Basta andare all’estero, si respira subito un’altra aria… anche in Svizzera per dire!
Eppure mi hanno raccontato un aneddoto curioso, vero pare e riguarda il famoso Wittgenstein, grande filosofo, grande uomo di cultura, tuttologo!
Ecco, questo Wittgenstein pare che tornasse in treno con il suo assistente, sì, pare che tornasse a casa dopo aver terminato il suo ultimo lavoro, un’opera decisiva, "Il Tractatus" che faceva il punto su tutta la filosofia… faceva il punto.
Anni di studi, anni di ricerche, anni di saggi, fine del lavoro e meritato riposo.
Niente, scompartimento, grande silenzio, a un certo punto pare che il suo assistente abbia chiesto: "Mi scusi professore, come spiega lei il gesto che fanno gli Italiani?".
Wittgenstein pensa un attimo poi sbianca in viso: "Porca miseria, devo fare tutto da capo!".
Sì, evidentemente c’era qualcosa che non gli tornava.
Non riusciva a capire l’atteggiamento e nemmeno l’allegria degli Italiani, proprio loro così incapaci di organizzarsi, incapaci di far funzionare la vita, incapaci persino di farsi un governo.
Ma Wittgenstein era uno scienziato, forse avrebbe dovuto andare dall’altra sponda dell’intelligenza per afferrare il mistero dell’incapacità consapevole e sublimata…
Giorgio Gaber (pseudonym of Giorgio Gaberscik; 1937-2000) was an Italian singer-songwriter, playwright, actor, cabaret artist, guitarist and theatre director, considered one of the most important artists in Italian entertainment and music since the Second World War. Born in Milan to a family of Slovene origin, Gaber approached music at a young age, performing in Milanese venues and collaborating with some jazz musicians. In 1960 he debuted as a singer-songwriter at the Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Il mio nome è", achieving modest success. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Gaber established himself as one of the most original and innovative singer-songwriters on the Italian scene, characterized by committed lyrics and experimental musicality. He collaborated with various artists, including Enzo Jannacci and Gino Paoli, and participated in numerous music festivals. Among his most representative songs are "La canzone del sole", "Il mio amico", "L'uomo che non c'è" and "Non ho paura". Gaber also dedicated himself to theatre direction, staging both his own works and those of other authors. His artistic career was marked by a strong social and political commitment, expressed through his songs and theatrical performances. Giorgio Gaber died in Milan in 2000 at the age of 63.
