How to take the field samples the National Unity of Italy? For once, instead of fumbling with Fantasy Football, let's assume a formation of great historical figures. The common denominator of the eleven owners: they must have contributed significantly to the unification of Italy, this year celebrating its 150th anniversary. In goal, and Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy (1820-1878), the Father of the Nation. The first King of Italy brought to completion the Risorgimento and the process unification of the nation along with Camillo Benso, Conte di Cavour (1810-1861), a midfielder by the excellent vision of the game which I commend the captain's armband. Although the "King gentleman" did not feel sympathy for Cavour, even tried to limit their actions, the two were able to reconcile the friction in the name of higher education, perhaps it was the unification of Italy, but more modestly, the enlargement of the Kingdom of Savoy. The fact is that together we can defeat the invincible Austrian squadron. Centered on row Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807-1882), a legend without equal. It is the perfect striker, embodies the power of Gigi Riva, the speed Pippo Inzaghi and talent Baggio. Without the "hero of two worlds" we never won. At the heart of the defense towers Giuseppe Mazzini (1805-1872), patriot, politician and philosopher, whose vision does not stop him from Republican to implement a policy that contributed decisively to the birth of the unified Italian state. These four flags next Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901). His music is the soundtrack of an Italy that yearns for freedom and heroic dreamed of greatness. The great composer supported the revivalist movement, whose slogan is just that most successful "Viva Verdi!" Which is nothing if not an acronym for "Viva Vittorio Emanuele, King of Italy." Following Giovanni Giolitti (1842-1928), whose figure is not all agree. Yet, this clever politician is credited with having expanded the democratic base of the young Italian state and have promoted economic modernization, industrial and social. So much so that his name is associated with age, defined as "Giolitti era" of great turmoil and ambitions. Are part of the team Alessandro Manzoni (1785-1873) and Enrico Fermi (1901-1954), one of the greatest scientists of all time. Pedal on the left wing Gino Bartali (1914-2000). But how? - Someone will complain - it was just a cyclist! Yes, but his victory in the Tour de France, 1948 helped to avoid civil war in Italy after the assassination of Palmiro Togliatti. Next to him who knew how to ride together and make us proud of the flag: Sandro Pertini (1896-1990), the "President of the most loved by Italians." Finally, a character that Italians revere: Padre Pio of Montalcino, born Francesco Forgione (1887-1968). We could not miss his name in the national of a country where the Saints will always have a place in the sun. What do you think? You can agree with my choices or prefer other names. However, the bench would put Alcide De Gasperi (1881-1954), Toto (1898-1967), Enzo Ferrari (1898-1988), Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936), Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) and Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937). It's just a mental game, mine, and I invite readers to draw their education standard. Face it, though: my Italy would be unbeatable. Too bad that only part of this team champions of the past. And if we tried to play with the living? I'm afraid it would be a disaster. In lean times like the present embodies the suspicion that most big men do not arise in Italy. Is this the real reason for our loss?
