«Minister Roccella is an intellectual who has written a book and in my opinion the status of writer prevails over that of minister therefore preventing a writer from speaking is censorship, the left can say what it wants». Undersecretary for Culture Vittorio Sgarbi, today at Palazzo Pirelli in Milan to formalize his resignation as Lombard regional councilor, incompatible with his Roman post, expresses solidarity with his government colleague challenged at the Turin Book Fair.

Roccella contested at the Book Fair, Montaruli against Lagioia: “Shame on you”


“If a group of rowdy people in every way prevents you from speaking, I’m not saying they dispute you, but they prevent you from saying the premise, since for there to be an antithesis there must be a thesis, she has not expressed it” continues Sgarbi, who adds «the Book Fair is the temple of culture and literature therefore a person cannot fail to talk about his book».

Tension at the Salone, Roccella challenged by activists. Montaruli attacks Lagioia: “When he leaves we will roll the drums”. Then the minister leaves the room: “For reasons of democracy, I’m leaving”

The now former Lombard regional councilor makes it a matter of principle: “Even if you wanted to contest her as a minister and not as a writer, all the more reason you have to let her have the floor, otherwise what do you contest?”. The objections «are obviously legitimate, and that’s what Lagioia said» but according to Sgarbi, the director of the Salone should have asked for a quarter of an hour of silence «to make Roccella say at least what the meaning of her book was. The idea that the book has been censored is the most unacceptable thing.’

On the other hand, regarding what happened yesterday in the Duomo during the concert commemorating the 150th anniversary of the death of Alessandro Manzoni where Ignazio La Russa was challenged, Sgarbi specifies: «That is part of the politics and personal history of a man who has always been at right, so the dispute happens often ». Despite his resignation from the benches of Palazzo Pirelli, Sgarbi nevertheless declares himself always available «at every call from his friends, councilors and mayors» from Lombardy. Nicolas Gallizzi, Basiano’s doctor, will take his place in the regional council chamber, the first of those not elected to the “Noi Moderati” list in the Milan constituency.
