THANKS TO EMILIANO CAVALIERE!!!!!

1950 or today?

”Let’s put forward the hypothesis, just as in the abstract, that there is a party in power, a dominant party, which, however, formally wants to respect the Constitution, and doesn’t want to violate it, in fact. It doesn’t want to do the March on Rome and transform the Chamber into lodgings for groups of men; but wants to set up, without appearing to, a veiled dictatorship. So, what’s to be done to take over the schools and to transform the State schools into Party schools? It notices that the State schools have the defect of being impartial. There is a certain resistance; in those schools there always has been, even underneath fascism it has been there. So the dominant party follows another path (it is all a theoretical hypothesis, let’s be clear). It starts to not take care of the State schools, to discredit them, to make them poor. It lets them lose blood and it starts to favour the private schools. The schools of the party, of its party. So all the care starts to go to these private schools. Care in terms of money and privileges. They even start to advise the youngsters to go to these schools, because they say, basically they are better than the State ones. And perhaps they give rewards, as now I will tell you, or they propose giving rewards to those citizens who are disposed to send their offspring to the private schools rather than the State schools. To “those” private schools. The exams are easier, there’s less to study and the success is better. So the private school becomes a privileged school. The dominant party, not being able to openly transform the State schools into private schools, lets the State schools go to rack and ruin to give the advantage to the private schools. Take care, friends, in this conference, this is the point that needs to be discussed. Take care, this is the recipe. We need to keep an eye on the cooks of this base kitchen. The operation is done in three ways: as I have already told you: ruin the State schools. Let them collapse. Make their balance sheets impoverished. Ignore their needs. Relax the supervision and the controls on the private schools. Don’t check up on how serious they are. Allow them to have teachers without the minimum requirements for teaching. Allow the exams to be ridiculous. Give public money to the private schools. This is the point. Give public money to the private schools.”

Piero Calamandrei Speech delivered by Piero Calamandrei to the Third Conference of the Association in Defence of the National School, in Rome 11 February 1950.

How to get to Central Rome (Termini Station) from the airports

FROM FIUMICINO “LEONARDO DA VINCI AIRPORT” TO CITY CENTRE (TERMINI STATION):
The train to Rome's Central Station (Roma Termini) called “LEONARDO EXPRESS” runs frequently between 6:37 am and 10:52 pm (trains running at 5 and 35 minutes after the hour) and takes 31 minutes.. After you've picked up your luggage, follow the signs to Stazione FS/Railway Station. You'll have to go up 2 floors to find it. Buy a ticket "Per Termini" at the FS ticket counter, or the newspaper kiosk, or from one of the machines in the station. A ticket costs 11 Euros. You must validate your ticked by inserting it in the validation machine before you enter the train.
FROM CIAMPINO AIRPORT TO CITY CENTRE (TERMINI STATION):
Many private direct buses go to Rome’s Central Station (Roma Termini) departing from the parking just outside the airport. Terravision bus is timed to coincide with Ryanair and other low cost companies’ flights. The journey takes around 40 minutes, depending on traffic and it costs €8 ( €14 either come back). There’s a kiosk at arrivals where to buy tickets in advance. Another bus called Bus Shuttle departs at fixed times from the same parking outside the airport, it is 1 euro cheaper than Terravision and you can pay the tickets (if there is place) on board.
