un professore 3 riconfermato ma maupas cuomo e gavino non tornano manco per niente e i 3 personaggi vengono sostituiti da antonio orefice nei panni di mimmo, pirucchio nei panni di manuel e artem nei panni di simone balestra

EN EL PUENTE VIEJO                  Antonio di Sandro orefice.

Recio maese orfebre, a la hora de maitines, vertiendo con pincel gota a gota el esmalte, en portapaz nielado o el cierre de un misal un floreo regaba de latinos motes.

Por el Puente, entre son de campanas de plata, hopalanda, cogulla y muceta se rozan; remonta el sol un campo de vitral celeste que la sien a las bellas florentinas nimba.

Al sueño ardiente atentos, que los embelesa, absortos aprendices las manos no juntan que tienden desposados en hombros de un aro.

En tanto, con buril tinto cual estilete, cincela, ciego a todo, mancebo Cellini los Titanes en guerra en un puño de daga.

*

SUR LE PONT-VIEUX                       Antonio di Sandro orefice.

Le vaillant Maître Orfèvre, à l’œuvre dès matines, Faisait, de ses pinceaux d’où s’égouttait l’émail, Sur la paix niellée ou sur l’or du fermail Épanouir la fleur des devises latines.

Sur le Pont, au son clair des cloches argentines, La cape coudoyait le froc et le camail ; Et le soleil montant en un ciel de vitrail Mettait un nimbe au front des belles Florentines.

Et prompts au rêve ardent qui les savait charmer, Les apprentis, pensifs, oubliaient de fermer Les mains des fiancés au chaton de la bague

Tandis que d’un burin trempé comme un stylet, Le jeune Cellini, sans rien voir, ciselait Le combat des Titans au pommeau d’une dague.

Benvenuto Cellini è a Roma durante il Sacco degli imperiali

Tra il 6 maggio e il 5 giugno del 1527 Benvenuto Cellini è a Roma durante il Sacco degli imperiali. In realtà già un anno prima a Roma, era stato presente duranti i tumulti dei colonnesi e alla loro guerriglia ostile ai Medici avvenuto tra il 19 e il 20 settembre, quando 8.000 uomini entrarono a Roma per sovvertirne l’ordine. Clemente VII de’ Medici fu costretto allora per la sua protezione e per quella della città, a venire a patti con Carlo V, per poi recedere subito dopo dalle promesse fatte, facendo indispettire l’imperatore e, dando il via a quello che poi sarebbe stato il Sacco della capitale. Benvenuto in quel frangente si era già distinto, tanto che durante le avvisaglie del Sacco, era stato posto sotto pagamento a guardia del palazzo di un suo conoscente, il Del bene, a capo di 50 uomini fidati ben armati avrebbe protetto l’edificio con tutti i suoi averi.

Durante l'attacco imperiale invece, mentre era sulle mura con i suoi amici Alessandro e Cecchino, si ritrovò faccia a faccia con il nemico, con un fortuito colpo di archibugio colpì quello che poi si rivelerà essere il Borbone in persona. L’ufficiale stava spronando i suoi da una scala a seguirlo per scavalcare le mura della città Questo evento però non fermò gli imperiali, così mentre i romani festeggiavano la creduta vittoria, quelli intanto invadevano Roma. Il papa con i suoi intanto si ritirava a Castel Sant’Angelo, dove Benvenuto viene riconosciuto come ”familiare” del pontefice, in quanto suo musico e orefice e fatto entrare nella rocca. Scorto da Marcello Pallone de' Medici capitano d'armi, questo lo invita a seguirlo nella fortificazione senza però poter portare con sé i suoi compagni, che a malincuore dovrà lasciare al loro destino.

Benvenuto arrampicato sulla cima della rocca, vede Clemente VII attraversare il passetto elevato segreto di corsa, per entrare nel castello. È da qui che l’artista può assistere a tutto ciò che accade nella città e ai romani e raccontarlo. Qui Benvenuto si rivelerà un abile artigliere, piazza strategicamente le artigliere e le usa con maestria. Mentre con Antonio Santa Croce un suo capo, esegue degli ordini atti a sistemare al meglio le artiglierie, un colpo nemico raggiunge le mura, pur fermato dal merlo di una torre, un tratto crolla colpendo drammaticamente Cellini. Svenuto, ma creduto morto dai suoi compagni, questi gli mettono in bocca un pugno di terra (una sorta di rito  estremo preparatore alla morte), che quasi lo soffoca. La fortuna vuole che un suo commilitone Gianfrancesco del Piffero, accorgendosi dell’errore lo salvi, intervenendo immediatamente lo medica con una tegola calda imbevuta di assenzio e vin greco e così lo salva. Clemente VII per far capire che Castel Sant’Angelo  ancora resiste, manda una lettera al duca di Urbino Francesco Maria della Rovere, il tentennante capo del suo esercito fuori città, dicendogli che ogni sera farà sparare tre colpi a vuoto. Questo è il segnale convenuto per far capire che la rocca romana ancora resiste. Cellini da buon uomo d’arme utilizza però questi colpi a salve serali, “rinforzandoli” con dei proiettili per colpire il nemico, senza sprecare così polvere da sparo inutilmente.

Un simpatico aneddoto vuole che Benvenuto si attiri le antipatie dei cardinali, questi che per guardare quanto accade in città dalle mura, non si rendono conto che con i loro cappelli rossi attirano i colpi del nemico. È in questo frangente che Benvenuto li avrebbe presi a male parole per allontanarli ma inimicandoseli. Un altro capo di Benvenuto è Orazio Baglioni, questi lo stima molto, nonostante sia arrivato con lui quasi ad un duello per un incomprensione durante la difesa cittadina. Durante l'esercizio delle sue funzioni Benvenuto scorge il “Baccanello”, un’osteria che aveva una particolare insegna, un sole rosso dipinto in mezzo a due finestre. In essa si sospettava ci fossero nascosti dei nemici. Benvenuto dunque pensa di usare quel sole come bersaglio, ma per fare questo avrebbe rischiato sparando di rovesciare una botte piena di sassi proprio dove si trovavano due consiglieri del papa, Jacopo Salviati e il cardinal Farnese a lui poco simpatici. Per non sprecare l'occasione Benvenuto senza troppi tentennamenti fa comunque fuoco. Il colpo riesce alla perfezione, ma come prevedibile fa cadere la botte addosso ai due “parassiti e mangiapane a tradimento” come li definisce poco carinamente l’artista nelle sue memorie, ma colpendo in pieno la bettola e facendo strage di nemici. I due però malconci e spaventati si ricorderanno di questo affronto.

Cellini in seguito in un' altra occasione, con un colpo magistrale d’artiglieria, colpirà in pieno e dividendolo addirittura in due, un ufficiale spagnolo che stava dando ordini a ridosso delle trincee nemiche, l’impossibile e bel colpo a parabola, viene definito dallo stesso vanaglorioso artista “arcata meravigliosa”. Essendo le artiglierie ritenute una rappresentazione demoniaca evocatrice di morte, Benvenuto timorosi di Dio, è spinto a chiedere l’assoluzione dei propri peccati per le morti provocate con questa arma. Assoluzione che Clemente VII provvede a dargli immediatamente, congratulandosi anzi con lui per il suo ottimo operato. In un’altra situazione, Benvenuto si accorgerà che i nemici per occultare alla vista il loro frequente passaggio in una via, hanno posto una trentina di botti piene di pietre sopra un muro. Avendo capito in quale momento avviene il passaggio della guardia, Benvenuto sistema ben cinque artiglierie con le quali fa fuoco contemporaneamente proprio nel momento giusto, colpendo ben trenta soldati nemici.

Avvicinandosi il momento della resa, Clemente VII chiamerà a sé Benvenuto e lo pregherà di fondere tutto l’oro rimasto per poterlo nascondere e di togliere inoltre tutte le pietre preziose poste su questi tesori. Pietre da trafugare, che poi lo stesso orafo cucirà all’interno della veste del papa pronto per la fuga. Altro evento in cui troviamo implicato Benvenuto, è il ferimento del principe d’Oranges. Caricata l’artiglieria con dei “passatoiacci”, ovvero dei ferri vecchi trovati in giro abbandonati, Cellini spara in prossimità delle trincee, a quello che sembra essere un capo, colpendolo in pieno volto e ferendolo gravemente. È Filiberto di Chalons, il principe d’Oranges divenuto capo dell'esercito dopo la morte del Borbone, che ferito viene portato immediatamente al riparo in un’osteria, prontamente scoperta da Benvenuto e dal Santa Croce. Orsini però si oppone a ché si spari su quel luogo, perché proprio in quel momento si stava incontrando una delegazione papale con il nemico per discutere la pace. Poteva il Cellini farsi sfuggire un’occasione simile? Contravvenendo agli ordini e rischiando di far saltare la trattativa, colpisce l’osteria provocando sicuramente morti e feriti, ma anche il risentimento dell'Orsini. Alla capitolazione dell'Urbe Benvenuto lasciando la città, sarà invitato da Orazio Baglioni a comandare una compagnia, ma Cellini preferisce andare dal padre a Firenze portandosi dietro onori e i molti denari guadagnati come soldato, ma anche la convinzione di poter essere un buon uomo d’arme, cosa che turbò non poco il vecchio padre che ancora sperava diventasse un musicista. Benvenuto manifesterà un grande interesse dopo questo fatto per le armi; una passione grande come quella per l’oreficeria. Tutte capacità non comuni che lo faranno sentire superiore sia in campo artistico che in campo bellico, alimentando sempre di più il suo grande e smisurato ego.

Edoardo Garbin (1865-1943) was an Italian lirico-spinto tenor who made a specialty of verismo roles during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  Born to a farming family in Padua, the young Garbin showed musical promise from an early age.  He began working with celebrated bass Antonio Selva (creator of Silva in Ernani and Count Walter in Luisa Miller) in the mid-1880s.  Following Selva’s death in 1889, Garbin continued his vocal studies with Vittorio Orefice (teacher of Aureliano Pertile), who continued to build the young tenor’s technique.  Garbin’s debut occurred on September 6, 1891 at the Teatro Comunale in Vicenza as Don Alvaro in La Forza del Destino.  Within four months, Garbin was singing the Duke in Rigoletto at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples and in October of 1892, he was entrusted with the role of Don Fernando Guevara in the world premiere of Franchetti’s much heralded Cristoforo Colombo at Genoa’s Teatro Carlo Felice. Garbin continued his meteoric rise.  Less than a year and a half after his debut, he created the role of Fenton in the world premiere of Verdi’s final opera, Falstaff.  Was the young tenor really ready to take on such an assignment, though?  Verdi, it seems, had his doubts.  The great composer had originally tried to secure Angelo Masini for the role of Fenton but had to settle on Garbin when the legendary tenor proved to be unavailable.  Verdi coached the role with Garbin for a solid month, during which time the composer fired off a letter to publisher Ricordi, expressing his dissatisfaction.  Verdi complained that the tenor was simply not picking up the part quickly enough.  The composer stated that Garbin needed, “…a pedant who would teach him notes, tempo and clear words well.”  Verdi also complained to Ricordi of Garbin’s habit of spreading his final vowels.  “For example,” he wrote, “when he pronounces ‘che gli risponde alla sua parolaaa’, the ‘a’ is so open that his voice changes and seems to be somebody else’s.”  Somehow, composer and tenor managed to find the right mutual wavelength and Garbin sang in the opera’s premiere at La Scala on February 9, 1893.  Incidentally, the Nanetta to Garbin’s Fenton, Austrian born soprano Adelina Stehle (1860-1945), was to become the tenor’s frequent singing partner, as well as his wife. Garbin built a major career in Italy, but was never invited to sing in North America.  In fact, the English-speaking world seemed to have little use for Edoardo Garbin.  His one season in London (1908) was a total disaster, with one critic describing his Cavaradossi as “miserable”.  Luckily, much of Europe, including Germany, Austria, Russia, Poland, Spain and Portugal (not to mention South America) had a much greater appreciation for the tenor’s talents.  His repertoire included leading roles in such works as La Bohème, Tosca, Madama Butterfly, Manon Lescaut, Fedora, Adriana Lecouvreur, Andrea Chénier, Cavalleria Rusticana, Iris, Loreley, Mefistofele, La Gioconda, La Traviata, Rigoletto, Carmen, Manon and Lohengrin.  Garbin created the role of Milio Dufresne in the world premiere of Leoncavallo’s Zazà in Milan in November of 1900.  He also had the honor of creating four roles in operas which never entered the standard repertoire, Spiro Samara’s Rhea (Florence, 1908), Héllera by Italo Montemezzi (Turin, 1909), Giocondo Fino’s La Festa del Grano (Turin, 1910) and La Dubarry by Ezio Camussi (Milan, 1912).  After passing the age of 50, Garbin began to curtail his operatic performances.  After a final La Bohème at Florence’s Teatro Pergola in 1918, Garbin left the stage for good.  He retired to Brescia, where he passed away in 1943 at the age of 78.   Edoardo Garbin’s death marked the end of an era.  The tenor was the last surviving male singer to have premiered a Verdi opera. Edoardo Garbin made dozens of recordings between 1902 and 1913 for The Gramophone and Typewriter Company, Fonotipia and Columbia.  The tenor runs the gamut from truly stellar to almost hopelessly inept in these discs.  Some of Garbin’s recordings reveal careless musicianship (late entrances abound), a dull and colorless timbre (bringing to mind Verdi’s complaint about overly spread vowels) and painfully flat notes.  During introductions or between phrases he can frequently be heard coughing or clearing his throat.  When he is at his best, however (which is much of the time, to be fair), the tenor offers phrases of vocal and artistic eloquence that are truly breathtaking.

Volley in Maschera, Progetto Giovani sostiene Save The Children

ORTA DI ATELLA. Carnevale e sport. Un binomio che diventerà realtà il 24 febbraio 2020, a partire dalle 9:30, presso il palazzetto dello sport “F.Papa” di Succivo, in via Eugenio Perrotta. E’ grande, infatti, l’attesa per l’evento “Volley in Maschera”, organizzato dal consorzio “Progetto Giovani”, di cui sono componenti società sportive dei paesi Marcianise, Orta di Atella, Succivo, Capua, Parete e Lusciano (Red Volley Marcianise, SFdP Centro Volley Orta, Atellana Volley, Gladiatore Capua, Polisportiva Felix Parete e Polisportiva Felix Lusciano).

Le donazioni ricevute verranno devolute a “Save the Children”, organizzazione internazionale che da oltre 100 anni lotta per garantire un futuro ai bambini in condizioni di povertà. Il fine ultimo è rendere possibili progetti per l’infanzia in Italia e nel mondo. Sponsor ufficiale  “Valfrutta”.

“Il rapporto con Save the Children è nato due anni fa – afferma il presidente dell’ASD Centro Volley Orta,  Antonio Orefice -. Finalmente si sono presentati i presupposti per lavorare insieme ed abbiamo ricevuto pieno consenso per la raccolta fondi. La nostra è una società sportiva di pallavolo, anzi è una scuola Federale di Pallavolo nata nel 2002. Come evidente in questo caso, ci occupiamo anche di attività sociali che riguardano direttamente o indirettamente il nostro territorio. Infatti, da anni siamo a fianco  di ragazzi e ragazze che vivono in condizioni di difficoltà economiche e sociali. In passato abbiamo collaborato anche con case famiglia e cooperative sociali; abbiamo, inoltre, aderito a progetti promossi dalla Regione Campania per la lotta contro la dispersione scolastica, oltre che preso parte a progetti CONI, come  ‘Coni Ragazzi’ e ‘Sport di Tutti’ (quest’ultimo in procinto di avere inizio). Tali iniziative vanno sostenute per rimarcare quanto siano indifesi e martoriati i bambini nella nostra società. Forte è la nostra collaborazione con le scuole elementari e medie dei comuni di Frattaminore ed Orta di Atella: con loro abbiamo partecipato ai campionati federali di pallavolo Under 13”.

L’accento viene posto su quanto i giovani abbiano a cuore iniziative di stampo umanitario: “I giovani sono molti sensibili e sono ben felici di partecipare, anche in modo materiale - affermano unanimemente i componenti del consorzio -. Il nostro territorio può  dare un aiuto concreto, assicurando pieno rispetto dei diritti dei bambini e dei luoghi da loro frequentati. Credo - concludono -  che il Carnevale possa essere una buona occasione per promuovere un approccio umanitario”.

La compagnia “Ricomincio da tre” presenta

Saviano (Na) Mauro Romano - "Olimpo Napoletano" - commedia comica in due atti scritta da Francesco De Cenzo e Antonia Tudisco con l’intento di dar vita a vari personaggi del mondo classico, di attualizzarli e renderli moderni – andrà in scena il 3 febbraio per la 15a edizione della Rassegna Festival Teatrale Città di Saviano, memorial Carmine Mensorio. A presentarla la compagnia “Ricomincio da tre”, con la regia di Raffaella Orefice e scenografie della Bottega Tudisco.

Adottando Napoli come sfondo per la scena,  gli autori hanno inteso esporre vizi e virtù di alcuni degli Dei più famosi della Mitologia Greca, adattandoli a stereotipi contemporanei. Il tema generale resta l'amore nelle sue più svariate sfaccettature, per strappare tanti sorrisi ma anche un pizzico di riflessione sullo sfondo del magico mondo dell’Olimpo Napoletano. E così Zeus - interpretato dallo stesso Francesco de Cenzo, neo diplomato al teatro Totò di Napoli - famoso per le sue scappatelle, si ritroverà in un vortice di imbarazzanti equivoci, quando viene scoperto dalla moglie Era - Raffaella Orefice, presidentessa della Compagnia, nonché regista. Sulla scena si interfacciano vari personaggi: Bacco, Dio del vino (Giovanni Ciaramella),  Eros, Dio dell'amore (Daniele Fiorentini), Ares, Dio della guerra (Antonio Mocerino), Ade, Dio degli inferi (Carmine Camardella), Discordia (Mario Bracigliano). I ragazzi, diplomati e diplomandi al teatro Totò di Napoli, proveranno a condurre gli spettatori in questo particolare “Olimpo”, in un crescendo di risate e divertimento! In questa variegata cornice non poteva di certo mancare Afrodite, dea della bellezza interpretata da Antonia Tudisco che, con ironia, toccherà il tema del dilagarsi dei social e dell'apparenza come valore fondamentale. A completare il cast quattro new entry nel mondo teatrale: i piccoli Ermes (Alessio Buonocore) e Pollon (M. Rosaria Buonocore) entrambi di anni 8 e le due giovani "mortali" Elena (Rita Tramontano) e Psiche (Carmela Russo). La compagnia intende ringraziare per la preziosa collaborazione i main partner:  Tipografia Scala di Nola, Merenna Ristopub di Nola, Buonocore trasporti di Napoli e Boutique del Casaro di Saviano. TRAMA: È il 18esimo compleanno di Eros e tutto è quasi pronto per i festeggiamenti, quando inavvertitamente Era scopre del tradimento di Zeus avvenuto la sera prima, in una festa in maschera. La ragazza misteriosa non è altro che Discordia, sorella di Ares, molto amica di Afrodite. Quest'ultima, per evitare uno scandalo, convince Discordia a mascherarsi di nuovo, per convincere Era che in realtà tutto è stato un equivoco.  In questa situazione si inserisce Eros, dispettoso fino al midollo, che trovandosi in possesso di due pozioni, quella dell'odio e quella dell'amore, decide di mescolarle entrambe nella brocca d' acqua. Prende vita una serie di equivoci, innamoramenti e litigi che dureranno per tutto il corso della commedia e termineranno solo quando Eros, resosi conto del guaio fatto, chiederà scusa. Seguirà una breve riflessione sull'amore e di tutto il suo potere. Inizio spettacolo, quindi, alle ore 20:00 presso il teatro-auditorium di via Falcone e Borsellino in Saviano (Na), con il consueto saluto del sindaco della Città del Carnevale Carmine Sommese e del consigliere della città metropolitana di Napoli, Francesco Iovino. Ad introdurre la serata Maria Grazia Esposito con patron Giovanni Palladoro. Read the full article

Sandro Botticelli nacque nel 1445 a Firenze in via Nuova (oggi via del Porcellana), ultimo di quattro figli maschi e crebbe in una famiglia modesta ma non povera, mantenuta dal padre, Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, che faceva il conciatore di pelli ed aveva una sua bottega nel vicino quartiere di Santo Spirito. Numerosi erano infatti nella zona di Santa Maria Novella (dove si trova via del Porcellana) gli abitanti dediti a tale attività, facilitata dalla prossimità delle acque dell'Arno e del Mugnone[1]. I primi documenti su Sandro sono costituiti dalle dichiarazioni catastali (dette "portate al Catasto"), vere e proprie denunce dei redditi in cui i capofamiglia erano obbligati a dichiarare i propri beni, le rendite e le spese descrivendo lo stato della propria famiglia. In quello del 1458 Mariano Filipepi citò i quattro figli maschi Giovanni, Antonio, Simone e Sandro: quest'ultimo ha tredici anni e viene definito "malsano" e che "sta a leggere", annotazioni in cui alcuni studiosi hanno voluto desumere un'infanzia malaticcia che avrebbe portato a un carattere introverso, leggibile poi in alcune sue opere dal tono malinconico e assorto[1]. Il fratello Antonio era un orefice di professione, per cui è molto probabile che l'artista avesse ricevuto una prima educazione presso la sua bottega, mentre sarebbe da scartare l'ipotesi di un suo tirocinio avvenuto nella bottega di un amico del padre, un certo maestro Botticello, come riferisce il Vasari nelle Vite, dal momento che ancora oggi non esiste alcuna prova documentaria che confermi l'esistenza di questo artigiano attivo in città in quegli anni. Il nomignolo pare invece che fosse stato inizialmente attribuito al fratello Giovanni, che di mestiere faceva il sensale del Monte (un funzionario pubblico) e che nella portata al catasto del 1458 veniva vochato Botticello, poi esteso a tutti i membri maschi della famiglia e dunque adottato anche dal pittore[1].

ITALIAN MOVIE REVIEWS

Life is Beautiful

This film takes a different view of the Holocaust during WWII. Roberto Benigni uses his humor to show the human spirit of life. When the Nazis take Jewish Italian Guido Orefice along with his wife Dora and son Giosue to a concentration camp, Oferice does anything possible to keep his son happy and safe. He makes it seem like they are part of a game and the winner gets a big tank as a reward. The movies manage to make you laugh and at the same time to make you feel for the character’s suffering. It is hard to watch a man whose spirit cannot be broken for the love of his son, even though he is in pain. Near the end of the movie, the prisoners are set free, but unfortunately, Guido is killed. Giosue still believes that they’re still in the game, so it is beautiful to see that one father could cause so much joy and happiness to his child despite all odds. Some believe that this movie is quite controversial for using humor to deliver such serious events, but it does it flawlessly and it is easy to feel the love that the characters have for one another.

Cinema Paradiso

This film tells the story of an unusual pair of friends that share the same love for cinema. Eight-year-old Salvatore befriends projectionist Alfredo and spends most of his time with him at the cinema house where Alfredo works. Throughout the film many important events happen; Alfredo loses his vision, Salvatore is the new projectionist, and he eventually moves out of his town to become a filmmaker. Blasco Giurato’s cinematography is vivid and it makes you feel the love that the characters have for cinema. Even though our main characters go through many difficult motions their friendship only becomes stronger. When Alfredo tells Salvatore, now a young adult, to pursue his dream you can see that he has his best interest at heart. It makes you think, how amazing it must be to have that type of support from those closest to you, even if it meant you never get to see them again.

Malèna

This film tells the story of a young boy named Renato whos is in love, and in lust, with the town’s most beautiful woman Malèna. Malèna’s husband was fighting for the British during WWII. Because of her beauty and the fact that she lives alone, Malèna is often seen as a threat to the other women in her town. Renato becomes obsessed with Malèna, and can’t stop thinking about her. When Malèna learns that her husband dies she turns to prostitution and is even more slut-shamed than she was before, because of this Renato was willing to protect her at all costs. Malèna’s husband eventually returns and he tries to find her with the anonymous help of Renato. After a year Malèna is a completely changed woman, simple and plain, Renato wishes her good luck, which is the only time he spoke to her throughout the movie. The story has bizarre character developments for both Renato and Malèna. Renato finally matures and grows out of his obsession with Malèna, even near the end of the story he was starting to realize the things that matter, like helping Malèna’s husband find her. Malèna is harassed, humiliated, isolated, and raped throughout the movie. She goes through the motion of being hated, because of her beauty to being respected because of how reserved she was forced to be. It makes you think about how women are expected to look and behave.

Slam

This movie tells the story of Samuel, an aspiring skateboarder who dreams of living in California and follow the footsteps of Tony Hawk. He falls in love with a beautiful girl named Alice who gets pregnant by him. Alice decides to keep the baby and Samuel sees his hopes and dreams go down the drain. This is a funny, heartfelt coming of age story. It really emphasizes all the hopes and dreams we all once had as teenagers, and its really easy to relate to Samuel when he believes his life is over. It is fear and a sense of loneliness and failure that makes everyone learn from their mistakes and grow as a person. Slam is surprisingly very relatable to today’s teenagers; it has big ambitions that could seem a bit unrealistic, the fear of teen pregnancy, the fear of disappointing your parents, and the fear of losing your dreams.

My Mother

This story follows Margherita, a very successful film director whose life seems quite difficult to handle. Her newest film is not turning out the way she wants it to, she just broke up with her boyfriend, and she's divorced from the father of her daughter.  Margherita’s brother often goes to visit their mother, which makes her feel guilty since she doesn’t connect with her mother anymore.  Margherita then realizes how dry and emotionless her relationships with the people around her really are. This movie felt really long, and it felt like it kept going in circles, personally, it was very hard to stay attentive during this movie. I feel like the moral of the story is an obvious one, and it took too long to get there. The moral is to not lose yourself and to appreciate the things you have because once they’re gone, you’re going to want them back.

Two Women

This film follows the story of a mother and a daughter during WWII. Cesira is a widowed shopkeeper, mother of twelve-year-old Rosetta. Back in her native rural town, Cesira falls in love with Michele, a communist intellectual, and Rosetta finds a father figure in him. When Michele is captured by German soldiers, the two women flee back to the city where they came from. On the way there they are both raped and experience lots of suffering and trauma. This movie shows a very strange relationship between all the characters. Rosetta is portrayed as a youthful innocent young girl, but after she is raped, she becomes more promiscuous by going out with an older boy and receiving silk stockings. It feels wrong the way the made it seem like the rape made her feel like an adult when going through something like that is traumatic and heartbreaking. Trauma finally kicks in when she finds out that Michele has died. The scenery of the movie was amazing and it really showcases the beauty of rural Italy.

La Dolce Vita

The film follows Marcello, a journalist who writes for gossip magazines over seven nights in Rome. The film is divided into seven episodes, a prologue, an intermezzo, and an epilogue. Marcello’s purpose in the movie is the pursuit of love and happiness. He is engaged to Emma but he cannot accept her maternal and smothering love, and because of this he s constantly having affairs. He looks up to a man who ends up killing his children and himself, so Marcello is constantly in a lost state of mind. Marcello never seems to be satisfied with his love life and is often looking for more from the women around him. The plot is a bit hard to follow since it is three hours long. The relationship between Steiner, the man Marcello admires, and Marcello is often lost and is a bit disinteresting. Otello Martelli’s cinematography is absolutely outstanding and aesthetically pleasing, especially the scene with Marcello and Sylvia at the Trevi Fountain.

Bicycle Thieves

Italy was devastated after WWII and BicycleThieves showcases that flawlessly. The movie follows Antonio a poor man trying to provide for his family along with his son Bruno. Antonio is able to find a job which was very rare for that time, the only requirement is that he must have a bicycle. On the first day on the job his bicycle is stolen, so he and his son go on a quest to find the bicycle. The movie uses non-professional actors, and it contains scenes showcasing real-life locations of Rome after the war. Poverty was very common and people were usually tired and hungry. Watching this movie almost felt like watching a documentary about the effects of war and the harshness of being poor. Italy was never the same after the war, and many Italians were heavily impacted. It is emotional and heart-wrenching to see how relevant this movie is to today’s society.

PORTICI (NA) – Oronero – dalle scritture del fuoco e l’evento Eruzioni del gusto, ospitato al Museo di Pietrarsa nei giorni del 26, 27 e fino alla mattinata di domenica 28 ottobre. Cinema, mostre, convegni, una fantastica cena in collaborazione con Villa Signorini, e al centro l’enogastronomia … vulcanica, in tutti i sensi

Una iniziativa volta a sensibilizzare il rispetto dell’ecosistema e il recupero delle tradizioni agricole, favorendo così lo sviluppo della cultura nei luoghi vulcanici. Sono peraltro stati i temi affrontati nel corso di Archeologia, agricoltura, salute e sicurezza: la sostenibilità all’ombra dei vulcani, uno dei tanti convegni che hanno caratterizzando l’evento enogastronomico  promosso dall’associazione culturale Oronero – dalle scritture del fuoco.

Docenti universitari, ricercatori, imprenditori, rappresentanti di aziende si sono confrontati sulla necessità di preservare la terra e le risorse non infinite limitando quanto più possibile sprechi e impatti ambientali. La plastica, uno degli elementi più utilizzati in ambito domestico e oggi sotto osservazione, presenta dei lati positivi.

«Un contenitore  di vetro a rendere è più impattante della plastica a perdere perché ci sono problemi di massa: per imbottigliare un litro in vetro occorrono circa 350-400 grammi di massa ma neanche 20 grammi per la plastica», ha spiegato il consigliere  delegato della Ferrarelle spa Giuseppe Cerbone.

Dal rispetto dell’ambiente alla valorizzazione dei territori campani. È il caso della Masseria delle Sorgenti Ferrarelle nel Parco Fonti di Riardo. Nel cuore dell’alto casertano dove nasce la più famosa acqua effervescente naturale del nostro Paese, è attiva una collaborazione con il FAI, cui è stato affidato un progetto di riqualificazione paesaggistica e di gestione turistica rivolto al pubblico.

La valorizzazione dei luoghi però non può prescindere dal rilancio delle culture, soprattutto di quelle dei popoli che vivono nelle terre vulcaniche. Sul punto Giuseppe Orefice del comitato esecutivo Slow Food Italia, ha sottolineato: «Ho notato, nella mia esperienza, che i popoli delle terre vulcaniche hanno un qualcosa in più che ha a che fare con l’identità. Pensate alle popolazioni vesuviane: loro si descrivono come vesuviani e a tal proposito mi viene in mente un progetto che anche nel nome esprime questa identità come ad esempio nei Campi Flegrei io Campo Flegreo, un gioco di parole ma anche uno stile di vita».

I lavori, moderati da Raffaele Sacchi, ordinario di Industrie Agrarie del Dipartimento di Agraria dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, sono stati introdotti dai saluti del presidente di Oronero – dalle scritture del fuoco, Carmine Maione: «Abbiamo iniziato insieme un percorso in un luogo simbolo del viaggio. Siamo nel punto in cui c’è il primo esempio di rivoluzione industriale:  le ferrovie che favorivano scambi culturali, viaggi, trasporto di derrate alimenti.  Pietrarsa sembra una nave pronta all’abbrivio e in qualche modo ci sentiamo in movimento».

Non solo convegni, ma tante degustazioni di prodotti tipici (dop,igt,igp) e dei vini campani a cura dei consorzi di tutela. Inoltre, la Regione Campania ha presentato la Guida delle aziende vinicole e vitivinicole campane, redatta  in collaborazione con l’AIS, che poi ha guidato i visitatori in un viaggio attraverso i vini vulcanici.

Gli espositori hanno invece accompagnato l’interessatissimo pubblico in un itinerario di assaggi e conoscenza, dai pistacchi di Bronte alla Colatura di Alici di Cetara, passando per il Limoncello di Sorrento, per il Pane ricco di amore e di antiche tecniche e farine ri-valorizzate, fino al Provolone del Monaco, alla Mozzarela DOP, al Pomodoro del Piennolo, all’unicità dei prodotti della terra vesuviana esaltate dal presidio Slow Food, senza dimenticare Sua maestà la Pizza.

Da sottolineare una interessante novità: l’acqua di mare microbiologicamente pura a uso alimentare. Molto versatile in cucina, l’acqua Riservadimare®, ottenuta con un procedimento che non fa uso di sostanze chimiche, è un prodotto sostitutivo del sale, ma ricco: 92 Sali minerali, magnesio, ferro, potassio e calcio. «Il beneficio – ha sottolineato Giancarlo Gherardelli – è che il prodotto alimentare preparato con Riservadimare® a parità di peso ha quaranta volte meno sodio rispetto al sale comune».

Su tutto e tutti, ha “vigilato” l’Istituto Zooprofilattico del Mezzogiorno diretto dal dottor Antonio Limone: il funzionario addetto alle relazioni con il pubblico Luciano Ranaldi ha sottolineato l’importanza della sicurezza alimentare sollecitando ad un utilizzo più attento del cibo.

Sono stati tali e tanti gli eventi, tanti e tali gli esperti che hanno partecipato a Eruzioni del Gusto: con nostro rammarico non è stato possibile citarli tutti, ma ci rifaremo prossimamente…

Arrivederci al prossimo anno , con Oronero – dalle scritture del fuoco!
