love to come back,

but I can’t see anything.

I can’t stand that
decadence, you know,

that slowly-ness, the sleep or
constant sleep of people just

waiting for something to happen.

If you do anything in,
I don't know, England

or the US, then
people will say,

“Ah, wow.”

But if you do something
good in Italy nobody cares.

That’s the best that
can happen to you –

they don’t care, you know?

Or they actively
try to stop you.

Does exactly what I like in the
UK system, that meritocracy

is clearly the… quality for
which scientists are selected.

I have so many
friends around and

everyone who feels lonely
and why I can’t come back

to Rome or Italy, Milan
where I come from

would just suggest just go
and let’s come back

and let’s try to make it
work because it’s a shame.

What we’re waiting for,
this move towards a more

serious approach, is a clear
and persistent situation.

As a mother of two
young children,

I want to be able to
take them back to Italy

and show them that Italy’s a
country where they can live.

They’re half Italian,
so they belong there.

Maybe one day they will
want to go to Italy.

Maybe my children will be part
of the renaissance of Italy.

Maybe they will be the
one that will go back

and start a new phase for Italy.

Italy’s not a story of the euro,
of debt or even of crime.

It’s a story of extraordinary
potential being wasted

amid a national failure
to do anything about it.

italy must wake
up or else become

just an impoverished
tourist park.

All of us Westerners
face decline too.

We have also been letting

the immorality of the
few damage the many

amid our own Dantean Ignavia.

We too need the
courage to say basta,

or we will commit
the worst of sins

– betraying our own children.

So you’re Italian?
- Yeah.

- Oh, that’s a nice idea.

Well, lovely to talk to you.
Bye.

In you it’s to be sought.
