Margaret Stenhouse

Keats-Shelley House looks to the future

Curator Giuseppe Albano discusses his vision for the Keats-Shelley House

V

isitors who step into the quiet hall of the tall, narrow house at the side of the Spanish Steps are always stuck by the contrast with the noisy chaos of Piazza di Spagna. The peaceful atmosphere of the Keats-Shelley House shuts off the outside world and sets it apart as no ordinary museum. It is, most movingly, a shrine, containing the room where the young poet John Keats died and some 23,000 people come every year to pay their respects. The visitors’ book records famous visitors such as The Prince of Wales, Bono, Richard Gere, Jean Cocteau, Kevin Klein, P.D. James and British poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy (who visited in February), to mention just a few.

Giuseppe Albano, a soft-spoken Scots-Italian who took over as curator from Catherine Payling in November 2011, is very conscious of the unique character and atmosphere of the museum and has set about introducing his personal imprint with tact and discretion. Nonetheless, he has made a number of important changes to keep pace with the expectations of a 21st-

century public. The website has been redesigned and contains an audio visual walk through the museum to intrigue web surfers. The terrace leading off from the museum shop and looking onto the Spanish Steps has been restored, with seating provided and the back wall decorated with some of the two poets’ best loved quotes, and the museum area itself has been reorganised to give better access to the showcases.

“What you can see is only a part of the material the house possesses,” Albano explains. “We have a lot of stuff in storage. We do try to revolve our exhibits, but obviously there are some items that have to be kept permanently on display because people come from all over the world to see them.”

Albano worked in London with the Wallace Collection and the British Museum before taking up his present post.

He has, however, a particular fondness for his very first job after his Cambridge PhD and his post-doctorate research fellowship in Edinburgh as librarian at the exclusive international writers’ retreat at Hawthornden Castle near Edinburgh, former home of the 17th-century poet William Drummond of Hawthornden.

“I always wanted to return to work for a literary house museum,” he says.

And being half Italian made him especially enthusiastic about coming to Rome: “I’ve also always wanted to live in Italy. We spent our holidays in Basilicata with my dad’s family. We’d drive down every summer from Dundee. When the Keats-Shelley House trustees phoned me up to offer me the post, I couldn’t have been more delighted.

“What I like too about this job is that it’s very hands-on. In a big museum you’re only a figurehead. But in a small museum like this you have to look after everything, including calling the plumber if there’s a leak.”

Among his plans he says he would like to see it “more rooted in the Rome cultural scene.”

“We’d like to encourage more adult Italian visitors. One way to do this is to organise events in both Italian and English. Italians know about the English Ro-

mantic poets because they study them in school. Upon request, we open in the evenings for Italian cultural groups.”

The museum will also continue to encourage younger fans, with its everpopular annual poetry prize for school children between five and 18, in either English or Italian.

The past year’s cultural programme has reflected a more international trend, ranging from the eminent historian William Dalrymple speaking about The Last Mughal, Italian Giuseppe Sofo presenting his book L’Alba Radioattiva, the Visionary Flowers exhibition of art-works by American Nancy Watkins and the Duet video production with Ross Birrell’s music for two violas, played by musicians from Tel Aviv and Ramallah.

The poets and their tormented lives, however, continue to be the underlying leitmotif. The past year saw two plays

by Royal Academy poet Pele Cox – the highly successful Unbound about the Shelleys and Byron in Italy, and the poignant Lift me up for I am dying, which portrayed Keats’ tragic last weeks, both staged in the intimate atmosphere of the museum salon, as well as the film A Shape of Error by American director Abigail Child, based on the story of Shelley and his wife, Mary Godwin.

Women of the Romantic era star this autumn.

The mathematical genius Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace and Byron’s only legitimate daughter, is a classic example of brilliant but little-known 19th-century women. Dubbed “the mother of modern software”, her notes on the workings of a machine invented by Italian military engineer Luigi Menabrea are acclaimed as

“the first computer programme”, anticipating machine processing by over 150 years. Lovelace will be celebrated in the Keats-Shelley House on 27-28 September, in a theatrical production by prizewinning Italian dramatist Valeria Patera.

The play flanks the special exhibition Ladies in the Spotlight, which opens on 9 September and runs until 22 November. This focuses on Mary Shelley and the women connected with her, and features rare manuscripts on loan from the Bodleian library in Oxford, marking the first time that the museum has borrowed material from a major institution.

Future plans? “I’d like to set up a network of literary house museums like this in other countries, so we could foster exchange programmes and other initiatives,” Albano says. “We already collaborate closely, for instance, with the Goethe House in Rome, sharing guest speakers and so on.”

Keats-Shelley House, Piazza di Spagna 26, tel. 066784235, www.keats-shelley-house.org.

1. Keats lived the last few months of his life in lodging rooms in 26 Piazza di Spagna at the foot of the Spanish Steps, dying there on 23 February 1821 at the age of 25.

2. The house continued as lodgings until the beginning of the 20th century. One of its last occupants was the Swedish doctor and writer, Axel Munthe.

3. It was bought by a group of Romebased admirers of the Romantic poets at the end of 1906 thanks to funding from American and English benefactors and the support of President Roosevelt and King Edward VII and Italy’s king, Vittorio Emanuele III. 4. In 1909 the house was opened to the public as a memorial to Keats and Shelley. It now contains one of the world’s best collections of manuscripts, paintings, memorabilia and books on the Romantic period.

LEGAL AFFAIRS

Studio Legale Annino

Medical malpratice laws in Italy

A look at what constitutes medical liability in Italy

I

taly operates on a civil law system, which is based on Roman law. Civil law as a legal system is often compared with common law, which is used in most countries that can trace their heritage to Britain, including the United Kingdom, United States (except Louisiana), and Canada (except Quebec), and other former colonies of the British Empire. The main difference between the two systems is that civil law judgements are based on the interpretation of the civil code, which the judges must then apply in all cases, whereas common law judgements may be affected by the rulings in other cases. This difference explains why the civil law is usually defined as “professors’ law” and the common law “lawyers’ law”.

The differences between the two legal systems also influence the medical liability laws. For example, in the Italian civil law system a claim for medical malpractice is based on one element, which is personal injury sustained (lesioni personali colpose). In most common law systems, in order to claim successfully four legal elements have to be

11 September 2013 | Wanted in Rome

LEGAL AFFAIRS present: duty of care, breach of duty, injury and proximate cause. This theoretically makes damage claims for medical malpractice easier in Italy.

Not only is a medical practitioner liable in a civil court (tribunale civile), but also in a criminal court (tribunale penale). The Italian criminal code defines personal injury sustained as “an event which, even if unintentional, occurred due to negligence, imprudence, inexperience or failure to comply with laws, regulations, orders and disciplines� (art. 43, Italian criminal code).

Negligence (negligenza) consists of lack of care, reflected in the omission of necessary precautions. For example, when the surgeon leaves clips, instruments or gauze sponges in the surgical wound, operates on healthy limbs/ organs, does not control the date of the expiry of drugs or fails to provide necessary preliminary investigations.

Imprudence (imprudenza) consists of a given medical action without taking all the precautions that common experience suggests are necessary, for example if a surgeon performs complex and delicate surgery despite knowing that he is not in perfect physical condition, or without having the appropriate equipment, or performs particularly challenging surgery without having the capacity to do so.

Inexperience (imperizia) consists of inadequate training in activities which require specialised technical knowledge, and implies a deficiency of practice, intuition, capacity and observation. For example, when the doctor falls short of the minimum skills and technical expertise or in the misdiagnosis of a simple case.

Medicine is notorious in the legal world for its elements of uncertainty, complications or unpredictable reactions due to scientific progress, which make it difficult to grade the performance and results of medical practitioners. However, in the field of cosmetic surgery the patient willingly consents

6

Wanted in Rome | 11 September 2013

to a procedure where the practitioner is not under the duress of urgency or the necessity of disease.

Each year there are approximately 600,000 operations of cosmetic surgery in Italy. In the thriving and colourful market of plastic surgery the economic crisis does not seem to have had an impact. The pursuit of beauty and the continuous struggle against the signs of ageing, if anything, have led to more advertising of aesthetic operations.

As the desire to turn to the scalpel for solutions has increased, so too have accompanying claims for damages and unsuccessful operations (malpractice).

In Italy no specialisation is required to operate in the cosmetic surgery sector: a generic degree in medicine and surgery is sufficient. In a sector of medicine that offers higher earnings, the risk of attracting inexperienced medical practitioners is great. This, together with the availability of black market products

LEGAL AFFAIRS

side notes 1. Law in Italy operates under the civil law system rather than the common law as in the United Kingdom and United States.

2. Claims for medical malpractice in Italy are based on the personal injury sustained (lesioni personali colpose) and can be brought in both civil and criminal courts. such a collagen, botulinum toxin (commercially known as Botox), hyaluronic acid and prosthetic implants, places cosmetic surgery patients at risk. It is therefore important that patients choose a cosmetic surgeon with great caution.

In the sector of cosmetic/aesthetic surgery the notion of medical liability is elevated because the patient requests a specific procedure with specific results to which they consent. In order for a patient to give their consent by law they have to be fully informed of the nature of the procedure. This requires, of course, that the patient be made aware of all aspects both medical and surgical: the surgical techniques used, the type of operation, the prosthesis that may be used, products administered before, during and after the operation, the results obtained and the foreseeable risks.

If a procedure does not produce the desired result, the lack of information given by the medical practitioner, or incomplete or false information, immediately constitutes a civil and criminal liability on the part of the practitioner.

The legal implications can be very serious for the surgeons and make them liable to compensation for all damages suffered.

Damages payable may be summarised into the following categories: patrimonial damages (in other words

damages to your assets, i.e. your body), biological/aesthetic damages, moral damages and psychological suffering.

Because there is a professional relationship between the surgeon and the facility or hospital where the procedure is performed, a recent Supreme Court ruling held both the surgeon and the medical facility in which an unsuccessful procedure was carried out liable for the damages suffered by the patient.

The statute of limitations in Italy allows for patients to make claims for medical malpractice up to ten years after they occurred, unlike most common law countries, where this is limited to five years. www.annino-lawfirm.com Future topics will cover inheritance, insurance and accidents.

Bottled or from the tap?

Bottled water in Italy is big business but there is nothing wrong with Rome’s tap water

W

hile sitting down at a local trattoria in the charming Trastevere neighbourhood on a hot summer day, I ordered a bottle of local Frascati wine to accompany my food. But to quench my thirst after a long day touring I also asked for a carafe of Rome’s fine water, from the tap.

Water from the tap in Rome is affectionately known by locals as l’acqua del sindaco (the mayor’s water). The waiter however immediately replied, “The water from the tap is not good.”

My dining companion, who was born and raised in Rome and has drunk tap water all his life, responded in his thick Roman accent, demanding tap water.

His insistence on drinking the “mayor’s water” was not for economic reasons, but rather his environmental concern and belief that the price he pays for a bottle of water is a serious cost to the environment and one that provides great economic benefits to the industries behind the packaging (glass and plastic), transport and sale of mineral water. He points out that when you buy a bottle of mineral water you are paying for the energy involved in produc-

One of Rome’s ubiquitous nasoni water fountains.

ing and packing the bottles, transporting them and refrigerating them, while Rome’s tap water is healthy and safe.

One of the industries behind the promotion of mineral water however is in fact the restaurants. By law, restaurants must have running tap water otherwise they could be shut down by the health department, and by law, the restaurant is obliged to serve tap water if you ask for it. But at a profit of more than 300 per cent per bottle, many restaurants don’t willingly serve tap water.

Most restaurants buy bottled mineral water in bulk, in cases of 12 bottles, at

an average price of 60 cents per onelitre bottle. The price they charge consumers is between €2 and €4 per onelitre bottle.

A representative from the historic Roberto e Loretta restaurant in the S. Giovanni district claimed that while the restaurant does serve tap water if customers ask, the local and esteemed clientele wouldn’t be so bold as to do so.

“It is not part of our culture to drink tap water in a restaurant, even if we drink it at home,” he said. This unfortunately exemplifies Italians’ concern for image over that for the environment.

The Marmore waterfalls near Terni in Umbria.

Another Italian resident in Rome, Massimo Betello, said that the habit of drinking bottled water has a lot to do with the bella figura. “When you go out to eat with friends or on a romantic date, you are supposed to be relaxed and not showing a concern for money or an unusual attitude toward water.

Thus the consumption of bottled water has a lot to do with behaviour dictated by social pressure.” Betello however is an environmentalist and prefers tap water to bottled water because he doesn’t like the waste of plastic bottles and the pollution involved with the transportation of the bottles. In fact, 85 per cent of bottled water is transported by truck, meaning that water coming from the Alps travels 1,000 km to reach Puglia.

Even when water is sold in glass bottles, the impact on the environment is almost as dire: glass requires huge amounts of energy to produce, and the extra weight impacts heavily on transport (and therefore fuel) costs.

The two aforementioned Rome residents are not the only ones supporting the idea that bottled mineral water is bad for the environment. In honour of World Water Day, coordinated by UNESCO and celebrated annually on 22 March, two environmental agencies, Legambiente and Altreconomia, teamed up to write a dossier explaining the

10

Wanted in Rome | 11 September 2013

environmental damages of excessive consumption of bottled water while promoting an awareness campaign called “Imbrocciamola”, stating that tap water is good, cheap, controlled, and does not pollute.

According to their report, the bottled water industry in Italy is worth €2.25 billion and involves 169 companies with 304 different commercial brands.

The report further states that bottled water companies produce more than six billion plastic bottles, using 456,000 tons of oil and producing 1.2 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. This

means that bottled water generates an economic mechanism that yields large profits for the bottling companies, leads to enormous consumption of resources for the country, and generates pollution and waste.

At least one enterprising brand is advertising “0 km” water, meaning that although it still needs bottling, at least it is not trucked in from distant springs.

Recent statistics show that Italians are the largest consumers of bottled water in Europe. Perhaps it is the taste for the bubbles that makes Italians prefer bottled to tap. Luckily for Rome

NATURAL RESOURCES residents, fizzy water or acqua frizzante can be enjoyed directly from the spring at the Appia Antica Park. The Egeria spring is open to the public as part of an environmental campaign called “0 km”, designed to promote local resources.

At the park, residents and tourists can fill bottles and tanks directly from the spring at a modest cost of 8 cents per litre, choosing between naturally effervescent, sparkling and light water. The park is open Mon 08.00-19.00, and SatSun 08.00-18.30.

Several villages around the country have also set up free public taps for both still and fizzy water, in a campaign to reduce the number of plastic (or glass) bottles finishing up in the municipal waste collection.

Not to be ignored are the famous nasoni or drinking fountains that are ubiquitous in the city centre. There are 280 of these fountains around downtown Rome, celebrating the city’s ancient water legacy and providing water from various springs such as around the Aniene valley and Tivoli. More than half of the tap water in Rome comes from the Peschiera and Capore springs in the Velino river valley in the province of Rieti, where it is then mixed in a hydraulic plant in Salisano.

Water is a theme throughout Roman history as the city has been renowned for its hydraulic engineering for over 2,000 years. The ancient Roman aqueducts, engineering masterpieces whose remains can still be seen around the city, supplied an abundance of fresh water to over a million residents in the empire’s capital. The renaissance and baroque periods in Rome were defined by the construction of monumental decorative fountains celebrating numerous pure water sources that are still admired by tourists and locals alike. It is a wonder then that Italians are so keen on their bottled water, a business yielding tempting profits for bottling companies when there is so much excellent water free out of the tap.

People can stock up on free water from the Egeria spring in the Appia Antica park.

side notes There are three types of bottled water: naturale (or liscia), leggermente frizzante (often referred to just as leggermente) and frizzante.

A few of the brand names in Italy are: Acqua Panna, which is still, and claims to be good for babies and the old.

Ferrarelle, which the advertising tells us is leggermente frizzante.

Acqua di Nepi which comes from springs outside Nepi north of Rome.

S. Pellegrino (responsible for Acqua Panna and other bottled drinks as well).

Almost every village has its own source of natural water, which provides the mains water supply through the aqueduct and is almost always available at drinking fountains throughout the village.

THE 1970S. ART IN ROME 11 October-02 February The work of some 80 Italian and international artists is united in an exhibition celebrating art that was either produced or shown in Rome during the 1970s, a decade that was synonymous in Italy with artistic experimentation and political conflict. The show explores the work of artists that best represent the Rome art scene of that decade, incorporating a variety of schools and styles by artists who were active in movements from Arte Povera to conceptual, minimalist, analytical and narrative art. Among the best known Rome artists in the show are Burri, De Chirico, Twombly, Ontani, Cucchi and Ceccobelli, some of whose work appeared as Wanted in Rome covers in the past. The exhibition also showcases international artists who spent time in Rome during the 1970s, such as Beuys, LeWitt, Gilbert & George and Woodman.

DIGITAL LIFE 10 October-10 December For Romaeuropa festival. Under the title Liquid Landscapes, Digital Life is the technological hub of the Romaeuropa festival and is now in its fourth year. The 27 works on display include multimedia and sound installations, inter-active works and encounters, in a journey where the common denominator is landscape. The exhibition is divided between MAXXI, Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI secolo, which hosts an interactive installation

by Daniele Puppi, and MACRO Testaccio which exhibits two sections: The World You Know, focusing on the city and how it evolves, and The World You Own, highlighting how landscapes are reshaped by technology. Both categories at MACRO feature the work of Italian and international artists whose work examines how people and nature have shaped diverse cities and natural environments, such as New York, Israel, Chernobyl, Latin America and Shanghai. For more details see Roma-europa website, www.romaeuropa.net.

MARCEL DUCHAMP 08 October-19 January The Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna (GNAM) presents 14 “readymades” by Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) on the centenary of the creation of Bicycle Wheel, the first readymade by the French painter and sculptor. The series was donated to the gallery in 1997 by art critic Arturo Schwarz, and is accompanied in the exhibition by a selection of works and archival documents, fundamental to understanding Duchamp’s artistic journey. In addition to the readymades, the exhibition highlights the influence that Duchamp had on the Italian art scene when, following solo shows in Milan and Rome in the mid1960s, he interacted with a younger generation of Italian artists such as Baj, Baruchello, Dangelo and Patella whose works are included in this exhibition.

The exhibition examines the influences the French artist had on the careers of a number of Italian artists such as Boccioni, Morandi, Afro, Scialoja and Pirandello.

VEDUTISTI INGLESI A ROMA TRA IL XVIII E IL XIX SECOLO 21 April-15 September What did Rome and its outskirts look like before photography, air travel, tarmac and the all-too-present motorcar?

Museo di Roma provides a delightful answer. Two specially air-conditioned rooms lay on a Grand Tour, courtesy of the so-called vedutisti including the likes of John Ruskin, Samuel Prout and Edward Lear.

Donated from two collections (that of Baron Lemmermann and Anna Letizia Pesci Blunt) these watercolours and engravings in the museum’s collection also offer the fascination of a game of “Spot the difference”.

In Joshua Dolby’s depiction of Porta Maggiore, today’s rattling trams and fretful commuters are replaced by peasant women with paniers and giant wine-flasks being overseen by a tallhatted gendarme.

Samuel Prout depicts a Forum filled with laundry, the pillars of this or that temple serving as a washing line. The “painter of water-colours to George IV and then Queen Victoria” was once up there with William Turner; so much so that Ruskin ventured: “Sometimes I tire of Turner, but never of Prout.” Prout’s Temple of Vespasian is proof that Ruskin was not altogether exaggerating, the picture incorporating “the truest and happiest association of sun and shade” (Ruskin again).

Even more forgotten is Edward Edwards’ Colosseum (1802), the building’s lower tiers still deep below ground.

Here the closest anything gets to traffic is a solitary mule and muleteer.

Meanwhile courtesy of William Richardson we can watch the once mighty Tiber (1830), before it was tamed by Garibaldi’s embankment. Boats are in abundance at Castel S. Angelo.

The exhibition’s star, however, must be Ruskin and his two views of the Corso, drawings carrying both the precision of detail and also the light effects worthy of a painting several times the size.

Another picture, of the fountain of Piazza S. Maria del Pianto, features more washing, but above massive Latin lettering. Today the fountain in the foreground is no longer there, nor is the washing, and the square has a different name – Piazza delle Cinque Scole in the Jewish quarter. Otherwise the scene is astonishingly similar.

The game of Spot the Difference extends to the city’s outskirts as well – Rome’s Campagna .

Mary Shelley

LADIES IN THE SPOTLIGHT 09 September-22 November Visitors to the Keats-Shelley House often ask what Mary Shelley’s life was really like, especially following the death of her beloved husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley.

This new temporary exhibition at the Keats-Shelley House will examine fragments of her life, and of other female figures connected with her.

In turns tragic and melancholy, but always fascinating, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the real conditions of women’s lives from the late 18th to the early 19th centuries.

Visitors will also have the chance to see a series of eight manuscripts from the Bodleian Library of Oxford University. It is the first time in its 100+ year history that the museum at the foot of the Spanish Steps has borrowed items from a major international lending institution.

The research for the exhibition has been extensive and many of the letters from the archive of the KeatsShelley House archive have never been seen before.

Keats-Shelley House, Piazza di Spagna 26, tel. 066784235, www.keatsshelley-house.org.

Edward Lear’s views of Palazzo Farnese a Caprarola and the town couched below; a scene of peasant life before Mussolini’s famous bonifica or draining of the marshes, some oxen up to their stomach’s in mud; then a view of Sambuci where Sambuca comes from.

Thanks to William Collingwood, for whom a walk was cognate with drawing, more countryside is conserved in observant pencil; today’s instant tweets and snapshots are another century’s slow and painstaking sketching, landscape lovingly lingered over for hours, even days. (cont. page 18)

Exhibition completed, it is worth crossing the forecourt and climbing the grand Valadier stairway to view another British master. Opposite a portrait of Piranesi, is a work by another artist much sought after by Grand Tourists, Joshua Reynolds. In his painting Catherine Bishop the background may be London, the spaniel archetypically English, but the figure of the girl is a variation on the ancient statue of Girl with a dove then in the Capitoline Museums.

passions and actions of humankind”, The Goldlandbergs is the creation of Israeli choreographer Emanuel Gat who was inspired by the music of the late Canadian classical pianist Glenn Gould. The work of both artists is linked by a shared interest in polyphony and counterpoint in which music is a dialogue of voices. Gat describes The Goldlandbergs as a story, “not exactly a story of facts or actions, but more a metaphorical narration of life, told through the complex weave of interpersonal relations.” For booking and information tel. 0645553050 or see www.romaeuropa.net.

HUNGER RUN 2013 20 October Registrations are open for the annual Hunger Run ten-km and five-km fundraiser event in Rome on Sunday 20 October, with proceeds going to support a livestock project at a school in

Sudan. The event to mark World Food Day is organised by the United Nation’s Rome-based agencies The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and the World Food Programme (WFP), as well as Biodiversity International, in collaboration with city authorities. Organisers say the run has three objectives: to increase public awareness of the plight of 870 million people in the world who live in chronic hunger; raise funds to help hungeraffected communities meet their own food needs over the long term; and build connections between the people of Rome and the UN food agencies headquartered there. Both the tenkm race (open only to athletes with a FIDAL membership card) and the noncompetitive five km run or walk (open to all) take place in the historic centre, which will be closed to traffic. Runners begin assembling on Viale delle Terme di Caracalla from 08.30 and the race starts at 10.00 from the Caracalla stadium. It costs €10 to participate and advance registration is recommended.

THE MUSSOLINI CANAL

BY ANTONIO PENNACCHI In 1932 Mussolini started to move the first of 30,000 poor sharecroppers from the north of Italy to inhabit his newly drained Pontine Marshes south of Rome. For three years farmers from the Po Valley, Friuli and the Veneto were bundled on trains and relocated south.

The Mussolini Canal is a novel of a family caught up in the largest forced internal migration in the country’s history, but it is also about the draining of the Pontine Marshes, the construction of new towns south of Rome in the 1930s and the atrocities of the war in Abyssinia.

This is a useful account of the inter-war period, the beginnings of the fascist

rise to power and the motives behind the support it won in agricultural areas of the country. It is also an excellent guide to the Pontine Marshes and the fascist-built cites, Latina (then called Littoria), Aprilia, Pomezia, Sabaudia, most of which are as under-rated historically and architecturally as EUR, Mussolini’s masterpiece of urban development on the southern outskirts of Rome.

It is still difficult in Italy to study or write about the fascist period without being accused of sympathising with the regime. Much of the period is therefore in danger of being lost to history. Here however is a fascinating story about fascist-socialist violence of the interwar years, of detailed planning of the train-journeys south, of the newly-built farmsteads waiting for the northern sharecoppers, of the sharecroppping system itself, of the tensions between the powerful landowners and the fascist leaders and between the poor northerners and the even poorer local population of the malaria-infested marshes south of the capital.

The book, which won the Strega Prize in 2010 but which only appeared in English this year, is all the more interesting because its author is a grandson of one of the original families. Born in Latina in 1950, with a background of first right-wing and then left-wing politics, this ex-factory worker turned to full-time writing in the mid-1990s.

If your Italian is good enough read The Mussolini Canal in Italian as the English translation doesn’t do it merit.

LA SCALA DI SETA BY ROSSINI 20 September-30 September Love intrigues take place up and down a silk staircase. Rossini’s farce is performed here by the young Academy singers conducted by Christophe Rouset and staged by Damiano Michieletto with the skillful use of mirrors in a production that has already been seen at the Rossini Opera Festival. Teatro alla Scala, Via Filodrammatici 2, tel. 0272003744, www.teatroallascala.org.

DON CARLO BY GIUSEPPE VERDI 12 October-29 October Verdi’s opera will be performed in its 1884 Italian version with the production by Stephane Braunschweig inaugurated in Japan in 2008. It is conducted by Fabio Luisi, with Rene Pape in the role of Philip II of Spain and Martina Serafin as his wife Elisabeth. Fabio Sartori sings Don Carlo, the Infante, in love with his step-mother Elisabeth. Teatro

Opera Notes The Bergamo Music Festival stages Maria de Rudenz, a rare work by Donizetti. The opera, a violent and excessive story, was a fiasco when it was first produced at La Fenice in Venice in 1832. It had a brief recognition a decade later and was then forgotten until 1981 when it was re-discovered, once again at La Fenice, with Katia Ricciarelli as the protagonist. It is now presented at Bergamo in a revised version

by Maria Billeri who also takes the lead role, conducted by Sebastiano Rolli and directed by Francesco Bellotto.

I Shardana by the Sardinian composer Ennio Porrino is based on an ancient Sardinian tale and is clearly influenced by the island’s musical traditions. It was staged for the first time in 1959 in Naples and then in 2010 in concert form in Cagliari to mark the centenary of the birth of Porrino. The present staged version is directed by Davide Livermore and conducted by Anthony Bramall.

Il Bergamo Musica Festival 2013 presenta una rarità: Maria de Rudenz di Gaetano Donizetti (20 e 22 settembre).

L’opera andò in scena alla Fenice di Venezia nel 1838, racconta una storia violenta ed eccessiva (la protagonista è prima pugnalata dall’uomo che ama e creduta morta, poi ritorna in scena per uccidere la rivale in amore e morire dissanguata dopo essersi strappate le bende) e presenta belle pagine musicali che Donizetti non esitò a riutilizzare nelle successive Poliuto e Gabriella di Vergy. Alla prima veneziana Maria de Rudenz fu un fiasco cui seguì un tardivo riconoscimento che durò fino al 1842, poi cadde definitivamente

TURANDOT BY PUCCINI 23 October-31 October Turandot, Puccini’s last opera, was only completed after his death by Franco Alfano and premiered in 1926 in Milan conducted by Arturo Toscanini. It is one of the most popular and most frequently performed operas in Italy.

In this production Evelyn Herlitzius and Elena Popovskaya sing the role of the icy Princess Turandot with Marcello Giordano and Chanev Kamen as the unknown prince Calàf. The tragic part of the slave girl Liù is sung by Carmela Remigio and Maija Kovalevska. The conductor is Pinchas Steinberg, the director Garnett Bruce, with the stage settings by David Hockney. Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, Teatro Costanzi, Piazza Beniamino Gigli 7, tel. 064817003, www.operaroma.it.

nel dimenticatoio fino a quando fu “riscoperta” sempre alla Fenice nel 1981 con Katia Ricciarelli protagonista. Ora Maria de Rudenz è presentata di nuovo al Teatro Donizetti di Bergamo in un’edizione revisionata sull’autografo e interpretata nel personaggio del titolo da Maria Billeri e negli altri ruoli principali da Gilda Fiume, Paolo Gavanelli e Ivan Magrì. La direzione d’orchestra e la regia saranno dovute rispettivamente a Sebastiano Rolli e Francesco Bellotto.

Il Teatro Lirico di Cagliari riprende la normale programmazione dopo la pausa estiva con I Shardana di Ennio Porrino (20-28 settembre). È l’opera di un musicista nativo della Sardegna che racconta la sua terra attraverso un’antica storia dell’epoca nuragica e una musica intessuta di “sonorità sarde” riscontrabili nelle brevi melodie melismatiche e nel ritmo ossessivo e ripetitivo che esse assumono, come pure nell’uso massiccio che in orchestra hanno le percussioni. «L’opera di Porrino costituisce – come ebbe a scrivere il musicologo e filologo tedesco Felix Karlinger – un ponte ideale tra la musica popolare della sua terra e le tendenze e le esigenze dell’arte musicale moderna». I Shardana ebbe la sua prima teatrale il 21 marzo 1959 al S. Carlo di Napoli, seguirono sporadiche rappresentazione e trasmissioni radiofoniche nel decennio successivo, dopodiché il silenzio fino al 2010 quando l’opera è stata eseguita in forma di concerto sempre al Teatro Lirico di Cagliari a ricordo del centenario della nascita di Ennio Porrino. I Shardana torna adesso nel teatro del capoluogo sardo in forma scenica per la regia del torinese Davide Livermore (che vi debutta) e la direzione di Anthony Bramall.
