Shownotes Transcript
I'm Nicolò Mainoni and talking to a journalist in New York, I rediscovered a story that ends in London but that begins between Milan and the Vatican. It's an Italian story that went around the world, that unites high finance and the mafia, the church and the Freemasonry. It has a protagonist: Roberto Calvi.

I still don't understand where Kenny West releases the music because I'm looking for
this song "Cousins" by Kanye West, but I can't find it. I only find it spoiled on YouTube by some unofficial channel, so I didn't really understand it. Kanye West releases at night, but every time you don't understand this crazy attitude. It's part of him, but I'll put it down a little bit, a little order we would like. Now, apart from this,
but let's leave the classic message that Kanye West is crazy. Okay, we got it. Let's go and see inside this madness, if we want, what emerges. Because yes, sometimes the provocation can seem to end itself, other times it can also be an interesting clue.
This story is brutal, Kanye West says he made a lot of money for his cousin until a certain age, this is a very heavy thing to say, in today's world a little less, but
I wonder how much there is of Istrianism, that is, I need to say something super provocative about me, maybe it's a true thing, not true, I think it's true, but anyway, how much there is of...
I have to say it because I feel the need to say it, I'm saying something that will certainly be a shock. Kanye West is now dependent on the shock he manages to generate and that is a machine, a provocative machine that the more you have the more you want it.
So after you go around with a shirt with the nazi logo, I think that you can't do more at the level of society. Maybe you can go into the personal sphere. Heavy, heavy because, among other things, a story of what a phase of experimentation is like, explained by many psychologists,
I remember talking to a girl who told me that she had sex with her cousins the first time she was practically a little girl, I was shocked then I started to deepen a bit to understand and this is a reality in truth very typical not that a girl makes you break up with two cousins but that there are relationships between
members of their family in adolescence or they masturbate together. It is a fairly typical and normal thing during the discovery of their sexuality and it is tried to do in a protected context, such as that of the family before going out. So it's not a speech that was gay and so on, it was a promiscuity thing, some men do it with friends, others instead live it
in solitude. I remember when some friends of mine rented porn DVDs and then I saw my first porn, because I was confused: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Oh my God, what a pain!" I found myself in this house with this porn video and I was completely shocked. But apart from that, from there I also started to see. But in short, there is something that brings you to the discovery of the super-erotic world
and sometimes it happens like this through family members, but the point is that Kenny West who tells it in this extreme form, I must say the song is very heard, very suffering this game of synthesizers with which he sharpens the voice, I mean
tells something that is evidently felt at least when the memory is revealed to itself and then to the world and so in short the point is this stuff brings a theme that is useful so it goes to normalize something in which maybe other people have seen each other again and maybe even
they turn to the other side because or is it a thing done purely as usual to say the most heavy thing more provocative I don't know the only thing we know is that Kenny West is really
you can expect anything, it has no more hair on the tongue, it has no more shame, from this point of view, and not in this sense, for this topic that at least has been told intimately, and surely it is an interesting thing, but guys, today he says this, tomorrow he could say quietly, I don't know, he has already said any absurdity, so I don't have to make any example. You have a card to listen to.
No, in truth you have many more. And they talk about us, about our Italianity and about so many little and great folly of this absurd land, Italy. Look for Cartoline dall'Italia on your favorite podcast apps and you'll find me there. Oh, I forgot, I'm Ilaria Cappelluti. I'll wait for you.
