Superquark S00E56 · Uccidete il re! Cromwell e la nascita della democrazia

Overview

January 30, 1649: King Charles I is beheaded. We are not in France at the end of the eighteenth century, we are in England 150 years earlier. It is the first time that a king is judged and condemned to death by his people, who do so by taking power in Parliament. A little-known story, even if all visitors to London have passed in front of the statue of the protagonist of this story, Oliver Cromwell, placed in front of Westminster, the seat of the English Parliament. This time too we have a protagonist loved and hated and once again we are at an epochal turning point in the great History. The traumatic political change in England precedes the French and American revolutions. A long history that will lead to the birth of modern democracies, even if with tortuous and controversial passages. For the narration we used a beautiful English film, starring Tim Roth.
