A man who has guts

He is Italian, and you can read this article:

His poem is inspired by Primo Levi, so i say yes right away!
Italy and politics, that's a long story.
I have been in Rome by night train once, and i met a young man who used to work in night trains. We are still in touch through Facebook.
He was very smart, and we mixed French and English. He doesn't speak French very well, but he understands it. I remember one thing he told me about Italians when we had a lunch in Paris along the Canal de l'Ourcq.
"Italians are only interested by women, money and soccer." And Berlusconi is the perfect representative of an Italian. There are some rebels in Italy like the filmmakers Roberto Benigni, and Nanni Moretti who fight against this fascist Berlusconi.

You don't understand Italian, that's fine. I can understand some words, just have a look at the images. :-)
