Soile Lautsi 
appropriate that today sees the Strasbourg court ordered him to remove the crucifixes from schools, one thing strikes me, or that the plaintiff, the spring that led to such great decisions in such a scandal, as well as being a "mother" , as reported in various news sites with a pile of pathetic, is also and especially Finnish, Finnish-source or sources are conflicting.
Here, I'm a little 'time ago I had a Norwegian friend, a lover of pop music and good quality, good red wine, Italian language well enough to impararsela well here, and every time I returned fresh and surprising - was extremely impressed by how many times I said "I recommend ...", short la frequenza delle raccomandazioni e l'ambivalenza della parola lo facevano sorridere della nostra terra, o almeno della mia parlata.
Insomma, il buon Roy una volta parlando dei Finlandesi mi disse che nei paesi scandinavi sono oggetto di barzellette come da noi i carabinieri, o come i belgi in Francia (credo), però con una vena di pazzia e follia che si univa a quella dell'ingenuità. Chiarì tutto con una battuta "Hai presente Kaurismaki? Ecco". Forse li chiamò i meridionali del nord, forse me lo invento io, ma nella meridionalità si mischiavano -si mischiano ora nella mia testa rievocata dal termine- malinconia, spossatezza e indolenza quanto la vodka secca e tagliente sulla pelle fine e arrossata da una certa intemperanza, da una certa follia silenziosa quanto assurda.
Ed ora io me la immagino quella gentile e folle signora -pur madre potrebbe essere anche signorina, non sposata, nubile, single o vergine, vero che le finlandesi son capaci di tanto-, la nostra Soile Lautsi, nome che nasconde chissà quali stralunati suoni, surreali emozioni e bizze di pronuncia, che lì, ad Helsink sud, alias Abano Terme, nel lontanto 2002 muove guerra, legale e quindi fredda, ma sempre guerra, alle bigotterie di uno stato caldo e molle. Si muove verso nord, Soile, non il suo di nord ma quello di Strasburgo, la "città delle strade", e di qui, ad Abano Terme, in terra di bianco e terme e cattolicesimo - vuoi mettere la vodka, la sauna e il loro nichilismo?-, waits and waits with the patience of the wise or foolish, to remove the crucifix from the wall on which he has left his mark and is encrusted, so as not remove it that would say that is load bearing, which collapses the school, society, the '
Europe.
And she always, here with his cause won, his request rational, sensible, and so inevitably mad and frantic in a country (world? Universe?) Who does not like the senses, reason, here, has made Soile that Italy enters the war, cold, and intolerable for us then, with Europe itself, and here comes the embargo, the world's convictions, the UN resolutions, maybe even smart bombs. Finally a War of religion that is worth fighting a war against the religion that wants to seize all the cash, the walls of schools as the courts, to vote, to doctors, to the conscience as to his objections to television broadcasts that speak of miracles as if they observe the obvious, in short, all this ends, it will end, the war begins, the blue helmets, the sandbags in the windows, all for Soile, Finnish Italian, as in a film of Kaurismaki.
