Sunsets . Another piece of history leaves the country. After Alfredo Mandara, who died in July of 2009, Dr. John Accongiagioco, gynecologist, and his greatest rival, died in Salerno, leaves a wife and two children. He and Mandara political figures who are today the most lasting impressions in the population and have been, for better or for worse, the most illustrious mayors of the country over the past 40 years. Two people of different character and appearance. Mandara minutes of physical, was the emblem of the old policy, the policy intellectual, so to be called the mayor "Gentleman," his language was cleaned with a distinctive rhetoric inspired deeply Pertini. Accongiagioco of imposing physique, however, represented the modern politician, a great communicator with strong leadership skills so as to be called "Lion", had reached a language that everyone, his greatest skill was to be able to involve people in its policy succeeded in instilling confidence and security to the voters. He became mayor of the town for the first time in 1980, beating its Mandara and marking a new political period. He was the man who led the rebuilding after the devastating earthquake of 80 and attended the town hall until the early 90's. Those were the years when the so-called penta national or age "craxiana" he socialist, he had managed through their own talents for the first time to create a real citizens' movement with the creation of neighborhood committees. His greatest achievement was that he had the ability to be able to actively involve citizens in a political project whose civil list, "Rebirth", for years he clashed with the Christian Democrats. It was the era where it sets, while experiencing a painful and inexplicable social division caused by the struggle between the two sides, the massively attended public res. Each generation was involved, bars, squares, passing through the village, they lived in politics, some walls still shows signs of great competition between the people and the rebirth of DC which saw among their ranks Imperato, Arpino and Jordan (now Mayor of Sunset). Campaigns always strong contrasts, discussions, decisions, divisions of families, making live a country that was dying because of emigration to the north of progress made in the 70's. But it was also the period in which a new social fabric proved to be reborn through a new economy, the public and private building thanks to a lot of money arrived in the post-earthquake. It was evident that the policy "accongiagiochiana" was very similar to modern times, mainly based on an intelligent mass communication. The symbol of the civil list, the flags, the picture, everything was great attention to detail. Had the merit of creating a radio for years remained the only one on the Amalfi Coast: Amalfi Coast Sunshine Radio, seguitissima from many provinces of Campania. Its curtain as had happened to Mandara dropped right in 1990 when he was disheartened by the same advisers. He decided to retire to private life, continuing to carry out his professional activity, then in 2005 moved to Salerno. Perhaps Sunsets will have to wait long to relive times with characters like that, although different in their personality, had been given a unique mark on the political history of the town. The only certainty today is that in the same village squares, in the same bars and homes, with its disappearance, friends and foes regret deeply moved to a different era, an era where politics was the people, among the people.
