2. Cardinal Martini and others

Marco tells Carlo Maria Martini Garzonio. The headline says the intent of the author. Namely, they tell: How did the Cardinal Bishop for over 22 years he was in Milan and retired to Jerusalem, took increasingly the role of Prophet of our troubled days; as the Church was in comparison with the Ambrosian civil society and politics and differences between Martini and the leaders of the Italian episcopate; as Martini answered repeated questions posed by social and cultural context about both general issues hottest of cohabitation (injustices, corruption, violence, war), both issues that touch the lives of people to start from the family and the difficulties that it faces today.

In the play, original text written by the author agreement for the Spoleto Festival, intertwine two strands: that objective, we say so, that is a bit like "history of Milan", of Italy and Europe in the past 30 years, and that subjective. The text aims to bring out the lived a man, taken from the Bible studies and devoid of pastoral experience, gradually becomes conscious of what feels change in him in front of the task entrusted to it and that warns, together as you are turning the reality at hand that drops. The Red wire is the ratio of Martini with il Corriere della Sera, for which the author Marco Garzonio ("the most expert martinianus" called the cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi) followed Carlo Maria Martini since its arrival in Milan. Much of the material of the work, in fact, is taken by Cardinal articles he wrote for the newspaper, from interviews granted by mail with readers who held over the last three years of his life, from 2009 to 2012. Martini, on the basis of the experience of Ambrose, acquired consciousness of the role of defensor civitatis and defensor pauperum, remains a moral reference point for the city, for the country, for the Western world. But not only for it. Having regard to the international relations intensified on Ecumenical plan, the cardinal became a figure whose Countries viewed, religions, institutions scattered to the four corners of the Earth. A real interlocutor in the dialogue of cultures. A figure who still has a lot to say.
