C'era un tempo in cui la politica era passione, coraggio. Capacità di mobilitare ed emozionare le folle. Eppure i protagonisti di quel tempo, in molti casi, sapevano affiancare a una grande capacità comunicativa, finezza culturale, rispetto dell'avversario, education and sobriety.
Lords of the policy. Today, maybe a little forgotten. It is a symbol of those distant years when you rebuild Italy is surely economic and political Alfredo Covelli, who died on Christmas Day a decade ago. A man, and those who knew him remember him well, has a personal charisma that could win without effort, as a matter of course, respect of friends and foes. The posts are a testimony that the thickness of a rival leader of the Italian Communist Palmiro Togliatti as submitted to the head of the royalists. The initiative to publish the historical archive of the undisputed head of the Italian monarchy is a laudable attempt to break the silence that accompanies the men too recent to be remembered by historians and too distant to appear in the newspapers, but that should be known by neighbors, not so much and not only for their insights. Even for a way to interpret the policy. For the elegance of yesteryear. As far as respect for institutions that must be the foundation today.
Alfredo Covelli began his political activities while the war is still ongoing. Monarchical faith, strengthens his conviction when at stake is the survival of the Italian monarchy. But its political importance is evident especially in the aftermath of the referendum on June 2, when part of politicians and intellectuals in particular think about their future looking for space in the Republican party openly. Or in some cases are isolated. Covelli with his party, are the abbreviations of various divisions and tiring shifts, maintaining a link with the past but with modern goals: the attempt to assert a right liberal. So there is no place for attempts rebellious and reactionary, but the main way is that of democracy. Respect for democratic rules and institutions. They are the first years of centrism and then the center where Covelli plays a role. Not only fill the squares, or with personal achievements in political forums seguitissima. Has a role of dialogue and discussion at the parliamentary level with the leaders, especially Democrats of the time. Might aspire even in positions of power only if he wanted to. But prefers to remain faithful to his principles and the political project of a modern democratic right training. The occasion offers
the Almirante with the creation of the MSI-DN. Almost a dress rehearsal for what will be in the future An. Covelli part in this construction, is the president of the new deployment. But the time is not ripe. The Christian Democrats, so far the real shield against communism, limps, the Socialists failed reunification, are tempted by a Communist Party in growth and living a moment of grave crisis which will leave only the secretary Craxi. There is need therefore to strengthen the old scudocrociato with new forces and new alliances. The right of a large project not go ahead. The Almirante road divides. It is 1979 and Covelli decides to end his political journey. According to witnesses of the time, there were offers personal Covelli. But the drops. Outside the political battle, lives as a spectator years of Tangentopoli. The fall of a world of men post-war orphan, deprived of the tensions that had characterized the ideal choice of his generation.
