LITERATURE

Andy Devane

ITALY READS HEMINGWAY American literature is the focus of the annual Italy Reads programme at John Cabot University in Rome

n the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the first world war, John Cabot University in Rome has selected A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway as the subject of this year’s Italy Reads, its annual community-based English language reading and cultural exchange programme. Over the last six autumns, Italy Reads has focused on classic American novels, helping to raise their profile among an Italian audience. The founder and driving force behind the programme is Carlos Dews, professor and chair of the English language and literature department at JCU. A native of Texas, Dews is a prominent figure in the city’s expat literary circles, and is co-author of the recent

supernatural thrillers Blood of the Lamb and Skin of the Wolf, published under the name Sam Cabot. He is also an expert on American writer Carson McCullers, and it was his positive experience speaking about her work in the US that inspired him to introduce an American cultural exchange programme to Italy. This initiative dedicated to American literature began at John Cabot University in 2009 as The Big Read Rome. Its success led to the creation of Italy Reads, whose scope was expanded to include the wider Italian high-school community as well as Rome’s speakers and students of English. Regarding the selection process, Dews says: “I like to alternate between male and female writers and I prefer what might be called ’classics‘ of American literature or more recent works that seem to be destined for status as a classic.” One such contemporary classic was The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American-Indian heritage who has lived in Rome over the last couple of years. Last November Lahiri described Italy Reads as “a beautiful link between Italian and American literature”, and referred humbly to the celebrated authors who preceded her. Previous editions have focused on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby;

Carson McCullers’ The Heart is a Lonely Hunter; Thornton Wilder’s Our Town; and Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. This year – for the first time – the spotlight is on a story set on Italian soil. Published in 1929, A Farewell to Arms is a first-person account of Frederic Henry, a fictional American lieutenant in the ambulance corps of the Italian army during Italy’s campaign in 1917. The semiautobiographical tale charts the love affair that blossoms between Henry and his nurse, Catherine Barkley, against the backdrop of a futile war, cynical soldiers and, ultimately, enormous tragedy. Reviewing the book shortly after its publication, The New York Times described it as “poetic, idyllic, tragic... moving and beautiful”, while British writer Arnold Bennett said it was “utterly free of sentimentality.” Many other critics however were not as receptive to the book’s tough new writing style and frank sexual references, and it was banned in Italy until 1948 over its account of the Italian retreat from the battle of Caporetto, as well as its perceived antimilitarism. The background to the book’s story began in 1918 when a 19-year-old Hemingway joined the Red Cross as an ambulance driver, stationed near Vicenza in northern Italy. Soon after he

LITERATURE arrived in June he was seriously injured by an Austrian mortar while distributing cigarettes and chocolates to Italian soldiers near the frontline, and his heroic actions in aiding his fellow soldiers would earn him an Italian silver medal for gallantry. During his convalescence at an American Red Cross hospital in Milan, he fell in love with American nurse Agnes von Kurowsky. Her later involvement with an Italian officer dashed Hemingway’s hopes of marriage, but she went on to inspire the Catherine Barkley character in A Farewell to Arms. Hemingway’s injury in the war was the “most important event in his literary life”, according to Elizabeth Geoghegan, a Chicago author, professor of English and Hemingway expert who has been involved in Italy Reads for the last number of years. She also identifies the potential literary role that Rome so narrowly missed out on in Hemingway’s work. “When he decided to return to Europe with his first wife Hadley,” Geoghegan says, “his first instinct was to move to Rome. He and Hadley discuss living in Rome in their letters as they make plans to move abroad.” In the end Hemingway settled on Paris, encouraged by the prospects of the flourishing art and literary scene, and armed with letters of introduction to the influential writer Gertrude Stein. Rome does, however, get a special mention in A Farewell to Arms, during a drink-fuelled discussion between Henry, known as Signor Tenente, and the Major. “Italy will return to the splendors of Rome,

Carlos Dews, the founder of Italy Reads.

said the major. I don’t like Rome, I said. It is hot and full of fleas. You don’t like Rome? Yes, I love Rome. Rome is the mother of nations.” Each year, Italy Reads also involves a performance by The English Theatre of Rome based on the chosen text. The theatre’s creative director Gaby Ford says the aim of this year’s production is to create three separate spaces and scenes from the narrative, “utilising the atmospheres – the plains, the mountains, and water – prose and dialogue.” The Italy Reads co-ordinator Gina Marie Spinelli says the programme has grown from 17 schools and 30 teachers in 2009 to 50 schools and over 130 teachers today. It now attracts Italian schools and students from all over the greater

Rome area – even as far away as Naples. Spinelli says that initially Italy Reads introduced itself to the Italian public and international high schools, but now most of the new teachers and book group leaders hear about the initiative through word of mouth. This year’s participants can look forward to lectures by Hemingway experts, a theatre production and film adaptation of A Farewell to Arms. Students can get involved in exchanges and compete in a student video contest, while teachers can attend a day-long training workshop. The next public Italy Reads lecture is on 21 October (18.30) by JCU’s Vanda Wilcox, whose doctorate at Oxford University was on morale and discipline in the Italian army in world war one. The English Theatre of Rome production takes place on the second and third weekend in November. As for future editions, Dews reveals that next year’s programme will be dedicated to The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison.

DREAMINGS FROM THE AUSTRALIAN DESERT Aboriginal art meets de Chirico

“T

he Carlo Bilotti? It’s not one of the wellknown museums. Where is it?” asked

the taxi driver. “In Villa Borghese,” came the reply. “But that’s a big place,” said the driver. Even the indication that it was somewhere near the lake didn’t satisfy him. It was going to be a difficult ride. But he had a point. The Museo Carlo Bilotti is one of the relative newcomers to the city (only eight years old) and is not high on most people’s list of places to visit. But for a long-time resident, who has been to most of the capital’s cultural offerings, it should rank high on the agenda of small discoveries. The Carlo Bilotti opened in the specially restored Arancieria in Villa Borghese in 2006 to house the contemporary art collection of businessman Carlo Bilotti, which he donated to the city on his death. Since then it has displayed some of Rome’s most interesting small exhibitions, to the tune of about seven or eight a year – which is no mean achievement. Most of the exhibitions have been of European or American art, in line

Antipodean Man by Imants Tillers. 8 October 2014 | Wanted in Rome

ART with the original Bilotti collection of works by de Chirico, Larry Rivers and Andy Warhol (the little-known Warhol portrait of Bilotti’s wife Tina and daughter Lisa, who died of leukaemia in 1989 at the age of 20, is unusually touching for a Warhol). The present exhibition, Dreamings. L’Arte Aborigena Australiana incontra de Chirico, is therefore an adventure far afield, into the Australian western desert, unusual by any standards. It took a leap of the imagination to come up with the connection of de Chirico and the artists of Australia’s western and central deserts, but the way the exhibition manages to connect the two is both intriguing and imaginative.

The word Dreamings is the link between the metaphysical works of the Italian artist and the Australian paintings in this exhibition. Considerable controversy used to surround the concept of Dreamtime. Spurned in the past by colonising Europeans as akin to superstition and ancestor worship, it is now understood as the way in which indigenous Australians make sense of their universe and the metaphysical nature of their very being. It has a function similar to that of Greek myths and biblical stories in western culture. Depending on whether you enter the museum from the top entrance in Villa Borghese or from the main entrance on the road that runs through the

park from Porta Pinciano to Piazzale Flaminio, you will come away with a different impression of this exhibition. Starting from the top you see the de Chirico paintings first. If you go through the lower entrance you are immediately face to face with the Australian works. Here are brilliant blues, yellows, greens, reds, pinks. Even the dark browns and blacks have a vivid quality about them. Dots, swirls, circles and lines tell mythical stories of the creation of the desert world, of its dominant features – such as rock outcrops, hills and water courses – of its communities and initiation ceremonies. But it is perhaps their texture that is most surprising, something that is not matched by the photos in the detailed catalogue. The ever-present dot motifs look like bobbles on the flat surface of the canvas, dark lines become sunken crevices, swirls of paint become powerful waterholes. Desert artists once used only the natural materials readily to hand, such as rock, bark, animal skins, plants and weaves, and it is as though something of the natural surface remains. This produces a three-dimensional effect and the temptation to reach out to touch the surface is ever present. The curators are at pains to point out in the catalogue these works are not just ethnological creations of a dwindling indigenous population, but are world-class paintings in their own right. They make the association with modern abstract art, but other links are equally possible – impressionism, expressionism and even 1960s British op art in the Tingari paintings by Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri, Willy Tjungurrayi and George Ward Tjungurrayi. But the very word Tingari neatly makes the point that artistic merit cannot be separated from its surrounding culture – the Tingari cycles refer to stories of travels and initiation ceremonies of the Tingari elders who travelled the western desert. That the curators should have felt it

ART necessary to underline the artistic merit of these paintings seems superfluous, although it may have served to open them up to international audiences and art markets. But pigeon-holing them as abstract art is like focusing on the technique of perspective in Renaissance paintings while ignoring the cultural significance of the mythical or biblical stories they depict. Dreamtime is as fundamental to the understanding of these paintings as some knowledge of the Greek mythology is important to the understanding of the de Chirico paintings on the upper floor. Water Dreaming (or Ngapa Jukurrpa), which tells of the creation of water holes in the central Australian desert, is the theme of the work by Judy Watson Napangardi on the cover of this edition of Wanted in Rome. It relates the story of the spectacular formation of water soaks (or underground water storage holes) by a rain ancestor on the usually dry Mikanji creek west of Yuendumu, a small community on one of the roads that connects Alice Springs to the rest of the northwest of the continent. Judy Watson is one of the senior artists of the Yuendumu community and her works are in many of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s museum collections. That these paintings are on show in Rome is thanks to two French collectors, Marc Sordello and Francis Missana, and also to the European-born Australian appropriation artist, Imant Tillers. Tillers, who represented Australia at the 1986 Venice Biennale, is the link with de Chirico. One of his huge de Chirico appropriations (The Vortex 1984) dominates the main room on the ground floor and his other de Chirico-like works, such as The Remorse of Orestes and the seminal Antipodean Manifesto, are sprinkled throughout the exhibition. But the Aboriginal influence is here too in his creations with Michael Nelson Jagamara on the upper floor, and much of his work not on show in Rome has even stronger links with Dreamtime.

The Sordello-Missana collection was first started by Sordello during visits to his family in Australia while he was studying art in the 1990s. Sordello and Missani live in Antibes in southern France, but Sordello in particular makes frequent visits to Australia. They explain that there were drawn to these works not only because of their colour but also because of what they describe as the links between the Australian western desert and the Mediterranean where they live, the former as a crossroads â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or the centre of complex Dreaming tracks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the middle of the continent and the latter as a crossroads between eastern and western culture. The two French collectors now have one of the biggest private collections of Aboriginal art outside Australia, and in the last couple of years the works have been exhibited in both Spain and France.

SIDE NOTES The only European museum to have a permanent collection of contemporary Australian art is the Museum of Contemporary Aboriginal Art (AMU) in Utrecht. Coming immediately after an exhibition dedicated to the Kimberley artists of northwest Australia, its current exhibition, which runs until January 2015, examines the controversial subject of stereotyping and racism in Australia. In BLAK. Forced into images six contemporary urban Aboriginal artists satirise the images and stereotypes that are forced on them because of their ethnicity. Dreamings runs until 2 Nov.

SHORT WORDS FOR LONG

Anglo Saxon pays its Italian debt

“B

erlusconi game over!” warns Matteo Renzi – a soundbite master to rival Tony Blair – after Silvio Berlusconi’s “telefonata combat”, to cite another headline. “Time out!” My adult English student’s young son pops his head round the door to alert, in his minimal English, mum and teacher alike that the lesson has ended. Both instances spring to mind (two quick-fire Anglo Saxon monosyllables)

after reading the long and short of Stefano Bartezzaghi’s fascinating article in Italian newspaper La Repubblica “Inglese, parole lunghe addio ma l’italiano non si accorcia” – 22 syllables; or in just 14: “English, long words ciao! But Italian gets no shorter.” Bartezzaghi notes the “trend” – another borrowing – whereby Italian, for lack of monosyllables of its own, is resorting more and more to English Johnny-come-latelies. In the age of SMS,

the shorter the word the less the phone bill. Or better an acronym. Thus “we” for “weekend”, “asap” for “as soon as possible – or “ipp” for il primo possible, Italian here reaching the finishing tape a letter ahead. Other lexical imports noted are “ok” for d’accordo, “restyling” for the lumbering ristrutturazione, “film” for pellicola, and “l’ultima chance”, saving (or losing) two syllables on l’opportunità, and also feminine on the principle that the English neuter is transformed into the

gender of its Italian equivalent. Similarly la star, even if male, from Italian’s stella. Anglicisms staccato the political pages each day (e.g. “spending review” for revisione di spese). Similarly presidente del consiglio becomes “premier”, cutting down on the amount of times that di is used. Over any given page they can amount to dozens, as any weary translator or proof-reader will tell you. To illustrate how the road to brevity for Italians is still a long one, Bartezzaghi cites the Cinque Stelle deputato or MP who began a speech with “Sarò breve e circonciso….” which translates as, yes, “I’ll be brief and circumcised”, when what he meant was circostanziato. While for us, a nation of shopkeepers, time is money, for Italians, inventors of the Baroque, “the shortest distance from A to Z is an arabesque,” to quote Ennio Flaiano, dramatist, playwright and journalist. Anglicismi can also express practices deemed utterly un-Italian in their unpleasantness. Reflecting its Germanic origins, lo spread – a loan word in the heaviest sense, albeit with Italian article – replaces la differenziale. Then there is “baby gang” and the even nastier “knockout game”. Making liberal use of English, another recent article in La Repubblica

Wanted in Rome | 8 October 2014

explains how uno di loro dà il ko. Loro here are local “hooligans” who after however many drink (again, in Itaglish plurals lose the “s”) engage passers-by in “a free fight”, or for the victim anything but. Similarly daubers of graffiti are flattered with the title writer. Italian linguists fret about this so called ondata – or tidal wave. Yet anglicisimi in 1749 numbered only 12, rising to 40 in 1845, reaching a mere 114 in 1989*. To an Anglophone, such worries cannot help but seem displaced. Shakespeare could coin almost as many italianismi/Latinisms in a single scene; in his book Mother Tongue, Bill Bryson tallies the bard’s coinages at 2,000, while Robert McCrum in his Story of English estimates that during the Renaissance (a word borrowed from French rather than from the Italian Rinascimento) there were 12,000 loan words in the English language. Borrowing or outright theft has been English’s modus operandi and secret weapon. For centuries, it has been a source of richness, we like to think, rather than of pollution. Take Macbeth’s “My hand will the multitudinous seas incarnadine, turning the green one red.” Anglo-Saxon’s monosyllabic vocabulary is infused with words which to

audiences of the day must have seemed magically lengthy. One explanation is that Shakespeare was really Italian, at least according to Sicilian professor Martino Luvaro who recently published a book on the subject. A second theory involves John Florio, translator at Elizabeth’s court. Florio and Shakespeare worked together in the service of the Earl of Southampton and, according to Shakespearean scholar Jonathan Bate, Florio’s wife is the most likely candidate as the sonnets’ “dark lady”. Yet modern Italian can also mix long and short, home-grown and exotic with neo-Shakespeare dexterity. Take, courtesy of Piero Melati, this description of Norman Mailer in a recent edition of Venerdì: “…scrittore pluripremiato, ma anche machista, boxer and hemingwaiano doc.” Pluripremiato and hemingwaiano work better than their English equivalents: “Hemingwayan” and “multiple prize-winning” sound awkward, while doc for Denominazione d’origine controllata shows also that Italian can coin monosyllables of its own. Again mixing long and short is an article in Il Messaggero about a sceicco di Dubai visiting Italy in search of le personal shopper selezionate come dei setter irlandesi. For brevity consider Ungaretti’s two-

LANGUAGE word poem M’illumino d’immenso, sent back from the front lines of world war one on the back of a postcard. Then for proper names “Ma” for Maria, Marina or Margherita, “Ale” for Alessandro, and so on, are economical enough. Autogrill means “motorway service station”, scotch is “Sellotape”, slip is “underpants”, stage is “internship”. Meanwhile other anglicismi turn out to be Italian expressions come home. The bar originally used to separate customer and fractious customer in the America’s Far West is short for barra. This did not stop purists in the 1940s considering substituting bar with mescita. So much the better that they didn’t. In a La Repubblica article discussing the Zingarelli 2014 dictionary’s 1,500 “new entry” (note the Itaglish plural), Raffaelle de Santis proves that whatever English does Italian can do as well, if not always as concisely. US English’s “kidult” becomes the ingenious adultescente. “Bling” becomes bling bling, the double length suggesting one fancy jewelstone rattling against another. Italian concision is also evident in rosicone, the nearest English being “someone who eats his/her heart out of envy for a more

successful rival.” Then there’s craccare – to “crack” or enter a software programme by fiddling the password. Facebook too is responsible for new Italian verbs such as postare and taggare. In the same Repubblica article, Massimo Arcangeli, the head of Zingarelli’s publisher, Zanichelli, comments how “words resemble geological phenomena: they explode, become buried and on occasion resurface. It’s important to keep them under long-term observation. Language changes are swift, but it’s also natural that they arrive (as here) rather late….” With a dynamic all their own,

languages have a way of following their best interest, experts and committees take the hindmost. As diehard conservative Samuel Johnson was forced to concede in the preface to his dictionary: “Academies have been instituted to guard the avenues of their languages… and repulse intruders … but their vigilance and activity have been in vain; sounds are too volatile… for legal restraints…” *Romanische Sprachgechicte/ Storia Interna dell’Italiano edited by Wolfgang Schweickard, Gerhard Erst, Christian Schmitt and others, 2009. 8 October 2014 | Wanted in Rome

MARIO SIRONI: 1885-1961 4 Oct-8 Feb The Vittoriano hosts a retrospective to Mario Sironi, one of Italy’s better known modernist artists from the first half of the 20th century. Sironi embraced

numerous art movements throughout his life, including symbolism, futurism and metaphysical art. He is also associated with Italian fascism which led to his fall from favour in later life. As an artist he was active as a painter, illustrator, graphic designer, architect, sculptor and muralist. The 90 works on display at the Vittoriano are on loan from prestigious public and private collections in Italy, and help to define his complex career. Complesso del Vittoriano, Via di S.

The photographic exhibition is a reminder of the 100-day mass slaughter of nearly a million Tutsi and moderate Hutus by members of the ruling Hutu majority. The exhibition is the result of collaboration between Umubyeyi Mwiza Ngo – the Romebased humanitarion organisation working in Rwanda and other African countries – and Rome artist Angelo Savarese. Organisers say the exhibition serves as a reminder of Rwanda’s recent dramatic past and a source of reflection on its future and reconciliation. Museo di Roma in Trastevere, Piazza S.

THE ART OF NORMAN ROCKWELL AMERICAN CHRONICLES 11 Nov-8 Feb The Museo Fondazione Roma presents what is likely to be one of the capital’s most visited shows this winter. The exhibition is dedicated to the 20thcentury American painter and illustrator Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) who is best known for his detailed cover illustrations of The Saturday Evening Post magazine for more than four decades. Rockwell documented key points in American society, from national pride to racism, but it was his acute observations of everyday life and his nostalgic touch that earned him such broad popular appeal. The year before he died he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian honour, for his “vivid and affectionate portraits of our country.” Curated by Stephanie Plunkett of the Norman Rockwell Museum and Danilo Eccher of GAM in Turin, the exhibition features more than 100 paintings, documents and photographs, as well as the complete collection of 323 original covers of The Saturday Evening Post, from 1916 to 1963.

Hopper established his reputation as a cult film director with Easy Rider in 1969 and went on to play numerous important roles in films such as Apocalypse Now a decade later. However his interest in

photography went back to the 1950s, following encouragement from fellow actor James Dean. Throughout the 1960s Hopper used his camera to document American life and his photographs are included in the permanent collections of a number of important American art institutions including New York’s the Metropolitan and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).

Parma’s Verdi opera festival celebrates the 80th birthday of soprano Raina Kabaivanska. 8 October 2014 | Wanted in Rome

OPERA NOTES Al Teatro Regio di Parma si svolgerà dal 10 ottobre al 4 novembre il Festival Verdi 2014. Si inaugurerà con La forza del destino (10-28 ottobre) forse l’opera di Giuseppe Verdi meno organica (dal punto di vista drammaturgico) ma certamente una delle più “spirituali”, il cui terzetto finale afferma con sicurezza che le brutture e le sofferenze della vita saranno sconfitte e purificate dalla fede in una vita oltre la morte, dove «cesserà la guerra, santo l’amor sarà». A Parma lo canteranno il soprano Virginia Tola, il tenore Roberto Aronica e il basso profondo Michele Pertusi, con loro negli altri ruoli principali il mezzosoprano Chiara Amarù, il baritono Luca Salsi e il basso Roberto De Candia. Jader Bignamini dirigerà l’orchestra e concerterà i cantanti mentre la regia, le scene, i costumi come le coreografie e le luci, saranno affidate a Stefano Poda. Secondo titolo del Festival che sarà messo in scena al piccolo ma grazioso Teatro Giuseppe Verdi di Busseto è La traviata (24 ottobre-2 novembre), vedrà in palcoscenico esibirsi i vincitori e i finalisti del 52° Concorso Internazionale Voci Verdiane “Città Di Busseto” e sul podio Stefano Rabaglia. La regia sarà di Henning Brockhaus che si avvarrà delle scene di Josef Svoboda. Si tratta di un passato e celebre allestimento che vede la scena dominata da una gigantesca superficie riflettente le scene dipinte sul palcoscenico e i movimenti degli attori; nel finale dell’opera lo specchio si solleverà mostrando la platea e i palchi del teatro: in questo modo gli spettatori saranno chiamati a “rivedere” la morte di Violetta e a considerarla quale nefasto prodotto del perbenismo e delle convezioni sociali, di ieri come di oggi. In cartellone anche tre interessanti concerti. L’11 ottobre Mariella Devia canterà romanze verdiane da camera e operistiche; il 17 ottobre si esibiranno alcuni nomi noti della lirica (tra i quali Anna Pirozzi, Gregory Kunde, John Osborn, Vittorio Vitelli e Ferruccio Furlanetto) in un programma scelto dai membri del “Club dei 27”, il gruppo di appassionati verdiani che si chiamano come le opere dal compositore, e infine il 25 ottobre ci sarà un omaggio agli ottant’anni di Raina Kabaivanska dei suoi allievi (tra i quali campeggia il nome di Maria Agresta, una delle più interessanti artiste liriche dell’ultima generazione) che si esibiranno in romanze e duetti rigorosamente scritti da Giuseppe Verdi.

SPORT HUNGER RUN 19 Oct Registrations are open for the annual Hunger Run ten-km and five-km fundraiser event in Rome on Sunday 19 October, with proceeds going towards projects that help the poor to improve their ability to produce and access food. The event to mark World Food Day, held on 16 October every year, 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 more than 800 million people in the world who live in chronic hunger; raise funds to help hunger-affected communities meet their own food needs; to 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. It costs €10 to participate. Registration deadlines for the competitive race is 15 Oct while the participants in the non-competitive races can register right up until the day of the event. Runners begin assembling on Viale delle Terme di Caracalla from 08.30 and the race starts at 10.00 from the Caracalla stadium. For full details see www.hungerrun.it.
