TAKING TRAM NUMBER 3

he Guinness Book of Records doesn't have an entry for the world's most historic tram route but if it did Rome’s tram number 3, affectionately known to Romans as la circolare, could be it – although, pending completion of metro C, the tram is temporarily a bus. Etruscan temples at one terminus (inside Villa Giulia just beyond Piazza Thorvaldsen) and Trastevere station at the other, the 40-minute ride offers sites straddling two and a half millennia. And yet local guidebooks do not give it a mention. More famous is bus 64 from Termini to S. Pietro. Or infamous – with smells you could peel, overworked elbows and the occasional pickpocket. Taking number 3 tram (or bus) is a secret worth knowing. Wonder number one is that for the cost of a one-euro ticket you can generally get a seat. Wonder number two, the tram rattles you at 1950s pace round the much more peaceful and arguably just as scenic back of the city, crossing areas which, in their stampede for the Vatican, visitors rarely get to see. The Colosseum, yes, is also on the route – or at least its rear end. Further up are two of Rome’s seven basilicas, S. Croce in Gerusalemme and S. Giovanni in Laterano. The third wonder is that the service is incredibly regular, running about every ten minutes. Hop aboard in Piazza Thorvaldsen. Off left is the grand, distinctly unmodernist looking frontage of the Galleria d’Arte Moderna. Off right stretches Villa Borghese. Here, as in the Via Aldrovandi alongside, Rome is at its greenest – and also flecked pink and purple by bougainvillea before a verdant swerve into Viale Rossini which segues into the equally swish Viale Liegi, whose plane trees resist the smogs of yesteryear. Upmarket bars, solariums, banks, pet shops and the odd embassy set the tone of alta borghesia. Adjacent to the octagonal Piazza Buenos Aires is the art nouveau Coppedè district. Stop-starting, start-stopping, sometimes seeming to go backwards, the tram tinkles and whirrs along Viale Regina Margherita, named after Italy’s first queen. “Policlinico!” calls out the driver. Then La Sapienza, Rome’s main university. Plane trees taper into the self-same pines once set to music by Respighi, then timeless cypresses at the Verano cemetery. Eyes left and there is Via Tiburtina down which, on Vespasian’s orders, blocks of travertine once trundled from the Tivoli quarries on their way to build the Colosseum, the ancient road being widened for the purpose. A veer brings you to the more down-to-earth S. Lorenzo district before reaching Porta Maggiore. Less a square than a hub of ages, epochs crisscross as flyover, Lazio’s trenino and Termini’s train-lines meet Claudian aqueduct and Aurelian wall. Below the central arch note the tomb of Eurysaces. Emperors, kings, generals all have their monuments; why not someone whose labour never killed anybody? Yes, even – or especially – bakers deserve their crust of fame. Trajan’s monument may commemorate the pacification of Dacia, one military action after another; Eurysaces’ is a facsimile of his oven complete with stoke-holes and a frieze showing the stages of making bread. Up from the old Eleniana power station, the route next takes in S. Croce in Gerusalemme, its façade a flow of travertine in the tradition of Borromini. Above, beside the Evangelists, perch St Helena and her son Constantine, while a chapel deep below houses a fragment of the True Cross Helena brought back from the Holy Land. Nearby, the Aurelian wall develops a bulge, another example of “architectural incorporation” with which Rome abounds. A newer structure, here the Aurelian wall, last line of defence against the Barbarians (271-275 AD), meets an older one, Anfiteatro Castrense’s more elegant brick columns and peristyles (218-222) and rather than destroying it, embraces it in structural welcome. Such are the remains of Rome’s only other amphitheatre Wanted in Rome 14 Sept 2011

Look out for the tomb of Eurysaces the baker at Porta Maggiore.

besides the Colosseum, built as a sort of monumental PlayStation for boy emperor Heliogabalus. Its 3,500 seats have long vanished, as have two storeys knocked down in the 1500s. Down the road is the basilica of S. Giovanni. Off Viale Manzoni, meanwhile, at the other end of history, is Via Tasso’s Museo della Liberazione. Two upper floors contain, disturbingly intact, the prison cells abandoned during the nazi retreat in 1944. Scratched into the walls are the last words of the victims; in one case the final communication was sewn into an otherwise nondescript sock. On the opposite side of Viale Manzoni behind high walls lie the lush gardens of Villa Wolkonsky, still containing many plants introduced by the Russian princess Zenaïde Wolkonsky in the 1830s. It was the German embassy from 1920 until the 1944 liberation of Rome, and scene of the kidnapping of Princess Mafalda of Italy in 1943; ironically it is now the residence of the British ambassador. Further accelerating back through time, next site is the Colle Oppio, a good part of which coincides with Nero’s Domus Aurea and later a gladiatorial school with underground tunnel into the Colosseum. Then up – or around – another hill, the Celio. Below the lofty dome of S. Giovanni e Paolo is not one church but three; beneath these is a now miraculously floodlit domus/museum complete with Roman wall paintings. Then on into the valley of the Aventino. Look right and you might imagine Ben Hur hurtling faster than light around the Circo Massimo, the Palatine towering like a grandstand alongside. The Piramide is a tomb to magistrate Caius Cestius, itself bordering the Non-Catholic Cemetery, final home to Keats, Goethe’s son, Gregory Corso and, as celebrated in Pasolini’s Le Ceneri di Gramsci, Antonio Gramsci. The route of tram number 3 began with a boulevard and so it ends with one – Viale Trastevere, plane trees again castling the air. Last stop is Trastevere railway station. Across the car-ridden square snuggles Bar Baffo, a corner building which seems to have mislaid its street. Before daybreak, its orange lighting and the pitch-black trees next door typecast it for a Magritte painting. Inside is part toy shop, part Aladdin’s cave: figurines and knick-knacks, lottery cards, a gamut of tobaccos, sweets, chewing gums – all in immaculate, technicoloured order. And the “Baffo”? It’s there in the photo of the moustachioed founder displayed above the till. Not just a place for a tea or coffee: here is a snug microcosm in which you can await the number 3 to pull up outside and take you in the opposite direction, past the sites missed on the eastward journey.

NICHOLAS GREEN t the end of September 1994 a seven-year old American boy, Nicholas Green (9 Sept 1987 – 1 Oct 1994), was shot and killed in an attempted automobile robbery on the autostrada in Calabria. Following the tragic event his parents decided to donate his organs; five people received his major organs and two received a cornea transplant. His parents’ decision is credited with changing the attitude to organ donation and transplants in Italy, a subject which had previously been looked on with suspicion and fear. Nicholas, his sister, Eleanor, and their parents, Margaret and Reginald, had been on holiday in Calabria when their car was attacked on the A3 motorway between Salerno and Reggio Calabria on the night of 29 September by two armed men who fired into the rear seat shooting Nicholas in the head. As the local hospital was not equipped to deal with the boy’s injuries the family was transferred immediately to a special head injuries unit in Messina, but Nicholas died the next day. The result of his parents' decision is described as “The Nicholas Effect” (L’Effetto Nicholas), and refers not only to the issue of organ donation but also to the goodwill that emerged from the tragedy. We corresponded with Nicholas’s father Reginald by email, asking him about the effects of the tragedy on the family.

Q: It's 17 years since your son, Nicholas, was shot dead. As well as the terrible anguish of losing your son, what are your feelings in relation to the tragic event today? A: I think of Nicholas several times a day and always with a feeling of an irreparable loss. Never to go out for a walk with him again. Never to hear him say “Goodnight, Daddy.” It is a constant surprise to me, however, that after so many years so many people around the world – including millions of Italians – also still remember him. Many Italians I meet feel they know him. Many call him ‘piccolo Nicholas’ as though he was part of their family. Q: The tragedy happened in a foreign country, Italy, where your son was shot dead by two Italian gunmen. What made you decide to donate Nicholas's organs and save the life of other Italians? A: Maggie and I never thought Italy pulled the trigger. It was clear to us from the beginning that the Italian people would have done anything in their power to have prevented this from happening. It could have happened anywhere. When we looked at him on that last day, it was clear to us that he didn’t need his body anymore. We knew, however, that other people did need – desperately – what that body could give, though it was impossible to imagine who they were or what they looked like. Q: During those terrible days what was the reaction of the people next to you: doctors, police, Italian civil society, ordinary people? A: We were overwhelmed by the sympathy of strangers. At one end, were the people who came to the hotel to leave toys for our four-year-old daughter Eleanor or comforting letters for us and, at the other, President Scalfaro, who asked us to go and see him and who spoke to us, gently and understandingly, like an old friend of the family. The police were attentive and efficient, making an arrest within a few weeks, and the transplant teams were world-class, as the success of all the operations shows. The media as a whole were responsible throughout and determined to try to find out the truth of what they were told, both of which, as a former newspaperman, I was very pleased to see. Q: Did you receive any form of solidarity and – if so – of what kind? A: I doubt that any other country in the world would have shown such solidarity as Italy did for us. It was as though the whole country wanted to puts its arms around us. But it is wider than Italy. To this day we still receive emails from people around the world who say the story has given them hope of a better world. Q: When and how did you realise the effect that your decision had on Italy? A: Within a few days, the numbers signing organ donor cards tripled so we could see there had been an explosive effect. But we knew the real test would come later when people had to make a decision after a loved one had died, not just sign a piece of paper. Amazingly, organ donation rates have more than quadrupled since then so that thousands of people are now alive who would have died. No other country in the world has Wanted in Rome 14 Sept 2011

come close to that rate of increase. From having almost the lowest donation rates in western Europe, Italy has become one of the highest. Obviously an increase like that must have multiple causes, including an army of dedicated volunteers and health care professionals. But it seems clear that one small boy’s story was the catalyst that changed the thinking of an entire nation. Q: Have you ever met the people that received Nicholas’s organs and, if so, are you still in touch with them? A: We have met all of them several times. We have lost touch with two of them but the other five are in good health and spirits. The children have become men and women and the grown-ups have lived their lives like the rest of us. Yet without a transplant, two would be blind and most, if not all, the others would be dead. Q: Have you ever been back to Italy since? A: I estimate I have been back 40 times, meeting and encouraging volunteers, many of them from Aido (the Italian association for organ donation – Associazione Italiana per la Donazione di Organi, Tessuti e Cellule, www.aido.it), visiting hospitals and schools, talking to politicians and reminding anyone who will listen that a simple decision can save multiple lives. Q: You have suffered a pain a human being should never suffer, the loss of a son. Has the decision to donate Nicholas’s organs helped you during this terrible sufferance? If so, how? A: It has not taken the pain away. But more good has come out of it than we could ever have imagined. Until that moment when Maggie said to me, “Shouldn’t we donate his organs?” I could see no good in it at all, just bleakness. Now we know thousands of families have been saved from devastation. Q: Have you forgiven the criminals who killed your son? A: They still deny they killed him. Without repentance, what can one say? I can only add that I have never been angry about it. Instead, thinking about it gives me a feeling of deep depression that anyone would want something so badly that they would tear someone else’s life apart to get it. Q: Can you describe your life today and how different you think it would have been had Nicholas still been alive? A: I still feel I am the same person I have always been – making the same mistakes, enjoying the same pleasures, believing in the same things. But all the externals are different. I spend my entire working day on organ donation – writing newspaper articles, making DVDs, serving on committees, giving speeches around the world. I have written two books The Nicholas Effect and The Gift that Heals, (www.authorhouse.com) both of which have become classics in their field. We have also had twins, Laura and Martin, since Nicholas was killed, who are now 15 and very good high school students. Eleanor has just graduated with a good degree from college. And as always, Maggie keeps it all together. Marco Venturini 5

LAWYERS FOR A CAUSE: UNIDROIT Inside the doors of Villa Aldobrandini in central Rome, the lawyers at Unidroit draft important international legislation ontinuing our focus on little-known intergovernmental organisations (IGOs) in Rome, we turn the spotlight on Unidroit, the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law, perhaps the grandfather of them all. Since it was established in 1926 as an auxiliary to the League of Nations, all the legal instruments prepared by Unidroit have helped provide guidelines to governments and regional organisations when contemplating and preparing national or regional legislation. How would one go about getting its 63 member states with diverse legal systems and cultures to agree on anything, let alone a uniform approach to any given legal instrument? Over the years, Unidroit has skilfully refined the process: it begins with an identified need and goes on to setting up a study group, the membership of which is determined according to technical expertise in the subject matter. The group expresses itself independently of any governmental allegiance. Once the study group has thoroughly explored the issue and produced its recommendations in the form of a preliminary draft instrument, then – subject to Unidroit’s governing council giving the go-ahead and depending on the project – a committee of governmental experts will be convened to make a preliminary draft acceptable to all. After that (again subject to governing council approval), a Unidroit member state will host a final diplomatic conference for the adoption of what is by now a draft instrument. Once the instrument, normally a convention, has been adopted by the diplomatic conference, each country must decide whether or not to ratify or accede to that instrument (not all of them ever do) and thus, once a certain minimum threshold of ratifications/accessions has been secured, bring it into force for its country. This careful procedure tends to take a decade, give or take a year or two, as for instance the 1995 Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects, which took nine years from start to finish. In some cases, the timeframe can be much shorter, as with the 2008 Model Law on Leasing, which took a mere three years from start to finish because Unidroit was able to count on the services of a network of experts built up over a prior project. Occasionally the process fails dismally due to hostility from stakeholder lobbies. Clearly diplomatic negotiating skills are crucial in Unidroit’s work. Like most IGOs, Unidroit has a three-tier governance structure: a general assembly of its 63 member states, a governing council and a secretariat to implement the programme. The current secretary-general is José Angelo Estrella Faria of Brazil. The institute also has a president appointed by the host country – Professor Alberto Mazzoni, an eminent Italian jurist who helps guide its activities. The full-time staff numbers 16, about half of these being lawyers from various countries. There are a few additional consultants, some of whom are paid out of extra-budgetary funds, since Unidroit’s budget is as tight as that of other IGOs. One accomplishment of which Unidroit is justly proud is its Principles of International Commercial Contracts, now in its third edition. While not binding in the way of a convention, the principles are widely used the world over, whether by way of incorporation as the parties’ contract or in arbitration, and have served as a template for national and international legislation in various parts of the world. Both the Principles and Unidroit’s conventions have a trickle-down effect that cannot be underestimated.

Wanted in Rome 14 Sept 2011

One of Unidroit’s current projects will certainly have far-reaching implications: the proposed protocol to the Cape Town convention on Matters Specific to Space Assets. While governments have long used outer space for scientific research (eg the Hubble telescope) or for military purposes, inner space has vast commercial potential, and needs consensus on how it should be regulated. We’re all familiar with global navigating systems, which exploit emerging satellite technology. The same concept works for many people in developing countries who can now do their banking through mobile phones; “telemedicine” likewise reaches patients in remote areas. People can access weather forecasts and take shelter in time from imminent natural disasters. Archaeologists benefit from aerial views of terrain that indicates potential finds. The ramifications are endless, and Unidroit is working to sort it all out among the key players. This brief portrait of Unidroit would not be complete without mentioning its library, which has become a stellar resource in Europe and beyond. It now has holdings of some 260,000 volumes and regular subscriptions to 450 journals, including those of major law schools around the world. It also has a unique collection, donated by the distinguished Italian jurist Gino Gorla, of historic volumes on Italian law, plus, naturally, all its own documents and publications. Access to the library is given upon written request, and its holdings must be consulted on site. The catalogue, however, is available on line. Interns and researchers are welcomed at Unidroit for short periods, sometimes becoming involved in the work at hand. Some scholarships are available for that purpose. The men and women at Unidroit working for an important cause are a refreshing, even inspiring exception to the negative stereotype of ambulance-chasing lawyers or grasping consultants.

The Unidroit library houses a unique library of legal documents known the world over.

The festival pervades both cities with performances in squares, museums, theatres, concert halls and non-traditional stages, with a wideranging programme of musical genres: classical, pop, jazz, world music, avant-garde and beyond. The festival has commissioned pieces by some of the greatest living composers to be showcased in world premieres in both cities.

This year’s edition features new works by Harrison Birtwistle (UK), Pascal Dusapin (France), Michael Daugherty (USA), Toshio Hosokawa (Japan), Guo Wenjing (China), Louis Andriessen (Netherlands) and Arvo Pärt (Estonia).

TURIN TORINODANZA 2011 5 Sept-4 Dec In presenting their successful dance festival organisers reveal that they have embarked on their most visionary programming yet in their search for what they call an ethical and aesthetic centre of gravity for the festival against a socially and politically worrying global backdrop. The programme features the likes of Bartabas with his Le centaure et l’animal, an original encounter between the creator of gypsy equestrian theatre and Ko Murobushi, the great Japanese Butoh artist. Among the returning artists are Philippe Decouflé, Emio Greco and Maguy Marin – remarkable for their capacity to evoke light and life out of darkness and tell a tale that is at once “unconstrained, political and visionary”. This edition of the festival also gives space to the contemporary circus seen as a workshop for visionary expression. The festival ends its explorations with Karine Saporta’s La Princesse de Milan, based on Shakespeare’s The Tempest, and with Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s prototype of pure dance. Finally special emphasis is given to the section comprising the “Italian Dance Platform (13-16 Oct), which is an opportunity to see contemporary Italian choreography and is also a joint venture with other dance associations and companies of the Piedmont region. For booking and information www.torinodanzafestival.it.

PARMA FESTIVAL VERDI 1-28 Oct Internationally renowned opera festival celebrating the composer in his native Parma to coincide with the month of his birth. This year is special because Italy is celebrating the 150th anniversary of its unification, and perhaps Verdi's music more than any other has the emotion and patriotic sentiment emblematic of a nation proud to celebrate its history and its roots. The operas chosen to be performed this year are Un ballo in maschera, Falstaff, Aida as well as the much-loved Requiem Mass. The programme includes conferences, exhibitions and readings from literary masterpieces that have inspired opera librettos. The festival is set in the theatres, opera houses and other locations in Parma and in Verdi territory. For booking and information tel. 0521039393, www.teatroregioparma.org.

VENICE BIENNALE MUSIC 55th International Festival of Contemporary Music 24 Sept-1 Oct 76 composers, more than 80 works, 27 of them new, over 20 events including concerts, installations, audio-visual performances, workshops and meetings, concentrated in an eight-day programme make up this festival. The title this year is Mutanti and it is again directed by Luca Francesconi who points out that we are “witnessing a sort of genetic mutation of western culture, of our tradition”. “We live in a world – Francesconi says – that makes not only thought, exploration and effort, but pencil and paper, practice and crafting as well, seem anachronistic. Now that everything is available at the click of a mouse, the temptation of erasing our memory is becoming increasingly evident. The 2011 Music Biennale talks about mutants, about something that is ending, at least in the form familiar to us now, to become something else.” Along with the winner of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement – composer and conductor Peter Eotvos this year – the festival turns its spotlight on the musical tradition of Hungary, on young orchestral formations, on new directions in research and new figures on the international music scene.

DANCE NAPLES KOREA NATIONAL BALLET 12, 13 Oct In Prince Hodong South Korea appears to be riding the wave of an unprecedented ballet boom and has just hosted the first government-led ballet festival. The ballet scene in the nation has blossomed recently with many Korean-born ballet dancers starring in overseas competitions and a February sell-out staging of Giselle by the Korea National Ballet. The ballet Prince Hodong, sponsored by the ministry of culture, sports, and tourism as a part of the “Nation Branding” project, is an original work based on a traditional tale, The Princess Nakrang and The Prince Hodong. It was choreographed in 1981 by Sung-nam Lim the first artist director of the Korean National Ballet. Although there have been many dances based on Korean literature over the last 50 years, this work is considered particularly significant because the plot touches on the themes of nation, war, love, betrayal, and death, and it is a good example of the way in which Korea is combining western artistic style with the country's traditions.

The dancers are from Tunisia, Mali, Algeria, South Africa and Madagascar. The goal of the project is to enable African pioneers of contemporary dance to get in touch with the best talents of the new generation, in a prestigious place like the Villa Medici, to work together, discuss and reflect on choreographic creation. At the end of this residence, the eight artists are showing the result of their work in performances hosted by the Teatro Quirino, Via delle Vergini 7, tel. 066785802. 19 Sept.

ACADEMIES JIRI AND OTTO BUBENICEK 11 Oct In Le Souffle de l´Esprit, Toccata and The picture of Dorian Gray. The Czech choreographer and dancer Jiri Bubenicek has created a number of ballets since his first in 1999, but he isn’t especially well-known as a choreographer outside his native Prague. He has, however, achieved a reputation as a superb classical dancer, first with the Hamburg Ballet, and then at the Dresden SemperOper, where he is currently a principal. That reputation has been magnified by the fact that he has an identical twin: Otto, an equally admired principal with the Hamburg Ballet, who frequently composes music for his brother’s pieces. This Rome performance offers the audience the chance to watch the celebrated twins, perfect in their sameness and splendid masculinity, in a gala evening during which they present their own creations as well as introducing nine other dancers from leading Hamburg, Zurich, Dresden and Vienna ballet companies.

TURIN PHILIPPE DECOUFLE 21-23 Sept In Octopus, conceived and choreographed by Philippe Decouflé. Decouflé is a catalyst of many influences from pop culture and never afraid to remove dance from its realm of perfection. He is especially known for his tendency to string together sequences in which the world of circus, dance and image merge. At a time in which – he says – it is fashionable to focus on ugliness, in Octopus Decouflé pays tribute to beauty. He is fascinated by bodies and their erotic aura and this work has references both to cabaret and to poetry. Octopus has eight tentacles, eight choreographic scenes in black and white which refer to love, nakedness and beauty. Teatro Regio, tel. 0118815241, www.teatroregio.torino.it.

OPERA OPERA NOTES Paolo Di Nicola chooses two unusual works this month – Donizetti’s opera Gemma di Vergy at the music Bergamo music festival from 16-18 Sept and Pergolesi’s Lo frate ‘nnamorato at the Jesi festival. Il Bergamo Musica Festival 2011 si apre con Gemma di Vergy (16 e 18 settembre) di Gaetano Donizetti, una storia dalle tinte fosche e drammatiche: la contessa Gemma di Vergy è ripudiata perché sterile e spinge il giovane schiavo arabo Tamas, di lei perdutamente innamorato, a vendicarla, uccidendole il marito che sta per sposare Ida de Greville. Gemma è un personaggio complesso, che oscilla tra folle rabbia e amoroso abbandono, alternando un canto veemente e vocalizzato a un altro più disteso e melodico; la prima interprete, nel 1834 alla Scala di Milano, fu Giuseppina Ronzi De Begnis: uno dei migliori soprani dell’epoca, molto apprezzato da Donizetti. In queste recite bergamasche Gemma sarà Maria Agresta, un giovane soprano che la scorsa estate stupì cantando Attila di Verdi a Macerata, confermando poi le buone impressioni dell’esordio affrontando in primavera Elena nei Vespri Siciliani di Verdi al Teatro Regio di Torino. Con lei il veterano tenore belcantista Gregory Kunde (Tamas), il baritono Mario Cassi (Conte di Vergy), il mezzosoprano Kremena Dilcheva (Ida di Greville), il direttore Roberto Rizzi Brignoli e il regista Laurent Gerber. www.teatrodonizetti.it. La 44a stagione lirica di tradizione del Teatro Pergolesi di Jesi si inaugura con Lo frate ‘nnamorato di Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (30 settembre e 2 ottobre), che andò in scena a Napoli nel 1732; racconta dei raggiri orditi per combinare tre diversi matrimoni, senza però che nessuno giunga a reale compimento, tranne quello di Luggrezia e Ascanio che non era stato stabilito in anticipo. Questa storia “è un pretesto – diceva Francesco Degrada, uno dei massimi studiosi di Pergolesi – per delineare una serie di situazioni e di quadri d’ambiente colti con grande penetrazione psicologica e con tenerissimo affetto”, raccontati con una musica, ora allegra ora malinconica, che Pergolesi rielabora in maniera sofisticata e originale dalla musica popolare sentita per le strade di Napoli. Artefici di questa proposta jesina saranno il regista Willy Landin e il direttore Fabio Biondi, un esperto del teatro barocco e settecentesco, che guiderà il complesso orchestrale “Europa Galante” e diversi cantanti specialisti, tra cui Nicola Alaimo, Lucia Cirillo, Patrizia Biccirè, Barbara Di Castri e Laura Cherici. www.fondazionepergolesispontini.com.

It offers a sort of temporary “right of citizenship” to a whole community made up of actors, stage directors, performers, spectators, operators and scholars who are often denied visibility because of their experimental nature. The festival consists of drama performances, dance, music, debates and encounters focusing on new artistic idioms. Teatro India, Lungotevere Vittorio Gassman, tel. 0655300894.

6 September 2011, Rome

Dear Ralph Holland, I read your long letter in Wanted in Rome (3 August edition). I have been in Rome for almost half my life (40 years) and have seen the two ladies you mention (in Piazza del Cinquecento) for certainly a decade, if not more. Always in the same place. Someone told me their life story, but I don't remember who it was or what they said. Most annoying. I rang a friend who I thought it was, but sadly not. I do feel that we are all very different and not everyone wants a 9 to 5 job, or smart clothes/ holidays/houses. It definitely is their choice. I'm sure of that. I got to know a man who used to break up cardboard boxes on Lungotevere - Ponte Sisto. He explained to my young son (now 35) that he did it to get a little money to exist. For years he sheltered under the roof of the Cinema Farnese (Campo de’ Fiori). His supermarket trolley was always bursting with stuff he wanted to recycle but finally after months the owners of the cinema convinced the police to move him on. He went over the river to Trastevere where he remained until a couple of years ago when his sister from England turned up and took him back with her. He was, in fact, English we discovered later and my son aged about ten by then, was able to ask him why he slept in our local garden, or anywhere else. All he said was “I don't like windows or doors.” His name I discovered later, when he thought he had to go to hospital, was John Saunders. He saw my son in the piazza and sent him to fetch me, around 9pm. I went down convinced he was going to ask for money, instead he asked me to find a parking place for his supermarket trolley whilst he went to hospital, which I duly found. I always gave him two mince pies at Christmas. So you see the two old ladies are not the only ones. There is one solitary old lady who lived on the edge of the ghetto for many years. She was out in all weathers, would go off to get a cappuccino and cornetto and then came back to her collection of boxes covered with plastic. She has been moved round the corner and was still there a month ago. We do have Caritas etc. and many soup kitchens and I'm sure you are not the only one to have wondered/worried about them (the two ladies by the station – ed. note). What worries me is what will one do without the other when that moment comes, which it inevitably will. There just are no fixed answers to these questions, but one thing I am sure about is that the Italians are very human, the Romans hearts are in the right place, so I feel sure that they are safe there, till they need/ask for help.
