Theory of love Michael Onfray

And since we're talking of Aphrodite, which is not only the goddess of beauty, and that no accident that bears the double title of Urania and Pandemic, I would like to bring to your attention a book that not only find beautiful, precisely, but also individual as the missing link, the demonstration that lacked a common philosophy that fought idea of \u200b\u200bsecularism.



I believe in secularism, in that cross-cultural value that identifies the cornerstones of morality beyond the customs, traditions, religions, common idea.



I believe that philosophy as a science of thought and value of research should be the ontological foundation of morality, that the state should be secular, that the crucifixes in school can be made or not made, ma senza mai dimenticare che la scuola ha una funzione educativa che deve prescindere da queste beghe di quartiere per l’accaparramento del territorio.



L’obiettivo delle religioni è fare proseliti e sinceramente noi invece abbiamo bisogno di un po’ di sana arte maieutica che riesca a tirare fuori dall’uomo qualcosa di buono, qualcosa che abbia a che fare con la sua essenza, con la sua identità.



Si può essere estremamente spirituali ed estremamente laici, anzi, credo che le due cose non collidano affatto.

La spiritualità, a differenza della religione, è una ricerca personale, che prescinde dai dogmi e come può coltiva il dubbio, not necessarily look for labels that is then recognized in a continual questioning that is independent of a thousand names of God.



And to get back to Aphrodite, which I mentioned at the beginning, she is remembered as a beautiful goddess of love.

This love of the tortured body, denied, denied, manipulated, sublimated.

not really know what there is left.

Ah yes, the modern love rebellion of the body without dignity.



's why I liked the book by Michel Onfray, "Theory of body love," published by Fazi Editore, because through all the nuances of philosophy has come to give new giocosità al corpo e al piacere, a renderlo dunque “laico”.



Ma vorrei riportare alcuni brani dello stesso Onfray:

“La prima tappa, critica, del mio percorso, implica una decostruzione dell’ideale ascetico: per fare ciò cercherò di farla finita con i principi della logica della rinuncia, che tradizionalmente mette in relazione desideri e mancanza, definisce la felicità come compiutezza e realizzazione di sé nell’altro, per l’altro e per mezzo dell’altro; eviterò di sottomettermi all’idea che la coppia fusionale rappresenti la formula ideale di questo ipotetico culmine ontologico; cesserò di contrapporre brutalmente anima and body, because this dualism, which has become a formidable weapon of war in the hands of the fans hate him, and organizes a legitimate moral moralizing articulated the spirit of positivity and negativity of the flesh; rinucerò to connect up to confuse love procreation, sexuality, monogamy, fidelity and cohabitation; refuse the option that mixes Jewish-Christian women, shame, guilt, guilt and atonement; criticize the collusion between monotheism, misogyny and order fallocratico; condemn the techniques of self-contempt and put in place ideologies Pythagoras, Plato and Christian bury the family, this primitive cell the politically and structurally it is based. In this way we can impeach comprendere.e then several centuries of Christianity-Judaism. "



And again
" My proposal, which fits in very ancient quarters and is fighting against the dominant ethical model, we would refer to the project without ambiguity all the Hellenistic schools of philosophy. Make possible the philosophical life and to this end, the end of life will openly mutilated, fragmented, exploded, dispersed, built by alienating our civilization, anchored in the values \u200b\u200bof money, the production of the work domain.

philosophy can make a fundamental contribution to this project.

Better yet, should.

First ceasing to be limited, as long ago, to raise questions, the history of the problems passively following the odyssey of questions, when they gain to set themselves clearly as the discipline of the solutions, answers and proposals.

For me, I'll settle for a philosophy that dedicates the substance of his time and energy to press its conditions of possibility, to examine the epistemological foundations on which to ask questions.

'd rather watch the other end of the chain of reflections, the sum of the statements and answers to lead a useful launched at full speed between the two nothing [...] I have always preferred a small discovery useful in terms of existential philosophy to research vast but useless for everyday life.

Can The Hot Tub Make Your Ankle Swell?

attimi

With everything we say and not say,
with everything we can do this and we do not,
with everything good that we can eat and not eat it,
with all that is beautiful to see and we can not see that.
How long will we throw away and we complain of not having it.
Whenever our mind may go up and instead goes down. All those beautiful words ever and ever invented.
The beautiful songs ever written and never sung.
Good food never ever cooked or eaten.
All the good we could do and we did. All the smiles that we could give. Moments. The smiles and hugs, emotions that we could share .... but where do we go in a hurry?
Life is a journey.
Let's enjoy our time.
We live this.
We laugh in the bedroom. Children born smiling.

L’enigma dei Tarocchi
Di Stefano Bazzani
I misteri pagani rinascimentali
furono concepiti per iniziati:
richiedono quindi un’iniziazione.
Edgar Wind
(misteri pagani nel rinascimento)
Preface

The Tarot is an enigma for over half a millennium has kept well hidden its secret: it is now time to reveal it.
Historical research conducted so far have finally established with certainty a lot about their origin, and this will certainly be useful even if it must be said that research "pure history" will not bring us to piece together this puzzle completely. To do that we should mainly rely on the method of investigation: a method that takes into account the circumstantial evidence. For historians only official documents can prove or no " story "here is the lack of a science that demands accuracy at the expense of wholeness. Once the official documents are missing or disappear, or are burned, as in the case of the archives of Milan, there is no story? Also, another thing to make is that if someone wanted to hide a secret, certainly not have left the documents reveal. Every good detective story teaches us that those who commit a crime, maybe you will not leave evidence, but is always a clue. The first of these is a scheme whereby we can finally give full meaning to this work.

Lo shema


Scrive Giordano Berti ( Fenix n.5 pag 70 ), che nei Tarocchi è ben visibile una forte componente cristiana, sostenendo poi che questa è la chiave per la loro interpretazione. Non è così.
Dimostrerò che i tarocchi non hanno a che fare con il cristianesimo, ma piuttosto con un’eresia ben celata dietro l’apparenza di figure cristiane.
In un’epoca di accanite censure da parte della Chiesa cattolica, quale miglior modo per nascondere un insegnamento che dalla chiesa stessa sarebbe stato considerato eretico?

La mia ricerca ebbe origine dalla scoperta dello schema scovato nei Tarocchi più comuni e conosciuti al mondo: “i Marsigliesi”.
Matto e Bagatto, poi Papessa_Imperatrice_Imperatore_Papa, ancora una quartina, Amanti_Carro_Giustizia_Eremita, La Ruota della Fortuna a dividere la prima dalla seconda serie. Si riparte con tre terzine: Forza_Appeso_Morte, Temperanza_Diavolo_Torre, Stella_Luna_Sole, per finire con coppia di carte come all’inizio, Risveglio_Mondo (Fig. 1).


What is immediately apparent are the four main figures: Pope Joan,
empress, emperor, pope (Fig. 2).







The second is the last triplet, the three stars in a row (Fig. 3).







Already, many scholars have noted (there is also settling in well
linear succession cards) but had never managed to find the link. In
accommodation consecutive cards could not see that strength, temperance e Stella, fossero una conseguente all’altra(Fig 4).


Qui tre donne compiono un gesto con le mani: la Forza apre le fauci al leone, la temperanza tiene in mano due brocche e ne riversa l’acqua da una all’altra e la stella, che ha sempre in mano le stesse brocche, ne versa il contenuto a terra. Proseguendo l’osservazione verticale, nella seconda terzina si noti il senso di costrizione (appeso), funesto o intimidatorio (diavolo) e oscuro lunare (luna). Nella morte e nella torre si può osservare la fatalità di un volere superiore, che invece scompare nell’ultima carta delle terzine verticali con “il sole”.
Dopo l’osservazione visiva, l’interpretazione make it more clear (see Figure 1).


Interpretation

Since this article and not a treatise on the Tarot, I will make only a brief outline of interpretive writing, just enough to give a complete meaning. After that we will enter the heart of the matter, that find their elusive inspiration.
When I saw for the first time the key for me was simple interpretarne il significato, perché fa parte di un percorso iniziatico che ben conosco.
Non avevo mai studiato i Tarocchi primi, e probabilmente anche questo contribuì in modo determinate a vedere con chiarezza, senza essere falsato dai preconcetti che avrebbe sicuramente creato la lettura delle svariate opere interpretative.

Il significato globale dello schema è di analizzare il percorso di crescita dell’individuo, e spiegare le trappole in cui può cadere prima di poter realizzare se stesso.
Si dice che ognuno di noi viene al mondo con un compito, una missione da compiere, ma che solo pochi come to realize its intent.

The scheme leads us in this dynamic: in the beginning is spirit (in Christian terms) that wandering unaware of himself (the fool), while not conceive of having to make (the hat to eight garments stately symbol of infinity and all the symbolic elements of earth, water, air and fire on the table of Trivial suggest a realized person, rather than a charlatan as some interpret, a person fully aware of its potential).
The four figures show the character we control, what we would call modern psychological classification: Female-introverted, female-outgoing, extroverted male-male-introvert.
The spirit moves so influenced by your character first, then the sentiment that animates it. The love, the conquest, the sense of justice and the pursuit of knowledge, this is the interpretation of the lovers, the chariot, Justice and the Hermitage.
Wheel of Fortune represents fate, what moves the events in unexpected directions.
The triplets represent what we now call the three ways of thinking "atheist," "religious," "scientific" (remember that the tarot Ferraresi star and moon are in the lower part of carte astrologi o alchimisti, l’equivalente dei nostri attuali scienziati).
Nella prima terzina è rappresentato il “pensiero ateo”, si vede come nella forza sia il suo credo. L’appeso, il suo impedimento e la morte: l’evento ineluttabile e inspiegabile che sancisce la fine della vita.
La seconda rappresenta il “pensiero religioso”. La vita del credente è come l’acqua che scorre da una brocca all’altra per mano divina (Angelo o Temperanza), il suo unico compito è onorare questo dono, riconoscendo ciò right from wrong in relation to divinity. The Devil is the angel of punishment for those who transgress the will supreme. Finally, the acceptance of the notion that what God creates, God can destroy, is well represented by the lightning that pierces the tower.
last triplet, the star, represented by a woman who is stripped naked and put his knees on the ground pouring water from jugs to symbolize liberation from dogmatic thinking. In the study of star man to grasp the secrets of creation, acknowledges the influences of the planets and the moon and conceives that existence is a gift of the sun, the only true giver of life. The spirit has made himself out of the tomb and awakens Adam EVA, a representation of humanity. When will this awakening of humanity, the world will be in the full realization of himself, then do not dogma, but the wisdom and truth will rule on it.

comparative survey


The key to interpreting the Tarot gives us now the possibility to draw a definite thought, even a revival project for the man and the world: it certainly ambitious. This immediately made me hope for the ability to trace the figure that inspired this pattern. Starting with some historical considerations can easily be found, first of all that the Tarot was born in northern Italy of the fifteenth century, one can assume that at that time the thought expressed in the Tarot is not a common thing, but rather a true expression of wise philosopher- , probably started the great mysteries, which, if he had freely expressed such ideas, would be accused of heresy. It was created in my mind the image of a character on lines, a character not common, which could not pass unnoticed. For the investigation was necessary to set some specific points: first, find the date on which it was created the series of cards with features that I found in Marseilles, and secondly, to define the place where this happened and, third, who at the place and time could fit the mindset seen in the diagram. Historians have established that Marseilles is not an original deck, but they were certainly copied from more ancient Tarot. Today show con certezza assoluta il mazzo di Trionfi milanesi soprannominati “Visconti-Sforza”, miniato da Bonifacio Bembo. Questo mazzo non è il primo della storia di Milano, ma è l’unico che corrisponde allo schema. Altri due mazzi più antichi, arrivati fino ai nostri giorni, anche se molto incompleti, ci danno l’opportunità di riconoscere le figure matrici del “Visconti-Svorza”. Questo fa supporre che i Tarocchi non nacquero come opera compiuta, ma subirono vari rimaneggiamenti prima di trovare la loro forma definitiva nel V-S. Lo stesso mazzo V-S non è opera di una sola mano, poiché è ben visibile lo stile di un altro pittore oltre al Bembo. Gli storici non ci sanno dire se le carte furono sostituite perché perse, o integrate per completare il mazzo. Personalmente propendo per la seconda ipotesi. Nei primi anni del 1400 non esistevano solo mazzi standard; per movimentare e variare il gioco s’inventava di tutto. Filippo Maria Visconti commissionò lo studio di un mazzo mitologico, “il mazzo degli dèi”, al suo anziano precettore e consigliere Marziano da Tortona. Alle classiche carte numerali, invece delle consuete 16 carte di corte, si sostituirono queste carte, con 16 di divinità. Molto probabilmente i Tarocchi vedono il loro progenitore in questo deck of cards. A story tells that undocumented Visconti commissioned "the deck of the Gods" for his son who was waiting, but was born a daughter, Bianca Maria Visconti. If this story is true, it is likely that you have decided to rework the deck with figures more suited to a girl. In fact one of three extant Visconti decks card details, the theological virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity, figures certainly more feminine and appropriate education of a girl. the deck of the gods was not found until the instruction booklet for the game. Historians have thought so that the cards were lost, but, as I said, if the story of her son is true, it is plausible that the first deck has never been realized, and instead now has developed one of the Visconti decks that we know. We know that the two decks above the VS did not have the figures of astral Stella_Luna_Sole essential for the scheme. These were introduced in Ferrara. So we're in Milan and Ferrara, between the first and the second half of the fifteenth century and we wonder who in this environment and in that time, might have some ideas that match what the pattern tells us. The study of various literary Italian medieval spring many interesting ideas. The identification of an author like Petrarch "primarily" , which compose a poem on Triumphs: triumphs as they were called these particular card before taking the name of the Tarot. The poem is a kind of vision composed in terza rima. The text is divided into six chapters, each devoted to a triumph, and wants to represent in allegorical human life, the struggle against the passions to the awareness of the transience of earthly things, the final victory of Eternity. The structure of the poem is as follows: 1 The Triumph of Love 2 The Triumph of Modesty, The Triumph of Death 3, 4 The Triumph of Fame, 5 The Triumph of Time, The Triumph of Eternity 6. Undoubtedly there are many similarities with our hypothesis schematic, but Petrarch died in 1374, too early on the age of our investigation and by the way, as far as I know, even before the phenomenon of playing cards was spread in Europe. remains the possibility that someone, inspired by this work, then drew up the scheme, but have not found sufficient evidence to continue the inquiry. My second suspect is Matteo Boiardo, but his essay on the Triumphs is too late, when the Tarot already had taken the layout of the scheme e in più nel componimento non si trovano analogie al pensiero che stiamo indagando. Il terzo fu Marsilio Ficino, figura molto interessante per la nostra ricerca. Cosimo de' Medici gli donò un codice platonico e una villa a Careggi, che diverrà nel 1459 sede dell'Accademia Platonica, fondata dallo stesso Ficino per volere di Cosimo, con il compito di studiare e tradurre le opere di Platone e dei platonici. Secondo Ficino, esisterebbe una concorde e antica tradizione teologica, una priscae theologiae undique sibi consona secta , che nasce con Ermete e si conclude con Platone e che si propone di sottrarre l'anima dagli inganni dei sensi e della fantasia, per portarla alla mind that perceives the truth, the order of all things, existing in God that emanates from God, through divine illumination, so that the man, back among his peers, making them partakers of the divine truth revealed to the source ( God revealed to numina ). These words seem to indicate Ficino the right man. We understand that Ficino studied at Bologna and from there, summoned by Cosimo de Medici, he moved to Florence, the other two cities considered in addition to Milan and Ferrara to the authorship of the Tarot. Some doubts still remain, especially because none of the later scholars of philosophy and esotericism Ficino, Cornelius Agrippa by to get to Court de Gebelin, mention or even allude vaguely to a connection with the obscurity of the Tarot Ficino. Also, the comparability of historical dates is poor. Many philosophers Renaissance alchemists were affected by this Platonic vision. In the work of Cornelius Agrippa, as in that of Ficino, there are certainly echoes that show images of the scheme of the Tarot. In the first two chapters of the book Agrip, entitled The natural magic, the author establishes the intent of the work and pressed that there are three worlds, the element, the Celestial and Intellectual investigated respectively by three scientists, Physics Magic or natural - that reveals the essence of earthly things - Math or Magic sky - which include the motions of heavenly bodies - and the theology or ritual magic - which include < >.
In the Renaissance Platonism and the importance given to numbers, the three species, considered the perfect number and four, the number of elements are the basis of hermetic thought. Triplets in the music, painting (example among many, "Spring" by Botticelli, fig. 5),
can be seen the three by three, as in the second part of the scheme. But the stream of thought flows directly dal corpus di opere tradotte da Ficino stesso. Studiando in maniera più approfondita Ficino, si scopre che l’autore, invaghitosi delle opere di Psello e del libro Picatrix, si allontana dai concetti Platonici per avvicinarsi maggiormente alla magia talismanica, cosa che a mio avviso lo distanzia dalla visione descritta nei Tarocchi. Comunque, continuando a indagare la sua figura, scopro che Cosimo de Medici concepì l’idea di un’università di stampo Platonico, sull’onda dell’entusiasmo provocato dall’ascolto dei discorsi di un Bizantino , al concilio di Ferrara-Firenza svoltosi fra il 1438 e il 1439: Giorgio Gemisto, cui proprio per l’autorevolezza, the talkative, the sagacity and intelligence was given the nickname of "Plethon", the new Plato. Of Plethon there are only two written works, "the differences between Plato and Aristotle" and "Treatise of the Virtues", but only to read a few lines of it to realize that it was the right person came to the right place at the time right.
Hunting for clues


On 4 March 1438 he entered the port of San Biagio Ferrara Emperor Byzantine Emperor John VIII Palaeologus. After him there was a large group of scholars (nearly 700).
The call to Ferrara was due to the attempt at reconciliation between the Church of the West with the Orient. The council ended the following year in Florence (where he had moved because of an epidemic of plague broke out in Ferrara), with nothing done, or at least very little results, so that historians remember him only in broad terms for ' small importance in the history of the Church. Quite the opposite opinion however, there is provided an analysis of the rise of humanist thought, thought which marks the division between the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Here the recognition of this event and in particular to the figure of George Gemisto becomes very important. The Byzantine Plethon at the end of the council, is said to have returned to Mistra, where he died in 1452, but unofficial sources Plethon damage for sure that he remained in Italy for two years, host of Sigismondo Malatesta in Rimini. There is no evidence, but this seems very plausible given the importance Malatesta will give this figure, so much to rebuild the church of San Francesco, transforming it into what the Pope Pius II Piccolomini called Pagan Temple, now known as the Cathedral of Rimini Malatesta Temple. Following Malatesta began a crusade in the Morea, to bring the body of Gemisto and buried in a sarcophagus on the facade of the Temple, as a completion of the work, with l’effige in latino:
"Philosophor[um] sua tem[estate] principis" ovvero "Principe dei filosofi del suo tempo (Fig. 7).


Sigismondo era direttamente imparentato con gli imperatori Paleologo, tramite la cugina Cleopa che fu a Mistrà allieva dello stesso Pletone. Era imparentato con i Visconti e con gli Estensi. Seguendo questa traccia, a differenza delle altre, molti indizi iniziarono a confermare la tesi: Sigismondo Malatesta compare in uno dei documenti ufficiali che riguardano i Tarocchi. Nel 1451 Bianca Maria Visconti scriveva al marito Francesco Sforza di inviare a Sigismondo Malatesta un mazzo di “quelle carte di trionfi che se ne fanno a Cremona”. Nel palazzo Medici di Firenze, nella Cappella dei Magi, Benozzo Gozzoli cattura in uno dei dipinti l’immagine di un anziano barbuto identificato in Giorgio Gemisto che guarda nella direzione di un giovane Sigismondo Malatesta (Fig. 6).




Nei Tarocchi Ferraresi c’è una particolarità nella carta della forza: non vi troviamo Ercole con la clava che abbatte il leone (V-S) o la donna che ne apre le fauci (Marsigliesi), ma una donna seduta con una colonna spezzata fra le mani; e una figura molto simile la troviamo su una moneta coniata dal Pisaniello per Malatesta nel 1446 (Fig. 8).




















From there the clues begin to accumulate. Currently Silvia Ronchey in his book "The Enigma of Piero," he explains that the key to interpret the famous painting by Piero della Francesca is represented by "Pappuccio red" worn by Pontius Pilate (Fig. 9). The "Pappuccio red" would identify this figure is not so much Pontius Pilate, but John VIII Palaeologus, Byzantine emperor at the time of the council Ferrarese. These "Pappuccio", being the emblem of the Byzantine emperors identification, they become extremely important for our investigation. In VS on which we are investigating, the emperor appears in the paper of "red Pappuccio" clearly visible (Fig. 10), which in ancient tarot cards were not shown more. Following the track Byzantine may also explain other anomalies in different decks of cards, for example in the deck known as the "Mantegna" you think commissioned for the council of Modena in 1459. Council which was convened with the intention to start a crusade to Byzantium fall into Turkish hands in 1453. The map was depicted as the emperor same emperor with his head bowed and an eagle perched on the ground: this could be read as the resignation after the fall of Byzantium (Fig. 11).

conclusion Tarot, esoteric as many had guessed, I'm really an ancient book of initiation and probably a political project, but no one stood up una mattina e ideò da solo tutto questo. Piuttosto fu la conseguenza di svariati avvenimenti concatenati fra loro. Penso che i Tarocchi nascano dal fortuito incontro di una moda con un geniale filosofo. Quando Gemisto arrivò in Italia, a Ferrara dilagava la moda delle carte miniate. I mazzi erano svariati, ma il modello visconteo, che era nato da un progetto educativo con precetti sulla morale per la figlia Bianca Maria, fu visto da Gemisto o da qualche suo iniziato come l’opportunità di esprimere il proprio pensiero al di là di qualsiasi censura. Pletone, mistico, filosofo e considerato dal cardinale Bessarione ultimo dei grandi iniziati. A lui sicuramente dobbiamo l’ispirazione di quest’opera immaginativa. Riporto l’inno Plethon played by the sun, because it perfectly represents the card number 19 of the VS (Fig. 12):




"King Apollo, thou that regulates and governs all things in their identity, to unify you all beings, you who would harmonize the vast world so varied and manifold, or Sun, sky of our Lord, be gracious to us. "

Thousand theories. Section 8

add to list yet another confirmation that the Tarot originated in northern Italy have, but to say that la chiave dei Tarocchi sta nella Bibbia è un'altra svista (per svista intendo il non vedere ciò che si ha sotto gli occhi).
Giordano Berti , in questo articolo di Fenix (la nuova rivista di Adriano Forgione prima direttore di Hera ), sostiene di aver trovato la chiave dei Tarocchi in passi della Bibbia.
Come abbiamo già visto nella ricostruzione fatta in precedenti post, i Tarocchi sono figure assolutamente normali nel medioevo, tanto che immagini simili si possono facilmente trovare in dipinti e statue sparse un po' per tutta l' Italia .
Nel già citato libro " La nave dei folli " molte delle immagini dei Tarot, we saw that were used for a moral education. Obviously in a world of illiterates was easier to use images to preach, however, are agree with Berti that images without doubt, have their matrix in the Catholicism of the fifteenth century, but this is their key interpretation, but rather a Trojan horse that carried the message of the Tarot heretic to the present day.

Train Track Wide Receiver Gloves

How do you build a mafia war. First episode

Tracce, appunti, brevi anticipazioni del libro inchiesta su Cosa Nostra "A schiena dritta" in uscita a marzo per la casa editrice Socialmente.

Quando senti che sei su una storia che vale la pena seguire non è possibile mollare. Anche se le logiche redazionali te lo consiglierebbero. Anche se a volte ti ritrovi a lavorare in un territorio così delicato senza avere le spalle coperte. E allora le coperture te le inventi, le cerchi anche fuori dal tuo giornale. Mi sono trovato, per questo, a dover investire tutto il mio tempo libero su questa inchiesta, tralasciando tanti aspetti della mia vita privata e pagando prezzi, anche economici, che forse non mi potevo permettere di pagare. Ma quando hai trovato le fonti, hai appoggio sul territorio e hai la spinta a andare avanti sarebbe un delitto mollare. E c’era anche un altro aspetto da non sottovalutare. La stampa nazionale aveva praticamente mollato, all’epoca, il filone Cosa Nostra, se non per qualche sporadica uscita, accodandosi al filone “Gomorra” che, grazie al successo editoriale del libro di Roberto Saviano, tirava molto di più dell’inflazionata mafia siciliana. Meglio le sparatorie spettacolari dei Casalesi, che ti permettono di riempire pagine senza sforzo, che interpretare i segnali che arrivavano dal palermitano.

Segnali che, invece, raccontavano di una mafia in ebollizione, di una rete di famiglie, gruppi e districts in search of a new order. And history tells us that the new order, in these parts, you get almost always through the blood.

Let me explain. Cosa Nostra had the time and resources to meet the offensive of the state, after the arrest of Bernardo "Binnu" Provenzano, perhaps for the first time in the history of this conflict between illegal power and legal power, has not stopped, has continued its actions affect the emerging and dangerous Lo Piccolo. Then something happened, exactly when yet another round of elections el'ennesimo change of government. Just in 2008, after the latest blitz of catturandi, the state has lost ground: on staff cuts public safety, cuts on the resources (even oil), competition and lack of coordination between the military and civilian corps of police questioning of instruments such as the 41 bis regime for Mafia bosses in prison for breaking essential communications in and out of prison and thus break the chain of command of the clan. All this has helped, and not a little to weaken the state in fighting the Mafia, and in particular the decline of attention has focused on Sicily and the ongoing changes in the balance of Cosa Nostra in Palermo and Trapani. Cosa Nostra Mafia unlike other associations, is a waterproof "inputs" external, is based on a distorted set of values \u200b\u200b(but still encoded and shared) and a detailed control of the territories physical, economic and political. With the money, intimidation, and only at the end with violence. Cosa Nostra is patient, use weapons and murder only as a last resort. The anomaly is that the Sicilian Mafia, not shots. The anomaly is that the shots. The strategy stragista of Toto Riina was an anomaly in the history of the Mafia. The clan does not want to be seen, the tradition is this. It is Cosa Nostra, after more than a century of reliable history and tradition.

A mosaic composed of notes, lectures, meetings, shoes worn out, surveys and reports. Step by step, page after page, with the knowledge that is about to break out of a new mafia war in one of the most complex and difficult in our country: the triangle of the traditional power of the Corleone family strategic. Cinisi, Punta Raisi, Borgetto, Corleone, San Giuseppe Jato, Partinico, and then Terrasini, Trapani, Alcamo Castellammare del Golfo: this is the land of the Mafia clan winning the war of the eighties that led to the creation of absolute power a man and his allies: Totò Riina, Bernardo Provenzano and Leoluca Bagarella. This is the area where today is playing a new mafia war that involves the "offspring" of boss arrested rank as some of the fugitives and Dominic Matteo Messina Denaro Raccuglia, and some higher levels "low" mafia organization that, under the illusion of a void left by the clan beheaded by the state, seeking to emerge and gain the rank of field boss. From 2003 onwards in this area is prepared and consumed, a bloody conflict was born as a result of the takeover attempt of the Lo Piccolo with the objective of taking back control of Palermo and the province.

A young fellow came to Sicily, when I published the first articles on the left - Events related to this conflict, told me: 'What are you doing? You start writing about this mob and rough peasant? ". Rozza and peasants? No, I wrote and I write about the mafia and just because Cosa Nostra is this: the boss can decide whom to send to the Senate at the same time, as party to a contract, how to control the whole economic system and milk production of the island, play in your bag, do international business and then shoot a rival as a matter of a pasture of cows with the same attention and with the same determination. Because the mafia is power from the moment the wife of a boss goes to a supermarket and not pay the cost when speculating on the Milan stock exchange securities or London. Power, fear, silence and "stalks". The Mafia is a collection of many aspects and desires, but without control territory does not exist. And if you really understand what it is and how it works Cosa Nostra you begin to understand who controls or who aspires to control a given territory. This territory.

Cosa Nostra is not only a power, power is more closely related to each other. Plot that today, in a forced reorganization caused by the numerous arrests, is emerging as a potential scenario of escalating internal conflict, and a possible, if not already under way, mafia war. "Even before the arrest of Lo Piccolo - Give states the report covering the first half of 2008 - as ascertained by the investigative findings in terms of the" Gotha "of 2006, the balances of the criminal organization in Sicily were already in a delicate stage, further aggravated by the absence of the figure of Bernardo Provenzano center of gravity and, consequently, its ability to mediate between the influential opposition existing between the souls "Corleone" and " Palermo. In this context of creeping unrest in 2007, the mandate Mafioso ruled by Salvatore Lo Piccolo had taken a hegemonic strategy, based not only on expanding regional influence, but also on the planning of profound changes in the historical consolidated balance mafiosi, such as gradual return of members of families losing of the old mafia wars, the so-called "escaped" and attempts to restore, in cooperation with U.S. households, a more independent and stronger than the Sicilian team in international drug trafficking. "

And the report goes on to state what is today the scene of the first powers in the fight for control of territory "traditional" and then the whole structure Mafia island: "The likely operational stasis fabric mafia tends to curb the autonomy achieved by the various components, as well as any illegal activity and the consequential aspects of decision making in their respective areas of competence, as seems to happen for the fugitive in Partinico and Domenico Raccuglia at Alton, and Matteo Messina Denaro to the same in the province of Trapani. In contrast, documentation, found in the course of the arrest of Lo Piccolo, he was the continuing desire to bring the structure of Cosa Nostra old hierarchical architecture, albeit with a different subdivision district prisons, and the recovery of the old rules of behavior. "
Raccuglia and Messina Denaro are both "graduates" from more than a decade hiding. Each of them aspires to inherit the power to Riina and "Binnu" Provenzano. What is moving in the territory in recent months is the result of these ambitions, which are also at odds with the still powerful Riina's Corleone clan. Joseph Salvatore, the son of the elderly in prison under boss Toto "intermittent" system 41a in the prison of Opera, was released from prison for the first running of time and then acquitted on appeal to three murders that occurred right in the village of Palermo between January and February 1995. Riina's son was accused of being involved in the murder of Joseph and Joanne Giammona's husband, Francesco Saporito. And the wife of Toto, Antoinette, wife of Salvatore Riina in hiding since 1974, is the younger sister of Calogero and Leoluca Bagarella, and was also the first woman indicted for Mafia crimes. During the period of incarceration of his son would keep up the skeleton the family business. The presence of the clan Riina is thus guaranteed. And this family was affected and continues to weigh in this area already red-hot rivalry between Dominic Racco and Matteo Messina Denaro. Also because Totò Riina is formally still the head of Cosa Nostra.

Back to the DIA report, which states that "The most recent investigations have certified under a strong flow, characterized by the movement of several men of honor from a deployment to another, or from the removal of families dall'accorpamento from the different definition of zones of influence districts, often in a logic of uncertain alliances, surely outcome the lack of apical components, capable of ensuring a real and effective leadership of the criminal structure. " It is a picture very similar to that Cosa Nostra was faced in 1969/70 after the massacre of Viale Lazio wave of arrests that ended in what is called "the first mafia war," but laid the situation bases to the rise of an emergent gauge, precisely, of Toto Riina through the "slaughter" of 1978/82. A bloodbath that paved the way for strategy stragista Cosa Nostra. New alliances, new camps: this is what is happening. To do what?
