SANREMO - Vince: "My Mama ... dami hundred euro in Italy volio go! "- Ah, what a beautiful view from Italy TV!
Beyond Sea, around a small screen, met every morning Ali and his friends, for the big event of the evening. Anxiously awaiting, with bated breath, everyone wondered what would have been the theme of tonight stacchetto of showgirls.
Here they are! Radiant, smiling and available in all Italian, wagging his tail waiting for a young African, or so liked to dream there.
Thanks to TV for an hour just seemed to be in Italy. But like all dreams, even this was over, and came back with my bottom on a beach in Africa, watching the sea that separates Africa from the promised land.
Money, sports cars and beautiful women. The beautiful country was there a few hours by boat and at the same time, unattainable. But thanks to Italian TV, at least, you could continue watching others eat ice cream, but unfortunately, through the window of ice cream. It's better than nothing.
Until one day everything changed.
chaos broke out in Africa, and many decided it was time to leave. The first to do it was the President of the country, who would have thought it? In many
decided that it was worth taking some risks, rather than remaining at the window for a lifetime.
And so Ali decided to go well in Italy.
It was not a real boat on which they had gone up, but noticed it only after giving all the money his mother had saved a life, the captain ... more or less the equivalent of a tank of gas in Italy.
The crossing was quick and successful. There was even a welcoming committee waiting for them in uniform, on a boat Italian military.
set foot in Italy, exhausted, but excited at the same time, because the Italian TV approached him for an 'interview! Meanwhile settle his shirt, thinking that would have seen even in Africa, asked what had come to look for in Italy. He responded with the first Italian word that came to mind:
- Freedom!
The next day he was imprisoned along with all others in a reception center, with bars like a tall minaret, which reminded him of both the African prisons. And there was no TV!
For the first time was the suspicion that not everything was better in Italy than in Africa.
But it took another to despair Ali!
After a few months there, he heard some typically use words that he did not know Italian, as "amnesty" and "political asylum", and in less than no time he found himself in open country.
And there, they offered him a job now! Italy was always surprising.
The boss was a fair person, and explained that because he came from Africa, had to be paid a salary of Africa.
logical end. Ali had nothing to object.
could also stay close to other animals in the stable, and eat everything we eat them. No limits. Other than Africa!
When asked after a few months than he had accumulated picking tomatoes, they told him that, not counting room and board, in fact it was he who had a tidy sum to the boss, and was growing by the day.
While reflecting on the peculiarities of the labor market in Italy, which had not yet entirely clear, the proposed payment of his debt of putting himself in the business.
Ali, knew the free market.
A week later, he found himself again at the center host, who had meanwhile changed its name and now called "deportation centers."
They explained that in Italy there was a law against smoking that he had broken, because you could not sell smoke, or at least do not smoke Africa. So, salary Africa, but African Smoke not!
We see that in Italy there were already enough snake oil salesmen.
Every day we discovered a new thing in the Bel Paese.
A week later, told him not to return immediately to Africa, had only one way. Write a letter and ask for pardon to the President. And he did.
"His Grace the President,
I apologize for my Italian, but I have learned to Italian TV. His TV, President. With its TV
we all feel more Italian, even in Africa. Thank you President.
Our poor country has remained without a president now. We need a new President. She Milan President, President-TV, President and Italy. Why can not also be president of Africa?!
They told me to write this letter of thanks. And I say thank you very much President! Thank you
Africa and Italy are now much closer than before. Italians also thinking the same thing. Even Italians say thanks to you ... Italy is like Africa!
problems of Italy are the problems of Africa. Very beautiful women, but too expensive! Justice that does not give you ever reason ... and referees who do not cheering for Milan!
Africa can not be without Italy, but Italy can not do without Africa.
those still kids in Italy? Who collects free tomatoes?
It 'time to celebrate, President.
And not only the victories of Milan.
I say we must celebrate the 150th anniversary of Italy ... in Africa!
In fact, thanks to you, Madam President, after 150 years, Italy and Africa are now the same thing!
President Grace! "
few days later Ali was sent off, perhaps because of all the presidents who had written, it lacked the less famous, but still ... for now, the only president of the Italian Republic.
