Sabina Mirri, Roma 2540: Giovane scimpanzè assorto si riposa al sicuro tra le fronde. Sabina Mirri, the sixth of Edith Schloss’ invited cover artists, was born in 1957 in Rome and lives and works between Rome and Petrolo (Tuscany). Her expressionism, dryly witty and fine, is of today and yesterday, adventurous and manifold and close to the more sombre Transavanguardia. Here Mirri gives her vision of Rome over 500 years from now.

editorial Looking after R All Saints’ Mary Wilsey

All Saints’ church is trying to raise money for much-needed maintenance and repairs.

Before the construction of All Saints’ in the 1880s Anglicans worshipped in the so-called Granary Building just outside and to the right of the Porta del Popolo. Print by Giuseppe Vasi.

estoring a roof or, even worse, buying a new boiler, are the maintenance jobs that everyone dreads. Remodelling the kitchen, re-planting the terrace, commissioning a painting or even restoring grandma’s melodious Bechstein are fun, even if expensive, projects. But how long can you go on listening to the grand piano, however beautifully it is played, if it’s cold and the rain is dripping through the roof? All Saints’ Anglican Church in Via del Babuino has something much better than a Bechstein. Its organ, made in Yorkshire over a century ago, is one of the best in the city and, in good Anglican tradition, it is still a vital part of church life and worship. Luckily its restoration, always an expensive job, is now permanently assured thanks to money left to the church for just this purpose by a previous chaplain and musician, Bevan Wardrobe, when he died in 2006. Legacies and donations can be expected for the more beautiful or traditional parts of a church, whether a monument, a stained-glass window or a pew. Even roof repairs could lend themselves to a worthy cause, such as solar panels and green energy. “We’ve thought of that,” says the present chaplain, Jonathan Boardman, “but it’s just too expensive for our needs and we are too late for the present subsidies.” But putting a plaque on a boiler to remember a donor or a beloved departed, who has ever heard of that? Probably most people imagine that All Saints’ gets a helping hand from a Rome city fund for monuments, from the British Foreign Office (it used to be the embassy church), from the well-endowed Church of England Church Commissioners or from its own diocese of Gibraltar in Europe. It doesn’t receive funding from any of these sources (although it can in certain circumstances get a loan from the diocese). So when it comes to paying for maintenance All Saints’ is on its own. The most pressing work now needed at All Saints’ is the boiler, which will cost €45,000, followed by the roof, which will cost twice that amount. And as the church doesn’t have a capital investment fund the money has to come from income and from special fundraising events. “St Paul’s [within-the-Walls], being an American church, set up its endowment fund first and then built the church. But we, being British, built the church first and still haven’t set up a fund,” says Boardman with a twinkle. A capital fund is what All Saints’ is now planning. A number of fundraising events this year have been organised with just this in mind. There was a fashion show in the church in April, which was so successful that another one has now been planned for the autumn. In May there was a traditional English tea party at the residence of the British ambassador at Villa Wolkonsky. On 26 June there will be a talk at the church by Alex Richardson, the wife of the former British ambassador, Sir Tom Richardson, on her book about Alexander Hardcastle, a retired British army captain who restored the Temples of Herakles in the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento in the 1920s-1930s (see Wanted in Rome article 26 May). Fundraising looks as though it will be a constant in the life of All Saints’ for some time as its annual income does not allow for large maintenance jobs. About 20 per cent of the income comes from planned-giving schemes, another 20 per cent from donations and the rest is from the rent of the All Saints’ property. With ten per cent of this income going to charity each year in line with Christian principles, there is not much left over for major structural repairs. Most people, ex-pats and Italians alike, still think of All Saints’ as a quintessential British institution, but it has changed considerably in recent years says Boardman, who has been the chaplain for 11 years. These days only about 40 per cent of its 150-strong permanent congregation is British and most of them no longer live near the church. Cont. on page 13.

ART

Philip Guston’s Roman sojourn Edith Schloss Philip Guston’s “Roma” paintings, the result of an interlude at the American Academy, are a feast of gruffly belligerent and tongue-in-cheek small scenes, but they give little insight into the scope and variety of his work

Box Tree, Rome (1971) by Philip Guston. Collection of Wade and Angela Thompson, New York. Photo by Christian Erroi.

ome is where you reckon with your past, where you take stock of history and your own doings. When the thoughtful, moody and deeply committed New York School painter Philip Guston, one of the “Big Boys”, came to town as Artist in Residence at the American Academy in 1971, to an ancient alien landscape, it was at a crucial and hurtful turning point in his career. He was born in Montreal in 1913 and died in Woodstock, New York, in 1980, and in body and spirit lived his salient years in New York City. Early on he and his buddy Jackson Pollock trained as illustrators and cartoonists at a commercial art school in Los Angeles because, like their other painter pals, they believed “art must function in society.” After they were expelled they engaged in large canvases and murals in New York, all involving social scenes, for the world’s fair, for W.P.A. (Roosevelt’s Public Arts Project) and other politically aware ventures. They were influenced by the Mexican mural painters before them, also politically awake, who in turn formally relied on the inheritance of the early Italian Renaissance; Giotto, Piero della Francesca, Masaccio, Mantegna, Signorelli also exercised a strong lure on frugal young Americans. Immigrants’ children, some of them soldiers just out of the army and on the G.I. Bill, or Fulbright grant recipients, they set forth to Europe on a very scruffy Grand Tour. Guston was most attracted by Piero della Francesca – who, like him, had begun his career as a “commercial artist”, creating banners and shields for knights and churches, the advertisements of the time – and the generous clarity of his composition and colour. He and his fellows, in cursive line and moderately involved compositions, depicted ideal groups of generic figures exhorting social justice or celebrating it, often spiced in the case of Guston with the apparition of ominous mummers. Eventually they all tired of the righteousness of social-conscious art. They were into matter itself. Making an image without an image was suddenly the issue: they entered the adventure of abstraction. When I first became enthralled by Guston’s paintings he was already celebrated for his dense thoughtful surface: massed threads and 23 June 2010

flourishes and layers of pure paint lashing and crossing, weaving atmospheric fabrics. All sorts of tender violets and purples and rosy and dawn-like reds – here and there agitated by lightning bolts of gnarly black or blue. They were marvellous stretches of sheer colour humming with suppressed energy. Some called it Abstract Impressionism. But, always unquiet and searching, his secure abstract manner slowly became troubled and strange, dopey shapes crept in, the ordinary daily objects around him at night made themselves felt; a fat shoe, a hand with a cigar, a light bulb, heads with cowled hoods. He began to jeopardise his career by using clunky reality again, especially its tragicomic angle. “The idea of evil fascinates me,” he said, often symbolising it in the intermittent appearance of grotesque fat heads of thugs. And now even the New York Times critic Hilton Kramer called him “a mandarin pretending to be a stumblebum.” He had won the Prix de Rome at the American Academy in 1948, he had been invited to the Venice Biennale in 1960 and when in 1970, during the general hubbub over his betrayal of abstraction, he was offered the position of Artist in Residence at the American Academy in Rome, he gladly accepted the respite. Like most visiting artists and other foreigners he could not forgive the Italians their Italian present, he could not get into the avantgarde scene here, except for the early and best of De Chirico, whose sharpshadowed “metaphysical period” cityscapes so poignantly celebrated the past. “Oh please! I can’t look at modern art now!” he begged me on the phone when I asked him to come and look at my own work. “I’ve just come back from Arezzo. I’ve just come back from Piero!” (But as an old friend from New York of course he did come to my studio the next day.) The contemporary scene here simply was not in his parish. With his wife Musa he enjoyed pilgrimages and trips to the painted walls of his early Renaissance masters, trailed past the stubborn might of Etruscan and Roman ruins and the Greek temples of Sicily and lounged in the parks and regimented gardens of the Baroque. Gradually he came forth with an oddly stirring feast of small scenes, mostly painted on paper. First baffling, then droll and pungent, they are spread before us here. Goofy and flatfooted, the spoils of history as well as gnarled and knotted nature, stand before us like stage props in a pale suffused landscape. Trees like strawberries or mushrooms, balls of trimmed privet, stone steps leading nowhere, a cut-off foot, a plump millwheel, spits of dribbling water rising from pudgy fountain basins, sinister silly heaps of old belaboured brick, a few goon heads left over from the previous New York pictures – it is all gruffly belligerent, as well as tongue-incheek and as kindly funny as the comics. It is a shaggy dog story! Cont. on page 13.

Looking after All Saints’

Philip Guston’s Roman sojourn

Cont. from page 3.

Cont. from page 5.

They come long distances – from Bracciano in the north or Anzio in the south – for the Sunday service. There has been an increase in Italians coming to the church, perhaps because they are drawn by the English language and culture or because they get a friendly welcome. The other worshippers (about 40 per cent) are from numerous different countries and for the most part are only in Rome for a few years before moving on elsewhere. As well as changes in the congregation the church today is also very much more than just a place for Sunday worship. There are concerts (using the organ) and opera performances from September to June (thanks to its excellent acoustics) and there is a mothers and toddlers group that meets twice a week. But some things never change, and fund raising is no easier today than it was when the church was going up in the 1880s*. Only a year after the foundation stone was officially laid in 1882 the building fund had run out and the owners in London, The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, wanted to stop all further construction. So desperate was the situation that the chaplain eventually loaned £3,000 of his own money to the church and contributed £100 of his salary each year to the building. When he died in 1891 his widow donated £2,000 to finish the tower. It wasn’t completed for another 46 years, only three years before the church had to close at the onset of world war two. Fortunately All Saints’ survived the war undamaged and reopened as a garrison church when the city was liberated by the allied armies in 1944. All Saints’ is now coming up to its 125th anniversary at Via del Babuino** and as always money is still in short supply. But perhaps by Easter 2012, a century and a quarter after the first service was celebrated in the new church in 1887, its present chaplain will have performed a new miracle and the much-needed capital fund will be up and running.

The colour recalls the Conté crayon pink of the Grand Tour souvenirs of the amateur painter – it is the pink of the oversweet Sicilian cassata, of curdled blood, or tired sunsets – made of alizarin crimson or madder lake mixed with creamy Piero-della-Francesca titanium white. The last painting in the “Roma” group has a list of Guston’s favourite painters unscroll gauchely on it. A veritable “Glaubensbekenntnis”, it is so humbly and solemnly sincere it makes you smile; in its simplicity it is grand. Refreshed after his pastoral pause and Roman holiday, back in Woodstock with his gang of poets and composers Guston launched himself into the onslaught of his last years, copiously illustrated here by a documentary by Michael Blackwood complete with vivid interviews of the artist and show-installation shots. It is a must for those who know little about the work before or after “Roma”, who have no clue as to the scope and tremendous variation of Guston’s work, especially at the end. He had launched himself into something dire and brave, bracingly brutal, he had plunged himself into an attack of ferocious inelegance. Smiling out of the side of his mouth, facing our horror and doom, he strode into a new monumental figuration, a sere roughness. Goya, Art Brut and Dubuffet, Giacometti, George Herriman of Krazy Kat, Robert Crumb, Basquiat and Twombly had all had a hand in it and tried it – we all should. Guston understood: “We are primitives really, despite our knowing.” Lumpish stuff: tumbles of hobnailed boots, concentration camp detritus, Madonna eyes rising from a swamp, gory sunset, unidentifiable insects stuck in squishy ravines, sufferers or ghoulish perpetrators. Painted lavishly with fearless invention and fury, in live night-colour, by a big-hearted man, the pictures are cunning, eerie and beautiful. Edith Schloss Philip Guston, Roma.

Mary Wilsey *Part of the fundraising problem for All Saints’ in the 1880s was that potential donors in England were more interested in the construction of another Anglican church, Holy Trinity, a breakaway rival project supported by The Times newspaper. Holy Trinity church was consecrated in 1883 in Piazza S. Silvestro (not to be confused with the present S. Silvestro in Capite, the church for English-speaking Roman Catholics in Rome). It was pulled down less than half a century later when the square was revamped during the fascist era and a new church was built in Via Romagna close to where the Irish church of St Patrick’s is now. Holy Trinity closed permanently in 1937. **For about 60 years before that Anglicans worshipped just outside Porta del Popolo in the so-called Granary Building (see on the right of the Vasi print on page 3). It was pulled down when the two heavy towers protecting the gate were demolished in the 1880s to make way for the two smaller side arches in today’s Porta del Popolo. All Saints’ Anglican Church, Via del Babuino 153/b, tel. 0636001881, www.allsaintsrome.org. Historical details about the church are contained in the booklet All Saints’ Church by Araine Vaerla Braga, published in 2006 and available at the church.

Look out for sophisticated musicians and contemporary music programmes in concerts, recitals and round tables at Sermoneta’s Castello Caetani and Valvisciolo Abbey, at the Fossanova Abbey in Priverno, but also at the Cortile della Giudea in Fondi, at the auditorium in Sperlonga and in the Piazza Duomo of Lenola.

Spoleto Spoleto Festival 2010. 18 June-4 July. Film and stage director Giorgio Ferrara is once again at the helm of the famous arts festival with a good line-up of sponsors after last year’s successful run. Ferrara is adamant that the programme has maintained its multidisciplinary and international character. However a quick look reveals that it features only one opera, three ballets, a selection of classical, contemporary and pop music events and lots and lots of drama - most of it in Italian.

for up-to-date what’s on listings see www.wantedinrome.com Z dance Milan Balletto del Teatro alla Scala. 25 June-16 July. In Romeo and Juliet, choreography by Kenneth McMillan. The first ballet production of Romeo and Juliet was staged in Venice in 1785. Since then there have been well over 100 new versions by numerous choreographers, almost exclusively classical in nature, and almost all using Prokofiev’s dramatically expressive score. Of all the versions MacMillan’s is probably the most popular and the key to its popularity lies in his approach to choreography and especially to characterisation. MacMillan himself said that he was not interested in the purely decorative side of ballet but in people and that if a story calls for the choreography to be ugly, just as life can sometimes be, then so be it. Thus, his Romeo and Juliet is about real people and what they felt, not just about characters from a book. Teatro alla Scala, tel. 027203744, www.teatroallascala.org.

with a programme subtitled “The best…”. It is divided into two sections, the first featuring “the best of…” choreographic works by artists who have contributed to the history of the festival and the second dedicated to “the best in the world” with a series of performances created especially for the occasion. The programme features the Italian company Aterballetto with “the best of its repertory” (1 July), soloists of the Staatsballett of Berlin (13 July), The Esperia Ballet with a tryptich created by Malandain, Jacopo Godani and Mohovich (15 July) and the Otango Company in cinc’OTANGO (22-23 July).

Spoleto Lar Lubovitch Dance Company. 25-27 June. For Spoleto Festival 2010. In Dancing Jazz, choreography by Lar Lubovitch. The programme underlines Lubovitch’s longstanding interest in jazz in three distinctive works. The first, Coltrane’s Favorite Things, is set to an arrangement of My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music. Danced against a Jackson Pollock backdrop, the work is Lubovitch’s musing on Coltrane’s “sheets of sound” and on Pollock’s giant canvas. The second, Elemental Brubeck, has a very clean and freshly-scrubbed look and the dancers revel in their own energy; with references to the jitterbug and other social dancers from days gone by, the piece flows with endless comings and goings by the dancers as individuals or in pairs. The third, Nature Boy: Kurt Elling, named after the composer whose music inspired Lubovitch, is moody and deals mostly with interlocking love duets. Teatro Romano. For booking and information tel. 0743776444, www.festivaldispoleto.com. Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet. 1-3 July. For Spoleto Festival 2010. In Sunday Again, choreography by Jo Stromgren, Unit in Reaction, choreography by Jacopo Godani, and Frame of View, choreography by Didi

Veldman. New York’s Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet’s French-born director, Benoit-Swan Pouffer, has cleverly carved a niche for his company by consistently inviting European choreographers, often little known to New Yorkers, to create new work. The results aren’t always exemplary, but the performers are wonderful, adept at picking up different styles and always impressive in their articulation and intensity. Teatro Nuovo.

Tivoli Vertigo Dance Company. 26 June. For the FestiVAI Internazionale di Villa Adriana. In Mana - Vessel of Light, choreography by Noa Wertheim. This new work by the Israeli “eco-friendly” choreographer Wertheim refers to a quotation from the Zohar, the group of books that are at the base of Jewish mystical thought known as “Kabbalah”. The silhouette of the house on stage symbolises the border that separates the exterior from the interior, the individual’s attempt to reconnect with himself within his framework. Wertheim’s choreography stems from a spiral movement that gathers energy and momentum. Villa Adriana, tel. 0680241281, www.auditorium.com.

Opera Notes Pier Luigi Pizzi’s production of The Turn of the Screw at La Fenice in Venice is conducted by Jeffrey Tate, who comes to this work by Benjamin Britten after a long season with Wagner. In Ravenna Riccardo Muti conducts the Mozart and the Niccolò Jommelli versions of Betulia liberata in two different productions with two different casts. The Turn of the Screw di Benjamin Britten ebbe la sua prima assoluta alla Fenice di Venezia il 14 settembre 1954, adesso vi ritorna (25 giugno-3 luglio) con un nuovo allestimento curato da Pier Luigi Pizzi, che nel passato ha messo in scena Death in Venice di Britten con esiti più che felici; sul podio ci sarà il direttore Jeffrey Tate, che dopo aver suonato tanto Wagner (e aver vinto il Premio Abbiati con Götterdämmerung) adesso torna a Venezia come interprete di un autore a lui particolarmente caro e congeniale. Tra i cantanti Anita Watson, Julie Mellor, Marlin Miller e Allison Oakes. The Turn of the Screw è tratta dall’omonimo racconto di Henry James, di cui conserva intatto lo spirito sia nel generale della trama in sia nel particolare dei dettagli. Assai elaborata è la parte musicale. Si apre con un tema dal ritmo assai incisivo che si ripete variato per ogni scena dell’opera; solo alla fine perde le note alterate (diesis e bemolle) per lasciare spazio a quelle naturali, come descrizione sonora della liberazione del mondo puro e innocente dei fanciulli da quello corrotto e colpevole degli adulti. Prende il via Ravenna Festival 2010. L’oratorio Betulia liberata di Mozart sarà rappresentato al Teatro Alighieri (2, 4 e 6 luglio) per la direzione di Riccardo Muti, un cast vocale di giovani cantanti e la regia di Marco Gandini. È ispirato al racconto biblico di Giuditta e Oloferne e fu composto da Mozart appena quindicenne; è rispettoso delle convenzioni del teatro settecentesco, ma le svecchia anche con il ricco uso dell’orchestra, i contrasti tematici e i molti ed esaltati virtuosismi vocali. L’oratorio si avvale di un libretto scritto da Pietro Metastasio che fu musicato anche da Niccolò Jommelli nel 1743, quasi trent’anni prima di Mozart; piacque così tanto al compositore Johann Adolf Hasse, che raccomandò Jommelli perché diventasse maestro di cappella nel celebre veneziano Ospedale degli Incurabili. Questa Betulia liberata sarà presentata in forma di concerto nella Chiesa di A scene from Mozart's version of Betulia Liberata in Ravenna. S. Apollinare in Classe (5 luglio) sempre diretta da Photo by Silvia Lelli. Riccardo Muti ma cantata da Laura Polverelli, Terry Wey, Dimitri Korchak e Vito Priante. Sarà interessante vedere come due autori molto diversi tra loro affrontano uno stesso testo.

Once a week she enters the paediatric oncology ward and for three hours she works with hospitalised children there.

The Magic Box

Prickle

In the box I will put

You say you like the prickly feeling, around on your tongue, after tasting a kiwi, the involuntary shudder reflected in the oval silver of the spoon. The pungent smell prickles your nose awakening your senses, and releasing a sea in your mouth. Stretched out in the afternoon sun, you delight in picking up a green bulk, full of seeds with no future. You dig into it, curving around with your spoon to get to the core. That is what you do, curve around, to get to the core. But curving around doesn’t always obtain what you desire, may that be the covering or the core.

A xylophone going to have an x-ray And a zebra with zero stripes in a zoo And a yellow yo-yo dancing yesterday In the box I will put A statue running And a purple lake And a surfing dog My box is made with crystals and diamonds And fire on the top And blue lightening in the corners I shall fly in my box And drink silly water And arrive on a beach Sophie Potin, age 7 Castelli International School

Dear Oxygen I wonder if the sun will rise even without you by my side, If someday I’ll be able to see you, If ever I will feel you. But there’s that fear, That fear of loss, Every time I think about it, I feel cold fingers curl themselves around my heart, Trying to take you away, Trying to kill me, You’re my other half, You are now part of me. You make my story, I don’t need much to make one, I don’t have much, But I have you. I know that someday you’ll leave me, Join another body, Another life. So tell me, At least for now, Will you continue being… My Hero? Caterina Piccolomini, age 12 St George’s British International School

Eroe Davanti alla casa di mia zia Rosalia, nella foresta della Florida centrale dove prima di Colombo cacciavano gli indiani Seminole, regna una quercia grandiosa. una quercia che ha protetto gli indiani tra i suoi foltissimi rami come una madre protegge i propri figli. Una Quercia che ha respinto gli invasori spagnoli tra mille frecce scagliate contro il suo tronco maestoso. “Oh quercia! Oh quercia! Grattacielo di legno eroe intrepido di età antiche ed età moderne.” Una quercia regna e regnerà ancora nella foresta della Florida centrale davanti alla casa di mia zia Rosalia.

L’era glaciale Ho fatto un sogno molto speciale mi sono trovata nell’era glaciale. Pinguini, foche e orsi polari facevan la fila per un paio d’occhiali. Erano occhiali particolari facevan vedere tutti i contrari. La neve era verde colore del prato, il cielo era azzurro strato su strato. I pinguini eran gazzelle, le foche eran leoni, gli orsi polari eran tanto più buoni la nube era il sole più caldo che mai, che bello quel sogno che ho già fatto ormai. Celeste Rosi, age 8 Britannia International School

Il bisogno di vedere centinaia di occhi che mi vedono come uomo, ma io un uomo non sembro. Uomo vorrei sembrare, ma uomo non mi vedi. Il bisogno mi oscura il buio mi viola il cuore. Vedi il mio lamento uscire, trapassare le mie illusioni. Il mondo ruota più in movimento di quanto io potrei vedere. Violenti uomini mi liberano, violano i bui, le catene; l’illusione del mio libero corpo mi lega mani e piedi obbligati a disubbidire. Obbligato a vedere la bellezza che il mondo mi vieta. Troppi pensieri prendono posto in me, non conosco i sentimenti per fermarli. Libere risate di liberi amici, unica porta per ospitare serenità dal mio corpo.
