A young Italian, no matter how brilliant, how competent, how determined, can aspire to the role of "bank teller" for the rest of his life. Guys in their 70's and 80's are still running this country. Life expectancy is one of the longest in the world. At 40, you might be able to piece together some income and move out of your parents house. Women have postponed childbearing well past their thirties and forties. Cultural memory is transmitted.<br /><br />Bizarre social behaviour in a country for old people. Then again, weird things happen in a society of youth. Collective cultural ignorance. <br /><br />The hatred of the "useless ruin"..., and I thought it'd be cool to be the elegant dirty old man with the girlfriend younger than his daughter...initials CGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676097755038091712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116085973306668397.post-30802936695086793692010-11-11T14:27:15.559-08:002010-11-11T14:27:15.559-08:00Great quote.
