Well, since we are now there – even if every day it should be a April 25th! -, we want to throw our pedigree on the table too, which is then that of everyone: a partisan grandfather, one indifferent, a fascist uncle, one who died in Russia. Italy is a single great family.
Just to say that we face the resistance in front of the resistance standing, with emotion and pride. Pacification, the value of freedom, the moral redemption of a country, those things there. And it is the reason why we indignation discover that among the initiatives for the 80th anniversary of the liberation, in the program of events of the Municipality of Milan, a new experience was thrown there: the “City Escape Milano resists”, “a game that invites citizens and towns to retrace the crucial days of the resistance through an interactive narrative with an engaging style”. Wow! And how does it work? Through a specific web app, the players follow a “compelling” plot (it is written in this way) exploring streets and squares related to the partisan struggle, “interacting via chat with historical figures, collecting information” and “solving puzzles inspired by documents, places and characters of that April 1945”. Liberation as a reality show.
And speaking of puzzles. We hope that the game is useful to solve the great mystery.
That of a nation in which for twenty years they were all fascists and in the aftermath of Piazzale Loreto no one was no longer. When Oreste del Buono, with disenchanted irony, commented: “It ends up that Montanelli and Montanelli was only in Piazza Venezia.”
