During the nights organized by "La Repubblica" in Bologna, conversing with Stefano Bartezzaghi, I had to stop at the concept of the name. Back in the day, nami was either good or bad, and when someone risked getting a bad nami (because they went bankrupt, or because they were held in contempt), it went as far as suicide or honor crimes. Of course, everyone wanted a good name. But it's been a while since the concept of name has given way to that of fame. Today it is important to be "known" by others, but not in the sense of recognition as honor or as appreciation, but in the most banal sense, such as the case when someone passes on the street and others say "look, he is passing !".
Appearance has become USA Phone Number a dominant value and the safest way is to appear on television. And you don't need to be Rita Levi Montalcini or Mario Monti, it's enough to admit that your husband cheated on you, on any of those shows that make you cry. The first hero of the appearance was the guy who did it with his hand from behind the person being interviewed. With this gesture, he became known in the evening at the neighborhood bar ("You know I saw you on TV?"), but of course, this fall in the eye did not last more than two hours. So, little by little, the idea gained ground that in order to stand out, you have to do things that, sooner or later, will give you a bad name.
It's not that people don't want a good name, but a good name is not easily obtained: you have to do some heroic act, win, if not the Nobel Prize, at least the Strega Prize, spend a lifetime in medicine lepers and these are not things that are easily achieved. It is easier to become interesting when you are unbalanced, if you go to bed for money with a famous person, or when you are accused of corruption. I'm not kidding, it's enough to see the proud look of the thieving official or the petty crook when they appear on the news screens, even on the day of the arrest: the accused whitens his teeth because a few days in prison in exchange for fame is better than prescription of punishment.
