Every phenomenon or fact has its own beginning, in recent times and easy to locate, remote and sometimes for this difficult to trace or to remember. If today, 2 June 2016, We are celebrating the Republic day a beginning we must trace. It was a Republic, our, founded on the blood of a civil war in the mid-20th century has disrupted our country leaving him poor, destroyed and reduced to fame. It was thanks to the merit of men who, by rolling up your sleeves, together they have decided to rebuild a country, brick by brick, House after House, hope after hope. Within a few years, the Italy has been able to give himself a Republican form, a Constitution and restart the economy of the State. There was the desire not to forget, to remember, to learn of what happened because in the future, the new generations are not fighting the same wars and to relive the same fears. Was hope in the power of man United with the idea of freedom. It was as if that wind of hope and liberty had returned to blow on Europe after decades of totalitarianism and oppression. It was a wind from ancient origins. It was the same belief, in the same strength and same freedom, that had pushed, a century before, our people to fight for freedom of the country from "foreign oppressor.". In The 19th Century, convinced of being right, believe in the power of man and the idea that freedom was the most valuable asset at man's disposal, We won back those that we believed to be our lands and we created a State. A State that had joined with territorial, but not humanly, It was like geography, but not as a people. Once again the strength of hope together with the idea of freedom was enough to hold the destiny of this state until the advent of fascism. But if even in the second half of the nineteenth century vigevano the ideals of hope in man and in the idea of freedom, to investigate the sources we have to downgrade again over time. In this route backwards we find many industrial revolutions, social and political. The strength in the hope of man caused unprecedented technological advances, the idea of freedom was pushing the poor masses to take up sticks to revolt to absolute monarchs. It's a wind, that of freedom, that blows throughout the nineteenth century, that comes from the 18th century. It's a fresh wind, new, pushing to believing in the potential of man. This is our point of arrival, that is the starting point from which hope and freedom are rooted in the idea that man can be at the center of the world, It can by their own efforts to become judge of your own future. In The Eighteenth Century, was the enlightenment to end the middle ages and open the doors of the modern age. Thanks to this movement of men and ideas he set the focal point man, in its entirety, placing under the scrutiny of reason all aspects of human life, religion including. For the first time the man had no more excuses, excuses of a God that predestined her future, I was driving along a path already written. The end of the dark age, the man had the idea of himself, ends when you turn on the light of enlightenment. Enlightenment is the man with the light of reason. The secularisation that followed and which involved the appropriation of man in the world, in the century just, with the crisis of religious movements has come the times with the winds of hope and freedom giving way, only in modern times, to globalisation. The latter phenomenon, like the previous mass, caused the unification of man-mix spegnando standard hope and reducing the freedom of a space on social networks. But the winds of hope and freedom in humans continue to expire, driven by an ideal that in the 18th century it never faded, just today rather than continuing to ride them you prefer to close them out the window.
