RUGGERO SAVINIO Rovine, 1997

tecnica mista su carta intelata, 29x21 cm Ruggero Savinio was born in Turin in 1934, lived in Paris and Milan, had his first solo show in Rome in 1956, and settled here in 1984. He had special halls in the Venice Biennales of 1988 and 1995, was in many other international shows, is in the collection of the Guggenheim Museum in New York. He comes from a family of illustrious painters and is married to a poet. Intensely erudite and thoughtful, he has written novels, essays, thoughts about other painters and taught in institutions in Italy and in the United States. Savinio is a subtle, slowly revealing painter. His work is darkly glowing, made of many layers of musings. There are the landscapes: a woodland of bushy trees and hedges around lush grassy meadows sown with a misty wildflower or a dapple of sunlight here and there, welling with sparkling hidden springs or little waterfalls, they are garnered near dusky arcadian places like the wild pagan altars of Poussin. There are the interiors: quickened by fireplaces and lamps, they are faintly stirring with unrecognised personnages engaged in reading or other very private activities. In today’s work, Savinio is close to yesterday’s Symbolism, where the idea, not the reality of the given, counts. Deliberate, meditatively wrought, his painting leads us into dreamy freshening haunts which are timeless.

LIFE FOR REFUGEES IN ROME Even when they receive official status, life can be tough for refugees in Rome and many have to rely on religious organisations for help

n a sunny April morning in Rome, crowds are bustling past the fashionable shops on Via Nazionale. Few notice the side-entrance to St Paul’s Within the Walls, the striking pink and cream American Episcopal church, or the people who slip in and out discreetly. But descending the narrow steps to the church’s crypt, you feel as though you are entering another world. In the basement more than 100 young men – there is just one female refugee at the centre that morning – mill about, some playing ping-pong, others sitting about in their ethnic groups chatting. Half of them are sitting quietly in front of a television screen at one end of the crypt. Bizarrely, these young African, Middle Eastern and Asian men in their 20s and 30s are completely engrossed in the British royal wedding being broadcast live. The crypt doubles as the Joel Nafuma Refugee Centre and it receives up to 250 political refugees a day, most of them from Afghanistan and Somalia. Not to be confused with other immigrant groups such as economic migrants, the people who use the centre have fled political persecution and wars in their homelands and are in the process of claiming political asylum in Italy. The centre is an important social hub for them to meet others who speak their language. It provides meals, classes and basic provisions such as second-hand clothing. Akbatan Abdulla, known by all as Tuana, is the coordinator of refugee services at the centre. He first came to Italy himself a refugee from Iraqi Kurdistan, but his grasp of five languages enabled him to take on this multitasking and frenetic role. In between answering questions in Arabic and Farsi from the young men who surround him, registering their personal details and smoothing over minor disputes, Tuana explains some of the problems faced by refugees in Rome. “It’s very difficult. To get a bed in one of the city’s hostels, they need to show documents, and even so there’s a waiting list. So most people who come here are sleeping on the streets.” The centre receives those who have been granted political asylum or subsidiary protection as well as those whose asylum application has been refused pending an appeal hearing. Most of the young men at the centre don’t want to stay in Italy – their ambition is to go to other European countries. Many have spent time in the UK – hence their interest in British events – but the UK authorities have sent them back to the first country in Europe in which they arrived: Italy. Tuana explains with great regret that there is nothing for them here: “For them, Italy is no better than Afghanistan. Here they are sleeping rough in the street. There at least they have homes.” He believes that the European Union should be doing more to address the issue of political refugees and that all EU countries should share the burden of providing services for asylum seekers. According to figures from Eurosat, the EU’s statistics body, 11,325 decisions were made on asylum requests in Italy in 2010 and 4,305 – or 38 per cent – of these received a positive decision, i.e. they were granted refugee status, subsidiary protection or permission to stay for humanitarian reasons. The average percentage of positive asylum decisions for EU member states is 25 per cent. The main groups of asylum applicants in Italy in 2010 were from Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Wanted in Rome 8 June 2011

So what are the prospects for a political refugee in Italy? Tuana believes they are bleak. He says: “Most of these people [at the centre] don’t have a future in Italy. The situation is very difficult and now there is the economic crisis too. Many people who come here don’t have high school education, they don’t speak Italian. Female refugees can at least find jobs as domestic helps, but many men will not find work.” The difficulties are confirmed by Vincent and Sam*, two refugees in their mid-30s from Sierra Leone, who fled their country before the end of the civil war there in 2002. Even though they have subsidiary protection status in Italy, they are now eager to get back to their homeland. The reason? After years in Italy and despite being physically fit and able to speak English and Italian, both men are still homeless and relying on food hand-outs. They have stories of racism and intimidation from the police, bureaucratic difficulties and lack of integration with the community. “Do you know how many Italian friends I have here?” Vincent remarks with ironic amusement. These two men are not alone in having come to Italy looking for sanctuary from a war-torn country, only to find that the welfare services needed to support political refugees are not in place. It is a story familiar to Donatella Parisi, communications officer at the Centro Astalli Foundation a few steps from Piazza Venezia, which provides 300 meals to political refugees in Rome every day. She is now seeing refugees asking for assistance over a much longer time-frame. “We are seeing people continuing to ask for meals after six months because they don’t have an alternative. There is no social assistance for them.” Centro Astalli, the Italian arm of the Jesuit Refugee Service, is in the front line of refugee assistance in Italy. It offers support, advice, food or beds to 26,000 people each year, 16,000 of them in Rome. Stricter border controls meant that fewer new asylum seekers came to Centro Astalli last year – in the first ten months of 2010 some 8,800 people reached Europe by sea (arriving in Italy, Greece, Cyprus and Malta), compared with 32,000 in the same period of 2009. Parisi adds: “We have seen a drop in the number of people asking us for assistance, but we are seeing people in worse conditions.” Parisi explains that many of the refugees have endured the most gruelling and horrific traumas, ranging from torture in their homelands and at the hands of human traffickers, dangerous overland journeys hidden in and under haulage trucks, or hazardous sea crossings (many cannot swim). Traffickers can demand US$5,000-€6,000 for a voyage to Europe and people are made to work – or are abused – to pay the traffickers before reaching their destination. According to Father Giovanni La Manna, president of Centro Astalli, the Italian government needs to do much more to provide international protection to refugees. He writes in the association’s 2011 report: “The national system of assistance [for refugees] is seriously insufficient (in 2010 it provided about 3,000 places). The right to asylum therefore becomes a tragic game of roulette, in which there are the lucky few and many who are excluded.” Bija Knowles *not their real names St Paul’s Within the Walls, Via Napoli 58, tel. 064883339, www.stpaulsrome.it.

VOTING ON THE GOVERNMENT’S FUTURE

good part of Italy has spoken very loudly. The centre-left won resounding victories in key local elections in the cities of Milan and Naples and also in a host of other comuni. Milan. After a very bitter and divisive campaign, the centre-left candidate for mayor of Milan, Giuliano Pisapia, increased his first round lead over the outgoing mayor, the centre-right’s Letizia Moratti, winning 55.1 per cent of the vote. The result has some relevance to Milan’s day-to-day administration, which is why voters went to the polls (at least in theory), but it has a major effect on Italy’s government. Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi staked his reputation on Moratti’s winning in the first round. He lost, and there were rumblings in the government coalition between Berlusconi’s Popolo della Libertà (PdL) and Umberto Bossi’s Lega Nord. They papered over their differences to fight a united campaign for the second round of voting, but this was not enough to persuade Milan to support Moratti and Berlusconi. The result has also energised the centre-left parties who will now do their best to bring out the voters for next week’s referendums to maintain the antiBerlusconi momentum. Berlusconi and his government have tried to ignore the issues, but with the victory of the opposition in Milan the government now risks a third defeat if the four motions, all of which supported by the centre left, should win (see below); this would increase the likelihood of a reshuffle and maybe even of a new government. Naples. The election in Naples, pitching Luigi De Magistris on the left against Gianni Lettieri on the right, which was fought more on local issues than the one in Milan, was always going to be less important of the two, but with the massive centre-left victory the opposition has shown that its different elements can work together to beat Berlusconi and the centreright parties. Above all the Neapolitans have shown that they are fed up with the established parties. The centre left has governed the city for almost 20 years and recently has made a terrible mess of it. But then Berlusconi promised miracles and succeeded only in sweeping the rubbish under the carpet. So Naples has elected De Magistris, a crusading prosecutor who will have to show that he really is different and can solve the problems of Italy’s most turbulent city. It was always going to be a tough campaign for the local elections, but the risk of losing control of the city governments in both Milan and Naples raised the stakes for the centre-right parties of Berlusconi’s governing coalition. Even before her defeat in the first round of voting, Moratti had been overly strident, even falsely accusing Pisapia of having been convicted of a terrorism-related offence. After the first round all the centre-right’s spokespeople hammered on the presumed extremism of the opposition, trying to paint its candidates as communists, mosque-builders and protectors of irregular immigrants and Roma, often getting close to explicit racism. Berlusconi blatantly used his own television networks and the public broadcaster RAI to get his message across without any regard for the equal-access provisions of the laws regulating the media, so much so that the regulatory authority fined the broadcasters for breach of the regulations. The carrots that the centre-right parties offered voters included the suggestion that there would be an amnesty for illegal building in Naples and another for traffic fines in Milan. There was a tug-of-war over transferring one or more ministries from Rome to the north to keep Bossi happy (and maybe one to Naples). This only accentuated the splits within the Wanted in Rome 8 June 2011

The referendums on 12-13 June are the next test for Berlusconi’s government.

centre right, with the PdL and Rome’s centre-right mayor Gianni Alemanno trying to stop ministries migrating. In Milan, there were accusations of physical violence on both sides. It was a campaign that showed more signs of desperation than of normal political issues. Now that the local elections are over the four referendums on 12 and 13 June are the next test for the government. A referendum can be called if half a million citizens request it, but only to repeal an existing law. Since 1974, when the first referendum was held, they have been used to push governments to address issues such as abortion or to change a law by removing key phrases or articles, as was the case in the early 1990s for election law reform. This year there are four questions. The most controversial is whether Italy should restart its nuclear energy programme, stopped by a referendum in 1987. In 2009 a law was passed allowing the government to restart the construction of nuclear power stations, and it is the abrogation of this law that is being voted on in the present referendum. However Berlusconi has tried to prevent the vote from taking place by saying that the government will delay the start of the new nuclear building programme on the grounds that the Fukushima disaster in Japan has prevented a reasonable debate taking place at present. But on 1 June the Court of Cassation ruled that it was legitimate for the referendum to take place. Another question for the voters is whether to maintain the so-called “legitimate impediment” law, passed last year by the Berlusconi government and allowing ministers not to appear in court if they had a “legitimate impediment” due to their government duties. In practice the law was almost annulled when the Constitutional Court decreed in January that it had to be the courts themselves and not ministers who decided what was or was not a legitimate impediment. This is why Berlusconi has had to appear in court on his four criminal charges. The other two referendums involve issues about the pricing of water and the extent of private investment in municipal water utilities. In practice, the only real issue is whether the quorum of 50 per cent plus one vote of the electorate will be reached. It is highly likely that the motions to repeal the laws will pass in all of the referendums but if there is no quorum the results will be invalid. The government has done its best to sideline the referendums from the start. First it refused to allow the vote to be on the same day as the local elections in May. Then it chose the latest date possible in the hope that voters would be at the seaside that weekend. Finally they have hardly campaigned on the issues so as not raise interest in the subjects and so increase the turnout. Once again, as with the local elections, the real issue is not so much the subject of the referendums but Berlusconi’s support in the country. James Walston 5

JOYCE IN ROME Although Rome may have provided inspiration for one of James Joyce’s classic tales, the writer did not enjoy his time in the capital

ome was rather tense in 1906. Pope Pius X, still smarting from his loss of the papal states some 30 years earlier, refused to move beyond the sanctuary of St Peter’s while the Savoy family, his rivals and Italy’s new monarchs, built rather grand monuments, empty gestures of grandeur. Into this tension walked 24-year-old James Joyce; a man desperately trying to escape tensions of his own. Since leaving Dublin, Joyce had been living in the Adriatic coastal town of Trieste, in northeast Italy. He had made quite an impact on the expatriate community and their hangers-on. Many people befriended Joyce and seemed endlessly willing to help him and his wife as they struggled to come to terms with the realities of raising a young family. But Joyce was a restless and flamboyant character whose fondness for alcohol worried his wife and riled his English school employers. Joyce even lured his brother Stanislaus to Trieste, knowing full well the extra income would help maintain his indulgent lifestyle. To make matters worse, the school director absconded, leaving the school in disarray and Joyce without a regular income. There was always trouble in Trieste. Perhaps Rome, with all its mysterious splendour and history, could inspire him to greatness. Destiny and fame surely awaited him. This was the city of the Caesars. It was where Keats died, where Goethe had roamed the Forum and Joyce’s great hero Ibsen spent many happy months. Joyce fixed his mind on the eternal city and went about securing a job for himself with little difficulty. Aided by a letter of recommendation from a former lord mayor of Dublin, Timothy Harrington, Joyce was offered a temporary post in the bank of Nast, Kolb and Schumacher, which stood at the corner of Via del Corso and Via S. Claudio, today the site of a large department store. Arriving in Rome on 31 July 1906, the Joyce family took lodgings on the third floor of a house at 52 Via Frattina, where today a plaque commemorates his stay. The accommodation was small but close to his work and the bars and cafés around the Spanish Steps. From the very beginning, however, his letters to Stanislaus speak negatively of the city and its people. According to Joyce, the area around the Colosseum was simply “like an old cemetery with broken columns of temples and slabs.” In a letter to his brother, he wrote, “Rome reminds me of a man who lives by exhibiting to travellers his grandmother’s corpse.” It’s clear that the city’s former glories did nothing for such a modern man. But he clearly admits his own shortcomings and demonstrates his indignation in another letter to Stanislaus, lamenting: “I wish I knew something of Latin or Roman history. But it’s not worthwhile beginning now. So let the ruins rot.” His work in the bank was soul-destroying. He often had to work 12 hours a day, copying up to 200 letters in an office where he had no interaction with the public. He had nothing but contempt for his colleagues who spoke endlessly of their ailments. His brother received constant updates on how difficult life in Rome was. And although Joyce was earning more money in the bank, he frequently begged his brother to send more cash. By November, Joyce’s landlady was tiring of his excessive alcohol abuse Wanted in Rome 8 June 2011

and requested that he leave the accommodation on Via Frattina. Joyce expected to charm his way out of the tight spot but the signora stuck firmly to her guns and Joyce found himself homeless with his young family. After four days spent searching, the young writer moved into Via Monte Brianzo 51, near Piazza Navona. By Christmas, Joyce was forced to take another job as a teacher, but it wasn’t enough and the family dined on pasta on a thoroughly depressing Christmas Day. While he struggled to make ends meet in Rome nothing came from his pen. He found no time to write and no immediate inspiration. The Roman ruins compounded his misery. He complained of nightmares involving “death, corpses, assassinations, in which I take an unpleasantly prominent part.” The intrigues and gore of ancient Rome infiltrated his psyche and it seems he began to develop a strange appreciation of his native Dublin, something not so keenly felt since his departure. It was at this time that the ideas for his wonderful short story, The Dead, began their gestation. Perhaps the simple Christmas lunch and signora Dufour’s apparently barbarous treatment of his family led to dreams of more lavish feasts and what the story’s hero Gabriel Conroy refers to as unique Irish hospitality. In the same breath Joyce, through Gabriel, a character all the while fixated on the attractions and trappings of continental Europe, acknowledges those things that Ireland has to offer the world by way of this tradition. Rome’s somewhat crude irreverence for the dead who are constantly on display, whether through imperial Rome’s whimsical caesars or greedy popes, is in sharp contrast to the quiet, melancholy image of Dublin covered in snow. The romance and bombast of Michelangelo, Bernini and Borromini contrasts with the humble but no less passionate Michael Furey in The Dead who, we find out, courted Gabriel’s wife Gretta and died of consumption but may, as Gretta reveals, have “died for me.” Eventually, Joyce had had enough and he decided to leave Rome. The day before leaving he was given his last pay cheque from his bank job, and splashed out on a few farewell drinks. As he drank, two men managed to get a look inside his wallet and when Joyce left the café they attacked and robbed him. Luckily, he had left some of his pay at his lodgings and with it he packed his son and his wife onto a train for Trieste and left Rome. He never returned.

VANITAS: LOTTO, CARAVAGGIO AND GUERCINO 21 May-2 25 Sept Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, the most important private museum in Rome, hosts Vanitas, an exhibition on the theme of the futility of earthly things. It follows the development of vanity and futility in European culture from its Christian origins to its presence in allegorical paintings and everyday objects such as a collection of 18th-century clocks crowned by the image of Time armed with a sickle to recall the fleeting nature of earthly time. Throughout the centuries the Doria Pamphilj family commissioned many paintings on this theme by such artists as Caravaggio, Lorenzo Lotto, Jusepe de Ribera, Domenico Fetti, Guercino, Andrea Sacchi, and Mattia Preti, which now form part of the Dorja Pamphilj collection. Also on display are sculptures, decorative objects, books and musical compositions, which present a modern and interdisciplinary reflection on this theme in various historical and cultural contexts. The first section focuses on still life paintings, the second on religious objects, the third on portraiture and the final section is dedicated to Cardinal Benedetto Pamphilj, patron of the arts and a poet who wrote the famous oratorio Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno set to music by Georg Friedrich Händel in 1707.

RITRATTI Le tante facce del potere 10 March-2 25 Sept The present exhibition, the second in the five-year project organised by the Capitoline Museums, I Giorni di Roma, focuses on ancient Roman portraiture with a selection of 150 heads and busts, as well as full-length statues mostly of Roman emperors.

XU LONGSEN Dall-a alto di due imperi 22 June-2 24 July Museo della Civiltà Romana displays the first Italian exhibition of Xu Longsen, one of the main protagonists of the Chinese contemporary art scene. This exhibition embraces Longsen’s career from his early beginnings to his latest large-scale works made on rice paper. There is a special focus on the differences and similarities between eastern and western art. Longsen’s works express the deepest essence of eastern spirituality. The artist’s rocky landscapes invite

viewers to take their own individual path through the natural areas represented, which seem to lead to a ritual of regeneration. If in the west beauty and art have always been linked to the concept of power and pomp, in the great Chinese tradition art was primarily an instrument of inner reflection and purification of the soul.

OPERA NOTES L’osteria di Marechiaro by Paisiello tells the tale of rich nobles, poor fishermen and the beauty of nature. It is staged in a successful 2001 version by Roberto De Simone. The final opera in the Maggio Musicale programme is L’incoronazione di Poppea by Monteverdi conducted by Alan Curtis and staged by Pier Lugi Pizzi. Il Teatro S. Carlo di Napoli apre già la propria stagione estiva con L’osteria di Marechiaro di 14 giugno). Fu rappresentata a Napoli nella seconda metà del Settecento Giovanni Paisiello (11-1 e si scrisse che ottenne un “indicibile concorso”; la musica sa ben presentare la comicità dell’azione e i sentimenti dei personaggi, ma sa descrivere adeguatamente anche gli eventi magici (c’è uno spiritello da “Mille e una notte” che salta fuori da una bottiglia), la vita dei nobili ricchi e dei pescatori poveri e le bellezze naturali (Marechiaro è da sempre un luogo di culto da visitare e da immortalare nelle pitture). Tra i momenti migliori c’è il finale, un largo di sorprendente cantabilità a più voci, scritto come un pezzo di musica da chiesa. L’osteria di Marechiaro torna al San Carlo in un allestimento di successo del 2001 per la regia di Roberto De Simone, che ha riscoperto e rivisitato anche la partitura. Direttore d’orchestra sarà Donato Renzetti, e tra i numerosi interpreti ci saranno Monica Bacelli, Antonio Siragusa e Marina Comparato, esperti di “belcanto”. Il Maggio Musicale Fiorentino è in dirittura di arrivo; come ultimo titolo operistico propone al Teatro alla Pergola L’incoronazione di Poppea di Claudio Monteverdi (18, 20 e 22 giugno). È un capolavoro del teatro barocco per l’attenzione che riserva alle psicologie e ai comportamenti dei personaggi; racconta l’amore illecito di Poppea per Nerone, usato come merce di scambio, con effetti disastrosi: Ottone, che ama Poppea, è condannato all’esilio; Ottavia, che è la legittima moglie di Nerone, è esiliata e l’onesto filosofo Seneca, la guida spirituale di Nerone, è costretto al suicidio. La critica ha supposto che molta musica di L’incoronazione di Poppea sia stata scritta con il contributo di Francesco Cavalli, allievo e pupillo di Monteverdi; il duetto finale “Pur ti miro” sicuramente non è di Monteverdi, ma resta in ogni caso una delle pietre miliari della musica di ogni tempo. Lo spettacolo sarà diretto da Alan Curtis e allestito da Pier Luigi Pizzi, gli interpreti principali saranno: Susan Graham (Poppea), Jeremy Ovenden (Nerone), José Maria Lo Monaco (Ottavia), Anders Dahlin (Ottone) e Matthew Brook (Seneca). Alan Curtis conducts L'incoronazione di Poppea by Monteverdi, Paolo Di Nicola

the final opera in Florence's Maggio Musicale programme.

DANCE RAVENNA CINDERELLA by Matthew Bourne 8-1 12 June This 1997 creation by the iconoclastic British choreographer Matthew Bourne, takes the traditional Cinderella fairy tale and turns it upside down. The heroine is a bookish and oppressed girl in a well-to-do society house, and an injured RAF pilot replaces the prince. And although there are many changes to the plot, the basics remain. The story is set in the bombed streets of world war two London and the ball itself takes place in the Café Du Paris, the infamous underground dance hall that was heavily shelled, killing 34 revellers in the process. Though Prokofiev’s fairytale score is sometimes in striking contrast to the destruction and clamour of war, it works well probably because he composed the work in the middle of the

Wanted in Rome 8 June 2011

war. Bourne has also introduced new elements that make the noise of war still louder. Wailing sirens, the rattle of anti-aircraft fire and the crashing of bombs merge seamlessly with the music, while a screen shows a propaganda newsreel of burning buildings, and what to do when the bombs fall on London. The ballet contains many touching scenes, and in the end, Cinderella turns into another kind of fairytale: the miracle of love in war. For booking and information Teatro Alighieri tel. 0544249244, www.ravennafestival.org. ARTEMIS DANZA 9, 10 June In CorpOmbra. Indonesia, choreography by Monica Casadei. The choreographer created this work during her company’s artistic residence in Indonesia when the dancers came in contact and learnt the codes of the ancient Javanese dance theatre. CorpOmbra is a work “for six bodies, six shapes and shadows” in which the

silhouettes, the bodies of the dancers and shadows intertwine and interact. For booking and information Teatro Alighieri tel. 0544249244, www.ravennafestival.org. NEDERLANDS DANS THEATER II 15, 16 June In Gods and Dogs choreography by Jiri Kylian, and Minus 16 choreography by Ohad Naharin. NDT2 is the Amsterdam company for younger dancers, up to the age of 23, preparing to join the main ensemble, and they are invariably excellent. Gods and Dogs, the final ballet that Kylian created for NDTII in his role as resident choreographer, is a mysterious ballet in which Kylian shows the narrow dividing line between normality and madness. Naharin’s “Minus 16”, something of a crowd-pleaser, has become a signature work for the company that actively inviting audience participation.

EUROPRIDE 1-12 June Be there! As we go to press more and more celebrities show support to the Rome 2011 Europride. Among these the well-known singer Fiorella Mannoia and former MP and television star Vladimir Luxuria. The Europride festival will climax on Saturday 11 June with one of the largest gay pride parades ever seen in the capital. The assembly area is in Piazza dei Cinquecento, in front of Termini train station. The parade will set off from there at 16.00 and proceed down Via Cavour, making its way along Via dei Fori Imperiali before reaching the Colosseum and moving on to Circo Massimo. It will be an exciting event with colourful floats, music and community groups. A flamboyant, humourous, creative and friendly celebration of gay pride in a country like Italy where same sex unions are still banned. After the march there will be an unforgettable night club party called Euphoria. Up-to-date information on Europride is available on www.europrideroma.com or at the info points located at the Europride Park (Piazza Vittorio) or at the ‘Souvenir’ shop on Via S.
