Still a special and remarkable "portal"

A story by Giovanni Guareschi – the literary "father" of "Don Camillo and Peppone" – ends with the sentence "Things happen there, in this strange region... where people think more with their clubs than with their brains, but where at least they respect the dead." To understand it, one must recall the political situation in Italy at that time, immediately after the end of World War II: The monarchy had been abolished, the royal family was in exile, and the communists were partially in power (as was the case in Don Camillo's village). In the story "The Old Teacher," the woman who had taught generations of villagers their ABCs has died. She had expressed her last wish to Mayor Peppone and Don Camillo that her flag – the old one with the coat of arms from the time of the monarchy – be placed above her coffin. However, all factions of the municipal council had spoken out against it. Peppone replied: "So I tell you... that I don't care about your opinion and that Signora Cristina will go to the cemetery tomorrow with the flag she likes, because I value her more dead than you alive." Hence the sentence quoted at the beginning, "where at least the dead are respected."
