SUL TERREMOTO E SUI TERREMOTATI
Questa volta vogliamo" ancora parlare del terremoto. Se !le e
gia 'parlato tanto ch~'sembra stia diventando un argomento di
moda come il footbail. Abbiamo visto·tanti programmi alIa televisione - abbiamo seritito accuse al governo, alIa mafia, ai
ritardi nei soccorsi. Ci sono le grandi discussioni sulLs ri•
costruzione 'dei paesi, le polemiche, sui soccorsi che partono e non, arrLvano
quelli che ne arrivano senza necessita •

Anche noi, Comunita Italiana di Londra, abbiamo fatto discussioni suI terremoto,
e sui terremotati - spec~almente suila nostra 'gente che e venuta qui a Londra
dopo aver perso casa, parenti, amici.e che estata accoltadi1L propri qari residentiqui. Anche noi aboiamo fatto discussioni per vedere. come si :potevano aiutare; abbiamo discusso fra di noi, fra ,maritie moglie,' fra genitori e figii'
per'vedere quant~ soldi e quanti vestiti ,potevamo,raccogliere. Abbiamo discuss~
fra di noi per incitarci a fare il bene, a dare, a donare. E il .frutto delle
nostre discussioni e stato che sono arrivati
moltissimi quantitativi
di bian-::
.'
.cheria e tanti soldi: abbiamo discusso ·per fare il bene e 10 abbiamo fatto. In
pratica come Chiesa Italiana, ci siamo regolati in questo modo: nelle, aule della
Scuola abbiamo messo la'biancheria che ci ,portavano, biancheria in ottima.condizione; sono arrivati anche un
duecento vestiti completamente
nuovi
da una ditta;

per due mesisiamo stati a completa disposizione della gente che veniva a sce~
gliere la roba. Se qualcuno non riusciva a' trovare le sue misure ,(specialmen~~
per le scarpe) abbiamo dato i soldi, perche potessero comprare le cose neces~
sarie e nuove. Forse due 0 tre ·volte non abbiamo potuto accompagnare l~ 'pprsone
.perche abbiamo avuto chiamateurgenti,

Con i soldi .che la gente· ci ha dato' abbiamo siutato t~nte fam~glie"abbiamo cerca to di risolvere le situazioni. Quando la gente si presenta al nostro ufficio,
per prima cosa· ci informiamo se sono registrati a1- Consolato: infatti e molto i}ll""
portante per loro che'mettano i documenti in ordine alerimenti posson.o perdere
molti benefici per la ·ricostruzione. Inoltre li abbiamo inviati alIa ACLI per
vedere come risolvere la pensione 0 la Assistenza Sociale. Poi, d~accordo con
il Consolato e'con gli altri P~dri, abbi~~oda~o somme d~ denaro.
Siamo riusciti a mandare famiglie in Canada, in .Svizzera dove hanno potuto veramente in~ziare una nuova vita. Abbiamo aiutato alcuni giovariissimi. che avevano
messo in casa genitori e fratelli a sostenerli e' a pagare l'affitto fino a
. q~ando qualche familiare ha trovato lavoro. Alcuni giovani, che sono scappati
in Italia a prendere i loro parenti, al rltorno si sono trovati ,senza lavoro:
.abbiamo sotenuto queste famiglie fino a quando' la situazione e'migliorata. Ab~
bi'amo '8'iutato tutti quelli che si sono ri.volti a noLo Li abbiamo aiutati con i
vostri soldi - perfino quelli che si sono sposaci qui eprovenivano dalle zone
terremotate, hanno avuto un deg~o e completo matrimonio. Con un giovane le
'cose nono sono andate bene:
venuto per aiuto (la sua famiglia ad ogni modo era
gia stata abbondantemente aiutata), gli ho rivolto qualche domanda per cono~

PROCESSION SUNDAY
"
•
'Procession;Stinday was one of the'major events. of the year in the 'quartiere
ita~iano', pre~aratioris beginning· weeks beforehan~, everything·had to b~ right
on 'the day;
. '
,We
turned out " on Procession'Sunday
- I wore white
shoes.
. were all,immacuiately
. ...
,
white"socks" and, white satin trous'ers. We would watch the procession come along
'the top ;f'Eyr~'Street:Hill, which is narrow, ana go 'through two great 'decorative
golden, gates <?p,et(ed by 'two men in papal dress. A long string of electric bulbs',
all colours" all hanging, dowh Eyre 'Street 'Hill 'and 'up Great Bath Str~et, hanging
from hous~,to'house'would decorate the streets;. These illuminations were paid
for by all the families contributing a few copp'ers', and though ,today they might,
seem trivial', ,at the time the decorations were marvellous, everything was beautifully lit up.
tho~e days Procession Sunday was ,the focus of the celebrations
wnich lasted for 'three· days - on Saturday night there would be singing, dancing
and:musi~,wi~h,the'North,HydeBoys from Mill Hill playing in the square formed
'by Warner Street and Eyre Street Hill. We could buy torrone and ice cream, and
'hazlenuts which,had,beendrilled
and threaded with a pieceof'string,
like beads.
.
'."
There was 'lot 9f work for each family in preparing for Procession Sunday,
,including the 'making 'of' the '''window altar", which were ,all inspected' by the
Pr1est. The 'best ~nes 'got pr1zes - by Sunday there'wereperhaps SO or 60 such
aitars.
What today is' the'Sagra on Sunday afternoon, at that time lasted'all night
in the whole area, and because ther'e were al:lsortsof shops in, the, ar~a, (including greengrocers, butcher's, tailors" carvers, ,piano;:;makerS, ice-cream makers
and many many others) the 'specialities and 'festivities were ,many times what'
they . are', now;
In 'tnose' days there we're
as, many as 7 bands of. all ,sorts playing

Procession
Sunday was ari'important
event, and for us children it was.good.

By contrast with ,t~day, there were hardly any Christmas celebrations for us. It
was ,more or le~s ~family affair with ,no'gif;s' or decorations although as childr~n our Xmas treat was' that we could expect everything we wanted in the way of
food to be iri' the 'house.

,For, our football training. for the school te!,lll, .we"used' to go to Mill Fields,
over by Lea Bridge Road, and'to get there we'd catch "the old rattler", the 51
tram with the open' top ~ that was the ,nearest facility. We also had good swimmer~ and runner~, in fact To~y Callagari held the schoolboy record for the
quarter mile for.some time, and' he established that record at the running track

AT HORK
.As I mentioned last month, finariCial reasons caused me to leave schooL at 14,
and take up my job with the watcl)maker's Jarvis & Co. After 12 or 13 months my
parents decided that floor-laying was paying better money - in face: whell I started
with Bruscini"s I was getting 4d per hour - which in those days was good money. :1ost
o'f us youngsters would end up either floor layers, asphalters, mosaic craftsmen
or in the catering trade. Infact when I was 16! I had to give up my job with Bru-·
scini because I had some trouble with my knee, and so I went into the .plaster figurine tra~e, which was to become my trade. The' first statuette maker ,I worked for
was Halo Giovanp.tti, who had a shop in Middleton Street. From there I progressed
to working for Landi" Kings Yard, near lIighbury Corner and .then I came back into
the area and worked for B.acch')tta· and Sons •. Shortly after that I was ca Hed up
into tile armv.•
r:
t"hen
.came out of the army I managed a snack ba;:in Fleet Street for 3 years,
,and arter that I took over a smaU statuette makers place in Highbury and }Iario and
Romeo 'worked for me,. After .• 2 years I had to..close the shop' as my 'business had been
made unprofitable by the- flood of so-called "Empire goods".

La Vespa~••• 'vola
,
~
'In, Italia, le piccole'motociclette' e ciclomotori'(moped) giapponesi non"incutono
timore. La Piaggio, impresa italiana, mantiene il 751. del mercato delle motoc~~'
clette da 50 a 100 cc e un notevole50? per i cic!omotori. La Piaggioesercita
un forte controllo nel mercato domestico, pero riesce a spingere le vendite.anche all'estero. Le vendite di esportazione nel 1977 sommarono 280,000 unit~, e
per l' anno scoJ;so (1980) 390,000 (quasi la met;a delle vendite tot81i).
. ,
la rumorosit~ del doppio ingranaggio delie motociclette e ri~onosciuta'In og~l
narte d'It~lia. Si potrebbe, dire che costituisee un elemento integrale della~i­
ea quotidiana. La' fabbrica principale e situata nel,paese di 'Pontedra" qualche •
20'miglia da:Pisa; ci~ rende ~a Piaggio una compagni~ anonima. Questasituazione
geografica'la esclude ~allamaggior parte delle notizie nazionali dell'ihdustrfa,
meccanica. Di fronte le crisi e i ,conflitti delmondo industriale italiano,(Fiat,
Alfa Romeo, Moritedison, Olivetti, Indesit;' ecc.,) il successo delle Piaggio ri''';
sulta·;adombrato.
'
,
,
•
•
Nel' 1?78, il yolume di affariequivalsero 323 bilioni di lire (circa ,£135m): 'con .
profitti a quasi 11, bilioni di lire. Malgrado ledifficolta rispetto alla produzione'a causa delle polemiche sorte durante le trattative nazionali per il nuovo
contratto di lavoro del sindacato dell'industriameccanica, La Piaggio e riuseita nei 1979 ad ottenere un profitto di 5"bilioni di lire e un girodi 364,bilio,ni di lire. Le cifre per 1980 non sono aneorastate dichiarate ufficialmente;pero si tratta di circa 540 bilioni di. lire, con un sano incremento di profitti.
.
.
•
-
Questi risultati incoraggianti'hanno stimo~ato l'impresa a ,finanziare massicc1
programmi d'investimento. Negli anni 1977-79 ha investito 113 bil~oni di 'li~e,
(circa £47m) .e nel'1980 un ulteriore' 55 biHoni~ L'aspetto importancE; e"che que.,.
sti, investimEmti' sono stati realizzati dall' impresa stessa e non con l' aiute del10 Stato', Inoltre gli investimentihanno ereato nuov;i posti di lavoro: 10,000
nel 1977, e 14,000 posti l'anno ,scorso.,
•
•
Nelsecondo dopoguerra fino agli~anni 60, la motoscuter Vespa simboleggiava ,~a
mebilitadella classe' operaia. Le vendite del 1953 furono 100,000 uoita, raggiungendo 200;000 nel 1964. La' seconda meta degli aoni 60 signific~ unadiminuzione
delle vendite, e nel 1969 'si 'vide un ribasso a 150,000 unit~. Questo calo;fu il
risultato dell'incremento della richezzae prosperita,degli italiani dopo gli' anni di 'boom' ,del ~iracolo economic()~ ,Dunque era possibile,comprare la FIAT 500.
La Piaggio per~, si mostr~ pron;a con un prodotto alternativo per combattere il
ribasso. Nel 1967, introdusse la Vespa ciclomotore (moped)~ 11 ciclomotore disponeva di due attrazioni prinicipali nel mercato; il primo mezzo di trasporto moto;-'izzato per i "teenagers", e. '!n mezzo addizionale per quelli con la macchiria.
Quattro tipi di Vespa s0110 cost:rui'ti sulla stessa strutturafondamentale. La Vespa
50 (il ciclomotore per cui non ~ necessario la patente), e i modelli piu grossi di
125, -150 e 200 cc. Gli investimenti per quest'anno si concentreranno sul miglioramento della produzione dell'Ape; il veicolo a tre ruote~ la costruzione di un ulteriore 35,OOOmetri quadrati all'impianto attuale di '250,000,mq"a Pontedr~. Con un
prezzo basso, (minimo di L.2,000,000), una costruzione robusta, una meecanica semplice, e un ridotto consumo di benzina (circa 60 miglia al gallone), si e visto un
aumento costante'delle ve~dite dell'Ape. Oltre a cia, queste caratteristiche 'sono
adatte ai bisogni del terzo morido, esi,prevede un notevole mercato.in.questi pae•
S1..
•
L'elemento chiave del suecesso della Piaggio ~ stato, e rimane, la capacit~ di
fornire i prodotti adatti al momento giusto e di catturare it gusto pop~lare •
In questo modo sono ril,lsciti a tenere a freno 1 'invasione dal Giappone. '"In',un
momento di crisi economica molto facile dimenticare quelle imprese"come Pfaggio, che sopravvivono e mostrano qualche successo.·'

IN:BRIEF - THE' AlPINI; :VERONA FATHERS; COMITATO~GENITORI '01 'STANMORE
•
On Saturday 21st. March the ALP!N!· organised a' "polentata'~ at. the Scalabrini Centre
in Brixton Road, with no less than 170 people at~enditig. Am~ng the guests were
• Col. Moschini, the newly arrived Italian military: attach~, 'Col. Struzzi and the
President of the F~IE; Comm. il; Longinotti.
•
After a tasty. plate of meat and polenta and a welcoming speech by the Pt;esident
• of the 'Asspciazione Nazionale Alpini Sezione d'Inghilterra, Dott. 'B., Roncarati,
Col. Moschini spoke ani! described tlieAlpini as "una delle asse di collegamento
tra istituzione' militare e societa Civile". Indeed, Padre Vico who, on behalf of
the Scalabrini ,Fathers, thanked the Alpini'for donat~ng th~ proceeds of the. evening
to the Fathers, recalled .the way in which ,the Alpini worked so hard, often unseen,
for the Fathers and the Community.'
.' , ' .
,
r'
Padre' Vicofurther~dded to the happyatmosphere,by,telling some of his very funny
jokes; •••• and'of course the Coro of the.Alpini treated us t9 some of their repertoire.
,
,
The next day tile. Committee of Friends of the VERONA FATHERS, instead, of the usual
costly 'dinner, and dance, orgariiseda friendly lunch at Piero Bellini's "La Cucina"
restaurant. ,Before 'the lunch several of the Verona Fathers concelebrated a mass ·at
the Ibilian Church 'which saw,the Church full.,
,
,
Thanks to the hard work of the organisers ~nd'pfthe attractive· serving girls and
thanks to the generosity of the participants and of those whohad'contributed gifts,
the lunch, was ,a great success, socially and financially. The granci s~m ,o~ £2,200
was raised to help the Verona' Fathers in their important .and often dangerous work,
in particular ,in Africa, as described by Cav. Gr.Croce Avv. P. del Giudice in his
speech as Chairman of the Committee of Friends. The new Consul General Dott.
Teodo,o Fuxa was also present.

On 28th February I atten~ed another Italian Dan~e, held,at Edmonton Town Hal~.
nothing unusual you may say, but I hasten to add that this particular Dance was
held to raise money for the "Terremotati".
The Italian Parents Association 'for Enfield organized the .dance. and many gifts
were, donated
.for, raffle'
prizes by shops
in .
various locations, 'e.g. Capo
.
,.
.
. di Monte,
ornament, chocolates etc ••••
But I, and I'm sure that many others would agree, give credit to a young talented
group "FANTASIA" who' not only played,vonderfully, putting their whole hearts into
the evening . and
making sure.

01-346 0315 - Lunch & Dinner - Closed Sunday
.
It has , always amazed me that. although Britain
1.S an 1.sland. there are so 'few good fish·
dishes to be 'found on the average reStaurant
menu. 1 qistinctly remember being qu~te
a~tounded, whilst t?uring. Scotland, at how
httle fresh fish was available. The locals.
a~ many fishing ports used to complain:bitterly
that their fresh catches were inirnediately placed into refridgerated lorries and
sUbsequently transported to such absurd destinations as Plymouth (where one would
presume. to find fresh fish in abundance). In London one can still find some very
good wet and dry fishmongers (although their n'umbers are diminishing rapidly) but
it is understandable that. some' restaurants often use frozen fish in certain dishes.
'.
It is possible that because' fish.' has. become a near-luxUl::y (stoccafisso, dried' cod,
now costsE9 .00 a kilo in Italy~) impressive fish restaurants are not only scarce
but expensive (Manzi' s in Leic,ester Square being an exception to the latter).
Unintenti<mally my husband and 1 chanced upon a predominantly fish restaurant the
other day and we were pleasantly surprised.
-
•
'the Fogarerio restaurant is situated between Tally.'Ho Corner and the North Circulpr"
admittedly an area not renowned for an:-' maritime activities. The restaurant is
Portuguese and its interior decor is distinctly marine; the ceiling3 of the two r00l1!s
.are covered in fishing nets with the lighting cleverly :;.rranged in life .buoys.
Although the menu included some meat .dishes there was a definite emphasis on fish
fipecialities.
.
••
,
,-
.After we had placed our order cl:udites were served.with·lemon mayonnaise., an innovation
that is -catching on ,iil, many restaurants and serves to enhance one's appetite whilst
bread, which one -usually 'consumes during the 'waitirig'period, only satisfies it .
•
As a .starter my husband chose king pra"ms piri-piri; the large Hediterranean-type
prawns were c.()vered ·in 'a hot arid spicy red sauce' and. although they were delicious,
I did not fed that they warranted ~3.2~ a" portion. I must add that this particular
dish was the most expensive ho'rs d~·oeuvre available, with an average soup, avocado
etc. priced at ci rca El.·20. I chos.e frogs legs which werE~ served in a. m9uth-watering
light sa,uce -ofbuttei:, ,parsley, gariic and lemon into which I could not resist dipping
my bread.
•
For my main course 1 chose halibut and was' not disappointed. The halibut. was poached
in white. wine and cream an.d was 'serVed with green peppercorns and proved to be, in, a
word. s'umptuous;' it is a dish, I would most certainly rec·oUllllend. Hy husband chos~'
sea""bass' which .w()uld have beeil' exciting at any other time but for my exemplar;.' halibut.
The vegetables, green 'beans; .cauliflowe'( and broccoli, were served just r.i~ht, a I d.'nt.' •
with very little condiment. We omitted'the dess'ert as, not to put a finer p"int .'n
the matter, wc were both quite full. Petit:-fours were served with th,' coff,'~'
which was served in. ilbllIldance.

Traditionally, patchwork was used, to ~ake s§methirig useful

.who
College,
....'studied textiles
. . at Goldsmiths
.. . works by comm1SS10n. Together w1th her husband - a furniture maker - she
llkes to undertake projects for complete rooms. She designs
the quilt, then coordinates the curtains and-blinds ,to'
cushions ·and tablecloths.

A quilt takes about 3-4'weeks to complete from des~gn, to '; finish.'an~ .prices start at about £150 for a double quilt, to
about £300 for a'more intricate design. Susari works in Barnet and can'be.,contacted

SCENE
History repea!=s itse,lf, or so they tell me, and I thought I 'dstart this month's
rec!,~d,. roul\d-up by treating you to one of the "Thoughts of Ludi": does music; re""
peat itself? (o~ly when it's, had too .much garlic ••• ,'.ha,ha, ,) .What I'm getting
at is that I 'hear thingspouiing out of my radio; and I sometimes wonder if it
is a,case of d~ja vu (or d~ja entendu). Take recent'hit from Teardrop Explodes:
"Reward" -: those swirling keyboards and pr~cision dru!"",ing strongly reminds, me·
of early Stranglers. I don't suppose that trendy idol Adam Ant and his henchmen can 'deny. ever having listened to Gary Glitter (that's right, the 'one that's
made
23 come-backs). Oh well, I suppose perhaps it's'a brain malfunction on my
part.
'
. . '.
'
'I suppose it was inevitable that I should be reviewing a·record which is· surely
destined to be one of the ,best albums of the year, and' a1though~the second single
off it will probably be a1re'ady dropping from':the charts 'by th,e time you get to,
read this, it is still worth a few lines.' I am of, course referring'to Phi1.Co1lin's "Face Value" (V2183) which, if I were being paid for preciSion and conciseness, I could simply d~scribe as: bri11al\t. However 'my 'task is to write a
page full (as to ,pay, ,forget it!) so I really ought to say/that the album is
made up of a string of tastefully written songs, almost edch of which, isa poten~'
tia1 single. Many of the songs have'a jazzy feel, 'which belies a strong,affi1iation with the jazz rock type of'music p1ay~d,by .Brand X, of which'Phi1 Co11ins is the occasional drummer, rather than' the softer type of rock which one ,would
would have expected in ·view'of his place in Genesis. Yet some songs are of neither
type and one of these, ,perhaps my favourite, "If leaving me is 'easy"', is a'slow,
ballad which builds up a magnificent cuttab1e-with""a-knife'atmosphere. When Pete~
Gabrie1 left Genesis most 'observers thought the group would not last long, but
instead they have s'urvived both this and the departure of guitarist Steve Hackett" ••
-now Co11ins? I don't think Genesis would last long without Co1lins, but that is
a false perspective: Co11ins has just ,made ,a solo album, 'not a solo career."
<,
•
•
•
•
,";<
Talking of solo careers, there. is talk going around that Rockpi1e had'disban-"
ded. I have considered'Rockpi1e's history in an ear1i~r Article (BACKHILL,Dec.'80)
so t~ose of you with elephantine memories will recall that Rockpi1e (in substance·
H:: not in name)haii been 'around for some years, but not as a ,permanent fixed group,
mOre as fourmusic~ans playing onthe.ii~me records and playing the'odd gig, as
.
and when it was 'desirab1e and convenient. Thus I treat'any report of the fouE._dec~7._
ding to pursue solo careers with a pinch of salt. Some people ~re pointing accusing1v
the new D~ve Edmund's' single, "Almost Saturday Night"" as a ,symptom of the break
up. Sure, that's one' way of looking at it but ••• do I detect Nick Lowe's nasal
whines in ,the backing vocals?
I'm sure you'll all be over the moon when I tell you that
in the middle of a nationwide tour, playing to packed venues
have got anew album in the pipeline. (pardon my joI1l.1a1ese),
be in the shopsby'the time you get to read this - indeed, I
the shops to sellout rather quickly!

RICHARD EVANS. WRIT'ES:

The past month, has been a particularly traUmatic one for England's 'cricketers.
Two lost tests. one 'cancelled on political grounds and 'then the tragic, death of

years to fill that position in the England side who, can compare' with Ken Barringto • •

Obituaries can be very formal accounts ,of a person is achievements am rarely capture
the p~rson and the essence 'of their life. Without exception. 'however. every
article I have read llas"paid ,glowing tribute to Barri,ngton and stressed the
enormous popularity of the"man •• Anyone who',has-seen the eXpression on, the fa~es
of the England team as they lined up for two minutes silence 'on the day after
his death will know the deep sense of loss they all felt at his passing. There.
perhaps" lies the, most fitting epitaph to one of this country's great cricketers.
We shall never know to what extent Barrington's last fatal heart attack was brought
en by all the st'ress and' strain which this Tour has engendered. Certainly the
"Guyana Aff~ir!"(as'I prefer to call it since their Government: and not Robin
Jackman brought it all about) 'could not have helped.
My own views on, the interference of'politics into sport 'and the whole South,African

I,
,
A final word on the Tour. Again my views on Botham's captaincy
are, well known, but why oh why is Boycott's experience so regularly being ignored? Can, there really be any doubt that on
Willis's ret~rn Geoff should have been appointed Vice-Captain?

As to the rest of the team, the steady, batting of Kent's Bob
Woolmer would have been a most welcome comfort and Bob Athey
is only nowtaldng up the pos~tion in the squad thllt: he should have had from
the very peginning, of the Tour. Oh well! Roll !In the Aussies in the Summer!'. •••••

Phrixus, son' of Nepele ,fa~sely accusea of 'ravishing 'Biadice, was ,condemned
to death, but 'rescued by a golden ram on whose back he escaped with his
sister He tle. She became ,giddy and fell off, bUt Phr~x()s'reached saftey
and sacrificed the ram to Zeus, who placecj its, likeness in the heavens.
Years later the ram's fleece became famous when Jason captured it.
POSITIVE ARIAN TRAITS
A pioneering and adventurous spirit, enterprising, courageous, dJrect in
his approach. Highly energetic, hating restriction, 10ving freedom.
•
"
NEGATIVE ARIAN TRAITS
Selfish, always putting himself first. Unsubtle, impulsive, pugnacious.
A satirist, quick-tempered, impatient - wanting everything now.
MARS - RULING PLANET
,
Although essentially a Roman god, Mars is associated with the Greek god of
war, Aries. 'Rome was the centre .of his cult, where he had two temples - one
at the army' s excercise - ground, for he was always the. god of war. His sacred
spears were kept in the second. temple. During the warm'summer season most
suitable for campaigning, they were shaken by the Consu' who cried "Mars,
awake!" his main function was to protect the state.
