Appunti :
Teachers are masters at multi-tasking, jumping from class to
class, always alert, juggling and participating in a myriad of
events. They thrive in a world on frantic “busyness” which is
crammed with all things that make up being a teacher in
schools today.
Such teachers are the main cohort of our borrowers and it is
the aim of Co.As.It. Resource Centre to help teachers thrive in
a world that is much too busy. So please always consider
contacting us with your requests for resources or assistance in
any other way. Contact can be made by phone 9349 9018 or
email [email protected].

From: Congiuntivo, che passione!: teoria e pratica per capire e usare il congintivo in italiano,

“Penso che un sogno così non ritorni mai più….”

Trova un uomo che ti aiuti volentieri in casa e che abbia un buon impiego.

“No, Stefano.” Era la prima volta che lo chiamava per nome.
“Ormai lo abbiamo stabilito, che è l’ultima volta che stiamo insieme.”
“E sia” disse Stefano. “Ma allora, se proprio non ci dobbiamo più rivedere, permetta che le dica una cosa
anch’io...”
Le stava davanti in piedi: “Mara...io rimpiango di non averla conosciuta prima.”
Ella abbassò gli occhi:
“Quando prima?”
“Quando era libera.” E aggiunse: “Mara, mi dica una cosa sola: se il suo cuore fosse stato libero, crede che
avrebbe potuto avere della simpatia per me?” Ella assentì con la testa.
“No, me lo dica guardandomi negli occhi.”
Mara obbedì macchinalmente e ripetè: “Sì.”
“Grazie, Mara. Sarà una consolazione magra, ma mi fa piacere pensare che se ci fossiamo conosciuti in un’altra
circostanza, anche lei avrebbe potuto volermi bene. Perchè io le ho voluto bene fin dalla prima volta.”

Dalla quarta di copertino di “Nannarella – Il romanzo di Anna Magnani”, Giancarlo Governi, Minimum fax
La villeggiatura in panchina
Andando ogni mattino al suo lavoro, Marcovaldo passava sotto il verde d’una piazza alberata, un quadrato di
giardino pubblico ritagliato in mezzo a quattro vie. Alzava l’occhio tra le fronde degli ippocastani, dov’erano più
folte e solo lasciavano dardeggiare gialli raggi nell’ombra trasparente di linfa, ed ascoltava il chiasso dei passeri
stonati ed invisibili sui rami. A lui parevano usignoli e si diceva: “Oh, potessi destarmi una volta al cinguettare
degli uccelli e non al suono della sveglia e allo strillo del neonato Paolino e all’inveire di mia moglie Domitilla!”
oppure: “Oh, potessi dormire qui, solo in mezzo a questo fresco verde e non nella mia stanza bassa e calda; qui
nel silenzio, non nel russare e parlare nel sonno di tutta la famiglia e correre di tram giù nella strada; qui nel buio
naturale della notte, non in quello artificiale delle persiane chiuse, zebrato dal riverbero dei fanali: oh, potessi
vedere foglie e cielo aprendo gli occhi!” Con questi pensieri tutti i giorni Marcovaldo incominciava le sue otto ore
giornaliere – più gli straordinari – di manovale non qualificato.

Nonna’s gnocchi by Rebecca Huntley &illustrated
by Ilona Tar, Little People Publishing, NSW, 2014
Stephanie Alexander writes “This delightful story will almost
certainly lead to a gnocchi-making session …make sure
you have some potatoes in the cupboard! Subtly it
reinforces the importance of traditional knowledge and of
how it is passed from one generation to another.”
This book is truly pleasing to the senses with charming
illustrations and a text which is simple but engaging.
Suitable for primary students and for anyone who has ever
eaten gnocchi.

Il Boom Economico
“The years 1948-53 were difficult years for Italy from the economic point of view, but from 1954 onwards
recovery was rapid and, since 1956 and Italy’s entry into the European Common Market, overwhelming. This
was the so-called “economic miracle”: production figures, national income and consumption, all began to rise
dizzily. No sector of industry was excluded from the general growth. The s teel industry, with the new
integrated plants of Cornigliano and Taranto, tripled its production over a few years, while the chemical and
petro industries, both private and state-owned expanded explosively. Italian clothes and shoes made their
mark on the main European markets; building, and the related industries of cement and bricks, did excellent
business.
The most spectacular development was in the automobile industry, in which FIAT by now had a nearmonopoly. The years 1956-67 were the period when the mass of Italians became motorized, and the great
Turin factory, one of the “big boys” of international industry, now produced more than a million vehicles per
year. Following this sudden industrial expansion, millions of farmers left the country-side to look for work in
the cities of the industrial north. This has without doubt been the greatest mixing of population that has ever
taken place in united Italy; not the least consequence of it is that the country’s double face has become even
more marked. Another migration of peoples, of a seasonal and pleasure-seeking nature, on the other hand, is
that of the twenty or more million foreign tourist who descend on Italy’s beaches and towns every year.
Fi a t motor ca rs i n Pi a zza del Popol o, Rome
Finally, after years of stinting and privation, the Italians discovered a certain well -being: consumption of meat
and sugar, formerly very low, rose, and the rooftops became crowded with television aerials, which brought
to everyone, together with the popular songs of innumerable festivals that took place the length of Italy, the
paternal and persuasive voice of preachers and Christian democrat ministers.
The economic miracle also had its heroes. One of these, in a sense, was Enrico Mattei, a valiant partisan who
like an ex-Garibaldino of the late nineteenth century, became a leader of industry. To his name is linked the
development of ENI and the attempt, made with a boldness and enterprise worthy of the old Italian
merchants, to release Italy from the monopoly of the great international petroleum companies. With this
intention, he established a series of contacts with colonial and newly independent peoples, and he is also said
to have financed the Algerian National Liberation Front. He died in 1962, in an air-crash, and sabotage was
immediately suspected.
The economic miracle had its artist too, Federico Fellini, whose exceptional talent sublimates the
exuberance and vulgarity of the new parvenus, the Catholicism and atavistic clericalism, heavy with
Il Centro – Co.As.It Resource Centre Newsletter Volume 22, Issue 4
complexes, of the new Christian democrat Italy, its sense of and taste for sin, its progressive and traditionalist
attitudes.
Downtown Mi l a n i n the 1960s
But like all the other miracles encountered during Italy’s history, the economic miracle had its reverse side.
The building-boom which took the form of the most frenzied speculation, damaged, probably beyond repair,
the quality of Italy’s main towns, and irreparably scarred landscapes unique to the world. Mass-motorization
was artificially swollen beyond the country’s economic capacities, both by the cunning use of techniques of
persuasion and by the State deliberately neglecting to improve means of transport. While thousands of
kilometres of motorways were built, the closing of 500 kilometres of motorways was contemplated, and
public transport in towns was forced to move at walking-pace in the chaos of town traffic.
While there were inconveniences and there was a price to the progress, it certainly cannot be denied that in
the decade of “the boom” Italy managed finally to break the chains of backwardness in which it was held for
centuries, and joined the small number of industrially advanced countries. But what leaves many Italians
perplexed and skeptical when they consider the economic miracle is that there was no parallel social progress.
The condition of Italian workers remains precarious and hard; unemployment, in spite of the safety valve of
emigration, which has involved about 3 million people, still remains at a disturbing level.
What the miracle was not able to achieve was a significant narrowing of the gap between the two halves of
the country. More than any other European country, post-war Italy remains divided between advanced and
relatively backward societies. This dualism is rooted deeply in Italian history, and is linked to the relative
geographical isolation of the south from European commercial and cultural influences, and to its long history
of feudal class relations.
Today, its consequences are seen not just in disparities in industrial structure and living standards, but in
education, literacy levels, administrative competence, and so on.”

Spectacular Spettacolo Shows For 2014!
“Time Warp Part 1 and 2” may be finished, but Spectacular Spettacolo will be back in 2014 with the
final part of the trilogy (for the final year), “Part 3 – Vacanze Romane”. These shows are relevant
for students Prep – 6 and are from our very popular “Time Warp” series (more information on our
shows including sample songs are available on our website at www.leaporcaro.com.au/spectacularspettacolo/).
The shows have been written by Lea and Corrado Porcaro. Corrado has been teaching Italian for
almost 30 years in the Primary sector, as well as having developed many programs for the
Department of Education over the years. Many teachers already use resources that he has created
in their classrooms. Corrado knows the curriculum like the back of his hand and he has written these
shows knowing what teachers (and students) not only need, but want. This is why we have h ad 100%
positive feedback so far!
Our shows are not only dynamic, fun, engaging, interactive and contain fresh, new, popular songs
relevant for the students of today, they also cover different areas of Italy as well as topics that
relate back to the current curriculum. For example, in “Part 3 – Vacanze Romane”, our heroine,
Claudia, returns to Italy and each place she visits, we have a song that relates back to what the
students are learning. Every booking will also include the fantastic teachers’ pack which contains over
a semester’s worth of material (including loads of lesson plans with fun ideas on how to introduce the
language used throughout the show either before or after the students have seen it) , the lyrics to
all the songs sung throughout the show and a copy of the CD. The pack has also been put together
by Corrado. Feedback from teachers in regards to this pack has been extraordinary!

in Paris to the most inspirational and energetic life changing moments living and dancing with the street kids of Latin
America.
CIAO - A Cultural Interactive Experience (Italian Theme)
Inspired by his families struggles & true stories, he wanted to share & celebrate their journey, just like many others at their
time - new immigrants arriving in the 1950's for the first time to Australia, using his accomplishments.
Hence Emilio created ‘CIAO’- A 90 minute show production A story told through dance & theatre touring in theatres
throughout Victoria in 2014.

ALL YEAR ROUND PASTA MAKING WORKSHOPS
We were in the middle of a long hot summer in Italy. The whole
family was holidaying in the tiny village which was the place of
my husband’s birth. We were invited to Zia’s for lunch.
Be there at “mezzogiorno”- she said. We knew not to be late.
We arrived right on the dot of 12:00 and were shown into
the dining room. Zia, was pleased and immediately
started to crack the eggs into the flour and began
making the pasta that we were to eat for lunch.
She did it with such ease and in no time it was cooked
and served with a traditional pasta sauce.
This is Italy, this is family, and this is life!
Let your students feel the thrill of producing their own pasta and taking it home to cook for their
family.
