Text by I testo di: Francesca Franco

Lapo Simeoni prende spunto da un oggetto “trovato”. Un’insegna pubblicitaria della Wind,

la nota azienda di telecomunicazione che, dopo aver messo fine al monopolio della telefonia fissa in Italia (2001), dal 2006 è al centro di numerose controversie: quelle sollevate dalle associazioni dei consumatori per il mancato adempimento al Decreto Bersani (che tagliava i costi di ricarica); quelle dei 275 lavoratori esternalizzati nel 2007 e oggi tutti in cassa integrazione; quelle della Procura della Repubblica di Roma e della Guardia di Finanza, che indagano sulle tangenti pagate dal magnate egiziano della telefonia Sawiris per acquistare da Enel la quota di maggioranza della società. Un oggetto, dunque, che ci riporta nell’occhio stesso del ciclone Italia, proprio in questi giorni ridestato (si è mai sopito?) dallo scandalo internazionale Telecom-Fastweb sul riciclaggio tramite fatture false di denaro sporco, anche della ‘ndrangheta. Un’Italia dove lo slogan yuppie che aveva guidato globalmente la riorganizzazione capitalistica degli anni 90, ossia, socializzare le perdite, privatizzare i guadagni, è diventato “costume nazionale”.
