Quotes (About Adriano Celentano) [...] He has the right to say what he wants, and I would have defended him even if he had said that gay people should be sent to concentration camps. Quoted in Corinna De Cesare, Annunziata: Celentano? «Lo avrei difeso anche se avesse detto di sterminare i gay», Corriere.it, 24 February 2012. Lucio Dalla's funeral is one of the most striking examples of what it means to be homosexual in Italy: you go to church, they let you have a funeral, and they bury you with a Catholic service, as long as you don't say you're gay. It's a symbol of who we are: there's permissiveness, as long as you look the other way. From thee TV programme In Mezz'Ora, 4 March 2012; quoted in Paolo Conti, Annunziata e il tabù sui gay «Un' ipocrisia all'italiana», Corriere della Sera, 5 March 2012. Indeed, the Protocols have served many dictatorships, and they continue to cause harm to this day. Those pages make it clear what intellectual poisoning actually consists of: the idea that the world is not a collective creation, but merely a canvas woven by the Few and the Powerful. This concept denies the role of individual human agency in shaping history; therefore, it also denies any principle of transparency and trust, without which there can be no human community. Quoted in La paura, madre dei libri cattivi, La Stampa, 29 January 2003. [...] We European women need to start a real discussion about what immigration is bringing to our countries; about the hardship, and about the very real threats to our physical safety that we experience on the streets, on buses, and in our city neighbourhoods. Quoted in Sul corpo delle donne no pasaran, Huffington Post.it, 6 January 2016. Interviews '''Brino Volpe, Lucia Annunziata: "Io, atea devota, ammiro Benedetto XVI", Papanews.it, 27 September 2007 Pope Benedict XVI is an excellent theologian and an outstanding pastor. [...] (Abou the Italian Family Day) I took part because I believe the family is a part of humanity's heritage that deserves protection: the family is neither right-wing nor left-wing; it belongs to universal values. I remain an atheist and a Marxist, but I have the utmost appreciation for Catholic culture. La crepa Lucia Annunziata, La crepa, Rizzoli, 1998 Incipit On 5 May, the rain over Sarno was persistent, fine and warm; you sweated when you put your coat on, because, as is always the case in the South, May had already almost brought summer. There was one ominous sign, which was not paid much attention to at the time and which only resurfaces in my memory: for days, the mountain had been covered by a very dense cloud that had descended as far as its slopes. It was a cloud, not fog – which you never get around here, because the land never really cools down. A black cloud of rain, so heavy that it completely blocked the view. "If only we could have seen", many of the survivors say today. However, the mountain's long-simmering rage did not want any witnesses. This is a place of Greek myths, of anthropomorphisms that come naturally to the minds of its inhabitants: how could you not see that cloud as a sign of a murderous intent?
