" Half a century of Italian history through the songs by Luciano Luciani

Qualche parola
e un po’ di musica


Ebbene sì, sono solo canzonette e niente più… “però entrano, sono entrate, entreranno nelle nostre giornate insieme con le esperienze, gli odori, i sapori, le cose dette e ripetute, le cose prese e buttate.”

In short, the songs are important, rather important in the history of costume and feelings of a company are the minimum messages that accompany our daily lives, we mark the day, the heat there, say the happy moments and less happy existence. They are the soundtrack of our human and without them, the songs, our time would be poorer and more gray ...


1911. Chorus passionate final high

According to the census of that year, Italians are almost thirty-six million, more than ten million farmers and four workers.

There is neither land nor jobs for all.

And here is the myth of the "fourth shore" means a land beyond the sea, to colonize in order to give bread and work for those who do not have it.

Thus was born the colonial adventure, wanted by the petty bourgeoisie and the popular strata in the South.

The mainstream press is all in support of the company and also all intellectuals.

The same mild Giovanni Pascoli Barga disguises herself as a warmonger, "the great proletarian moved."

sing But what the Italians? Core 'ngrato or authors, in fact, two emigrants, Riccardo and Salvatore Cardillo Cordiferro that words and music dedicated to Enrico Caruso and ushered in the genre of song-ballad, very popular in the years close to the Great War.

sings Caruso, Gigli sings: Chorus passionate, high note.


1915. We are already at war

at breakneck speed to the war.

is demonstrated by this surdato O 'nnamurato , a march by the military look and pace, that in a short span of months, it had become the unofficial anthem of the sharpshooters.

until several years later reinterpreted superbly by Anna Magnani , will be reduced to its true raison d'être di canzone d’amore, di lontananza e di nostalgia.


1925. Italia, Paese dei campanelli

Mentre gli italiani assistono impotenti agli ultimi sussulti dello stato liberale e si consumano, una a una, le residue garanzie della democrazia parlamentare, niente di più comodo che raccontare del favoloso Il paese dei campanelli , situato più o meno dalle parti dell’Olanda, dove campane e campanelli, appunto, hanno il vezzo di cominciare a suonare quando mogli e fidanzate sono sul punto di tradire their men ...

A tale of escape as usual, carried out with graceful Art Nouveau style by the master Ranzato, violinist with Toscanini at La Scala, and performer of renown.

The first de The village bells " is 23 November 1923.

On 13 of the same month, the Senate had approved, a very narrow majority, the new electoral law that abolished the proportional representation system and reintroduced the majority.

All this happened almost ninety years ago, of course.

Milan, December 1925, the two leading exponents of operetta nostrana, Carlo Lombardo and Virgilio Ranzato attempt to repeat the success achieved together with the village bells . And here, for an audience in the mood of easy exotica, the story of Cin-Ci-Là , and sailed pretty French actress, who, at that of Makao, amid numerous misunderstandings, he manages to complete the sentimental education of Prince Cyclamen and Myosotis, his betrothed fiancée and inexperienced. Finished and happy wedding parties throughout Makao.

In Rome, however, only a week after the first of Cin-Ci-Là has passed a law on the prerogatives of head of government, responsible for its own political action only source of the king. On the same day a decree stipulates that public officials who do not give full guarantee of faithful discharge of their duties or arise under conditions of incompatibility with the general directives of the government, can be fired.


1935. Fascism is a consolidated

Fascism is now a system widely established.

In elections a year earlier, in a plebiscite, almost all of the Italians gave their assent.

country proceeds apace in the militarization of the economy and society.

Declaring war to Ethiopia.

The League of Nations - the UN at that time - Italy decides to apply economic sanctions that are used to mobilize public opinion and launched the "campaign for gold to his country "at the end of which is collected millions of wedding rings.

to go against the current, dominant in the swamp of conformism, they are really very few: some group workers, some intellectuals.

In May, in Turin, during a raid are under arrest Giulio Einaudi, Cesare Pavese, Carlo Levi, Norberto Bobbio.

evasive disengagement and the passions of Italians in the thirties: cinema, finally enriched by the sound and, needless to say, the song.

Then when the first is intertwined with the second, success is assured.

is the case of Do not forget me, a film, which, in the memory film, no trace would remain, were it not for the eponymous song, sung by none other than Beniamino Gigli, acting goofy, but great content for sweetness of tone and warmth of expression.

Radio, Italic other great passion in those years, multiply this success, amplifies it, takes him to a half million families, many radios in Italy at the end of that decade.


Alfredo Bracchi D'Anzi and John are a couple that lasts several decades in the history of Italian song.

Both belong to the world of stage and light entertainment, and they must recover if the song in Milan positions and importance compared to Neapolitan and Roman.

Di Giovanni D'Anzi is the famous Madonina of both the heartfelt Nostalgia de Milan, written in 1938.

But the song in the vernacular was produced and then close their language patterns and unforgettable lyrics: Girls love (1934), but his legs (1938), Miss big names (1938), performed by Trio Lescano; You're not my baby (1938), Silent slow (1940); You, divine music (1940).

not forget my words and 1937 and is a significant example of the "Novecento style, which pervades so many songs in the second half of the thirties, lithe, languid and well paced.


1939. La Campagnola beautiful music by blacks against

" dawn, when the sun comes,

all there in Abruzzo d'or ...

the prosperous peasant

descend into the valleys blossom ...

or Campagnolo beautiful

you're the princess;

the sun is shining in your eyes,

c 'is the color of violets,

valleys all in flower! ...

If you sing your voice

is a harmony of peace,

that spreads and says

if you want to be happy,

you have to live up here ...

Return of a low and lingering sensitivity Arcadian or anticipation of green issues / environment?

Neither one nor the other case: rather the alignment covered songs of the authors of the directives of the regime, not only engaged in the battle of the grain, the reclamation of the Pontine Marshes, nell'autarchia food ... but also the ethical standards of a costume tended to Americanize and, therefore, in the eyes of the regime and the Cape to become corrupt.

In controversy with the swing and jazz with , criminalized as "music by blacks," and with all the fashions from overseas, which are considered corrosive of healthy national costume, the the lyrics are filled with prosperous paesanelle, Rosabella of Molise, roads of the forest, to shepherd lovers, Italic safe bastions of hard work and morality.

God, country and family, attacked in the city, always lost and sprawling for authors songs of the era, are taken into a campaign sound revenge.

sample on a Neapolitan folk song of the sixteenth century (according to others Abruzzo Sicilian second and more), founded in 1939, the first song of "rebellion"

Of Maramao ... because you're dead is the prolific author Mario Panzeri, which will be accused of having alluded to the recent departure of one of the big scheme, that Costanzo Ciano, whose tomb, in the Assyrian-Babylonian style, lies, even now, on the sea \u200b\u200bof \u200b\u200bLivorno.

A portare al successo la triste storia in versione swing di Maramao, aristogatto del 1939, saranno le sorelle olandesi, ex acrobate, Sandra, Giuditta e Caterinetta Leschan, che italianizzeranno il cognome in Lescano.

Un trio destinato a fare epoca: bruttine anzichenò, le sorelline debbono il loro successo non certo all’aspetto fisico, ma a un formidabile senso del ritmo, all’accento esotico – a metà tra il mitteleuropeo e l’inglese – e alla radio.

Accanto alla novità, come sempre la tradizione.

Here "Florence dreams" , success of Tuscan ditty, sung by Carlo Buti, famous example of regional song, a genre that will last at least until the early sixties.


1938. Revenge of Kramer

Gorni surname, Kramer named by a father-affibbiatogli cycling fan and admirer of the German champion Frank Kramer, was a great accordionist, jazz musician among the best of our country and the first in the world to do with the popular jazz accordion.

cost him dear as from 20 June 1938 of its instrument music was no longer self-sufficient EIAR radiated by the microphones.

Perhaps Pippo does not know it is the subtle revenge for the exclusion of Gorni Kramer: in fact, even the voice of the people assigned to that syncopated tune, and that text is a surreal sense of rebellion against leaders of the regime in general and Starace in particular that, as head of the Voluntary Militia for National Security, was obsessively visible in the years close to war.


1945. Naples, Italy metaphor

Mattinata fiorentina But love and no , are respectively 1941 and 1942 and being on a scenario already devastated by war.

the grief associated with each conflict is joined by two unpublished, negative news: the nightmare of bombs and starvation.

On 30 September 1941 the daily ration of bread is brought to 200 grams head will fall to 150 in the coming weeks.

In the spring of 1942, ten million people are below the minimum diet.

And then, to forget, nothing better than calling a Florence never existed, a heartthrob April Messer, Florentine Madonnas so generous in their thanks, as distracted to the point spread in the fields of fine delle Cascine hairpins ...

A text that could lead to success in those days, only a singer who was also a character!

is the case of Milan's Alberto Rabagliati, unlucky descendants of Rudolph Valentino, chosen by the Fox film from more than 800 thousand candidates to his legacy.

singer in the Blue Star Pippo Barsizza since 1930, had performed in Paris in a complex of South America. Back in Italy had achieved a deserved success with the famous radio broadcast Canta Rabagliati the only one capable of removing at least for a while 'the concerns of the war.


But love is not always Giovanni D'Anzi will however not only the soundtrack of the film by Mario Mattioli Tonight nothing new 1942, but also for the epochal events of our country.

the Allied landing in Sicily, the fall of fascism, the Badoglio government, the armistice on 8 September, the struggle to regain national dignity of the events are intended to remain in the memory of older people linked to the sad and sensual voice of a young and beautiful Alida Valli.

will certainly not surprising if in the days confused and troubled post-war era, text and sound, songwriters and musicians feel the need to reconnect with tradition, with the best national tradition, that of Naples.

of 1945 is the sorrowful Munasterio 'e Santa Chiara , is reminiscent of the terrible bombing of the basilica of Naples in August 1943, both fast and do not always understand the changes taking place d' work in costume, behavior, life styles of Naples, the Italians, the people.

sing and Naples sue rovine materiali e morali Giacomo Rondinella e Roberto Murolo: e mai, come in questo caso, la città del golfo è veramente metafora di tutta l’Italia.

"Casa Balboa - Son of breed" by Mario Rocchi

di Andrea Giannasi

Siamo in un periodo che, nonostante le possibilità del web, prolificano scrittori su carta stampata di ogni tipo, vecchi e giovani, maschi e femmine e di sesso misto. Quasi tutti, indipendentemente dal valore, si crogiolano nei ricordi di vita, nella autobiografia più o meno palese, più foil or less. So it is rare to find in a small provincial town like Lucca and not only a prolific writer, different, bold, arrogant, brave as Mario Rocchi that, in his ninth book surprises us once again.

Writer of various kinds, even though it should be said, this "Casa Balboa - Son of race" is the conclusion of a trilogy that began in 2006 Rocchi, unique series of books on a topic that develops over time.

But in the production of the writer and journalist, there are various types of fiction, from yellow intimate al surreale, dall'indagine sulla corrotta società di oggi all'incitamento alla rivoluzione e via dicendo non dimenticandosi mai di vedere nel sesso l'impulso primordiale della vita.

Così siamo arrivati a quest'ultimo romanzo che, tratteggiando la storia di Maurizio Balboa, ci fa indagare una famiglia senz'altro originale, ma poi non tanto, dal momento che vi possiamo scorgere i prodromi della famiglia odierna, una sorta cioè di microcosmo della nostra società. La ribellione al lavoro sfruttato è per Maurizio un atto anarcoide liberatorio, mentre il sesso sfrenato a cui si dedica, se è in parte emulazione del padre erotomane, che ama e critica allo stesso time, basically half nice to annihilate the existential drama that, while not becoming its realize it, live intensely.

raw sex scenes, therefore, have a meaning that goes beyond the survey hyper-realistic that the author has done for creative reasons, arriving at something in the rediscovery of the importance of the body and its essence ends up investigating the meaning of life.

pleasant reading, then, that does not fail to think also, as in all the novels of Rocchi, the intimate problems of life.

"Sergio Tori: a life lived" by Gianni Quilici

When the machine is playing for the last time to Livorno, where his body was incinerated in order to be secure Then, in his garden in Monaco, I thought that Sergio Tori would go forever, that it was 50 years old, still young, because his ideas were boiling down to the last ...

I instantly wrote:

"The casket of Sergio on shoulders. Sergio burning, there will be no more, only ashes, ashes, that does not convert back to life, the infinite time, the scary thing ... "

And then the silence of the attic:

" March will be without Sergio. Without his line lightning. Without his sharp irony. Without the ambition to progress further along its path ... "But who was

Sergio Tori ?

do not know, of course. All I can say just as I saw. A "being" restless. Young age had begun to travel. Not as a tourist, but as a boy among men and women in the Maghreb, Latin America and the length and breadth Asia, up to Afghanistan, and archaic warrior, living in even the most poor and marginalized, being sometimes in incredible situations, in my eyes, almost like science fiction. But with

had crossed "furiously" the history of our years, from '68 to the years of lead, the crisis of the movements of the '80s to the big peace demonstrations of the 2000s. Had participated, writing and photographing, before the experience of "New Moon" and, most recently, the Photography Club Photolife. Some of his photos had appeared on "Archipelago" and in several exhibitions, the last of them on Vietman in Milan with great success. He had one eye

ductile, very receptive, which was transformed for suggestions for experiments. It is called photo-poet.

the poet had a burning feeling of "things", the metaphorical transfiguration, the power of rhythmic music.

Among some amazing e-mail that you sent me, very briefly, just to give a sense of who he was Sergio Tori:

" Sometimes the days run away like water on the glass when it rains hard, you go through spendthrift than you wanted to do and yet neither that nor the fact it is early evening and you almost let go of the euphoria of the time wasted, it is almost night and only dreams can appease insane desires. "


Homemade Theatrical Prosthetics

"A world that longer exists, "by Tiziano Terzani

of Gianni Quilici


It 's a book full of charm and is a beautiful gift that the child Folco made retrospectively to the father Tiziano Terzani.

" a world that no longer exists" retraces, concisely and in a different The end is my beginning , because texts chosen by this and other photos that weaves his books Terzani has achieved during his career as a journalist and beyond.

The novelty is mainly the photos, including several very significant.

Let me give you pedantically: Page 23, 28, 44, 46-7, 55, 62, 66-7, 78-9, 94-5, 107, 109-10, 113, 119, 132-3, 135 , 136, 138-9, 152-3, 154, 155, 156-7, 164-5, 171, 174-5, 186, 188-9, 194-5, 205, 216, 221, 222-3, 224 -5, 240, 248-9, 256-7 (the most intriguing), 260,262-3,264-5, 269, 270-1, 276-7, 278, 279-80, 285, 287. They are significant because, in many cases, are unique testimonies. So are photographically perché colgono attimi poetici in una struttura compositiva complessa e-o essenziale.

Potrebbero suggerire, viene da pensare, un ulteriore libro esclusivamente su Terzani fotografo, valorizzando soltanto o soprattutto l'immagine.

Tuttavia ciò che affascina in questo, come in altri suoi libri, è la qualità avventurosa della vita di Tiziano Terzani.

La vita di Terzani, come si desume anche da questo libro, è fatta di svolte. Le svolte di scelte coraggiose, in certi casi, quasi avventurose. In questo volume si inizia da un Terzani pieno di miti del '68 (dalla guerra popolare vietnamita a Mao e alla rivoluzione maoista) to find the end in harmony with the silence of creation in 2004 on 'Himalaya, in complete solitude, with the extreme need to live and communicate.

Yet this continual questioning Terzani has represented (and represented himself) a large portion of Asia in his tumultuous change: the Vietnamese victory against the boundless American power, the disappointment of Maoism and the destruction of an ancient civilization , patterns of working and living in a devastating hyper-technologized Japan, the dissolution of the Soviet Union over Eastern Europe, the carnage in the Philippines and in Cambodia after Pol Pot, the train trip to Asia without any obligation of journalism, the fabulous kingdom of Mustang, a mirage in the mountains, the extraordinary diversity of civilization and humanity in India, and finally the withdrawal of the great Himalayas.

" a world that no longer exists" is, therefore, a book of the eyes, but also a book that provokes a desire to move. A movement through space and set an existential. A book that carries within it and at the same time off. Tiziano Terzani has made these last two movements from separate bodies.

The challenge, in this world that Terzani had covered, analyzed, represented, might perhaps be that of reunification. At that level of penetration historical-intellectual and even human. Because at the end of his message are listening and love what is most humble and necessary, real and radical.

" And so on ad infinitum "Paul Virno

Emilio Michelotti

In this essay I try to summarize, the noted philosopher of language anthropological view progresses very unsettling about the (I feel calling so) ways of knowing.

seems to me that the student focuses on the development potential of what Freud called "repetition compulsion" by linking it to the rite and a need for recourse to the original pre-human existence .

It all seems very dark, but it is not. Every day we experience, often without our knowledge, co-actions that exceed the ritual gestures dictated by the subconscious, I repeat, do not use and have no need of words.

This size rite, prelinguistic, tends to deconstruct the entire cultural reality in order to enable the new to emerge.

E 'a system fraught with danger because it has to do with an "infinite regress" to an archaeological past in which the human dissolves.

What helps to stop this "and so forth" with "enough!" Is the way of negation (not, I do not want), together with that of the possibility (make positive choices) .

From techniques devised by 'homo sapiens since his debut for the exercise of these three fundamental skills (negation, possibility, locking regression) origin, as I understand it, the entire human process of acculturation.

Show on Arcimboldo" by Luciano Luciani

was in 1583 that the Emperor Rudolph II (1552 - 1612) left the Hapsburg court in Vienna permanently to settle until the end of his troubled life in the castle on the hill Hradschin Hradcany in Prague. But no one knew the reason for that decision which, in addition to all weakened the already shaken his authority against his brother Matt, his successor from 1612 to 1619, power-hungry and untrustworthy. We can only assume that the monarch, not sure if you suffer from serious mental disorders, thought to be in the Bohemian capital an environment appropriate for his character issues.

To his contemporaries and later generations Rudolph remained a bizarre character whose behavior was always surrounded by an atmosphere of legend because of his relations with alchemists and astrologers. In fact, contradictorily, while the court agreed to its artists, philosophers and scientists like Giordano Bruno, Giambattista Della Porta, astronomers Johannes Kepler and Tycho Brahe, in parallel with the alchemists were greeted John Dee and Michael Sendivogius, the medium Edward Kelley, an adviser to Elizabeth I of 'England, Rabbi Judah Low, legendary creator of the Golem, all operators of mysterious rites celebrated on the basis of magic formulas.

On the other hand showed Rodolfo surrounding himself with all the generous patron of artists of many different disciplines, goldsmith and precious stone processing, painting in the wide range Typical of his expressions, to architecture. His boundless wealth also enabled him to accumulate an incredible number of masterpieces of painting and sculpture and exhibits pseudo-scientific, natural and monstrosity 'oddities' disparate, collected and celebrated in the famous 'Wunderkammer', the 'Hall of Wonders'.

In this cultural climate, composite and sumptuous, thanks to his lively intelligence, is also part of the Milanese painter Giuseppe Arcimboldi, Arcimboldo said and Arzimbalda (Milan, 1527 - Milan, 1595) already known, according to the contemporary Paul Morigi, as "a rare artist, scholar, and many other virtues, and Excellent ... so in painting as in many oddities, not only at home but still out." Since the period of Viennese liked, and not a little, to Rudolph of Habsburg 's inventive genius of the Lombard, which indulges itself in the composition of fabulous half-busts made from plant matter, animals, minerals in which individual components associated with each other detailed insight combined to create an illusion so the expression of a human face.

especially fascinated by the disturbing philosophical metaphor inherent in figures così cariche di mistero.

Purtroppo a Praga della copiosa produzione del manierista italiano è rimasto ben poco: solo alcuni lavori raccolti nel Museo Nazionale e nella Galleria Nazionale. Il resto è disperso in tutto il mondo: Vienna, Stoccolma, Parigi, Madrid, oltreoceano… Generazioni di critici d’arte hanno cercato di indagare, senza apprezzabili risultati, sulla personalità enigmatica e sfuggente di Giuseppe Arcimboldi. C’è da augurarsi che qualche risposta definitiva la possa suggerire la m ostra su Arcimboldo a Milano " Arcimboldo - Artista milanese tra Leonardo e Caravaggio " che ha aperto i battenti giovedì 10 febbraio 2011, presso le sale del Palazzo Reale . Si tratta di un'esposizione molto attesa sia per l'alto valore delle opere in mostra, sia per la possibilità offerta di una visione finalmente complessiva dell'intero percorso artistico di quello che è stato l'estro di Arcimboldo . In addition to its famous heads of flowers and fruits, are in fact also exhibited paintings, drawings, objects, jewelry, which, at first glance may seem far away from the traditional production of the Lombard, but in reality, they promote a better understanding broad and reasoned. If they appear so clear his 'debt' against Leonardo and 'credits' towards the figurative experience Caravaggio, it is indisputable that Arcimboldo was able to create his original world, personal, brilliant in the grotesque, already imbued with an almost surreal feeling.

nine sections in which it articulated the shows the latest all fully focused on his most famous works : those of the period of youth the most famous heads, such as "gardener" and "reversible head with a fruit basket", the drawings grotesque.

A key aspect that shows Milan then puts the spotlight is the close relationship that exists between the artist and his city, Milan : a question so far studied in a too superficial, but that, until May 22, 2011 (last day to visit the exhibition) will be of concern , study, and who knows, even a few surprises.

"Luigi Morandi: The Garibaldi who was studying the Beautiful" Luciano Luciani

Era solo un bambino Luigi Morandi quando il generale Garibaldi in fuga da Roma, “bello di fama e di sventura”, mise piede a Todi alla testa di una piccola colonna armata che non arrivava a tremila uomini. Era l’11 luglio 1849, la tragica, eroica, estate del 1849: si era appena consumata l’epopea della Repubblica romana e nella cittadina umbra sventolava ancora il tricolore. Garibaldi e i suoi provenivano da Terni, avevano necessità di qualche giorno di riposo, di bestie da soma per trasportare i bagagli e di buoi per garantirsi quel vitto che avrebbe dovuto sostentare una marcia che si prevedeva ancora lunga e difficile fino a Venezia. A Todi Garibaldi fa sostare le truppe presso il Convento dei Cappuccini e con alcuni ufficiali entra in città, salendo fino al piazzale dove un tempo dominava la Rocca. Gli fa da guida Antonio Valentini (1785 – 1858), una delle più importanti figure del Risorgimento todino, ex tenente-quartiermastro della Guardia napoleonica e Maggiore della Guardia Civica. Garibaldi si trattiene due giorni: organizza un modesto presidio e raccomanda al sacerdote don Luigi Crispolti la tutela degli abitanti dalla rabbia e dalle immancabili rappresaglie austriache.

A sancire nel tempo il legame di affetto tra quella località umbra e l’Eroe, un albero: un cipresso, ancora oggi vivo e vitale, piantato nell’orto sottostante la piazza che a Garibaldi sarà dedicata anni più tardi

Intanto quattro eserciti gli danno la caccia: il borbonico Statella gli muoveva contro alle spalle del Tronto; a Rieti l’aspettano gli Spagnoli di don Consalvo; gli Austriaci del maresciallo D’Aspre, il feroce fucilatore dei patrioti livornesi In May 1849, camped in front of Foligno in Umbria, close to the road to Perugia and Ancona. Just from Perugia to Todi start 8000 with six Austrian artillery, commanded by General Stadion with orders to "reduce the duty of the gangs that infest the land occupied by the victorious arms of the Empire", while access to the Legation and prevented by Gorzkoski. Meanwhile, from Rome to Civita Castellana Oudinot advances even a whole division of cavalry and several battalions headed by General Morris. The French and the Austrians seem to have forgotten ancient enmities and work together in pursuit of the sympathy and encouragement of reactionaries and moderati.

La morsa si stringeva sempre più e mentre i garibaldini prendevano la via della Toscana meridionale, le truppe francesi entravano a Orvieto e quelle spagnole e borboniche si insediavano a Terni, Narni e Spoleto. A loro volta gli austriaci del generale Klische De La Grange occupavano Perugia e Foligno. A Todi arrivava da Perugia un distaccamento austriaco agli ordini del Primo Tenente Tommaso Widensky che venne persuaso dal Valentini a non infierire sui repubblicani

Dopo una breve stagione di libertà l’intervento straniero riportava a Todi il dominio pontificio. Tornava il “governo dei preti” e con esso un clima politico - culturale cupo, arcigno, fatto di minacce, quando non erano vere e proprie persecuzioni, towards the more prominent of the liberal denial of any reference to Democratic parentheses, (the "past riots), the widespread practice of spies and informers everywhere unleashed.

Perhaps Luigi Morandi was still too young to grasp the magnitude of that tragic event. It is certain that the passage of Garibaldi and his one brief stop had to leave an indelible mark in the hearts and consciences of Todi and plans and expectations for food to survive the defeat. The protagonists of this moral and civil resistance some important figures of interest: the Count Girolamo Domenici, former Republican Guard lieutenant, Count Lorenzo Leoni, a former officer of the Civic Guard in Rome in early 1848, a priest Tudertina, Don Abdon menical, an admirer of Garibaldi and political supporter of Piedmont, the poet and scholar Joseph Cocchi, a friend of Gino Capponi, back in 1851 in Todi after a painful exile from Florence. And it is in memory of past examples of heroism, dedication to the national cause, in the hope of the coming changes to come that grows the young Louis Morandi.


was born in Todi in 1844 from a humble family and only 17 years had managed to enroll at the Scuola Normale di Perugia: to finance their studies and engage in accounting, in turn, taught as master at night school. A 19-year-old teacher at the secondary school of Spoleto, where he founded a "Review of the literature for the Umbria and Marche." He also wrote on "Alarm", "weekly political newspaper for Democracy, a progressive print head, which was one of the first attempts to make you feel at Perugia and in 'Umbria a voice different from the moderate positions of the ruling class. Work together, striving to offer views and processing but not limited to interest Umbrian able to deal with general issues and proposing a more modern Italian of the big issues, many intellectuals of the period: Raffaele Hercules, Hercules Ovid, Luigi Pianciani, Luigi Castellazzo, Concetto Procaccini, Paolo Geymonat, Emilio Lelmi, Annibale Cocchi.

Nel 1867 lo troviamo a Monterotondo con la camicia rossa di Garibaldi. Così dà notizie di sé e di quei giorni alla fidanzata che lo aspettava trepidante nella città umbra:

“E’ questa la terza volta che oggi ti scrivo; perché mi restavano ancora a dirti molte cose. E prima di tutto, io non so se a mia madre sia nota la mia partenza. Tu a quest’ora l’avrai comunicata a Galuppi. Ebbene ti prego che a lui tu dia le mie nuove, acciocché egli a sua volta possa darle a mia madre, se occorre…Riceverai da Firenze una copia del giornale il “Diritto”, where you'll find the story than we have written to me this morning. I'm always Pianciani and with the General. It is enough for now to tell you that we have suffered very much and enjoyed .. At this moment pass under my window that our band, which turns playing the hymn of Garibaldi. I feel a feverish joy, that you can not complain in words, but it breaks my heart thinking of the victims who cost us this victory. We have more than one hundred fifty and two hundred dead and more wounded! I leave you to write because I feel that the General has run to the window to talk to the volunteers ... "replied the pen moved. The General gave a magnificent speech, announcing it will shoot the volunteers who steal or commit other crimes. Thus was established the Court of war, of which I am secretary. He finished with two in the afternoon he announced that he leaves for Rome. now is the one! We have an hour ... Email me! Write and prepare a nice red shirt that I have not yet, but I will be in Rome, then barter with the device away from your hands .

Monterotondo, October 27, 1867 "A

his role of responsibility, also mentioned by Anton Giulio Barrili with Garibaldi in the outskirts of Rome :

"The court was composed of Colonel Pianciani, President, me, and Lieutenant Henry Copello, judges added, served as secretary Lieutenant Luigi Morandi, Italy, already known as a gentle poet, prose writer and later as talented and as a teacher of humane letters to the young Prince of Naples. "

Disappointed, but far from defeated, the tone of Morandi few days later, after the sad end of Mentana:

"My dear. After three exhausting days of walking up these mountains, here we are in the Italian State with four battalions commanded by Pianciani. From the agenda by which it was declared dissolved this body and you'll see that you can print you a clear idea of \u200b\u200bhow things have gone our own. We had to yield to French arrogance, but our honor is safe .. The red shirt he has not stained with cowardice. Tell you all that I feel is impossible. Pianciani now crying like a child in the goodbye by the soldiers. To him this campaign costs a few thousand crowns, which passed through his hands. We delivered weapons to the Italian authorities, to cries of Viva Italy. We officers have left the sword. In three days I will be back in my niche of Spoleto. Orvinio, November 8, at seven pm. "

The niche of Spoleto is the desk at the local Gymnasium: Next, Morandi won the 'teaching di italiano nell’Istituto tecnico di Forlì (1874), di Parma e poi di Roma (1879), dove l’anno dopo fu nominato professore pareggiato all’Università di Roma.

Ma la passione per la camicia rossa avrebbe continuato ad agire nella coscienza e nella memoria del Morandi, ormai affermato intellettuale, docente stimato e avviato a una brillante carriera politica. Ecco, alcuni suoi versi in cui si agita ancora il mito garibaldino

Garibaldi diceva a’ suoi guerrieri:

  • Figli! con me si mangia e dorme poco.

Chi a casa nostra non vuol più stranieri,

non deve ma trovar posa né loco,

and valleys and mountains, the whole month,

always in the sun, snow, water, fire.


With me those who want to dress of honor, if

must acquire at face value.

you wear a white shirt:

tingetela of red with your blood.


hath been lost in the sea shell

that dyed purple to tyrants;

hath been lost, and never again be resumed, nor

builds with the gold and deception;

but the holy vermilion

shirt every hour will be seen And passeran thousand years.


long last love of country,

will dye for color;

until the last home of affection,

to dye there any blood in his chest.

Certainly, after Mentana Luigi Morandi knew would have known that political development that was typical of many in democratic: a slow conversion to the idea that monarchy was also Crispi Nicotera, Depretis, Benedetto Cairoli, Alessandro Fortis, eminent men of letters as Carducci

... It is in this great new horizon that is consumed the remainder of the biography Luigi Morandi, critic, philologist, poet, playwright, teacher of Italian literature at the Prince of Naples (1881-1886), a very special experience of teaching well-told how he was educated in Vittorio Emanuele III , Torino, 1898 .


The age of "renaissance prose, which succeeded after the" heroic fury "youth, saw him especially capable of personal letters critical insights - was among the first to recognize the genius of Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli - and hard-working teacher, rich an 'intelligent sensitivity to issues of education and civic literary of the younger generation. Tra le opere che testimoniano dell’originalità dei suoi interessi meritano di essere ricordate Stornelli e altre poesie , Sanseverino Marche, 1867; Sonetti satirici in dialetto romanesco di G. G. Belli , Sanseverino Marche, 1869; Le correzioni dei Promessi Sposi e l’unità della lingua , Parma, 1879; Antologia della critica letteraria , Città di Castello, 1885, che fu la prima del genere “istruttivo e piacevole” con una modernissima attenzione ai testi extraletterari e in un’ottica finalmente antipuristica ; Sonetti romaneschi di G. G. Belli , by LOUIS MORANDI, Città di Castello, 1886 - 1889; Prose and poetry Italian, Città di Castello, 1896; Grammatichetta Italian (in collaboration with G. Cappuccini), Torino 1898,

Luigi Morandi traveled also a brilliant political career: he was elected Member of Parliament for the College of Todi in 1892 and some years later, in 1905, became a senator of the kingdom.

died in Rome on January 6, 1922.

On the occasion of his death Todi wanted to remember the marble with an inscription underneath the arches of the Palazzo del Capitano: Here

grateful City Hall wanted the memory of the illustrious countryman

Grande fu il suo culto luminoso della lingua italiana

onde ebbe la lode di scrittori eminenti

"Chip on Pasolini" by Emilio Michelotti

Camminare a quattro zampe, ritrovare filogeneticamente l’antico rapporto col suolo, con la roccia viva – stele/omphalos del mondo – ecco, per me, uno degli most fascinating aspects of going to the mountains. Ephemeral relationship with the supersensible, with stasis and with the mutation. I'm going to

Pasolini and our thirty-year deprivation of his teaching, "I pretend" sintomaticità in his solitude, his prodigious attendance of both versions of reality - becoming, the immutability - (the bold connection I favored by Alias, supplement of the "Manifesto", on pages 10-11 that headline Throw your body in the fight ) .

Hope and invective, stubborn determination to take the body out of the sunset - the randomness dell’estasi e del pensiero – un segno complessivo che si sa e si vuole contingente e precario ma proprio per questo appassionatamente infinito, metavitale, non-mortale. E una capacità preziosa di far scaturire anche dalla versione forse più funerea – anche se certamente la più potentemente luciferina – della sessualità ( la pederastia, ovvero il sesso più distante dalla procreazione) un senso altissimo e moralmente intransigente dello stare insieme.

"A poet at a time: Francesco Sollima" Gianni Quilici









Help


In 'infinite present where everything comes together and

broken in times when everything collapses,

in the calls for help that did not answer.

dovertela will understand the draw alone.


How you attract the stars in the sky, like all

groups of celestial bodies gravitating

like everything that surrounds us is online;

enough to understand the logic and meaning.

find that we are never really alone.


Francis Sollima only 16 years and has recently written poems. We asked him when he started.

" E 'all'agrario all started last winter, when I had to recover too low to Italian. The topic was just poetry. And while studying the figures of speech it occurred to me to write, so out of hand. I started talking about the war, and given my age, I focused to vent my concerns and happiness without thinking that would give effect to an alleged player. What for me had become a need. "

Despite his age and so on, Francis proves that he has a style and control of matter at a stage of life, where feelings can get out of control self-critical.

read the first verse.

The first verse "In the infinite present where everything converges" propels us immediately in size without limit of time and its unity, then, in the second, as opposed to becoming just "broken times when everything collapses," in which not we have answers "in the calls for help." Here, the beauty of these verses might be summarized thus: the infinite loneliness of moments of time. The conclusion of the verse is a breakthrough approach to life, almost an aphorism: "Understanding of dovertela get away by himself."

In this representation of the human condition and reflection is interwoven in the same rhythm as the repetition, as anaphora, the prepositions, in ' infinite present, broken in moments, in calls for help, giving musicality and strength to the sense of poetry.

The second verse explores the dialectical way, loneliness: it is true that you are alone, it is also true that we are never really alone, because the entire universe is connected: the heavenly bodies to earthly existence. Here poetry has perhaps the same happiness of the first stanza, because the more demonstrative and less visual, but more consequential and necessary.

would then need a long reflection on how to write poetry at school: how to read, how to interpret it, how to write for "pulling out" the desires, suffering, visions that are often left unexpressed and hidden dangers.

"The Battle of Monte Lungo"

di Luciano Luciani


Il clima di umiliazione, di frustrazione e di rabbia in cui versava il nostro esercito (o meglio quel poco che ne rimaneva dopo quello sciagurato 8 settembre) è reso con molta efficacia nel libro di Agostino degli Espinosa , Il Regno del Sud . Scoramento, sfiducia e comprensibile smarrimento di ufficiali e soldati; difficoltà materiali e logistiche; confusione; reticenza e sospetto degli Alleati nei nostri confronti, tutto sembrava congiurare, per impedire che si ricostituisse una piccola parte dell’Esercito italiano in grado to contribute to the expulsion of Germans from the country, according to the votes and the sentiment of almost all of our people.

commands allies - and particularly the British - and suspicious of our army, revealing, sometimes mercilessly and more with the rawness of the winner with the solidarity of the alliance, the previous evidence of low efficiency and poor fighting spirit. And, unfortunately, the disaster of September 8, wanted by the crown and the high command, seemed to agree with these negative reviews.

Yet it was very important moral and political unity regular Italian participation in the liberation of the country by the German presence. Non vanno dimenticate, infatti, le premesse formulate alla firma dell’armistizio da parte degli anglo-americani, per cui il trattamento riservato all’Italia al momento della pace sarebbe stato determinato anche dal contributo militare alla guerra antitedesca. Ma le prove di eroismo fornite dai nostri soldati di quella tarda estate del ’43 a Roma, in Corsica, in Grecia, in Jugoslavia, testimoniarono di una rinnovata vitalità antitedesca dell’esercito italiano.

Inoltre, l’opinione pubblica democratica inglese ed americana insisteva, in polemica anche con i circoli conservatori dei rispettivi paesi, per una nostra diretta partecipazione alla guerra e per offrire agli italiani tutte le occasioni possible redemption from the long night of fascism. Here, for example, as argued by intelligent sense of history, the British Labour MP Ivor Thomas in the parliamentary debate in the House of Commons on September 21 '43 "... there are examples of the combative qualities of the Italian soldiers, who demonstrate how they can combat when they are fighting for the right ... The Italians have not really fought in this war, they fought a war for their hateful. Give them a good cause, and they show that they can fight as well as any other soldier ... the Italian Garibaldi Legion in Spain had some great battles on the peninsula, and contributed greatly to defeat fascism in Guadalajara. "

Thus, while the Allied offensive thrust after landing in Salerno was rapidly running out just beyond the Sangro and stops on the Rapido and Garigliano, the Supreme Allied Command finally allowed it to reconstitute Brindisi, with exclusively Italian, a little body fighting, the First Motorized Group.

Limited to 5500 men, mostly volunteers, the grouping, by force, consisting of a heterogeneous anti-tank battalion from the division 'Piceno', three infantry battalions, one artillery regiment, from engineers, police , Autieri, while the picture was completed official cones young students of the Naval Academy in Livorno. It was up to General Dapino, former commander of the 'wood', the task far from simple, to reorganize, coordinate, mix and men coming from very different experience, winning at the same time disorientation, mistrust, suspicion.

after a short training period at Lecce (and only after a sort of general review, held in late November in Monte crops), the Allies decided to bring in line the Rally Motorsports integrated combat between the troops of the Fifth American Army under General Clark.

Nella notte tra il 6 ed il 7 dicembre, gli uomini di questo ricostituito primo embrione di un rinnovato esercito italiano, prendevano posizione attestandosi a cavallo della importante rotabile Napoli-Cassino-Roma, sostituendosi agli ormai logorati soldati americani del 142° Reggimento. Eravamo ormai alla vigilia del battesimo del fuoco.

Obbiettivo del Raggruppamento era la conquista di Monte Lungo, punto chiave di ogni altra successiva volontà offensiva: un dosso scabro, roccioso, privo di vegetazione saldamente tenuto dal III° Battaglione del XV° Regg. Panzergrenadiere e da esperti reparti della divisione Goering, sistemati lungo posizioni quasi imprendibili scavate nella roccia e nelle caverne. All’alba dell’8 dicembre, tra la nebbia, l’assalto, l’azione, in un primo tempo riuscita, veniva arrestata quando i soldati italiani scoperti sul fianco sinistro e privi di un valido aiuto da parte dell’artiglieria americana, subivano un violentissimo contrattacco tedesco. Fanti e bersaglieri si inchiodavano allora sulle proprie posizioni, resistendo, attaccando di nuovo, misurandosi in feroci, cruenti corpo a corpo con gli sperimentatissimi veterani della Goering. Pur duramente provato il Raggruppamento rimaneva in linea fino al giorno 16 dicembre, quando, nel contesto di un’azione più ampia e meglio concertata, realizzava il proprio obbiettivo: la conquista della quota 343 di Monte Lungo su cui, per la prima After the war, were seen waving the tricolor and with the American flag.

From the American side there were awards - and God knows, if our soldiers and the fragile structure of the Southern Kingdom they need it! - The conduct of our troops. So says in a message to the command of Group gen. Clark: "I wanted to congratulate the officers and soldiers under your command for the success reported in their attack on Monte Lungo and altitude 343. This action demonstrates the determination of the Italian soldiers to liberate their country from German rule, that determination may well serve as an example to the oppressed peoples of Europe. " This is echoed by the gen. Walker, commander of the 36th American Division, writing in January Dapino: "The combined operation for the occupation of Monte Long, who was recently brought to an end, is a great success. The way in which all participants have the troops of their work deserves the highest praise. In fulfilling their duties and act your troops have acted with alacrity and vigor, and have demonstrated an iron will to fight with the enemy. "

Even the international press, on this side and across the ocean, takes hold of the news of the successful debut of our Armed Forces in the war on the Allied side, comforting those who, in U.S. and Britain, had confidence in our people and its soldiers. The same conservative daily Times always faithful to the principles of the British government to reduce the scope of the Italian contribution to the war, can not match in 'hot' on 15 December, silencing the will to fight and heroism demonstrated by our soldiers: "Much has been said about the first appearance of Italian online, and it is now possible to review their test. They suffered heavy losses, a fact which was made against the disability in the early stages of the attack. However, it was a brave disabilities. They advanced to the climb, alpine and shooters, marching and chanting rights. They encountered an unexpected fire with machine guns and mortars on their left flank, who felt secure the error can be as they may not have been. They themselves say that the action started too soon after their arrival in line to recognize the land on which they were advancing; ... Despite the losses under the gun as they approached the enemy to come to combat with bayonets and hand grenades, gained ground, and then had to retreat, but clung to an area of \u200b\u200bthe ground they had gained, and still you cling. "

The price paid by our soldiers in this war story set A second Monte Grappa from someone of the Fatherland, was one of 76 killed, 263 wounded, 166 missing. Without rhetoric and with the simplicity that comes from having fought for a just cause, so it sounds the plaque at the military cemetery at Mount Long: "When it was for the brothers lost hope vanity, madness combat, we just rushing up here, undefeated for you falling, Italy.

What Causes Uterine Polyps After Ablation

GATES STILL ON TELEMATICS

The recent controversy about the death of Lucca trade following the activation of toll lanes computer reveals once more the aversion to the concept of "restricted traffic zone" of this association. It 's always so successful and who lives in Lucca will remember for a long time, after the end of Via S. Paolino, the walls, the closure of Piazza Napoleone, whenever there has been an aversion to these measures, every time he announced the death of Commerce of Lucca and every time it happened exactly the opposite: the walls free from traffic have become the vehicle of tourist attraction that we all know, via S. Paolino a high street commercial value and the same is true of Piazza Napoleone, where the Traffic was limited there are new activities and none of the pessimistic predictions was never fulfilled.
But we're not so sure this time? Let's try to think of Lucca would be like if every administration had given body and then to these fears, certainly would not be the tourist town which has become at least on this and we hope that everyone will agree. If the administration will transfer
giving the green light after 18, because this is a green light, it will not just be assumed that, in disregard of the residents but the city in contempt and disregard of the rules which it itself Administration gave the city and will provide a concept that the rules of the road rather than being a law to be respected as a kind of declaration of intent to take as you want.

ASCOM against the gates

's been just two weeks after the activation of computerized gates, and already the ASCOM calls for decommissioning after 18. What remains, however, if the gates were shut down at 18? After the fact 18 of the ZTL would no longer exist, the new residents in the historic center, just returning from work in quell'orario, find the parking stalls occupied by the usual abusive and everything is as before, worse than before, and the car could go anywhere. . We as a committee and many, most of the residents, which moreover do not share this vision, considerati i soldi spesi per la installazione, attivazione e quant'altro, costituirebbe anche un vero e propri danno erariale. Noi pensiamo che la ZTL vada difesa e che i varchi, pur con tutte le eccezioni legate alla sicurezza e ad altre considerazioni che possano sorgere, siano l'unico sistema per difendere la ZTL e difendere la ZTL vuol dire difendere Lucca, vuol dire ridurre il traffico in una città storica, proteggere le sue vie e le sue piazze ed anche in modo implicito il turismo. Ci sembra chiaro, e sarebbe bene fosse detto esplicitamente senza giri di parole, che chi contesta i varchi telematici di fatto contesta e ripudia la ZTL e dimentica che per la accessibilità ad un centro storico piccolo come quello di Lucca possono essere fatti progetti different from leaving the green light to traffic indiscriminately.

"Lady Susan - The Watsons - Sanditon" by Jane Austen

of Maddalena Ferrari


It These three short pieces, "Lady Susan" concluded an epistolary novel, the two other sketches just begun, made at different times and published only after the death of the writer. First, unlike the novels of the same kind of other authors who preceded him, is not the confession (almost exclusively) of a protagonist, but the collection of letters from various people involved, with a lattice structure, which gives different perspective to the story, with a conclusion of the author, critics place him, though without absolute certainty, in the years 1793-94.

The second was started in 1804 and discontinued due to sad family events (illness and death of the father of Austen).

The third is instead attributed to the last period of life of the writer, whose illness forced her to stop putting it together.

The environment is the usual fiction of Austen : the bourgeoisie and the gentry house, with a rigid class divisions, strict observance of the conventions and formalisms (where "Sir" "Lord," "Lady," "Mr.", "Mstr", "Miss" are the epithets that always precedes a surname, or name, unless the story does not relate closely, or, protagonist, more rarely, a male, in which case it shall be the first name altogether.

" The Watsons" and "Sanditon" have two female characters, respectively, Emma Watson and Charlotte Heywood, who have the characteristics of the typical heroine of the author: reliability, insight, rationality, sensitivity, willingness to reach a 'self-identity and tenacity in pursuing the goal.

In the case of "Lady Susan", the eponymous protagonist is a charming widow and questionable morality that lures men and sends crisis families and marriage plans.

common to all three texts, as well as to major works of Austen, as well as the social milieu, and we could also say topography, a political asset, which the characters practice, some for themselves, for others who, in ' intent to combine social position, dowry, property, but this has to deal with the real wishes of stakeholders, which, if they are really positive, cultivate a sense of serious and successful attempt to realize their dream.

Love is not a romantic feeling, indeed, Austen is at pains to warn against the movements of the heart fans, in "Sanditon" Charlotte says expressly to Sir Edward Denham, who loves the novels that illustrate the magnificence of human nature, those that portray in its most sublime, when the feelings are revealed in all their intensity, those that trace the path of an overwhelming passion (...)".

Similarly, the writer can not stand dudes impulsive and seductive, as the same Sir Edward, or as Tom Musgrave, who like all the girls of "The Watsons", but not to the sensible and pretty Emma.

The love that Lady Susan was able to inspire in Reginald De Courcy, once the Young, discovered the true nature of woman, severed relations with her, continues to make it uneasy for about a year again: "In general, three months could have been enough, but Reginald's feelings were no less fervent constants."

Antiromanticismo, therefore, or rather a sort of interest diffident, almost afraid to be involved

In Unfinished Tales suggests that all things would be completed in the best way, either emotionally, economically for the protagonists. In "Lady Susan," the selfish designs of the owl at the expense of others, especially the unhappy daughter, Frederica, are thwarted, but for her there will be an arrangement more or less honorable, more or less happy, on which the writer, in conclusion, advances of the concerns, but not unbalanced, if not down a suitor for the hand of one who becomes her husband: "For me, I confess to pity only Miss Manwaring, who, after having come into the city and set against such expenses for her wardrobe, which impoverish for two years, with the sole purpose of conquest, was defrauded of what had been a woman ten years older than her.. "

This also gives us an idea of \u200b\u200bbiting final irony of Austen, which explores the events "of three or four families in a country town, far away from history, following the passage of time constantly embroiled in lifestyles, encounters, conversations recorded with meticulous detail, rarely troubled by extraordinary events, and his is a finite world, the only one, it is customary to point out that the writer knew, but this world is viewed with such psychological penetration (the criticism is usual to speak of "domestic realism") and especially with this disenchantment, that very little if they saves. And that little, thanks to rare female figures, which are far dall'identificarvisi, although Austen never resolve this attitude in breaking or rebellion and happiness that some of them reach is necessarily based on those material and social values, which can not be refused, the shattering of a real punishment, which appears as the only possible.

A real, where economic conditions have an essential role, especially for the discriminating role of the woman or wife with a good party (and this is facilitated by the possession of a good dowry), or must be adapted to be a teacher in a school ("I can not imagine anything worse," says Emma Watson's older sister). As for Emma, \u200b\u200bafter having lived with a wealthy aunt, who has kept away from the family of origin, is forced a ritornare dal padre e dalle sorelle senza nessuna rendita: glielo rinfaccia il fratello Robert, facendola irritare e addolorare.

La stessa pesantezza della situazione materiale appare in “Sanditon”, dove lo sguardo dell'autrice si allarga a rappresentare una situazione di cambiamento sociale, sotto l'incalzare del capitalismo: la trasformazione di una località sul mare in una stazione balneare alla moda ( e sappiamo che la Austen odiava Bath, dove fu costretta a risiedere per un po' di tempo). Assistiamo allora a manovre di speculazione finanziaria ed allo spirito imprenditoriale di Mr Parker, un entusiasta iperattivo e in fondo ottuso, che ha bisogno di appoggiarsi nella sua impresa alla old, powerful Lady Denham, Charlotte, after an embarrassing interview with her, sets extremely narrow-minded.

It can be said that the closed-mindedness, hypocrisy, condescension towards what others, to accept, they want from us and from what is fashionable, the enthusiasm and easy short-term, the ' careerism, vanity and narcissism, the calculation of personal gain at the expense of sincerity, not least by themselves: these are the negative values \u200b\u200bthat Jane Austen captures in the society of his time and he despises, his moral claims do not feel so far from us ...
