"I said that the "Meridionalismo" passed from the utopia to the science. Today I would like to invert the sentence. If we really want to solve the big problems of the south of Italy, we need to have the courage to pass through again, from reality awareness to solutions findings that, initially, might seem utopistic and maybe- at least in a part- they are so. Only if we adventure in the fantasy looking to the the real nature of the problems, we will solve them in new way; only if we pass again through the utopia, the science will really solve the problems of the south of Italy".
