"Very often when there are serious acts of violence, paradoxically, the person who suffers it "disappears", overwhelmed and replaced by symbols and sometimes controversy. I always thought that this is not right and that is proper and rather more useful, even for the purposes of the proceedings, reminding people, especially the beautiful people, as was my father. So when I decided to write a book about him, about Aldo Moro, I tried to tell the particular person rather than the statesman or the victim of terrorism. "
Agnese Moro, who utters these words, and that today will be 26 November 18 at the library Ubik Como, to present his book "A man like that," (Rizzoli) had twenty-five when in the spring of 1978, there were tragic events in Romans, by the attack in Via Fani the discovery of the red Renault 4, in via Caetani, marked the dramatic climax of the earthly existence of Aldo Moro and also perhaps, a season A complex history of our troubled country. Much time and many words have passed since that terrible moment, but not in the branch memory, the memory and affection for a father figure but certainly sui generis "normal" human being at the center of the narrative of the book. "This characteristic of my writing - the author explains - perhaps derives from the fact that when I started to draw my thoughts on paper I was not going to publish them. The idea departure was to make known to my three children the figure of the grandfather who had never been able to meet. When, after the draft, I began to read my other memories from many quarters I got the invitation to publish them. Thus was born "A man like that," the book that wants to present to all persons deprived of my father. " The choice of Agnes Moro was not radical enough to contemplate, in the pages of the book, the most painful moments from seizure to the discovery of the body.
"Just to give a complete picture of living and my father - explained - are not returned, with my narration, on the facts of the kidnapping and death of Aldo Moro, the Christian Democrat statesman. I did not want to focus attention on events already notorious and to resurface in the mind the image seen a thousand times to put a prisoner posing in front of the five-pointed star of the Red Brigades or the body found in a car trunk. The book returns Aldo Moro alive, in his softest and human gestures, in his everyday life private. " The choice has yielded good results, because the book has already been reprinted and always meet public favor. "Turning to Italy to present my work - says Agnes Moro - I realized with astonishment and pleasure, as much affection and attention still exist today, many years away, toward my father. I believe that, by presenting it so personal and intimate, I have been possible to reach a large number of people, very diverse, young and old. It is said that the ideas remain even when the people go away but I think it's just the opposite and tell a person also helps to make known the ideas. " Leafing through the pages of the biography dedicated to his father by a daughter, emerging features, as mentioned, family members, "I still intenrisce - says the author - the whiteness of Aldo Moro, his father being a full and this, again, despite the difficulties of his hard work. I remember as a child, I could always count on the fact that it would respect the pact will hold my hand until the arrival of sleep. I love his way of keeping things together with those great small and I can cite an example. In a letter written from his prison, my father, talking to my mother, wrote that in despair, there was the hope that one day we will find ourselves in a better world. In that same letter, however, also remind us to close the gas in the evening. One detail that may seem small, even mundane but revealing, on closer inspection, the infinite and loving care of a man in a terrible condition, yet always attentive to the welfare of their loved ones. " This and other details of the life of Aldo Moro, according to his daughter will be told, then, today, in Como. But there's more. "In the reprint of my book - ends Agnes - I've added over the years, documents, testimonials, contributions from more giuntimi part about my father. I'd like to continue to expand this research for historians who want to provide Dedicarcisi, new materials and testimonies on Moro. Now that may take over the urgency of the news perhaps a moment of highest consideration, it would be worth pausing to reflect on the sources. "
