THE STUMBLING STONES OF JEWISH MEMORIALS The story behind Rome’s brass cobblestones

hile a group of young school children kick a soccer ball around in the Jewish ghetto, their ball bounces over the sampietrini but also on top of some brass cobblestones that have recently become ubiquitous in this neighbourhood and in other parts of Rome. Another family circles around the children, pushing an elderly relative in a wheelchair whose wheels plough over the plaques. The top of the brass cobblestone is engraved and reads, “Here lived…..” These cobblestone-sized memorials are referred to as stolpersteine in German, or literally translated “stumbling stones” and are installed outside the last chosen place of residence of victims of the Holocaust. There are over a dozen in the Jewish ghetto and they are now part of the fabric of the neighbourhood, just as the victims once were, who themselves played soccer or strolled with their relatives over the same spot. Each plaque is detailed with the victim’s first and last name, date of birth, date and place of deportation, and date of death in a Nazi extermination camp. There are currently almost 200 stumbling stones installed in nine

Wanted in Rome | 5 November 2014

districts of Rome including Trastevere, Prati, Campo de’ Fiori, Flaminio, S. Pietro, Tiburtina, Prenestino, Appio Latino and Aurelio. A new tranche of stones is laid in Rome every January. The stolperstein memorial was designed by Berlin artist Gunter Demnig. On 16 December 1992 Demnig marked the 50th anniversary of Himmler’s order to deport Sinti and Roma to extermination camps by engraving the decree’s first sentence onto a stone which he laid in front of Cologne’s town hall. Demnig’s idea developed further

after meeting a war-era Cologne resident who had no memory of Sinti or Roma having ever lived in her neighbourhood. Despite encountering difficulties in obtaining official support in the early stages of the project, within a few years Demnig was authorised by Cologne to install more stolpersteine and now there are thousands of these memorials across Germany. Today more than 27,000 of these brass cobblestones have been installed throughout eight European countries: Croatia, Czech Republic, France,

Germany, Hungary, Italy, Norway and the Netherlands, as well as Russia. Their installation only began in Rome in 2010, to become part of what Adachiara Zevi, manager of the Rome branch of the project, defines as “circuits of memory.” The memorial stones are commissioned by family members or often residents of the building from where victims were deported, a powerful reminder of a tragedy in the exact place it occurred, by people who were affected directly. The reactions to the commemorative effort have been mixed: to some they are unnoticeable, and to others unavoidable. Although the installations are discreet, a few were removed illegally from the Jewish ghetto and Monti disticts in 2012. The memorial for Don Pietro Pappagallo, the Resistance priest killed in the Fosse Ardeatine massacre in 1944 and whose character featured in Rossellini’s movie Open City, was stolen from outside his former home on Via Urbana, not once but twice. The installation is part of a larger effort in the capital to recover from its role in the earlier stages of world war two, on the 70th anniversary of Rome’s liberation. Author and docent Roy Doliner believes the brass cobblestones have a different effect to the numerous wall plaques around the city because you stumble over them (often literally) and by doing so, open your eyes. On a walk through the city, Doliner

points to several commemorative plaques honouring Holocaust victims that were installed more than a decade after the end of the war. A particularly agonising plaque to read is on the wall of a children’s day school near Via Portico d’Ottavia in the Jewish ghetto that states, “In perpetual memory of 112 students from this school killed in the Nazi extermination camps.” Another plaque that was installed in 1984 on the wall of a building on Via della Lungara in Trastevere reads, “On 16 October 1943 entire Jewish Roman families were ripped from their homes and brought to this place and then deported to concentration camps. Of more than 2,000 people, only 16 survived.” The dawn raid in the ghetto around the synagogue involved the rounding up of 1,016 Roman Jews, including 200 children, who were then taken to the Collegio Militare building at Palazzo Salviati on Via della Lungara 82-83. Two days later they were sent to Auschwitz on a sealed train from Tiburtina station. Only six of them were to return to Rome, according to figures released by the city hall on the 70th anniversary of the deportation in 2013. That anniversary was marked with a ceremony at Tiburtina station in the presence of Rome’s mayor Ignazio Marino and the president of the city’s Jewish community Riccardo Pacifici. A plaque honouring the victims who were

loaded on trains and deported to labour and concentration camps was reinstalled on platform one after its temporary removal during recent renovation works. Another district in Rome to suffer hugely during world war two was Quadraro – today’s Cinecittà off Via Tuscolana to the south-east of Rome – home to partisans and opponents of the fascist regime. There one can find a sculpture in the park recalling 17 April 1944 when the Germans raided the neighbourhood and took more than 700 men to labour camps. For Rome, in terms of size, the so-called Walfisch operation was second only to the raid at the ghetto six months earlier. The recent installation of the stumbling stones throughout the city is designed to tell the story of the Holocaust one tragedy at a time, each adult and child victim commemorated one by one in front of his or her home. Whoever wishes to dedicate a stumbling block to a friend or relative deported can do so by visiting the Casa della Memoria e della Storia in Trastevere, or download and compile the form online, www.arteinmemoria.com.

ABANDONED IN VIA SALONE

Marginalised and forgotten, Roma children play football in dangerous conditions

“C

he c’è scritto?” the man yelled. “Che c’è scritto?” he repeated and pointed at the road signs I had ignored. What was written? Dangerous Road. And, admittedly, Private Property. I had been contemplating the panorama of a camp for Roma, bordered by a railway track and a road. The site, built by the government, was Europe’s largest gypsy camp. “I give them home-grown vegetables and what do they give me? Dioxin,” the man said referring to the Roma who were burning waste on his land. He took me to the beginning of the private lane, where the Salone railway station ended. “Look, you are being watched,” he said indicating a camera. Salone was a ghost station: trains no longer stopped there since commuters had complained about the Roma. “The worst are not the adults,” the man said, “but the young.” On Via di Salone, I had to cycle between cars and trucks – there was no space for pedestrians or cyclists. I passed a long metal fence with cameras on towering masts. At number 323, vans and pickup

trucks bustled in a parking lot. I wanted to peep into the camp and entered the dirt track between the lot and the fence. But shouting youths in a van and a beefy adult on a Vespa stopped me. “What are you looking for,” the adult asked blocking me. The Salone camp had made headlines with ethnic conflicts, drug dealing and child prostitution. Since 1 July it was no longer under surveillance: the budget was exhausted, the guards had gone and the CCTV was no longer monitored. “Stazione… treni… Termini,” I said, faking poor Italian and knowing that the dirt track led to the railway station. “I’ll take you to the station. Leave your bike here,” he said. “No, I can’t,” I said. “It’s not mine. I have to take it back.” “Gimme €5 and I’ll show you.” “I don’t have €5.” He sighed. “Straight on, then turn right.” I dawdled on. On my left, against a concrete wall, lay broken shoes, stained clothes, half-burnt plastic bottles, dismantled electrical appliances, broken furniture and burned-out wrecks of cars. On my right, toddlers peeped through the fence. Suddenly a boy on a mountain bike rode beside me. “Follow me,” he said. We pedalled along the dirt track,

Wanted in Rome | 5 November 2014

between the puddles. “Do you have school holidays?” I asked. “School… yes.” “No, holidays?” “Holidays… yes.” We slipped through a line of concrete blocks and crossed a field. Then, an iron gate led to the railway platform. We rode up to the building. I told the boy I had to return the bike to a place near Termini. A train whistled through the station at high speed. “Are you a journalist?” he asked. “Giornalista calcio?” “Eh… yes.” “Do you live in a house?” “I do.” “Rich! You’re rich!” “No, I’m not.” I said. “I just write an article and then hand it in.” “Yes,” he said thoughtfully. “One has to do something.” Another boy on a mountain bike arrived. He wasn’t wearing a top and, with his wavy hair, was quite goodlooking. “A sports journalist,” the first boy explained. “You can take the next train. Leave your bike here,” the newcomer tried. I refused. The boy then asked me if I were Romanian. I told him that I was Belgian and then asked where they came from. The boys were Bosnian Serbs.

They used to live in Casilino 900, a Roma camp in the Centocelle neighbourhood. There the boys went to school and had Italian friends. Then the authorities razed Casilino 900 and deported the inhabitants to Salone, 30 km from Rome and 3 km from a bus stop along a killer road. About 375 of the camp’s 480 minors were enrolled in a school; only two of them made it to high school. I noticed that the first boy barely spoke since the second one had joined us. “Do you play football,” I asked them. “In a team? A Bosnian team?” They nodded. “Do you have a ball for us,” the good-looking boy asked. When I said I didn’t, he asked me for money to buy something to drink. “Here’s €4,” I said. “Two for each of you. But don’t drink – ” “– whisky,” he said with a smirk as he rode off. “I’m Mike,” I shouted after him. “What’s your name?” He turned and shouted “Francesco.” “But… that’s Italian?” “Of course it is.” “And yours,” I asked the softly-spoken boy. He hesitated. “Diego.” “That’s Spanish,” I said. “Yes,” he murmured and joined Francesco. The following day I returned to the camp. At the entrance a small girl was sitting high up on the fence. She wore a white dress and had a large dark-blue bow in her hair. “What do you want?” she asked. I waved at her, said “Ciao” and rode on. Further down the track, a man and a woman were talking. I addressed the man: “I’m looking for Diego and Francesco. They’re Bosnian. I have a football for them.” “Can I have the ball?” the man asked. “I’m afraid not: Diego and Francesco have helped me a lot.” “Try the next large side entrance,” he said. A couple of metres further along

SOCIAL AFFAIRS stood the man who had blocked me the day before. He recognised me. “Diego? A small boy? Follow me.” Run-down containers stood crammed on a cement platform. Rats criss-crossed between them and sewage was leaking onto the ground. There had been cases of hepatitis. Deafening music filled the air. Although the camp was built for 600 people, it now housed more than 1,000. Up to 11 people shared a container. Many of the inhabitants suffered from respiratory difficulties and hypertension. The first container belonged to Diego’s family. It appeared Diego was not his name, but something like “Djuro”. In no time a dozen half-naked and barefoot children surrounded me. Diego appeared. He looked surprised. “So you found the way back?” he asked in his soft voice. “Here,” I said and gave him the ball. “It’s yours. And Francesco’s, but your’s more.” He nodded.

All of a sudden I became aware that someone was sitting on the back of my bike. I turned and looked into the twinkling eyes of a young boy. He asked if I had a ball for him as well. I said that everyone having a ball wouldn’t make sense. Instead, everyone should team up and play with one ball. Diego shot the ball against a container and looked approving. “Let’s go.” We walked to a spot in front of a hardboarded house where other kids soon joined us. They were Romanian. We improvised two goal posts: Bosnia would play Romania. I was to play with my Bosnian friends of course. Under a radiating sun and in high weeds we played football. Close to the camp, an incinerator was spitting out fine particles – the level of palladium is twice as high here as in nearby regions; that of dioxin five to 20 times. Via di Salone’s mortality rate from tumours is 30 per cent higher than Rome’s.

Trains no longer stop at the Salone station.

I left after one game and fetched my bike. Behind the concrete wall, adults were burning waste. A couple of children standing inside the blackened frame of a wardrobe watched them silently. The area was a dump once; its soil now contained arsenic, pyrene, beryl and lead. Black, toxic fumes spread out towards the looming LNG storage terminal. When I neared the entrance, the little girl on the fence waved at me. She was smiling. “Ciao!” she shouted. “Will you come back?”

Camp conditions are so unhygienic that illness is much higher than in other parts of Rome. 5 November 2014 | Wanted in Rome

FROM ABBUFFATA TO A ZONZO

A rough guide to some of Rome’s most used expressions

ondon has Cockney, Liverpool its Scouse, Newcastle its Geordie. Rome has a strange offshoot of Latin, known pejoratively as Romanesco by some, Romano by others or, more usually, Romanaccio. The original form was extant in the time of the Rome poet Gioachino Belli (1791-1863) but was duly supplanted by a lowly equivalent thanks to its simplicity, concision and immediacy.

Its expressions pepper everyday discourse. To help the non-native speaker replace bemusement with amusement, here’s a brief linguistic vademecum to some words that no conversation (or argument) can do without. To start with, some attentiongrabbing pet expletives. First the ubiquitous mannaggia: the stress – whether of annoyance, pain or amazement – falls on the second

syllable. Once mal ne abbia, or “the devil take it”, this not so much a swearword as the avoidance of one. Or even more harmlessly – at least compared to Anglo Saxon’s four-letter equivalent – Mannaggia la miseria. Equally common is li mortacci tua. Dare the rush-hour traffic around Porta Maggiore and the launch of this phrase is almost guaranteed from a rolled-down window or waspish motorcyclist. In fact the derivation is from ancient Roman ancestor worship when forebears were treated with maximum respect. (See a statue in the Montemartini museum of a Roman worthy proudly carrying two heads of departed progenitors tucked fondly beneath his shoulders.) The expression also demonstrates how a swear word redoubles its force when directed against a family member. Alimorte, more in surprise than malice, is a more neutral variant. Ammazza meaning literally “kill” (ammappa its euphemistic version) is another favourite. Once this bloodthirsty cry of the plebs was directed, with thumbs down, at a losing gladiator, but it has been tamed over time to 5 November 2014 | Wanted in Rome

LANGUAGE

Anti-austerity protestors revert to the vernacular to get their message across.

convey wonder or even admiration as in Ammazza, quant’è bella! Cazzo has also acquired meanings far removed from the original. With the unshockability and level-headedness of the true linguist, Giuliano Malizia in his Piccolo Dizionario Romanesco devotes two columns to it. While acknowledging the obvious vulgarity, he also notes how it can “express disdain, boredom, wonder, anger or incredulity; or nothing and nobody, a good-for-nothing.” In the mouth of the people its use “reinforces discourse, to make it more credible, real, consistent.” If that’s not defence enough, he then cites its adoption by literary heavyweights Belli, Machiavelli and Leopardi to season their writings. Cacà (defecate) often becomes, less vulgarly, an all-purpose, selfevidently pejorative prefix. So cacadoji is the archetypal doom-monger or oppressive pessimist, a Roman Jonah; cacadubbi labels someone hesitant, cacapepe someone on the touchy side, cacasotto coward, cacasentenze an opinionater. Lastly there is cacaversi, compared to which our own poetaster seems a compliment. Similar departures from original meaning occur with culo: Vaffanculo

Wanted in Rome | 5 November 2014

as vulgar as one can get (a Roman “Up yours!”) can also express joking incredulity before something unlikely or impossible – as in “Pull the other one!” The opposite of jella, (meaning misfortune) here beginning with a y sound, in avè culo, the noun referring not to the posterior body-part but to luck, perhaps plumpness in that area

once being an indicator of wealth. Faccia da culo or faccia come il culo meanwhile expresses anything between cheek and downright shamelessness, as exemplified by certain chat show politicians. The history of mignotta (for prostitute, as in the title of a Pasolini short story set in Via Casilina) follows an opposite path, its origin in the less pejorative matris ignotae (of unknown mother) under which orphans were entered in the public register, or M. ignotae for short. Urban (not to say imperial) arrogance is expressed in a series of other pejoratives for provincials, unlucky or foolish enough to have been born outside the city wall: cafone, originally denoted people from Calabria. Then there are zappaterra (hoer of the earth) and buzzurro, originally denoting itinerant chestnut sellers from Switzerland, then anywhere from the north. Less specific is burino, showing that Romanesco goes back a long way, “buris” being Latin for plough-handle. Not that things end here. In the spirit of campanilismo (which itself means provincialism – campanile being the

Much-loved actor Alberto Sordi was famous for his Roman dialect particularly in films such as Un Americano a Roma.

LANGUAGE village spire) there is noantri – “we others”, in contradistinction to nonRomans everywhere, even within Rome: Trasteverini used to vie with Montosi from across the river in Rione Monti for the title of true sons of the soil, the Roman Forum becoming their annual battleground to dispute that very question. Like Cockney, Romanesco has a genius for short forms. If Cockney tends to leave off the ends of words, then Romanesco leaves off the beginning also. Immondizia (rubbish) becomes ‘monnezza; uno turns into ‘no, una into ‘na; andiamo becomes ‘nnamo, etc. The Romanesco èsse (to be) produces: io sò, noi semo, voi sete, loro sò. As befits the dialect of caput mundi, Romanesco has a hotline back to Latin: abbacchio (lamb), a delicious speciality of cucina romana, derives from ad baculam, “on the stick” the animal was attached to before being led to slaughter; the verb, abbacchiasse, by metaphoric extension means to be laid low or depressed. Pennichella, Rome’s siesta, stems from pendicare, the Latin for to lean; fiottà to lament from fluctuare. Hardly surprising given a Jewish presence going back over two millennia, there are also occasional

etymological flashbacks to Hebrew. As in English, words are often not what they seem. Palo in fare palo has nothing to with a post, but is to stand look-out. If someone calls you selcio he’s not calling you a rock, but insulting your intelligence; dritto means not upright or straight but sly; strozzapreti (prieststrangler) is no criminal but a type of pasta. Buffi (a derivative of buffoon) means debts, anything but funny. Avé le purce in testa may mean to harbour dangerous thoughts rather than lice. On the literary front Cockney, for all its rhyming slang, has not got much beyond Chas and Dave or Joe Brown and the Bruvvers. Romanesco on the other hand can boast two world-class poets – Belli and Trilussa. Stroll (annà a zonzo) to Trastevere for a binge (abbuffata) and you’ll find a bar named after one poet, a trattoria after another. Putting Romanesco up where it belongs, both have statues. To cite Belli’s own introduction to his Sonnetti romanschi and read just the language hierarchy still further: “Given their bent for sarcasm, a genius for the rough-and-ready, our populace don’t mince words.”

SIDE NOTES Romanesco has a lyricism all its own, thus vedé tutte le stelle metaphorises pain. The following are all phrases of which any writer would be proud. Cascarci come una pera cotta (Fall for it like a cooked pear) Pieno com’un ovo (Full as an egg) Liscio com’una palla de bijardo (Smooth as a billiard ball) Parlà come ‘naa sveja quanno se scarica (Talk like an alarm-clock) Barbottà come la pila ar foco (Stutter like a log on a fire) Avè molte face come ‘na cipolla (Have as many faces as an onion) Usà una cupola per spegne na canella (Use a dome to put out a candle) Montà la mosca ar naso (To have a fly up one’s nose) For more Roman expressions, and their unlikely English translations, see the Facebook page Never A Joy - Detti romaneschi per anglofoni. Giuseppe Gioachino Belli (1791-1863) was famous for his Romanesco sonnets which satirised the pursuits of workingclass Romans as well as pimps, prostitutes and prelates. He left behind a staggering legacy of 2,279 sonnets, most of which veer between the humorous and the obscene. A white marble statue of the poet acts as a landmark at the Ponte Garibaldi end of Viale Trastevere.

Giuseppe Gioachino Belli wrote over 2,000 sonnets in Romanesco.

Born ten years after Belli died, Carlo Alberto Salustri (1873-1950) took up the mantle as the chronicler of Roman life in the city’s native dialect. Better known by his pen name of Trilussa (an anagram of his surname), the poet is remembered for his sonnets and poems which feature the petite bourgeoisie and the ruling classes. A statue of Trilussa can also be found in Trastevere, in the square named in his honour.

25 Oct-22 Nov Under the theme Moving Forward, the fifth edition of Outdoor Urban Art Festival is based at a 5,000-sqm disused customs building in the S. Lorenzo quarter. Once again international artists have been invited to leave their mark on Rome, each offering a unique interpretation of public space and all working together to transform the city. The festival continues its quest to promote Rome as a centre of urban art and organisers say the initiative takes place in a spirit of renewal. Over five weeks the building’s long-abandoned rooms and corridors will be decorated with site-specific installations by 15 street artists from six countries, including France, Greece, Japan, Norway and Italy (mostly Rome), as well as South Africa’s Faith 47 and JackFox, and Buff Monster from the US. Since the festival began five years ago, certain Roman districts such as Garbatella, S. Paolo and Ostiense have literally been transformed by urban art. The S. Lorenzo site can be visited each weekend and visitors can also enjoy related events including guided tours, live music and street food.

DANCE MILAN

SWAN LAKE BY MATTHEW BOURNE 11-23 Nov Matthew Bourne’s choreography of Swan Lake with its all-male cast has become a classic in its own right since it was first produced almost 20 years ago at Sadler’s Wells. Bourne combines dramatic force and gentleness, humour and tragedy to make a provocative, powerful and now very popular staging of this old favourite. Jonathan Ollivier, Chris Trenfield, Christopher Marney and Simon Williams are the star dancers in this touring production. Teatro Arcimboldi, teatroarcimboldi.it.

The Talent is a second-generation offshoot of the all-male, powerfully athletic Balletboyz, which was formed by Michael Nunn and William Trevitt in 2001. Scarlett, who gave up his star dancing role with Royal Ballet two years ago to concentrate on choreography, has been defined by one British newspaper as “dance’s hottest property”. He already has seven choreographies to his name, commissioned by American, British and Japanese dance companies but Serpent is his first for Balletboyz and a first for contemporary dancers. IL LAGO DEI CIGNI or IL CANTO 10 Jan 2015 A new and important rendering of Swan Lake by one of Italy’s foremost choreographers, Fabio Monteverdi. This is a Balletto di Roma production.

This work, in the suggestive setting of the Ara Pacis, is inspired by the Japanese hanami – the traditional festivities that surround the cherry blossom time in Japan, between the end of March and early May each year. In this choreography the protagonists are the wind and the brief but spectacular fall of the petals. Ara Pacis, www.dacrudancecompany.com.

OPERA MILAN

SIMONE BOCCANEGRA By GIUSEPPE VERDI 31 Oct-19 Nov Leo Nucci and Placido Domingo share the part of Simone Boccanegra in Verdi’s opera conducted by Stefano Ranzani and Daniel Barenboim. It is a co-production with the Berlin State Opera Unter den Linden. The opera was first performed at La Fenice in 1857 but was never very popular until it was revised and then performed for the second time at La Scala in 1888. Teatro alla Scala, Piazza alla Scala, www.teatroallascala.org. FIDELIO BY BEETHOVEN 10-23 Dec The official opening of the new La Scala season is on 7 Dec to coincide with the feast day of S. Ambrogio, a public holiday in Milan. Daniel Barenboim conducts La Scala orchestra and choir in this production by English director Deborah Warner. Fidelio was Beethoven’s only opera and it was then revised several times. In this production the part of Leonore is sung by Anja Kampe and Florestan by Klaus Florian Vogt. Teatro alla Scala.

NAPLES

IL TROVATORE BY GIUSEPPE VERDI 12-20 Dec While the Rome Opera house is in disarray (see below) opera lovers might do well to take the train to Naples where the quality and organisation looks more reassuring. The new season at the S. Carlo di Napoli opens in December with Il Trovatore, conducted by its musical director Nicola Luisotti and directed by the Polish director, designer and playwright, Michal Znaniecki in a new production of this Verdi favourite. Znaniecki was the youngest director in history to make his debut at La Scala in 1994. He has directed numerous operas, from baroque to contemporary, and has worked with both Placido Domingo and Jose Cura. S. Carlo di Napoli, www. teatrosancarlo.it.

ROME

RUSALKA BY ANTONIN DVOŘÁK 27 Nov-14 Dec Dvořák’s opera replaces Aida which was to open the Rome opera season before Riccardo Muti decided to give in his notice and 182 members of the orchestra and chorus were dismissed. It will be conducted by Norwegian Eivind Gullberg Jensen – with only a few operas to his name – and directed by Denis Krief, who is also new to Dvořák’s opera. The re-programming is certainly a disappointment and season ticket holders were told in October that they could have a refund. Rusalka is a fairytale about the water nymph of Slavic mythology and is one of the most successful Czech operas but it didn’t become popular abroad until recently. In this production in Rome the Bulgarian soprano Krassimira Stoyanova takes the role of the heroine, which she

Wanted in Rome | 5 November 2014

Andrea De Rosa (see La Fenice below) was responsible for the production of Falstaff that opened the Teatro Stabile season in Turin.

OPERA NOTES The three most important characters for the beauty of their singing in Händel’s Giulio Cesare (20-29 Nov) are Giulio Cesare, Cleopatra and Cornelia, parts taken at Turin’s Teatro Regio by experts in belcanto, Sonia Prina (as Giulio Cesare), Jessica Pratt (as Cleopatra) and Sara Mingardo (as Cornelia), joined also by Maité Beaumont (as Sesto, son of Pompei and Cornelia) and Jud Perry (as Tolomeo, brother of Cleopatra). This production was staged in Paris in 2011 and 2013. La Fenice in Venice opens its season with a new production of Simon Boccanegra by Giuseppe Verdi (22 Nov-6 Dec) directed by Andrea De Rosa (who the public knows from his Norma at the Baths of Caracalla in 2012) and conducted by MyungWhun Chung (who conducted Otello and Tristan und Isolde at the La Fenice for the bi-centenaries of Verdi and Wagner). Verdi wrote Simon Boccanegra in 1857 and then revised it in 1881 with a more refined version characteristic of the composer’s artistic maturity. Simone Piazzola, the young and promising baritone, takes the role of Boccanegra and Giacomo Prestia that of his great enemy Fiesco, Maria Agresti and Francesco Meli sing the parts of the lovers, which they also performed in Riccardo Muti’s Simon Boccanegra in Rome in 2012. Al Teatro Regio di Torino andrà in scena Giulio Cesare di Georg Friedrich Händel (20-29 novembre). Fra i personaggi dell’opera si stagliano dal fondo per importanza e bellezza del canto: Giulio Cesare (il condottiero romano conquistatore dell’Egitto), Cleopatra (la regina egiziana che finisce innamorata di Cesare) e Cornelia (la moglie di Pompeo, avversario politico del conquistatore). Del primo si segnala l’aria “Va tacito e nascosto” con corno concertante, in cui gli avversari sono paragonati al cacciatore che costruisce trappole per la preda. Tra le sei arie di Cleopatra (tutte bellissime) spicca il canto d’amore per Cesare “V’adoro pupille”, il cui fascino incantatore, oltre alla voluttuosità del canto, è dovuto anche alla tiorba, alla villa da gamba e all’arpa che risuonano sognanti in orchestra. Cornelia commuove con l’aria patetica “Priva son d’ogni conforto”, cantata come lamento funebre per l’uccisione di Pompeo. Saranno interpretati rispettivamente da tre affermate “specialiste” del belcanto: Sonia Prina, Jessica Pratt e Sara Mingardo, che avranno come partner anche Maité Beaumont (Sesto, figlio di Cornelia) e Jud Perry (Tolomeo, fratello di Cleopatra). Dirigerà Alessandro De Marchi mentre la regia sarà di Laurent Pelly (ripresa da Laurie Feldman). Lo spettacolo è stato proposto a Parigi nel 2011 e nel 2013. Il Teatro La Fenice di Venezia apre la stagione 2014/15 con un nuovo allestimento di Simon Boccanegra di Giuseppe Verdi (22 novembre – 6 dicembre) per la regia di Andrea De Rosa (che il pubblico romano conosce per una Norma alle Terme di Caracalla nel 2012) e la direzione di Myung-Whun Chung (che per il bicentenario verdiano e wagneriano alla Fenice diresse Otello e Tristan und Isolde). Verdi scrisse Simon Boccanegra nel 1857, poi lo revisionò nel 1881 in favore d’una versione nuova e raffinata per dettagli melodici, armonici e strumentali, tipici della maturità artistica raggiunta. Lo dimostra la scena del consiglio (assente nell’originale), che include la richiesta di pace del protagonista “Plebe, patrizi, popolo”, accorata poeticamente e superba musicalmente. Il ruolo di Boccanegra (prima pirata e poi doge di Genova) sarà sostenuto da Simone Piazzola, un giovane baritono emergente di belle speranze, il suo acerrimo nemico sarà interpretato da Giacomo Prestia. La coppia d’immancabili innamorati sarà affidata a Maria Agresta e Francesco Meli, che l’hanno già sostenuta nel Simon Boccanegra debuttato da Riccardo Muti a Roma nel 2012. Paolo Di Nicola
