Meeting you? Yeah, why not... Alright, let's leave it at that. Take care, okay...

@Axel: I understand perfectly and I've also replied to you. If you don’t understand, it’s not my fault...

@Eletto: I just said that some of your phrases reminded me of certain comments made by those guys. I completely understand what you mean and I've never called you a mafioso. Neither you nor Axel. However, if you felt offended, I apologize, but the fact remains that the phrases I copied from your posts offend intelligence. Here, for once, it’s not about opinions...

@Axel: "I certainly don’t say that his intentions aren’t noble, but let's not immediately label people as saints and sinners." ---> Look, if there is someone doing just that, it's you. You’ve already called Saviano a "Constructed" character, and you don’t see him as a "national hero" (neither do I, by the way; I’ve already said that for me he’s simply someone good at his job and very courageous. We could use more people like that...). Aren’t these judgments? But then, "constructed" what? When he appears on television, is Saviano mumbling nonsense? I don’t think so... I’ve only heard him cite data and recount facts with quite unsettling details. And you’re worried about media success... Who cares about media success? Do you really think that’s the crux of the matter? Then, one of the street kids I saw on TV said something like: "Saviano asked for it," which Eletto also said on this page and you quoted. You don’t want to be seen as a street kid? Fine, I respect that, but you’ve talked nonsense here, so get over it.

"Why does Italy take off its hat to someone who fought the battle in front of a computer and on paper?" ---> Of course, one day Saviano woke up and said to himself: "Since I have nothing to do today, I'll write a bestselling book." And just like that... Oh yes, it must have gone just like that... No investigations, no investigative activities. The police and carabinieri reports, complete with transcripts of wiretaps, who has the desire to read them? Just sit down at the computer and start writing. The rest is taken care of by the media. But then, excuse me, what should a journalist do if not document and tell the facts? This is what the murdered individuals you mentioned used to do, and rest assured, they are often remembered and praised even by Saviano himself. And let’s not forget that they were also journalists, media operators, so: they certainly wouldn’t have spat on an editorial success equal to that of Gomorra. Journalists write, talk, tell stories... Activities that cannot be done in anonymity, and the bigger your audience, the better your work is.

@eletto1987: "People make money in the most insidious ways, even exploiting the death and suffering of others. What leaves me perplexed about Saviano is what Axel reiterated: it was a voluntary, clear-headed, and considered choice, with known risks. Don’t want to live under protection? Fine, publish the book and retreat to an atoll in Fiji.. Don’t care about money but absolutely want to inform people about the camorra? Write Gomorra anonymously, gift it to a publishing house, and console yourself that now Italy knows a bit more about the topic..." ---> I mean, now you even want to teach him, poorly, indeed very poorly, his trade... But minding your own business is out of the question, right? You sound like one of those scugnizzi I've seen on TV rambling things like: "Saviano should have kept quiet!" Or "He speaks badly of our land" or other similar nonsense...

Elected, the reasons for the success of a work can be many. A film can contribute, and I see nothing wrong in success itself, quite the opposite... Whether it comes quickly or takes time, that's not very interesting. The film, by the way, was released last year and the book is still selling in bookstores... Finally, Saviano, as a public figure, is a knowledgeable journalist; he knows what he’s talking about and is driven by a healthy passion... That should suffice, I would say...

@eletto1987: "Meanwhile, commercial literary operations on the subject are underway: books, films, series, broadcasts, various debates, and conferences. This will go on for 3, 4 months, while the iron is still hot. In a few years, no one will remember Gomorra, Saviano, and everything else." ---> I swear Eletto that I’m not against you but, if I'm not mistaken, "Gomorra" came out 3 years ago and people are still talking about it...

@eletto1987: "he seems a bit too comfortable in his role as a writer hunted by the camorra who lives under protection" --> This and other little phrases really didn't turn out well for you, did they...

No problem Bart. :-)
