Other than” Yes we can “slogan with which Barack Obama went to conquest of the White House at the time of his first term: in Italy what is in fashion is “No, you do not pote.” The Matteo Renzi said during a meeting with 150 of the founders of start-ups and researchers of Italian origin meeting in San Francisco, as part of the North American tour that will also take him to New York for the General Assembly of the United Nations and for the Detroit visit to the Fiat Chrysler. The head of government said to breathe, in the shadow of the Golden Gate, the air from the “city of the future”, while the risk you run in Italy is to have “extraordinarily beautiful city, but the city’s past. For this, he stressed, “Our challenge is to transform ourselves, we must be jealous of the past but in love with the future.”



” Neither sponsors nor masters’

“I do not ask you to come back because you’re brain drain – has then told his interlocutors -: I change Italy, you keep it up and try to change the world. ” Not only that: “If today Italy has a Prime Minister with less than 40 years, which has no sponsors and owners, it is not because of me but because Italy has believed in change.” Although, it is the bitter addition, “when I say talk shows that Italy has extraordinary ability, step to take me for stupid and crazy. They tell me that I want to do group therapy. ” “Italy has a unique chance to stop feeling sorry for him – he highlighted Renzi -. In our country there are things to change in a way almost violent, just putting the power of ideas and the brain. ”

“Let’s delete the certificates’

Then the conversation has shifted the limits of Italy and the weight of the bureaucracy that hinders the potential: “We need a revolution systematic, if not we will we will never be a normal country” . In the cradle of the ‘ information technology , the prime minister has made a commitment to change the government through information technology “to delete the word certified and have an administration like a cloud, changing the relationship between citizens and bureaucracy. ” However, he added, “change is impossible with a skimpy top and folded on the past. We need reforms but also the ideas and for this I am here to listen. “

“A project of reform”

Things to do to change the architecture of the nation are many and complex. “We need a different labor market – has been pointed out the leader of the Democratic Party -. Our country needs to invest on the image of an anti-corruption campaign, needs a civil justice with the same time in France, Germany or the United Kingdom. But for this to happen we need a big project of reform. ”

Napolitano: “Just conservatism”

The reforms spoke from Rome, even the President of the Republic, Giorgio Napolitano , on the sidelines of the inauguration ceremony of the school year at the Quirinale: “Especially in Italy – said the head of state – we definitely renew our institutions, our social structures, our collective behavior. We can no longer remain prisoners of conservatism, corporatism and injustice. ”
