Sociologist, scholar, journalist and writer enrico finzi is the scholar to whom the cncn has turned for research on Italians and hunting carried out in recent years.
The book by Enrico Finzi is being distributed by Bompiani "Life is full of tricks”, A volume that narrates Italy from the second post-war period to the early seventies in the memories of a child and then of a boy. Autobiographical or not, the story reaffirms the versatility of a scholar among the most versatile and counter-current of the moment, linked by a collaboration and research relationship with the CNCN (National Hunting and Nature Committee) that goes back over the last five years.
Henry Finzi in fact, as head of Astra Ricerche, he was in charge of the opinion polls carried out for CNCN and for the hunting associations (Federcaccia, Libera Caccia, Enalcaccia, AnuuMigratoristi and Arcicaccia) on the relationship that Italians have with hunting. A necessary study, which has revealed many false myths about hunting thanks to the foresight of a sociologist who loves to investigate without being stopped by appearances or hypocrisy.
The love for animals and the environment did not prevent him from studying the phenomenon of hunting, especially in its natural context which is rurality in the round.. From the scholar's acumen it emerged the need to investigate, in the second research, the relationship between hunting and citizens with a particular focus in small municipalities, where life in the open air is quite another thing than the race to the citizen's park. medium. And once again the result obtained was enlightening, with greater knowledge - and therefore also respect - for the hunting activity precisely where rurality is truly lived and in a daily way. Then again a relaunch of hunting among young people, intercepted by Astra Ricerche in its investigations, the widespread ignorance of this practice that often generates contrary convictions, the result more of a lack of knowledge than of real rational motivations. The role of emotion and many other small details for a complex job but carried out with professionalism and consistency.
It will therefore certainly be interesting to know the "gallery of small memorable characters, told with affectionate irony, against the backdrop of a country full of conflicts and hopes" that animate the book just published by Bompiani, composed of a micro-story that aims to "restore the flavor of a era between hilarious anecdotes and shadows of the dark tragedies of the twentieth century, with a central idea: life is a theatrical representation imbued with tricks, masks and artifices, deceptions and magic. Family relationships, loves, sex, values, religion, civil commitment, studies, work: everywhere you discover the contraptions of existence, sometimes dirty, sometimes healthy ".
