editorial Taking a ride in a taxi Mary Wilsey

Taxi ranks in the city are full to overflowing.

Taxi facts Increases in taxi fares are in the pipeline but at the time of going to press they had NOT been approved by the city council, whatever unscrupulous taxi drivers may tell their passengers. We have been told by a spokesperson at the city’s mobility department that when (if) they are agreed the new fares will be clearly publicised through the city and in taxis. The most likely increase concerns the fare between Fiumicino airport and the historic centre, which could go up from €40 to €45, and between Ciampino and the centre, from €30 to €35. Other changes may be made to how the fares in the city are calculated (now basic rate, plus time and distance). If you want to make a protest about a taxi, make sure you have plenty of time, patience and a computer to hand. Go to the city’s website, comune.roma.it, then to dipartimenti e altri uffici under Sezioni del portale in the left-hand column. After that go to Dipartimento VII, politiche della mobilità, and in the right-hand column under Subito a … (not much subito about all this…) you will find TAXI. When the taxi page appears keep going down the long list of everything you would ever want to know about taxis and you will find Reclami. Here at last you will find a form, also in English, on which you can make your protest. But you have not finished yet. When you have filled in the form there is no indication of where you should send it. Would you believe it? However we have hunted down the magic fax number, 06671070214. If you would like more guidance the number of the city taxi office is 06671070761. The Ufficio Relazione con Il Pubblico is in the Ostiense area, the address is Via Capitan Bevastro 94, Scala A, second floor, room 210. It’s not a process for the faint-hearted.

magine being a Rome taxi driver. You sit around in taxi ranks, sometimes for an hour or two, trying to keep your place in a nonexistent line.* At last someone jumps into your vehicle, certainly in a hurry. You are told to go as fast as you can to an address that seems familiar, but which takes you a moment to pinpoint. You ask politely for hints, and suddenly all hell lets loose. You are told that you should know where you are going, that you are driving too slowly (or too fast), that you should have known better than to get stuck in traffic, that you are taking the longest rather than the shortest route. At the end of the ride you are told that the fare is too high and that you are dishonest. In a rage the passenger pays, slams the door and leaves. Exhausted, you look behind to find that a cell phone, or maybe a computer case, has been left on the back seat. Now you have to deal with that too. The life of a Rome taxi driver can’t be easy. How many taxi drivers get passengers who are not in a hurry, don’t assume they know the best way, are polite, don’t talk too much and give a decent tip at the end of the drive? If proof were needed of what passengers can be like, the driver of Brescia 21 (taxis are identified by a city name and number) summed it up in the forum on taxis on the website of the daily newspaper Corriere della Sera. So did Black Eye – as he signed himself – whose tales of what passengers have done to him are as bad as those told by passengers about scheming, crooked taxi drivers. However finding people in Rome who have a good word for its taxis is about as rare as finding a leprechaun under a four-leafed clover. But before you inundate us with emails (please send to editorial@wantedinrome.com), here is my “terrible taxi” tale. I tell it not because I think all taxi drivers are dishonest (I don’t, as this is the only bad experience I have ever had), but because it could be helpful. It happened before the days of the fixed-price fare between the airports and the city centre. I was coming back from Ciampino, that notorious den of Rome’s worst taxi drivers, late at night. All the available cab drivers refused my fare, as most of them lived out of town and didn’t want to drive back into the city at the end of their shift. Eventually a policeman ordered a driver to take my ride. The bad tempered man, made even more bad tempered because he had been ordered to do his job, got me home in double quick time and charged me twice what I had paid for a similar ride only a few weeks previously at about the same time of night. I argued my case very forcefully but got nowhere. So I paid, got a receipt with the date, time and fare and, before the taxi screeched away, I managed to write down the name and number of the cab. The next day I started the protest procedure (see box). This is not for the faint-hearted. I had to send a fax outlining the complaint, a copy of my air ticket to prove when I had arrived, the receipt for the journey and the number of the cab. I waited several months before I received an acknowledgment, saying that my case was being examined. Several more months went by before I was told that my case had now been heard, that the taxi driver in question had a long record of such cases and that he had been fined €200. Only €200! He had taken at least €30 from me and had obviously been doing the same from others for some time. Why not suspend his licence for a year, and what about a refund for me? And what happens to the tourist who doesn’t know what to do? Perhaps the city should come up with a streamlined system for reporting abuse. How about an SMS number for complaints? But before you punch in your complaint, spare a thought for the taxi driver too. * There are now about 7,800 taxis in the city compared with about 5,000 four years ago when the previous mayor, Walter Veltroni, agreed to increase the number of licences. Consequently taxi ranks in the city are full to overflowing. Note: There is talk of an increase in taxi fares but they have not been approved yet. See Box. Wanted in Rome

ABRUZZO EARTHQUAKE

The wheelbarrows of Abruzzo Fabrizio G. Scalabrino Listen to nature. Italy’s Abruzzo region a year ago; Haiti, Chile yesterday; and Turkey, Greece today. The geological survey of the United States government reports 3,000 earthquakes daily. So earthquakes are natural, but they do not have to kill. It is mankind’s speculation and incapacity to listen to nature more carefully, to learn and be prepared, that causes deaths. After the 2002 earthquake in Puglia and Molise the region of Abruzzo and the civil protection department conducted a detailed technical study, classifying potentially dangerous public and private buildings in the event of an earthquake. However there was no follow up or action taken on this study, allegedly due to lack of funds. On the night of 6 April 2009 many of those buildings came down and killed.

Empty promise. Berlusconi said that by the end of 2009 all the homeless would have a home. After a year there are about 16,000 people who have been given a home, either in new anti-seismic apartment blocks or in temporary colourful 50 sqm wooden huts. A further 40,000 are still being assisted by the government. There are those still in army barracks or one-room residences along the coast. The elderly are parked in hotels; they are not a priority as they do not have children needing to go to school. They have no idea when they will be able to return to their homes, if ever given their old age. The remainder are with friends and relatives or are paying rent in the area.

No reconstruction. The reconstruction of the historic centre of L’Aquila has remained an announcement during the year. The government has shown little interest in removing the 4.5 million tonnes of Rule one: to save lives. The main and only effective defence against rubble still lying in the streets and until this happens rebuilding canearthquakes is to build new buildings and restructure old ones using not start as there is no room for equipment to pass. As time passes the anti-seismic techniques. The comparison can be made between Haiti gaps and cracks worsen as rain and snow seep in to complete the and Chile; in the latter the loss of life was relatively low considering destruction of important buildings. The residents of this area now live the force of the earthquake (8.8 on the Richter scale elsewhere, patiently waiting to return.

the natural environment.

All is well. The majority of Italians perceive that all is now well in Abruzzo; that the earthquake victims are all now cosy in their newly furnished homes. Prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has been brilliant in creating a lie which has literally substituted the reality of the situation in Abruzzo. Berlusconi knows no limits in using his personal TV empire to achieve his political objectives and he has the Italian state TV under his influence as well. He did an excellent job in communicating his visits to Abruzzo all through the year. Busloads of his supporters accompanied him and were placed at strategic points. Those not fitting his cast were not allowed anywhere near him. It is reported he handed over the same small brightly coloured wooden homes twice to the homeless, as others were late in being completed. The cost of these visits came to over €300,000. 4

to tackle the post-earthquake emergency, €700 million has been spent on housing about 16,000 people. Over this year no help whatsoever has been given to small businesses to get started again. The anti-seismic apartments are reported to have cost between €2,500 and €2,800 per sqm and the wooden huts around €800 per sqm; this compares with €3,000 per sqm for a five-star hotel built for the G8 summit in La Maddalena before this was moved to L’Aquila. Unfortunately, earthquakes and natural disasters have always been a huge business opportunity for constructors and politicians and probably always will be. Moral capital. L’Aquila has become the moral capital for those demanding justice and truth for the victims. Uncertainty has prompted the population to start demonstrating. Four thousand people who have lost loved ones in recent natural disasters in Italy came to L’Aquila from all over Italy on 6 March and walked silently through the streets carrying torches. Their banners read “Il terremoto non uccide – l’uomo SI! On 6 April 2009 at 03.32 …who killed our children?” Keys. On 21 February this year the population of L’Aquila marched to the barriers surrounding the historic centre, which has been declared off-limits, and hung their house keys on the fence as a sign that they want to return home.

Local residents display their house keys in a sign they want to go home.

The wheelbarrow people. The following Sunday, thousands of people gathered in L’Aquila, many with wheelbarrows and buckets, and marched towards the off-limits area in the historic centre. Shouting loudly and angrily “Open… open…!” they pulled down the fence barriers as the police and the army quietly pulled back, allowing them in. They headed to the heaps of rubble and started wheeling it away. Old tiles and pieces which might be needed for restoration were put aside and washed. People formed columns on both sides of the road, allowing the wheelbarrows to come and go, and rubble was passed by hand. The oldest participant was a 93-year-old grandmother in a wheelchair. They called this action the revolt of the wheelbarrows and it was repeated on 7 and 14 March. It seems these symbolic demonstrations have prompted the authorities to take action and in mid-March firefighters and soldiers moved in to start clearing the rubble. Pro Berlusconi. A few hundred metres away from the wheelbarrow people a couple of hundred people, elegantly dressed and probably with seaside villas as alternative accommodation along the Adriatic coast, were gathered to thank Berlusconi and the civil protection chief Guido Bertolaso for what they have done for L’Aquila.

Under investigation Soon after the 6 April 2009 earthquake the public prosecutor in L’Aquila, Alfredo Rossini, opened an investigation into the collapse of buildings on the grounds that in some cases poor construction may have been to blame. In October 2009 his office announced that 26 people were under investigation in connection with the collapse of the Casa dello Studente, which killed eight young people, the Convitto Nazionale, which killed three people, as well as the engineering faculty of the university of L’Aquila in Roio. They include engineers, constructors, public officials and a local politician. In March the prosecutor said that ten more people were under investigation for the collapse of two private residential apartment blocks, killing 22. Meanwhile civil protection chief Guido Bertolaso, who led emergency relief operations in Abruzzo after the earthquake, has found himself at the centre of a corruption scandal involving his department and its handling of contracts for socalled Grandi Eventi (Big Events), particularly the G8 summit in La Maddalena. Bertolaso is under investigation for corruption but has so far remained in his post; four people – three public officials and one constructor – have been arrested in connection with the inquiry and around 40 people are involved. Recently the prosecutor’s office in L’Aquila announced that it had extended the scope of its investigations to include contracts awarded for post-earthquake reconstruction and in connection with the organisation of the G8 summit in L’Aquila.

In early March the historic centre of L’Aquila was still buried under rubble.

Ninfa opens this year on 3 and 4 April, on the first Saturday and Sunday of each month thereafter until October and on the third Sunday of the month in April, May and June. Open from 09.00 to 12.00 and 14.30 to 18.00; a contribution of €10 is requested while children under 11 enter free. For more information visit www.fondazionecaetani.org.

Steve Reich is considered one of America’s greatest living composers. Photo by Jeffrey Herman.

Rome Musica Per Roma. 8 April. For the cycle of events entitled Contemporanea, a concert featuring contemporary guitar with sound direction by the pioneer of minimalist music Steve Reich (21.00). Reich is one of America’s greatest living composers and one of the major influences on the development of contemporary music. There is an African inspiration in his earlier work, which developed out of a journey to study music in Ghana in the 1970s. In the 1980s his compositions took on historical themes, influenced by his Jewish background. Then in the 1990s came two operas, Three Tales and The Cave, as well as a number of instrumental works for quartets and orchestra. Last year he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music for Double Sextet composed in 2007. Reich is no stranger to the Auditorium Parco della Musica and in this programme there is a performance of his latest work, 2x5, as well as one of his masterpieces, City Life (1994). Auditorium Parco della Musica, Viale P. de Coubertin 30, tel. 0680241281, www.auditorium.com.

Divinamente Roma 2010. 27 March-5 April. Subtitled International Festival of Spirituality, this event is at its third edition and features a programme of dance, theatre and music that unfolds during the week leading up to Easter. The theme this year is “Fear of the Lord” – one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, a gift that “fills us with a sovereign respect for God, and makes us dread, above all things, to offend Him”. Meaningful venues throughout the city have been chosen to host the events, which include a performance entitled Bhavana by Indian Kuchipudi dancer Shantala Shivalingappa at the Aranciera di S. Sisto near Porta Metronia (31 March). Next is a music event by Valeria Moretti with Federica Bern entitled Stellarum Opifice, a tribute to Sister Maria Celeste Galilei, the illegitimate daughter of astronomer Galileo Galilei who, at the age of 13, entered a convent where she remained for the rest of her short life. This performance, at the Planetarium, is loosely based on the daughter’s letters to her father and tells of the genuine bond between them (1 April). Then choreographer Micha Van Hoecke’s contemporary dance ensemble performs a work entitled Baccanti, an elaboration of Euripides’ The Bacchae, by Chiara Muti with the participation of Muti herself and actress Pamela Villoresi at the Auditorium Parco della Musica (2 April). A concert by Teresa De Sio entitled Amén features folk musicians and their traditional instruments at Teatro Valle (3 April). Then the Filarmonica Mediterranea conducted by Paolo Lepore with Silvia Budri Da Maren performs Passion, a concert in which western tradition and the vocal heritage of Africa come together. The evening starts with the concerto Passion and culminates in the celebration of the liturgy, enriched with the traditional Congolese songs typical of the Missa Luba. At the church of S. Maria in Trastevere (4 April). Finally, there is an evening of sacred Sufi music and poetry by the Ahura Project at the Aranciera di S. Sisto (5 April).

Milan National Ballet of Moldova. 7-9 April. In La Sylphide, choreography by August Bournonville. It is usual to call La Sylphide the prototype of romantic ballet, but no other surviving example ends with such amazing bleakness: James, the hero of this Scottish story, sees his fiancée, Effie, walking through a glen in a bridal procession with his rival, Gurn. Then he sees the Sylphide (or sylph), for whom he recklessly deserted Effie and whose death he has just unwittingly caused, floating up to a sylph heaven. He falls unconscious, and some interpreters of the role imply that he dies. Certainly he has nothing left to live for. However La Sylphide changed ballet at its Parisian première in 1832. The music is by the Danish composer Hermann von Lovenskjold and contains quotations from Auld Lang Syne and Scottish reels. Teatro Arcimboldi, tel. 02641142212214, www.teatoarcimboldi.it.

Cremona Nederlands Dans Theater II. 15 April. In Sleepless, choreography by Jiri Kylián, and Minus 16, choreography by Ohad Naharin. This super company was founded in 1978, and has developed into a top-quality, internationally recognised company performing in theatres all over the world. It’s made up of 16 talented dancers between the age of 17 and 22, all of whom have a classical ballet training. The company works with established choreographers such as Kylián, Hans van Manen, Naharin, Paul Lightfoot/Sol León and Johan Inger, but also with young and upcoming choreographers. In Sleepless there are three male-female couples, although the ballet begins and ends with a female dancer doing a pas de deux with her shadow, and there are important solo variations as well. Sleepless has been described as a tense, enigmatic work, softened by the physical beauty of the dancers themselves, and by the perfection of Kylián’s constructions. In Minus 16 the company doubles its stage presence by enticing 20 adventurous audience members to become part of Naharin’s marvelously manic, musically varied (cha-cha, mambo, techno and traditional Israeli) choreographic masterpiece.

Opera Notes La Scala stages the production of Alban Berg’s Lulu directed by Peter Stein at the Opéra di Lyon last year, with the additional third act that was not in the Berg original. In Milan it will be conducted by Daniele Gatti. In Rome S. Cecilia presents Mozart’s Requiem conducted by Yuri Temirkanov. Alla Scala di Milano arriva Lulu di Alban Berg (6-30 aprile); un capolavoro dodecafonico della prima metà del Novecento, rimasto però incompiuto al secondo atto e così sempre rappresentato, fino al 1979 quando a Parigi fu presentata la versione completata del terzo atto da Friedrich Cerha, sugli appunti originali lasciati dall’autore. A Milano sarà presentata in questa revisione, proposta con un allestimento già visto all’Opéra de Lyon un anno fa e che approderà nel giugno prossimo al Wiener Festwochen. Si è rivelata interessante la regia di Peter Stein, che si muove in “ambienti luminosissimi disegnati con estrema eleganza e arredati con gusto art déco, tra grandi vetrate e pareti immacolate”. Così come ha suscitato ampi consensi l’interpretazione della protagonista da parte di Laura Aikin che “ha sfoderato acuti smaglianti, coloratura nitidissima e anche peso vocale” oltre a una seducente ed esuberante presenza scenica. A Milano (come a Vienna) la direzione d’orchestra sarà di Daniele Gatti, che offrirà un’interpretazione da ricordare se eseguirà Lulu con la stessa intensità e preparazione con cui ha affrontato Wozzek, sempre di Alban Berg. Al Parco della Musica di Roma, per la Stagione Sinfonica dell’Accademia Nazionale di S. Cecilia sarà presentato il Requiem per soli, coro e orchestra di Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (10, 12 e 13 aprile). Un altro capolavoro, rimasto anch’esso incompiuto per il sopraggiungere della morte; fu terminato da Franz Xaver Süssmayer (il fedele discepolo di Mozart che ben conoscendo lo stile del maestro era capace di imitarlo nella melodia e nell’armonia), fu terminato su indicazioni della vedova del compositore, che ne sollecitò il completamento per incassare il compenso pattuito. Questo Requiem, nonostante si ascoltino pagine vigorose e di forte impatto emotivo, non ispira sentimenti di terrore o di angoscia, bensì di sublimata serenità e di pietosa consolazione. Per vivere queste emozioni e per confermare che Mozart non è il frivolo ed elegante musicista settecentesco che i più s’immaginano, è stato chiamato un grande direttore, sensibile e raffinato:Yuri Temirkanov, che si avvarrà delle voci di Ekaterina Sadovnikova, Marina Comparato, Paolo Fanale e Luca Pisaroni oltre all’Orchestra e al Coro dell’Accademia Nazionale di S. Cecilia. Paolo Di Nicola

FOOD AND DRINK

Rome’s ancient cuisine Helene Pizzi

o matter where you stop to eat in Rome, you will find wonderful food. And the small, often family-run trattoria may be serving dishes that are not all that different to what was in vogue 2,000 years ago. You can find hints about what was served then in Roman frescos or mosaics. Tables were laden with fresh fruit such as pears, apples, figs and grapes. Wine was served everywhere, and seafood and meats were also much appreciated. The art of bread-making was introduced from Greece by slaves. The Romans improved the milling of grain and bread became an integral part of the diet. Public ovens were busy places for the bakers, or pistores. At the excavations at Ostia Antica south of Rome we can see large millstones that were turned by mules hitched to poles inserted in the stones. In about 23 BC Vitruvio in his De Architectura describes a water mill that also used the force of the wind to allow flour to be ground much more finely, improving the quality of the bread. Such mills were used until the Middle Ages. The Romans, like the Greeks and the Etruscans, Mosaics can provide a useful insight into what the ancient Romans liked to eat. also made a sort of pasta. It had the form of a thin The most famous Roman cookbook, De re coquinaria, was written sheet (known as laganum in Latin and lagnon in Greek), similar to by Marcus Gavius Apicius, who lived at the time of the Emperor modern-day focaccia, which was baked or fried then cut into strips and Tiberius (14-37 AD).
