"In an old tale in Verona, a city with a history po'sorniona,
two lovers went out in vain, said victims of an unhealthy love.
But no one really dies until there is one who believes in the legends.
And in fact it is said that one day in Verona,
the two lovers to come back reincarnated as unlucky in love, endlessly repeating
for their love and unfinished prohibited. "
A dense fog, at times thick, covered a silent city, now asleep for some time. Muffled sounds were running in a kind of echo frequency to art.
It is nearer and nearer. Who
his way through the humidity of a cold Christmas night, alone and trembling, could not even understand what was going. The goal was to just get away from those steps closer. Steps sconusciuti, aliens, who awakened in her ancestral fears, perhaps without foundation, or maybe not.
But who could hide behind the fog after all? Verona was a city secured. Now for the fifth consecutive year, won the award for the safest city in Italy.
- A Verona can not happen at all, - he repeated to himself penetrating the fog. A non
Verona ever happened.
only way one could be certain that nothing bad happened. And that the people had long understood. How he loved fiercely
emphasize a spot on the giant screen of the Municipality:
"In Verona nothing ever happens! "Never
nothing new. A great compromesso.Tutto under control.
Verona had been secured.
In a bookstore nearby, it still sold a few books of paper.
- Eh, - the director does - there would be the story of the epidemic. Lice damned paper! Has ruined us all. The fear of being infected by the paper has removed all the books. A guy
now gone with age, board from time, always wandered from library to Mascotte.
- but I still believe in this story of the epidemic? You disappoint me ... -
He broke suddenly at the Director. And after shooting a grin.
- Can not you see the video magazine? Since printed books have abolished two years ago, sales have exploded videolibri, you feel a casual affair? The epidemic was a stunt like all the others! The avian suinaria etc.. They had to take out the paper books to make room for those videotoccami. It was all planned. It 's the same old story. The real targets were books!
The manager said thoughtfully.
- and have the old books? There are several the new ones?
- But I've never read the new books on toccaschermi?
- Of course not. - Does the director. - As a matter of principle.
- Principles! - Snorted the old man - you know the enemy to fight! The new books are not at all like the old. Pick one at random. You'll see that it is rewritten and commented on the character of the moment. Rewritten so. Shredded, censored by the Party. They are all Bignami! But maybe it was just that ... people have less time. No! Are always rewritten with a precise goal.
The director veered fingers listening to the old man, stunned by a truth he did not want to hear. Meanwhile, the old
concluded:
- Nobody has more old books of paper at home. One guy was selling it on ebay sealed a five thousand euro! If they are not. People were afraid of the epidemic and burned them all. The Director
hearing about "fire" could not help but light up a cigarette.
- Do you realize that is like the Nazis, but now using more subtle techniques? - Incalza old. - At the time they were burning in the streets, now they have found a way to convince everyone to do it for their own good. And no one notices. Absurd!
- Well, - is the director - I've noticed me. Now we can close the Library, is not no one for months. Even the Christmas night we are empty. One by one they went well the last survivors of the epidemic employees.
- I'm talking about culture, and he thinks sales! - Chios
in the meantime the old man pulled out a yellowed cartagiornale at least ten years before. The Director
seeing blurted in surprise.
- Are you crazy? Bring an old newspaper paper in the library? And if it was infected? Can you imagine that epidemic?!
- What do you mean infection - is the old man - I just said it was all a hoax. Listen to this than what I wrote ten years ago, in 2011 ...
The Arena of Verona - Front Page
"Verona won the annual ranking as safest city in Italy. It appears there be a percentage of cameras per capita than that of the TV show "Big Brother".
The new network of cameras, dubbed "the eyes of the Mayor, will be shared on the Internet so that all citizens can monitor each other. Every citizen can look back on his neighbor, and so may be a "big brother" that protects him and follows him in every moment ... "
A girl, young and breathless, interrupted him, on entering the race in the library. And he rushed over him.
- Excuse me - whispered cautiously, - I heard say that here there are no cameras. The manager
ingaglioffò.
- Miss Sure, this is perhaps the only shop in Verona without security cameras, perhaps because we feel pretty confident the same. And then I'll tell you, if someone died from his desire to steal a book ... well, given the time ... I would not so sorry!
Miss, seemed focused on something else. But he felt that he needed to hear. Then made a sign, a guy came through the door, just as wary. And seeing her, cried:
- Giuly!
And she replied.
- Oh Romy!
The Director made two and two together.
- Romy Giuly ...? But who are you ... Juliet and Romeo?
The two did not stop to embrace others regardless of looks.
- What amazing coincidence - is the old - an engaged couple who call their Romeo and Juliet.
The two looked old enough and then muttered.
- are the nicknames that we have chosen to Feisbuk.
The old man seemed not to understand.
- Boys but from what you hide? !
- From Feisbuk! - She screamed. - If the cameras there would resume tomorrow in the sedan to all attendees. But we do not want, we can not ... our love must remain secret!
- So you're in the right place - the director is inconsolable - so nobody here never comes.
- Eh, - is the old - it's hard to keep secrets these days. If someone has something to hide, it is certainly a dangerous individual. If they are two, is a criminal!
- But we want to just stay a little 'alone!
- Alone ... - laughs the old - by now be alone is a crime. The authorities must know what you're doing, where you are, and where to go. E 'for your protection of course! - Completed melancholy. - If anyone knows where you are, it means that something bad happened to you ...
- But why? - He broke Giuly.
- I do not know - does the old man - but I remember that before the invention cell phones, no one knew what they were doing or where they were, friends, wives, sons and lovers, and survived the same idea, even for days. Now if someone does not respond to phone twice in a row, you immediately think of the catastrophe! Now the world is so, there is no going back.
- No! - He broke Giuly desperate - I, I ... I turn off the phone!
- Me too! - It appends Romeo, dominated by Beautiful Veronese. - That's it!
- Mercy! - It's the manager - we will find the library full of cops, ambulances, reporters and onlookers in no time! They must remain on or triggered the alarm! On again!
"In the name of which resembles a square lawn,
without a single blade of grass will be trampled,
a forest of giant screens flashed instantly
with pictures of the two lovers, and below the inscription Wanted ... "
- My God we're finished! You are already on all screens with the logo "Who has seen"! If you are here I will close the library for an excuse, like they did with all the others that have not failed before. Soon hide! No, not in the department Bignami! Best in 'area "Books", there is not no one to enter a couple of years ...
Meanwhile on Feisbuk had already created a group Search Romy and Giuly with at least 1,500 members. The first whistle-blowers were not slow to reveal that was a matter of elopement. And in less than no time the library was surrounded by a detachment of special forces assault, thrilled to have something to do in the city where nothing ever happened.
- My God! We are surrounded! - He broke the director - this time is the end, closing the library because I have given asylum to two ... two ... but now that I think, what exactly did these two, anyway?!
- I do not know, - said the old man - but if Chiuduno the library, I might as well suicide. I do not know where to go!
- And we will same! - Cried the two lovers of Verona from the antrum dusty.
- Come on now do not overdo it! - The manager said to calm the situation.
- We said in a virtual sense. We are lovers, not heroes. - Replica cold Giuly. "Let's do it together Romy, are you ready?".
- Well - he replied pulling the Pcfonino. - Within two minutes we will be erased from Feisbuk, once and for all. No longer exist! And finally we'll be alone.
"The joints of love are not allowed, you must first update your status on Feisbuk. - Yells a voice from the outside public address system.
- But I am already betrothed to another ... - Giuly
ago - Well .. really .. I - Boffonchia Romy.
After a moment of reflection Giuly screamed.
- We just wanted to spend some 'alone, if this is not possible, then .. goodbye!
And with that they disappeared from the network.
Meanwhile outside the library had formed a knot of curious people, and in the front row were all former employees of the library still alive. They also shook their heads to see what had become their library.
- A nest of rebels! - He broke a guy dressed as Lenin. - See how they fell! Luckily, I have fired ten years ago. Will the end of that connects the bus suffered, according to the official version, is came under a bus just to take a closer look ... crap! E 'was suicide, absolutely! Not so, Don Mauro?
- Ah, I do not deal with politics. I am pleased to have got the votes, without entering politics, excuse the pun! Since they are no longer in bookstores, I see things in a different light ... you know, I do not want to end up like that master of subversive yoga, poor man.
- Yes, - is the other - unfortunately, seems to have fallen asleep during a head down position. He was an idealist. Moreover, go against the Party ...
- The Party Of Feisbuk! A true Socialist Network! Not since the days of Communism there was a more direct form of government and socialist. Long live the PDF! - It's Lenin.
Meanwhile, a gang of former employees, acidognole, and on the sidelines, spoke ill of the Director.
- .. but epidemic! E'da new director when he arrived that things started to go to hell! After all what you could expect from someone who went around to open new libraries ... and incidentally, closed after six months?! And now it's been the last while it lasts ...
Meanwhile, Sfregola hands to the cold, it became the conductor of the new Web TV "Feisbuk Verona," even he, a former employee of the library, and recently in the affiliated party.
"Well, well ... "she said continuing to Sfregola even before the mega screens. "With DemoFeisbuk, you can leave the choice to the people on the love story of Romy and Giuly. Press the "I like" to forgive, or on the "I do not like" to leave them to their fate. Direct democracy is the only true form of justice. A jury of millions of voters live on TV! Dear telespettari, the question then is democracy today: You want to free the pair "Romy and Giuly?
win clearly the "I like it! The two lovers of Verona are rewarded with a special appearance at the 22nd edition of Big Brother!
- How nice! We're famous! - Giuly said.
- But we just wanted to spend some 'alone?! - Ask Romy so.
- Oh yes ... - echoes Giuly, adjusting her cleavage for the cameras - love is always love ... but the success is your success!
Meanwhile, away from the cameras on live TV, the new Director was dragged off by two thugs, while former colleagues additive merciless
"Look at how you tremble!"
"Serves them right!"
"It has legs that make James-James ... ah, ah, ah! "
But with a last flash, the director turned the card the door of the library, where he remained says "Out for a while ... even if the small group of former employees, many were not willing to believe it ...
