"For centuries we have been downtrodden and laughed at – Because we're not one people – Because we're divided – Let's unite under one flag, one dream, to melt together". Goffredo Mameli wrote these words for his hymn, in 1847.
"We aren't one people" is still Worth and the desire to "melt together" shows that, already then, we knew that we had never been one people.
"Having created Italy, we need to create Italians" said Massimo d'Azeglio. "Create Italians?": People cannot be built. People are not made with bricks , but with culture and memory.
