I have long blamed my parents, and their generation, to believe they were the only young people, young people believe , to lay claim to exclusivity on youth. The impression I had, and that leaves me-is that they go far as to consider themselves the inventors of youth. Now I can not blame them. We who have twenty years, today, for the first time, we know someone who despite having few years younger than us, is no longer a child. And we discover that what had seemed the only way to be young is by no means the only, nor is it too much more in vogue. One has the impression of being in front of a turning point: the paradigm of the young rebel, recalcitrant, pessimistic but idealistic, romantic and melancholy, passionate, and is in critical decline. It 's the only paradigm that we know, because we had taught our parents, we have followed in their footsteps, or at least tried or pretended to do so. Now we discover that the younger boys to get away from us, we come to think that we will be the last young . The thing is so unlikely, that I try to remove this idea, not to fall into the usual trappola di credere di trovarsi ad un punto cruciale della storia.
