Always in Italy people is divided between innocent and guilty.
The writer, remember that he was a child and asked the father what all the uproar around the Mystery of Via Monaci in Rome's Nomentano neighborhood where September 10, 1958 was found dead Maria Martirano Fenaroli.
The process that divided Italy ended on appeal in 1963 with a life sentence for Giovanni Fenaroli (person behind) and Raul Ghiani (author) and sentenced to 13 years for Carlo Inzolia (accomplice).
Giovanni Fenaroli died in prison in 1975, Raul Ghiani he was pardoned in 1964 while Charles Inzolia in 1970 was released on parole.
It was the first time that Italy has beed divided between guilty and innocent.
Many years after the case was studied again and from a journalistic survey conducted by Antonio Padellaro and others, appeared much more evident the innocence not recognized of Raul Ghiani.
If quite sixty years ago, Italy was able to spend a night in the open waiting for a first judgment, the sport today in Italy is able to divide on a case of doping and redemption of the guest of a small hotel on the Nomentana not too far from Via Monaci.
The innocents aimed at re-education process and make it a source of pride.
Guiltiness stigmatize him as "the shame of Italy" despite having served until the last day of a long sentence, and today is a man like any other.
In this particular context that the meat mincer machine of Social Network, where anyone under the principle of "freedom of speech" can afford to say everything and the opposite of everything, including offenses: in essence "the rumors of the belly of the Italians".
Marcia dal Mondo has never wanted to take part in this game in the massacre, and now we hope is at the end.
Yesterday's Corriere della Sera appeared an interview with Sandro Damilano as a turning point.
Let us quote only one sentence: "... a handshake, a hug, a hello ... I do not know what will happen. I know that I will have no problem to say goodbye. " Thanks, Sandro Damilano for pointing out what should be the right way.
And also the CONI president Giovanni Malago has intervened on the theme today on Gazzetta dello Sport: "The IAAF and WADA rules are clear. Everything else leave things as they stand - he said - every opinion should be respected, but on the subject of doping there are rules that we not written and which provide for certain penalties and certain behaviors. If one steals and then there is a judgment, at the end of the sentence back into the wild and can get back to doing what he did before, because in society there is a course of rehabilitation. And that's what happened”.
Thank you President, we hope that the "belly of the Italians" have turned the page for the good of a sport that is still part of athletics among those who have the pride of an enviably rich number of medals.
We at least, from now on, we will discuss only the results.
