Faced with dragesque sobriety, this Italy that promises to be as neoclassical in language and behavior as it was ramshackle and baroque until recently, we must ask ourselves at a certain point: won’t we be bored? It’s okay to avoid the default, but let’s not forget that for us Italians, politics is a subspecies of entertainment – without getting to Gore Vidal, “politics is show business for ugly peopleOr perhaps yes, we have never really been interested in effective politicians promising us “tears and blood”; but rather, in the absence of a truth star system, to someone who would entertain us. And the intrigue, the palace maneuver, the subterfuge, the pirouette: in a word, the baroque. Fortunately, even in the Parliament that converted to draghist neoclassicism, she remained: Annamaria Bernini, group leader in the Senate of Forza Italia, former minister with Berlusconi. Excluded from the government, she staked everything on Instagram, giving herself to a peculiar instagrammatic communication. She produces posts and stories without respite in a kind of Blob that sees her strolling, having political meetings, wandering around Rome, with surreal music and filters as in 80s German punk video. While walking towards the Senate, with fluorescent filter and music: Walking walking by Anna Oxa. Or as he arrives at Berlusconi’s villa with furious hip hop music by Run The Jewels and an image that explodes in a mosaic. Or again, in the role of Daenerys Targaryen, the Queen of Dragons of the Iron Throne (but after all, with that surname, if she is not baroque).
