According to Francesco Delzìo, manager and university lecturer, the possibility that Italy resurrects and gets back on track, is contained in the defeat of the virus that has infected the various fields of the state for twenty years, from public administration, politics, from work to culture. This virus is called Zero option and it is the solution adopted by those who have decision-making power when they do not want to risk anything at all: do not decide "to live peacefully today by pretending there will never be a tomorrow. " If this is joined by the "Siena Palio Syndrome", which "it is the only race in the world where the goal of every jockey and of each contrada is not so much to win, but to prevent others from winning ", typical of an Italy where envy prevails over ambition, the result is a cocktail with devastating effects, the effects of which are there for all to see: the blockade of our nation. A blockade due to the cannibalism of the prosecution, which increasingly tend to devour the other powers of the state, exploiting the inertia of those who could oppose them, but who is affected by the famous virus. A blockade due to the absence of a political thought because we chose, in our country, that "political thought is not worth thinking about. A block due to the absurd idea that you can create work by decree and the fact that in any case in Italy, in addition to a strong misalignment between training and supply, "the census of the family of origin is still a decisive factor in determining the level of education achieved. " A block due to the total lack of interest in culture. Although cultural tourism has grown in the last years of 3% every year, the images that go around the world are those of the collapse of Pompeii: a perfect operation of de-marketing, also due to the bureaucracy that discourage the patronage of entrepreneurs determined to dedicate part of their heritage to the restructuring of works of art. A blockade due to the total lack of interest towards the South, totally abandoned to itself and to a lack of serious fight against tax evasion. But there is a hope: to focus on beauty.
"Italian beauty is loved and appreciated in every corner of the world. But if we can not connect it with the world, it will remain (as it is often today) only a forgotten masterpiece in the cellar of a museum. "
