Vivere pericoloso

The phrase was coined by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in his work published in 1882 "The Gay Science": For believe me: the secret for harvesting from existence the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment is—to live dangerously [German: gefährlich leben[citation needed]]!

[1]In Italy, the phrase became well known due to Benito Mussolini who launched it in August 1924 as a motto of Fascist Party.

At the inaugural session of the National Council of the Fascist Party, he proclaimed: A German philosopher said: "live dangerously."

[a][2][3][4]In Indonesia, this phrase was popularized by Indonesia's first president Sukarno in 1964 when his state address on the 19th anniversary of the nation's independence was entitled Tahun Vivere Pericoloso (The Year of Living Dangerously, abbreviated as Tavip), roughly a year before the coup attempt by the 30 September Movement.

The 1982 film starring Mel Gibson, Sigourney Weaver and Linda Hunt tells the story of the events in Jakarta before and after the 30 September Movement launched its action.
