Alberto Marozzi's memories about Pam
part 3
I told him, as Pamela had suggested, that I had to meet his friend at the bar. He let me pass, I didn't go to the bar but to the 315. I knocked, she opened me still asleep.
It was about eight o'clock, I walked in and the first thing that struck me was the picture of Jim Morrison inside a silver frame. For the rest there was a bit of clutter, scattered linen, envelopes that left you thinking about shopping, snakeskin boots, jewelry etc. She kissed me and called the room service for breakfast. As soon as the waiter arrived I hid in the bathroom. Not even the Marines would have been able to get out of the room. I had camouflaged myself with the upholstery of the environment, now I was inside the room with Pamela and I would not have left (by the way, it is useless to tell you that after the kiss given to me inside the photo booth in Piazza Bologa I fell in love... cooked, practically).
We had breakfast very quickly, after which she showed me more pictures with Jim, almost to convince me that it was true, but I didn't give a damn, I loved her madly.
Obviously she was in déshabillé, since she was in bed when I knocked on her door. In just under thirty seconds I was also in déshabillé, we both slipped into bed (terrible!) and ... I save you from telling you everything that happened. I just know that when we decided to take a shower and go out for shopping it was six in the afternoon.
We skipped lunch but I didn't even notice it.
Ah, love that magic (I say something obvious), but with Pamela it was more than sublime, celestial, Eden; for me it was something that even now, 1998, I can feel with the same intensity that I felt then. It seems little without taking notes ... amazing how a person can continue to live forever, even after death, inside you... When a person loves another person it really is forever. Sweet Pamela, I prayed so much for you. Who knows what infinite world you will be in, now 25 years have passed since your death but in me you are still alive and you will be forever with my prayers. I love you.
🌟 Very special thanks to A who sent me the book pages from Alberto Marozzi's memories meeting Pam 🌟

Why is Avi Shlaim recycling ‘Baghdad bombings’ theory?
Why is Oxford professor Avi Shlaim blaming Zionist agents for forcing the Jews out of Iraq with a series of bombings? The answer lies in his new childhood memoir, argues Lyn Julius in The Jewish Chronicle:
Avi Shlaim, a professor of history at Oxford, has been no stranger to controversy, attracting criticism from his fellow academics.
Benny Morris has called Shlaim “sloppy”, and slammed his work for “one-sidedness and plain unfairness.”
Now in retirement, Shlaim has just published Three Worlds: Memoir of an Arab-Jew. This is a personal account of his childhood and teenage years straddling three worlds: Iraq, where he was born, Israel where his family resettled, and the UK, where he has lived since 1966.
Aged five, his was a brutal uprooting from a comfortable Baghdad mansion with servants. At a time of rising antisemitism during the 1948 war with Israel, the family fled Iraq to begin new lives in Israel. His father, a prosperous importer of building materials with influential Muslim friends, was completely undone by the move and his much younger wife, once a society hostess, was forced to work as a telephonist.
The marriage broke down. Young Avi brought his emotional baggage to his Jewish school in London, where a friend testifies to the fact he smuggled in non-kosher burgers to spite the headmaster.
During his academic career, Shlaim became more and more stridently anti-Israel. Today he calls it a “colonial settler state”, even though Mizrahi Jewish communities, now comprising over half of Israel’s Jews, predated the Arab conquest and Islam by 1,000 years or more.
The “Arab-Jew” of the title will raise a few eyebrows: the expression is used by some anti-Zionists who deny Jews from Arab countries a separate identity.
But the plaudits have been flowing from reviewers’ pens for Avi Shlaim’s new book. Eugene Rogan, author of “The Arabs” called it the best book he had read all year.
Max Hastings had this to say in the Sunday Times: “This remarkable upside-down tale… A personal story, not a polemic… provocative… His personal odyssey confers on Shlaim an exceptional authority for his words; he can say things that others of us cannot… his thesis deserves to be considered with respect.”
The thesis in question is that “the Zionists” planted bombs in Baghdad to help eradicate the presence of Jews in Iraq. “The shocking truth about the Baghdad bombings of 1950 -51” blares the title of a review by Justin Marozzi in The Spectator.
But Shlaim’s theory is far from conclusive. The only fatal bombing took place in January 1951 (six weeks before the deadline for legal Jewish emigration from Iraq was due to expire) in the Massouda Shemtob synagogue, then being used by “the Zionists” as a registration centre for departing Jews. Three of the five bombs were planted three months after the emigration deadline had passed and caused no casualties.
It is a mystery why “the Zionists” might have thought it necessary to bomb the synagogue when, by late 1950 a backlog of 80,000 Jews, who had already registered to leave for Israel, were stranded in Iraq. Indeed, the Iraqi government toyed with the idea of dumping these Jews on Israel’s border with Jordan or in the Kuwaiti desert because Israel was not shipping them out fast enough.
All the evidence for the bombings points to the nationalist Istiqlal party as the culprit. An Istiqlal member confessed to an Iraqi historian, Shamel Abdul Kader, that he planted the first bomb in April 1950. The Israeli new historian Tom Segev produced evidence blaming the synagogue bombing on Iraqi nationalists.
Iraqi Jews already had reason enough to seek a haven in Israel – rising pro-Nazi sentiment, the memory of a vicious Baghdad pogrom in 1941, the execution of the wealthy non-Zionist Shafik Ades in 1948, arrests, extortion, racist laws persecuting and dispossessing them. A vibrant community of 150,000 is now reduced to three Jews.
But Shlaim claims there was no antisemitism in Iraq until the Iraqis ‘turned on the Jews’ for their alleged complicity with the British invasion of 1941 and the foundation of Israel.
It is a travesty that Shlaim should not only fail to blame Arab regimes for the mass ethnic cleansing of their Jewish citizens, but that his reputation as an Oxford academic should lend ‘exceptional authority’ and respectability to these highly controversial claims,
What lies behind Shlaim’s anti-Zionism? In reviewing ‘Israel and Palestine’ Benny Morris pronounced himself puzzled.
“Many intellectuals, in Israel as in the West, have been moved by the Palestinians’ history and their plight, but at the same time they have remained sympathetic to Israel’s predicament…. In Israel and Palestine, by contrast, there is no sign of any such complex sympathy.
“For Shlaim, Israel and its leaders can do no right. It all begins to seem very personal. What is the source of this bias and this resentment? ‘
It appears that Shlaim’s memoir holds the answer. Israel is responsible for his unhappy childhood, his family’s impoverishment and his broken home.

Alberto Marozzi's memories about Pam
part 2
She seemed very annoyed and I saw that she peeked to see where I was. After about ten minutes I came back and she asked me if I could take her back to the hotel; I immediately said yes, of course. We came out of the Piper to the envy of my friends. Just outside she asked me to go for a tour of the city before returning to the Hotel de la Ville. I showed her Rome, at least the classic things such as the Colosseum, Janiculum, Roman Forum, Capitoline Hill etc.
I drove her back to the hotel and she suggested I go up to her room. I said yes but the night porter did not agree, to which she said to me: "Listen, I have a friend who is in room 314, early tomorrow morning you show up at the reception and say that you go to him, and instead come and visit me at 315". Having said that, we left the hotel, got back in the car and headed towards Villa Borghese. I broke into a dark place, turned off the lights of the car and we started talking.
She told me her name was Pamela Courson, she was engaged to Jim Morrison, the singer of the Doors whose music I obviously knew and she immediately got excited; also because in 1968 the Doors in Italy were known by a few. She also told me that they had to get married, I think in Paris. At one point she resumed the initiative of kissing me telling me that I was very nice to her and that I resembled a dear friend of hers named Paul Kantner, guitarist of Jefferson Airplane.
It was very true, we are still like two drops of water. I pulled down the seats of the small Fiat 500 but we don't even begin to kiss each other that a sudden light almost makes me take a shot: "Police!". I recomposed myself, got out of the car and started talking to the agents, and explained to them, while showing the document, that the girl was American and had a passport in the hotel; they wanted me to make the record for obscene acts. At the time I was working at Contraves Italia, a semi-military company, and with a report of that kind I would have lost my job. They were very understanding.
After those moments of panic I brought her back to the hotel and as I returned to my house I could not believe in this very short adventure but full of energy. Could it be that fate had made me meet none other than Jim Morrison's girlfriend? I could hardly fall asleep, but only for a few hours. I woke up and in four and four I was in front of the doorman of the Hotel.

L'ULTIMO COLPETTO DEL "ZANZA" – A RIMINI È PARTITO IL DIBATTITO SU COME RICORDARE IL PIÙ GRANDE CHIAVATORE DELLA RIVIERA, MAURIZIO ZANFANTI DETTO “ZANZA”, CHE VANTAVA SEIMILA CONQUISTE ED È MORTO “SUL LAVORO”, NEL 2018, MENTRE ERA A LETTO CON UNA TURISTA – LA MADRE HA CHIESTO AL COMUNE DI INTITOLARGLI UNA STRADA. L'EX GESTORE DEL “BLOW-UP”, IL NIGHT DOVE IL “VITELLONE” LAVORAVA COME PR, RILANCIA: “È POCO, SERVE ALMENO UN BUSTO, O UNA PIAZZA” – MA L'ARCIGAY NON CI STA: “È UN MITO DA CUI RIMINI DEVE STACCARSI”
Estratto dell’articolo di Marco Marozzi per il “Corriere della Sera”
«Un benefattore», si illumina l’architetto Luca Tausani, creatore di discoteche, colui che tramutò la luciferina Baia degli Angeli di Gabicce nella pacificata Baia Imperiale. Volare con Zanza, il più grande amatore della storia in bikini? «Un mito. La pubblicità di un tempo che fu. Come il Paradiso sui colli di Covignano, la discoteca da cui Umberto Eco paragonava Rimini a Los Angeles. Da anni cade a pezzi», filosofeggia Franco Sangiovanni, scrittore della Dolce Vita che dal Pavaglione di Bologna correva fino a Riccione.
[…] appare il fantasma benigno della Rimini capitale mondiale delle vacanze: Maurizio Zanfanti in arte Zanza, colui che amò «almeno seimila turiste», morto a 63 anni nel 2018, mentre faceva l’amore con una fanciulla assai più giovane. «Caduto sul lavoro», lo onorano al Gran Caffè Vergari, via Rimini, Riccione, dove superstiti latin lover si riuniscono per giocare a carte.
Zanza è la riviera che sognava di potere tutto. I pullman dai paesi scandinavi arrivavano fin davanti ai locali dove lavorava. Carichi di ragazze. Zanza era il «buttadentro». La sua mamma, Teresa Succi, ha chiesto di ricordarlo: Rimini gli dedichi una strada, almeno una targa. Ha aiutato tanto il turismo».
«Mi sembra troppo poco — rilancia Giuliano Lanzetti, figlio di Walter, il padrone del Blow up, il piccolo night dove lavorava Zanza —. Ha dato un contributo fondamentale. Non solo nei suoi trent’anni di attività: ancora oggi registi, documentaristi e inviati mi chiamano per farmi raccontare la storia di Maurizio. Gli venga dedicata una statua o un busto, sono pronto a pagarla di tasca mia, da erigere nella nuova rotonda di Bellariva che è ancora senza nome».
L’Arci Gay non ci sta. «È un mito da cui Rimini deve staccarsi», dice. La riviera della politica rimugina, Riccione è commissariata, Rimini cerca di conciliare simboli anche popolani con la grande storia di Fellini. Tutti parlano di «qualcosa da inventare per rilanciare il turismo».
Il Blow up è chiuso, scantinato buio e intrigante, Tausani voleva farci una parete su Zanfanti, «un maestro, tanti lo hanno seguito imitato, era il dopo Vitelloni». Un’epoca è finita come per l’elegante Embassy dove furoreggiava Silvio Berlusconi. Gli anni d’oro si sono ristretti anche per le discoteche sui colli. Zanza è rimasto nella leggenda.
«Aveva cominciato a 15 anni — sospira Ivano Moscato, amico di sempre —, aveva imparato le lingue nei locali, poi era andato in Svezia, Norvegia, Finlandia, si era perfezionato. Era portato. Trattava bene le donne. Era gentile». Ai giornali locali arrivano ancora lettere di protesta perché la parrocchia dove aveva fatto cresima e comunione non lo aveva voluto per il suo funerale. La Curia riminese fu costretta a un comunicato per spiegare che era stata la scelta di un prete singolo. «Italienischer Papagallo machte amore mit 6.000 fräulein» titolò la Bild .
«Una statua sarebbe un richiamo potentissimo anche per il turismo», sogna l’amico «Coccola». «Un pierre unico, uomo di pubbliche relazioni senza saperlo, che ha reinventato il mito delle riviera quando dopo i vitelloni anni 50-60 sembrava dominio dei ricchi bolognesi», storicizza il colto Tausani. […]
