They want a le.,der to providc for their material needs. Jesus impresses on ,them the correct interpretation of thc miracle. Hc insists on a deeper re.,lity:' through ,him, God has become br6,d so that hc may share not only his gifts but his very self. Jesus himself is thc bre.,d from heaven. Thc bre.,d offered by Jesus will givc eternal life. "Eternal lifc" docs not only refcr to the happy existence after death but is synonymous with \'divine life". Through Jesus, who' is the bre.,d of life, the bclicvers partecipate in the Iifc of God. The Holy Spirit dwells in hil}1, inspires ,him and trasfonns his whole Iifc. Here we 4 alia nostra vita. La Madonna del belI'amore riempia tutti i vuoti della nostra anima.

Estate sicuri che nessuna altra persona e nessuna 'altra cosa rubera' piu' iI vostro affetto: avretc trovato quaggiu' iI vostro paradiso. thin!< of the pauline expression "It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in mc". Christian faith spe.,ks of food which is Jesus himself. Receiving the Eucharist does not erasc problems not does it rendcr Iifc fantastic. R.,ther, it introduces a person to the Iifc of faith in Jcsus and helps him transform his ordinary Iifc mnd thc \"orld with the power that comes from God; In becoming man, Jesus does not destroy hml-mn riaiurc but transforms it, rendering it more open to God. Communion is the ultimatc act of faith: to accept Jesus as a food and to believe that through his presence in 'us, wc are. transformcd and become truly the sons and daughters of God.

Leaving the summer of '97 behind us, the Seampagnatas - some were held in the best of weather and others not so lucky, (for instance the well attended Sc.1labrini day 5.1dly had to be eancelled on account of the torren-' tial rain). Happily thc sun shone on the day of the annual procession of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the 'Sagra where I hope readers that your memories - those of you who still celebrate these' nostalgic ocC.1sions "'are as'liappy as ours are: days spent with our families, and friends old and new around us. It will be a 5.1d day when these old traditions die - I hope they don't! It is, on days such as these that 'our Anglo' Italian children feel close to their Italian roots and the customs of their ancestors, in spite of the fact that my husband's siblings and our own offspring are al1 wel1 and truly integrated. After the second world war, five of my husb.1nd's sisters left England,' married' Americ.'his and settled in the United Statcs of America. Lidia the first to wcd out there, married R,1ymond Baldclli an Italian American, his parents were from the Emilia-Romania Region of Northern Italy. Rita married Dominic Vitclli, his parents were Nc.1politan, Ines marricd Pcter Aportria of Greek ,descent. Maria mct hcr intended Jimmy James here in England where he was serving with the Americ.1n Air Force. Jimmy is a Cherokce Red Indian, (if you want to split hairs, he's the only true An!eric.1n, and you should' have tried convincing my mother-in-law (Anita) of that filct when Maria brought him home). 00rina married Ed Zimmerman of 8 Olive Besagni Americ.1n German extraction. My sister-in-Iaw Olga, the only onc of the girls who remained here in England, married Albcrt Cavalli. Albert's parents were from Parma, Northern Italy. Bruno married me - I am what some people c.111 mczza e mezz'l English mother, Anglo-Italian father. Pino's, choice was Rene Rizzi, Rene's parents were both Italian. Remo married an Euglish 'girl, June·Ellis. June is as English as they come, but boasts an Irish grandparent. Johnny the youngest son married Rita Charles who emigrated from South London to this side of the river on her wedding day. The family on the whole get on very welnogether, I would 5.1y 95% of the lived way up in the mountains of Piacenza in a the tiny hamlet of Teruzzi which lies above the village of Morfasso in the region of Piacenza. Anita My mother-in-law, Anita Bcsagni's (nee Fassini) parents Maria Ferri and Pietro Fassini were married in Vernasc.1, Maria's home village in the late 1800's. Pietro's beginnings were something of a mystery, as far as anyone knows he was a foundling, rc.1rcd in an orphanage but he had a half brother whose surname was Nanni. That is, al1 that anyone can remember of Pietro's early days. Famiglia Ferri, however, came from better circumstances. They had a farm which nestled on the outskirts of VernaSc.1. The' children consisted of five gi~ls Italina, Maria, Virginia, Adele and Anita, and four sons Giuseppe was in the anny, Vittorio and Giacomo (Minelo) helped to run the fann and' Ce5.1re - was the local postman (his son Giuseppe took over the job when his father retired (5 ycars ago in i 992). When wc went to Vernasea for the first time to visit the birthplace of my husband's parents wc were there for two days unable to find the old Ferri fann. I! wasn't until wc mentioned Pino "Postain" (dialect for postman), Maria Ferri nee Fassini. The photo was taken in that a resident pointed Vernasca, wailing for Pietros return. out the house which was virtually 100 yards from time (none of us are 5.1ints) so of the one and only smal1 hotel in which course there are the odd disagree- we were staying.

The Centro Scalabrini Imd the drama o(emignltion. It begs reminding tile readcr that the Scalabrini congregation is a inissionary ordcr founded in 1887 to minister to Italian emigrants and thcir descendants around the world. Emigration lies at the heart of the very ra/son d'etre of the organisation. which establishes an important distinction between emigre and cmigrant. or, in Italian, between emigrato and emigrante. Emigrato is preferred by the Scalabriniani fathers because it indicates a pennancnt condition. In the booklet prepared for the 25 th anniversary of thc Centro, Padre Umberto Marin writes an intcresting history of thc foundations of thc Centro. He stresses that one of the roles of the church is to challcnge the common vicw according to which migration is a tcmporary phenomenon. From the very beginning, Mons. Sealabrini complains "che si parlasse di Emigranti e niente atTatto di Emigrati. cioe si ignorasse iI Icnto. lungo e difficile proccsso dell'integrazionc. Oggi ci siamo accorti che il fronte migratorio piu chc prowisorio C invece mutevole'per cui. pi~ chc sbaraccare, occorre un diuturno e arduo sforzo di aggiornamento pastoralc di 18 Anne-Marie Fortier strutture e mctodi. visto che iI fenomeno migratorio. lungi dal ridursi ad una localc e passcggera calamita sociale. va assumcndo oggi proporzioni da capogiro". For the· Scalabriniani fathcrs. emigration is never ending; even when settled in anothcr country, emigration is a pcrmancnt condition of existcnce, if only by virtue of the fact that emigrants maintain tics in at least two ditTcrent locations at· once. This is what I call a diasporic mode of existence: that is a life marked by attachmcnts. links and oncn journcys bctwecn at 1c.1st two countries. The mandatc of the mission is captured in one of the Chicsa dcl Rendcntore's four staincd-glass windows. In this' 'window wc sce Mons Sc.1labrini encountcring emigrants at thc Milan train station in 1887. (sce photo) thc incidcnt said to be at the origil!al of Ihe foundation of this missionary ordcr.

In the foreground. stands the foundcr himself., and. slightly behind him. two 'pioncers' (sic) of thc London Mission - P Waltcr Sac" chctti. foundcr of the Ccntro, and the late P. Silvano Bertapellc. In the background, on the len of the tracks, stand two figures. a man and a woman, with their luggage, looking towards· the globc, thcir back turned against us. In this representation of the Scalabrini mission a similar vcrsion of which cxists in thc Chapel of the Scalabrini sccn in Rome - the train station sY!llbolically portrays a zone bctwccn Italy and abroad. A zone whcre emigrants escape poverty in sc.'1reh of a better life. The train station, or more specifically, as Rcnato Cavallcro suggests. the train tracks. act as a symbolic hyphen joining two national boundaries and two locations. The railway figures as a hyphen linking Italy and London (or any other place). The railway is like a border zone bringing together two distinct, yct ovcrlapping. histories and places that shape the identity and experience of Italian emigrants worldwide. Images of emigration are pervasive in the Chiesa. The other three stained glass windows represent bibli<:'11 scencs that spc.'Ik. cach in its own way, of migration: the Flight to Egypt ("First drama of emigration"); tile Pcntecostal family (''<L'espericnza dclle migrazioni umane c stimolo e richiamo alia fraterita pentccostale. dovc le diITcrenzc sono annonizzate dallo spirito e la <:''1rita vive nell'accoglienza dcll 'altro): Emigration, in sum. is tile inaugural moment of the Centro/Chicsa's cthos. It is conceived as whcre Italians in London comc from. and it is re-articulated in the constitution of a ncw, localiscd. yct plural discoursc of idcntity. '''Pcoplc do not know where thcy are going. if they ignore where thcy are from", wrote Umberto Marin in thc 25 th anniversary booklct of tile Centro Scalabrini (Dccember 1993). Thc task that the Centro scts itself is to make the link, to act as tllC hyphen ,in the transition from tile drama of emigration ot the consolidation of a rencwed and emancipated idcntity. . What I found striking in the Scalabriniani's view of emigration. is that it sccks to turn it into a positive • idcntity: onc which would cancel the notion of the foreigner and redccm Italians from thcir marginality. In othcr words. emigration is not a liability but a new source of identity and po\Vcr. This was apparent in the context of the debate over new voting rights for Italian cmigrants. In 1993. the pages of La Voce were dominated with discnssions on new electoral Icgislation which would not only allow Italians to votc in Italian elections from abroad, but also to elect emigrant represcntatives in the two chambers of thc Italianparliamcnt. The latter was the most contentious aspect of the bill. Rather than September 97 ., I :if;~lLA voting for a collc.1guc within thcir con!une or origin in Italy (or, that of theIr parents/grandparents), Italians abroad would elect rcpresentativcs for their own constitucncy abroad, which woul~ be one of four: Europe, NorthAmcnca, South-Amcrica, and AsiaAfrica-Australia put togethcr. Thc proposcd Icgislation provided for the election of 30 emigre represcntatives: 20 MPs (out of 630) and 10 senators (out of 322). Suffice to say that this particular clause was instnnncntal in the rejection of thc.bill by thc Italian senate in November 1993. A number of London Italian representatives rallicd in support of this new election bill in their own stmggle to have a greater say in the dccisions taken in Italy about the status and destiny of Italian emigrants. In,other words, London Italian spokesmen claim that "the separation betwccn those who decide and those subjected to the decisions seems too obvious" and that it is high time that Italians abroad should be "craftsmen of their own future". London .Italian leaders are stmggling for the recOgnition of emigration as the basis from which a distinctive identity .may emerge. In a meeting on the voting bill,. where Senator Giacovazzo met with London emigrant spokcsmen, Lorenzo Losi spoke of emigration in the following tenns: "I reaffinn that this emigration distinguishes itself by the way it integrated itself even if maintaining ... !ts p~per italianilll and in fact impos1I1g It to the host country. Silent labour, surpassing difficulties without making a fuss, acceptance of the typic.11 and ·spccific· contradictions from those living away of thcir COUlI-. try of birth, are regular occurrences in many cases. On the othcr hand, the friend operating in the social,. particularly the missionaries and hC.1ds of patronati... could tell us about so many other life stories, could tell us about the solitude and the difficulties encountered daily in cities as well as in the periphery... And it is for this reason that we disagrcc with those who claim that this community has no problems. Instead, we say that this commuity lives and oftcn solvcs its problems without making a din." It is on these grounds that Losi continues to suggest that cmigrants need proper representation within the Italian state. Grafted to this central concern is the recognition of the unique vantagc point from which emigres might serve Italy: the "ltal-· Sel/embre 97 COMUNITA' ITAUANA ian patrimony beyond the confines (of Italy(" represents and ~'incalculablc resourcc" for Italy. Thcrefore, thc rejection of thc bill was fC.1d, by London, as denying thc recogni. tion of emigration as a legitimatc point of convergence and a basis for thc fonnation of a political consituteney. In snmmary, these local politicians simultancously mimic and challengc nationalist conceptions of culture and identity. On thc one hand, not only do thcy defcnd voting rights for Italians abroad in thc namc of Italian national unity, but thcy also contcnd that the struggle against assimilation is won only through rencwed strong ties with Italy, viewcd as thc 'original f.1thcrland',. cradle of an 'original',. corc culture. On thc othcr hand, they break down national boundaries by proposing a ncw identity that is not bound to a single territory, but that emerges from the very experience of displacement and multieulture. This was symbolically nc.1tly captured in the Simbofo degli Italian; all'Eslero (SI E). introduced by La Voce during the debate over voting rights. Thc SIE. is thc symbolic reprcscntation of what is also coined I :-Iftm Italia; "who lives far away". Both thcsc labels suggcst thc preservation of the original fathcrland (patrial, Italy, as a fixed gcopolitical cntity: its borders are preserved by locating thc Italian diaspora aWestero or within another Italy. So thcre is thc doublc idc.1 that in order to rcdccm themselvcs from invisibility - in Britain and in Italy - Italians need to return 'homc', as it wcre, but thcy return with a differencc. The SIE nc.1tly encapsulates thc tcnsion, ambivalcnce and tenuous boundary be\I'ttn being in London (or Britain) and coming from lIaly, betllttn being cmigl:lti and Italiano. betwccn bcing invisiblc foreigncrs and invisible italian citizcns, in being Europc.1ns in Britain: What thc Scalabriniani fathers are allempting to do is to go beyond thc dividing Iinc betwccn here and there. bC\l'ttn London and home, betllttn past and present, and to build a positive identity from the vcry experience of emigmtion. Somc of you might not agree; you might want them to fight for voting rights in , . Ghiesa del Redentore today Britain rather' than in Italy. Somc might resent the label of emigrant and prefer idcntifying yourselves as British-Italians, or Italians residents in Britain. This is highly debatable and variablc, And I am not here to say what is besl. Thc point is that thc way La Voce and its editors speak of emigration brc.1ks away from seeing it as a liability. There is someting to be said about defining eullural identity in a way that does not necessarily rely on the inc.xtricablc association of culture and territory. Emigration nccessarily implies identification with at 1c.1st two countries; it implies that we havc allachments, such as family ties etc.. in different parts of the' world. Hcnce in this respcct, it challenges narrow nationalist conceptions that cmphasise that those ,vith mulliplc allegiances are not true nationals, or a mcnace to social cohesion. To concludc, SI. Pcter's and the Ccntro Scalabrini speak of different things in diffcrent yct complementary ways. They are similar in that thcy constitute operations of creating a space of commonality for Italians in London (and perhaps Britain). What is common to SI. Petcr's and the Ccntrol Chiesa, is that Italians use the P.1st to make scnsc of thc prescnt ·[\Dd to rc-invcnt themselvcs. They differ, howcvcr, in their focus. St Peter's is presentcd as the hc.1rt of thc carly selllcment of prescnt day Italian resi-" dcnts in Britain. whilc thc Centro and its chureh emphasise thc experience of emigmtion as the shared origin. Put togcthcr. these stories join geography and cxpericnce. Thcy also create a particular history for Italians, all ,vith its place and moment of ogirin. And by doing so, they providc thc symbolic· tools to distingish Italians not only from Britons, but also from other immigmnts living in Britain. 19 t-.. 0- i ~ & t.5 '" Exciti1lg lounge and dining 1"00111 sllites are available ill a beallti/1I1 selectioll of cololl rs alld designs.
