DIANA TAYLOR Plummet, 2011 oil / varnish and gloss on birch plywood / 110 x 62 cm “A sense of journey across the shifting, crumbling landscape, and the relationship this has with mass-produced images, which travel our own consciousness are central to my practice. Patterns from domestic settings, diagrams, classifications from guide-books and other printed ephemera appear amongst floating elements, forming a non-linear narrative within the pictorial ground. These images, like ruins, become fragments of our past, falling through time and constantly replacing one another. Spills and drips interrupt the flow and pattern. This is the point where things collapse, opening up an emotional space shaped by alphabets of lost times. The landscape is not static, the ruin is not static, they live on, and slowly, they change with memory.” (DT) Diana Taylor received her MFA in Painting from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2010 and has since exhibited in London and Salzburg. Forthcoming shows in 2011 include the Royal Academy Summer Show, London and Volta fair, Basel.

PUBLIC DEBT AND PUBLIC CONFIDENCE

Italy’s finance minster has managed to patch up faith in the country’s economy but how long will this last?

wo things are surprising about the Italian debt crisis that hit the country in mid-July. The first is that it didn’t happen earlier, and the second is that, when it did happen, both government and opposition parties agreed remarkably quickly on what they had to do. Two of the reasons for the crisis – enormous public debt coupled with an unstable government – are nothing new in Italy. The country’s public debt has always been high. This year it has gone up month by month and is now estimated close to €1,900 billion, over three times the combined debt of Greece, Ireland and Portugal, the European Union’s other failing economies. It amounts to 120 per cent of Italy’s GDP and is second only to that of Greece, now estimated to be around 150 per cent of GDP. (Ireland and Portugal were around 96 per cent and 93 per cent respectively in 2010). But if public debt is staggeringly high, private debt in Italy is much lower than in other economies of similar size, which is one of the reasons why the country weathered the world financial crisis in 2008 better than many others. It is also a reason why repeated Italian governments have believed that public debt could be financed largely from the private purse. With few outlets for family savings available, short-term government bonds at relatively decent interest rates appeared remunerative and safe for small Italian investors. Italian governments were therefore able to finance their borrowing from the private sector at relatively little cost. At a time when the economy was growing and producing more in family savings and taxes than the government was paying in interest on its borrowings, there was comparatively little to worry about. Economists warned that this could not go on forever, but politicians, both on the left and the right, preferred not to look too far ahead. It was only when growth slowed, spluttered and eventually stopped that the trouble started. On the one hand lack of economic growth meant that individual income levelled off, savings went down and the government’s tax-take got less. On the other it meant that, without a steady source of income, the government found it more difficult and more expensive to pay for its borrowings. Fewer savings, declining or static taxable income and rising interest rates were pushing the public debt still higher. When this was coupled with a feeling that the electoral luck of the country’s scandal-ridden prime minister was finally running out, it was hardly surprising that international confidence in the country suddenly took a tumble. But what to do? If government bonds can be repaid over a longish term, as for example in the United Kingdom, a government can hope that inflation combined with creeping devaluation will depreciate the real value of what it owes by the time it has to be repaid. But Italian bonds have a relatively short life and the eurozone makes devaluation impossible for a single nation. So what options are left? Increasing taxes, cracking down on tax evasion and cutting the budget deficit. Higher taxes are unpopular and also siphon off money that might other-

wise be available for investment in economic growth. Measures to prevent tax evasion are popular but unwieldy, and tend to catch the smaller rather than the bigger fish. And although the stereotype of the tax-dodging Italian dies hard, and governments still find this a popular rallying cry, most of the glaring loopholes have long been blocked. Cutting the budget deficit means politically unpalatable measures, such as fewer and more expensive social services, a longer working life (in other words a higher pensionable age), and public investment in infrastructure, remodernisation and public sector employment. Many people fear – including Mario Draghi who will move from head of the Bank of Italy to the top slot at the European Central Bank in November – that although austerity measures are certainly necessary, the more draconian they are (and cuts of €45 billion in government spending over three years look pretty steep), the more likely they are to stifle economic growth. And without growth all the rest unravels anyway. The big question therefore is whether growth and austerity are compatible. The reaction of the international markets in mid-July and the downgrading of Italy’s creditworthiness by the rating agencies would indicate that the answer is “no”. However the fact that many of the measures will not kick in for another three years, perhaps when the global markets are over the worst of their woes, could mean that Italy will pull off another economic miracle. The speed at which parliament passed the budget measures, which in normal times take months to creep from chamber to chamber, was also an impressive message and a sign that opposition parties are not going to stand in the way when urgent action is needed. With nothing to lose (the signs are that Berlusconi’s time has almost run its course) and lots to gain (if the measures work, parties on the centre-right under new leadership could go into the 2013 elections with their heads held high), maybe this government has found the strength to take the right measures to restore international confidence. Finance minister Giulio Tremonti may have an unfortunate way of getting his message across (his reported statement that if he falls Italy falls, and if Italy falls the euro falls, will not have made him many friends) but he has certainly come up with a package that will put the brakes on the budget deficit. But ill-feeling between Tremonti and Berlusconi is high and the rumourmill is already churning to undermine the finance minister’s integrity. Would Berlusconi dare to get rid of him at this delicate moment? Probably not, but the signs are not auspicious. If he is forced out of office or decides to resign, much will depend on the international standing of his successor. If on the other hand Berlusconi who has little credibility left abroad were finally elbowed aside or to fail to win the parliamentary votes that count (an unlikely but not a totally unrealistic scenario), Italy might be able to recuperate some of its lost prestige. It could then rebuild its image on the international stage and boost faith in its once powerful economy – still one of the eighth largest in the world. Mary Wilsey 3

HARRY Harry Shindler hasn’t stopped fighting since he landed on the Anzio Beachhead in 1944

he older we get, the more important memory becomes. The past becomes increasingly relevant as we have more and more of it and less and less future. And we want to come to terms with that past and put it in order. Politicians write (usually self-serving) memoirs; others try and pass their experiences on to children and grandchildren. Harry Shindler, who turned 90 last month, is doubly entwined with memory: his own and that of an increasing number of people who turn to him for help in resolving their past. Together with La Repubblica journalist, Marco Patucchi, he has written a moving account of two threads of his life: his time as a soldier in the 8th Army in Italy in 1944-45, and the last decade or so in which he has uncovered other people’s world war two past, as part detective, part historian. The soldier Shindler (the book uses different fonts for Shindler’s personal narrative, Patucchi’s comments and their combined research) was a 20year-old Londoner, called up with his two elder brothers as well as millions of others to serve in the British Army, first in the Royal Fusiliers and then in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. After training in Britain, his unit went to Algeria and then to Naples waiting to go into action. Its baptism of fire came in January 1944 when British and American troops landed at Anzio, just south of Rome. It was supposed to be a surprise attack to cut off German supply lines to Montecassino along the Via Casilina, but Major General John Lucas hesitated. He could have moved rapidly across the undefended Roman campagna from the beachhead to take the road; instead he waited and consolidated the landing, and Field Marshall Albert Kesselring had time to bring in reinforcements. Without that delay, Montecassino might have been a battle of days rather than months, becoming the bloodiest of the Italian campaign. The monastery and tens of thousands of lives would have been spared. And for Shindler and his comrades, it would have avoided four months of hell. He describes the details of his life as a soldier both in battle and on leave, how he met his future wife, Ida, in S. Benedetto del Tronto as the 8th Army fought its way up the Adriatic coast, and how the war ended when he was in Trieste. All of this was more than 60 years ago and it is the detached picture of the older man looking at himself. Then there are some of the episodes in which Shindler has tried to find people or memories for others. He has earned the reputation of a conjuror able to pull wartime rabbits out of the hat, working carefully and methodically, going from the Public Records Office in Kew in London to embassies and ministries of defence, using the media to look for traces and invite possible survivors to contact him. There is the “Unknown Englishman” killed at La Storta just north of Rome as the Americans were coming in from the south: he turned out to be a Hungarian Jew, Gabor Adler alias the Scottish soldier, John Armstrong, landed as a special operations agent of the SOE in Sardinia in 1943, captured and then transferred to the Gestapo prison in Via Tasso in Rome. There is the Tuscan girl who wants to find her father: she doesn’t, but she does find a brother in South Africa. Another daughter hoped to find out where her father’s plane went down; Shindler looked for it in Lake Bolsena. Each of the stories gives individual detail and humanity to the grand operations of war and gives flesh to the reasons for the war itself. As a veteran, Shindler works for the Italy Star Association and every year organises and takes part in the Anzio landing commemorations. He takes a very active part in the sensitive and often controversial Italian memories Wanted in Rome 3 Aug 2011

of world war two. For years now, he has spoken in schools and at conferences about the importance of the Italian Resistance and worked with partisan veterans in Rome and S. Benedetto to explain what they were fighting for and keep that memory alive. Almost ten years ago he started a campaign to put up a monument to the liberation of Rome. No one in the city council was actively against the idea but no one, even in a centre-left council under Walter Veltroni, was prepared to actually do it. But Shindler did not give up, and finally a plaque commemorating 4 June 1944 was erected in Piazza Venezia, at the moment in a temporary site under the Vittoriano next to the Mamertine Prison. When the political heirs of Italian fascism, Gianfranco Fini’s Alleanza Nazionale which had risen out of the ashes of the Movimento Sociale Italiano, became part of the Italian government in 1994 and once again “respectable”, Shindler worked hard to warn Italians and other Europeans of the possibilities of a resurgence of fascism, or just the dangers of somehow “rehabilitating” Mussolini. For years he worked as a Labour Party agent in London, and after retiring set up a branch of Labour International in Rome. Since then, he has given up partisan politics, founding the Association of British Ex-Pats in Italy and is now campaigning everywhere to get their vote back. As the law stands at present, UK citizens who have been abroad for more than 15 years are disenfranchised. Shindler has taken the case to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg (Shindler v. the UK) and observers say looks like winning it. But in the meantime he is mobilising Britons abroad in Europe and beyond and lobbying MPs for an All Party Committee to prepare suggestions for legislation for voting rights for Britons living overseas. That young man on Anzio beach is still fighting not quite so dramatically, but for the same principles. James Walston SHINDLER Harry, PATUCCHI Marco La mia guerra non è finita.

ON THE SACRED MOUNTAIN In addition to dominating the skyline, Mt Soratte looms large over local mythology, history and nature he rugged, 691m-high limestone hulk of Mt Soratte juts up from the middle of the Tiber plain 45km north of Rome. It’s an unmistakeable and isolated landmark, clearly visible from many high points in the city and beyond. With its air of solitary mystery, it has always fascinated the people who lived around it. In Roman times it was the domain of the sun god, Apollo. Later it was where the hermit Sylvester healed Constantine, the would-be Roman emperor, of leprosy. In an earlier, darker, age it was the centre of wolf-worship. During the last war, the Germans concealed (it is said) 68 crates of Italian and Jewish gold in its secret underground tunnels. All this makes Soratte, the Sacred Mountain, a very special place and it is hard to understand why it is so little-visited. You can get to Mt Soratte very easily, either by the old Roman Flaminia consular road or the Roma-Florence motorway, exiting at Ponzano-Soratte and following the signs for S. Oreste. A winding country road takes you up the 5 or 6km to the village of S. Oreste, which teeters on the verge of a ridge and commands a stunning view. Mt Soratte is a nature reserve with many animals that have become rare in the Roman countryside, such as pine martens, porcupines, badgers and wild boar, as well as many bird species. Declared a regional park in 2000, it extends over 410 hectares of unspoiled wilderness, scattered with the ruined hermitages and shrines that once made it a fulcrum of early Christianity. The local tourist office (the Pro Loco) advises visitors to get in touch before they venture onto the maze of paths that wind around the hilly slopes. A series of trails with picturesque names have been mapped out, but not all should be tackled unaccompanied. There are no wolves now – they disappeared 200 years ago – but there are other potential perils, like vipers. In pre-Roman times the mountain was the cult centre of the Etruscan wolf god Soranus, who symbolised fertility. The wolf was also sacred to the Sabines and the Latins, whose god of shepherds, Luperco, was half wolf, half goat. Such a powerful symbol could not be ignored by the Romans, who systematically took over their neighbours' religions and customs, so it can hardly be a coincidence that the legendary founder of Rome, Romulus, was suckled by a she-wolf. The Mt Soratte priests were put in charge of the Roman Lupercalia festival, a fertility ritual celebrated in February that was later converted into St Valentine’s Day. The Romans erected a temple to the sun god Apollo on the summit. In due course this was replaced by the sanctuary dedicated to St Sylvester, an early Christian holy man and pope between 314 and 335 AD. Sylvester is Soratte’s dominant figure. According to tradition, he was hiding on the mountain to escape persecution when he was sought out by Constantine, who was camped with his army at nearby Malborghetto in preparation for the battle against Maxentius for the Roman throne. Constantine had leprosy and Sylvester miraculously healed him, contributing to the emperor's conversion to Christianity. The legend was very much alive in the Middle Ages. The story was cited by Dante and is depicted in a series of 13th-century frescoes in the church of SS. Quattro Coronati in Rome. The monastery of S. Silvestro on the peak of Soratte was once so famous that it welcomed members of the rank of Charlemagne's brother, who joined the community in 746. However, at the end of the 16th century the monks moved down to a more sheltered spot because the monastery was frequently hit by lightning. The “new” monastery, called the Madonna delle Grazie, is still a centre of pilgrimage and has a guest house for spiritual retreats. In May, the local community holds a spectacular fire festival in

honour of the revered image of the Lady of Grace kept in the sanctuary. The entire hillside, however, is dotted with votive chapels and the ruins of the many other hermitages that once flourished on the Sacred Mountain. The story of Mt Soratte does not end with the Middle Ages. In 1937 Mussolini dug out some four kilometres of tunnels to serve as a bomb-proof shelter for the Italian high command. German troops under Field Marshall Albert Kesserling occupied the site in 1943, allegedly with a treasure of stolen Italian and Jewish gold. A year later, after an Allied bombing attack, they mined the galleries and abandoned the area. The gold, alas, has never been found, but the Soratte bunker can occasionally be visited (see below). Don’t leave without visiting S. Oreste, a walled mediaeval township, with three city gates still intact, a maze of quiet alleyways and squares flanked by aristocratic residences and lovely old churches. The architect Vignola designed the 16th-century church of S. Lorenzo Maggiore, constructed on top of a pre-existing Romanesque church, the remains of which can be glimpsed through a glass panel in the floor. The frescoed ceiling by the Flemish artist Bartholomeus Spranger was only recently discovered during restoration work. Margaret Stenhouse For information: Bruno Paolucci, President Pro Loco S.

ANCONA XI PERGOLESI SPONTINI FESTIVAL 2-17 Sept Born in Jesi, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi was one of the most important early composers of “opera buffa”. He also composed “opera seria”, sacred music and instrumental works, and many of his compositions were “reworked” by other composers across the centuries. His early death in 1736 (he was only 26 years old) provoked a flourishing of false attributions, spurious works printed with the name of the artist in vogue to feed the publishing market of the time. During the 19th century his myth continued to be enriched with romantic implications and untruths. But his fellow musicians from the Marche region among them Spontini and Rossini acknowledged his Stabat Mater and La Serva padrona as the archetypes of spiritual expression and of comic theatre. In 2000 the Pergolesi Spontini Foundation was founded to enhance the work of the two composers. In 2010, to celebrate the third centenary of the composer's birth, it also published the national edition of Pergolesi’s works and kickedoff a project which foresees the performance of his Opera omnia, which continues in this edition of the festival. Events take place in the towns of Jesi, Ancona, Maiolati Spontini, Montecarotto and Monte S. Vito with the participation of world class musicians. For information Fondazione Pergolesi Spontini, tel. 0731202944, www.fondazionepergolesispontini.com.

CITTÀ DI CASTELLO FESTIVAL DELLE NAZIONI 23 Aug-4 Sept To promote the rich artistic and cultural patrimony of the upper Tiber valley, the festival focuses each year on a different guest country, and this year the spotlight is on Italy. There is also a focus on Liszt for the centenary of his birth and a specially-commissioned world premiere of Salvatore Sciarrino’s latest work. The inauguration concert sets the tone beginning with music by Rossini and Verdi performed by the Virtuosi Italiani ensemble and ending with the suite composed by Nino Rota for Visconti’s cinematographic masterpiece Il Gattopardo.

Two concerts are dedicated to the Venetian and to the Neapolitan schools of music with the participation of violinist Massimo Quarta. The young pianist, Ramin Bahrami – best known for his interpretations of Bach – performs music by Domenico Scarlatti. The programme includes an original version of the popular Italian work for children Gian Burrasca by the singer and composer Elio (of Le Storie Tese). The final concert, by the Orchestra Sinfonica Gioacchino Rossini, presents excerpts from the great Italian melodramatic repertory.

BOLOGNA FESTIVAL DANZA URBANA 1-15 Sept This is the 11th edition of the festival dedicated to contemporary dance and performing arts in urban environments. Organised by the Associazione Culturale Danza Urbana, it unfolds in non-theatrical venues and contexts, offers a new choreographic idiom and a new approach to performing arts. It is part of an international network called “CDQ – Ciudades Que Danzan” that was created in Barcelona in 1997. Conscious of the lack of connection between dance and the public, the Spanish organisation created its first site-specific dance festival to create dance in a seductive space: Gaudì’s Park Guell. It has since coordinated an international circuit integrated by independent festivals. For info www.danzaurbana.it.

ROME CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN DANCE AT VILLA MEDICI 5-15 Sept This is a new project of the French Academy that marks the opening of the academy’s choreographic activity. It’s described as a “Contemporary dance Residence with performers, dancers and choreographers of African origin”. The dance styles of the eight invited artists are inspired by the dynamism and originality of typical contemporary dance in Africa, the Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa: the dancers are from Tunisia, Mali, Algeria, South Africa and Madagascar. The goal is to enable African pioneers of contem-

porary dance to collaborate with the best talents of the new generation in a prestigious place such as Villa Medici.

THE SEVEN KINGS OF ROME by Denise McNee 24 June-5 Aug With The Miracle Players. Known for their wacky take on ancient Roman history, and hilarious yet informative re-enactments of the glories of Rome brought to life in an unbeatable setting. This year the group of well-assorted actors (who are clearly having lots of fun) tell the story of the lives of the seven kings who forged the foundations of Rome. In their own words, The Miracle Players are back with their old style but new jokes, explaining, amongst other things, how she-wolves get themselves into history books, why you should shelter during a thunderstorm, what happens when Roman kings neglect the worship of the gods and just who exactly is King Flame Head! In English. At 19.30 every Friday in front of the Mamertine Prison at the Roman Forum. Entrance is free and booking is unnecessary. For information www.themiracleplayers.org. SHAKESPEARE IN GLOBE 1 July-18 Sept The summer drama season at Rome’s Silvano Toti Globe Theatre comprises five plays by Shakespeare (all of them translated into Italian), and two study/workshops dedicated to texts by the bard. As usual, the artistic director of the season is popular Italian actor Gigi Proietti. The theatre in the heart of Villa Borghese is a fullscale reproduction of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, copied from the original designs, and almost identical to the one that stands on London's South Bank. Upcoming plays include Sogno di una notte di mezzestate, La dodicesima notte and Riccardo III. For information tel. 060608, www.globetheatreroma.com.

OPERA

FOREIGN UNIVERSITIES

OPERA NOTES Adelaide di Borgogna opens the Rossini Festival (10-23 Aug) in Persaro with a new production by Pier’Alli conducted by Dmitri Jurowski. Soprano Daniela Barcellona is well known at the Persaro festival but British-born Jessica Pratt is making her debut. Mosè in Egitto is also a new production by Graham Vick conducted by Roberto Abbado with the mezzosoprano Sonia Ganassi. There are also three other Rossini operas, La scala di seta, Il viaggio a Reims and Il barbiere di Siviglia in concert form as well as four concerts. Il Rossini Opera Festival (10-23 agosto) apre con Adelaide di Borgogna (10-23 agosto). È un’opera in cui Rossini, per problemi di tempo, utilizzò musica propria già composta in precedenza e diversa ne fece scrivere al suo amico Pratt (here in Lucia Lammermoor by Donisetti) debuts Michele Carafa de Colobrano; alla at theJessica Rossini festival in Adelaide di Borgogna. Photo by Marcello Orselli. prima romana del 1817 il lavoro non piacque, oggi è apprezzato anche se è considerato piuttosto convenzionale per la drammaturgia. Questa Adelaide di Borgogna è una nuova produzione di Pier'Alli con la direzione di Dmitri Jurowski e i cantanti Daniela Barcellona, affermata rossiniana che canta spesso al ROF, e Jessica Pratt, una giovane promessa al suo debutto pesarese. Un nuovo allestimento è anche quello di Mosè in Egitto (11-20 agosto), curato dal regista Graham Vick e diretto da Roberto Abbado; vi parteciperà il mezzosoprano Sonia Ganassi che, grazie alla facilità del registro acuto, sempre più spesso si cimenta nei ruoli sopranili scritti da Rossini per la moglie Isabella Colbran. L’anno successivo alla prima del 1818, che fu un fiasco, Mosè in Egitto ottenne il dovuto riconoscimento grazie soprattutto a “Dal tuo stellato soglio”, la preghiera che chiude l’opera, sublime per musica e ispirazione. Terzo titolo in cartellone è La scala di seta (12-21 agosto) che sarà diretta da José Miguel Pérez-Sierra e allestita da Damiano Michieletto. Particolarmente bella è la sinfonia per la freschezza melodica e l’indiavolata scansione ritmica, ma non sono da meno la gradevolezza di alcune arie e l’irresistibile comicità di certi concertati. Come ormai è consuetudine da anni, Emilio Sagi mette in scena Il viaggio a Reims (14 e 17 agosto) diretto da Yi-Chen Lin e interpretato dagli allievi dell'Accademia Rossiniana. Per una sola sera (22 agosto) sarà eseguito in forma di concerto Il barbiere di Siviglia diretto da Alberto Zedda, uno stimato studioso di Rossini nonché il direttore artistico del ROF; sarà cantato da Mario Cassi (Figaro), Juan Francisco Gatell (Il Conte d’Almaviva), Marianna Pizzolato (Rosina) e Nicola Alaimo (Bartolo). Il cartellone del ROF si chiuderà con i concerti di canto di Marianna Pizzolato (13 agosto), Dmitry Korchak (16 agosto), Nicola Alaimo insieme a Mario Cassi (19 agosto) e Marina Rebeka (21 agosto). Paolo Di Nicola

AMERICAN UNIVERSITY Gaetano Filangieri Until 31 Aug An exhibition of the philosophical writings of Neapolitan jurist and philosopher Gaetano Filangieri (1752-1788) in collaboration with the Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Filosofici (IISF) in Naples. Filangieri’s magnum opus “The science of legislation” which espouses legislative and economic reform, unlimited free trade and the promotion of national well-being, carried significant clout in 18thcentury Europe. Some say that Filangieri’s correspondence with Benjamin Franklin influenced America's founding fathers in the writing of the Declaration of Independence, particularly the concept of the “pursuit of happiness”. The American University of Rome, Via P. Roselli 4, m.garzia@aur.edu, tel. 0658330919, ext. 209. www.aur.edu. Mon-Fri 10.00-17.00.

She has edited a collection of essays on Renaissance literature and her work has appeared in publications including The New Yorker, Slate, The Iowa Review and Modern Philology.

On July 19, Lisa Marini Finerty (originally from California by way of Chicago, resident in Otricoli, Terni) passed away at age 57 due to illness at Ospedale San Camillo in Rome.

Wanted in Rome 3 Aug 2011

I have often wondered if Rome has a heart, or whether it is a city dead to anything but tourists and the limited rump of foreigners that are not in diplomatic service or one of the smattering of foreign correspondents, or surveyors like me who are put out to grass here. The sight of two old ladies, they must be both in their sixties the pair of them, permanently camped on Piazza Cinquecento immediately outside the Museo Nazionale di Romano, opposite the brand new brass open arms of the statue of JP convinces me otherwise, and raises one or two fundamental question marks about this city. Permanent is the wrong word, for surely in one more year they will be gone, perhaps sooner, say another three months to add to the three months that I have seen them daily after my commute into Termini and the short walk to my Via Veneto office, both to and fro. They shelter behind an old pram, though without any shade to speak of. One of them is always on the pavement, in the foetal position. The other, she must be the stronger, perhaps the leader and more mentally fit, sits on guard, to the left as passers by see them, pram-side. I cannot get any sense out of the upright lady, who this morning wasn’t in fact on guard, as she was defecating, bent over with her skirt lifted hip height. I have asked, two weeks ago, but I was ineffective in getting through – I do speak Italian – and felt ineffective. Surely, I thought, when I returned from a week’s holiday, they would be gone, and I would have forgotten that I had walked past them daily for the last three months, early on in the long forgotten Spring rain and now in the full radiation of the sun. Can they survive much longer in this sun? Sitting, and lying respectively in the full radioactive glare in this heat wave day in day out? I couldn’t, and none of my fellow commuters could, we wouldn’t last an hour, let alone the eight or so we otherwise spend in our chilled offices, arguing over the temperature controls. I wonder, are they insane? Have they been released into the care of community as part of the longer term cost savings that needs must be made in the Italian civic service? Do they choose to live on the pavement? Perhaps they are making a statement? Perhaps like in India they have chosen to relinquish the trappings of a material life, the commute, the mobile phone, the brands, and have gravitated to this stretch of busy road as many gravitate to a simple life of mendicancy next to Mother Ganges? I doubt that we will ever know and I doubt that the streams of tourists that struggle past on Piazza dei Cinquecento will ever care or remember, except to perhaps comment once or twice in mock horror over pizza before moving on. The ladies appear to be able to look after themselves, to a degree, within some sort of fuzzy context. Give them a small allotment, a hut in the mountains, for surely they would prefer ‘monte’ to ‘mare’ in the summertime and I am sure that they would survive just fine, with even the most basic amenities and perhaps a bread oven. As I said earlier, I have tried to communicate with them and I have failed. I wondered if there maybe any other regular readers of Wanted in Rome that may have noticed these two old ladies and if so if anyone has the heart to give even the basic consideration to what might be done to help. I am willing to help, I have no limit on time for this and limited but some resource otherwise if appropriate, and welcome any suggestions at the address given below. With kind regards, Ralph Holland
