People need a true Maestro, to counter any ‘bad education’ coming from schooling or social-cultural environments. True teachers inspire students (and vice versa) and help them to freely embrace ideals, principles, disciplines; they are able to share knowledge while eliciting emulation and gratitude. True teachers do not just teach ex cathedra, they also transmit precious know-how from their own experience, using actions as well as words. They are teachers not only of technical skills but of life skills too, and are able to create a community in which everyone finds individual responsibility. We see this exemplified, however unlikely it may seem, in the cases of both Luigi Meneghello (1922-2007) and his true maestro Antonio Toni Giuriolo (1912-1944). We also see it in the education of mafia bosses’ children under the recently-introduced revolutionary legal protocol, which was significantly named Liberi di scegliere (Free to choose your own way).
