history

Nicholas Stanley-Price

AT THE FOOT OF THE PYRAMID Artists have portrayed Rome’s Non-Catholic Cemetery for three centuries

n 1872-73 the English artist Walter Crane spent 18 months on his honeymoon in Italy, most of it in Rome. Influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones, he had already started to illustrate children’s books, the talent for which he is per-

haps best known today. During his long stay here with his bride Mary, he spent many days sketching in the open air. Among the commissions he received while in Rome were two from George Howard, a friend and patron of Burne-Jones and himself an amateur

artist, for views of the graves of John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley in the Protestant Cemetery. Those who visit the graves of the two Romantic poets today know how dissimilar they are. Even if lacking his name, as the poet had requested, the

history headstone of Keats is easy to find. But many visitors fail to locate Shelley’s grave at the first attempt. It is a simple horizontal ledger-stone, situated at the foot of a tower of the old city wall in what Edward Trelawny, when selecting it in 1823, had called “the only interesting spot”. Even if not visually striking, it is nonetheless evocative for lovers of Shelley’s poetry. Crane’s watercolour captures delightfully the peaceful atmosphere of the setting, the tower of the Aurelian wall and the cypress trees planted by Trelawny, but the grave-slab can hardly be seen. Soon after the Cranes had left for England, by chance William Bell Scott also painted the poets’ graves. For Shelley’s he chose a much closer viewpoint and allowed himself to elevate the slab in order to show its inscription. All four paintings by Crane and Scott are in the collections of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford but they will be on display in an exhibition opening this month at the Casa di Goethe in Rome, At the foot of the Pyramid: 300 years of the cemetery for foreigners in Rome. The exhibition, which runs from 22 September to 13 November, presents a short historical survey of how visual artists have responded to the burialground where, for 300 years, nonCatholic foreigners have been laid to rest. Many of the loans have not been shown before in Rome and never together in one venue. All but one of the 43 paintings, drawings and prints date from the 18th and 19th centuries. The exception is strikingly different, an oil painting of his uncle’s grave made by Edvard Munch during his visit to the city in 1927. Most artists who painted or drew this beautiful spot selected it primarily for aesthetic reasons. But some, such as Munch, had a personal motivation, and others had attended the funerals of fellow artists there. Several works in the exhibition were commissions from relatives wishing to have a visual

souvenir of the grave of the husband, 1795. These join the Museo di Roma’s wife or child who had died in a far-off engraving of Bartolomeo Pinelli’s fine land. Paintings of the graves of Keats watercolour of a similar funeral scene and Shelley were often made either – the original in Weimar in Germany on request or speculatively for sale to is unfortunately not allowed to travel. admirers of the poets.

background that had hitherto been the subject of widely disseminated prints. Their photographs, later massreproduced as popular postcards, led to a diminished demand for paintings and drawings. So it is not a recent phenomenon that the camera

has prevailed as the principal means of creating visual souvenirs of the burial ground and of individual graves. For 300 years the cemetery has been an inescapable element of the foreigner’s experience in Rome, not least for those numerous artists who settled in the city. Some of them died young of illness, others peacefully in their adopted home. The graves of over 100 recognised artists from some 20 countries can be found there. The exhibition is a rare opportunity to see how they were inspired by the place that Henry James, writing to his mother, called “that divine little protestant Cemetery where Shelley & Keats lie buried – a place most lovely & solemn & exquisitely full of the traditional Roman quality – with the vast grey pyramid

inserted into the sky on one side & the dark cold cypresses on the other & the light bursting out between them & the whole surrounding landscape swooning away for very picturesqueness.”

Shelley’s grave in the Protestant cemetery at Rome, 1873, by William Bell Scott (1811-1890).

THE CEMETERY IN HISTORY The first non-Catholic known to have been buried on this spot was William Arthur from Edinburgh who died in 1716. Most early graves are of Protestant members of the Stuart court in exile from Britain which arrived in Rome in 1719. Others are of young men on the Grand Tour or visiting artists who fell ill while in the city. After 100 years of use of the Old Cemetery, the papal authorities stopped further burials there and opened a new area nearby (the “New Cemetery”), where the main entrance is today. Extensions were added in the 1850s and the 1890s. Foreign diplomats posted to Rome have always been responsible for the burial-ground, with Prussia, succeeded by Germany in 1870, playing the leading role. Since the 1920s it has come under a board of fourteen ambassadors, increased in 2014 to 14 with the accession of Ireland. The president of the board is currently the ambassador of Canada to Italy, Peter McGovern.

THE CEMETERY TODAY To be buried there today you must be non-Catholic, non-Italian and resident in Italy. However, the Italian Catholic spouses and children of qualifying foreigners also have the right. Since 2008 the director has been Amanda Thursfield, who manages a very small staff and a large group of devoted volunteers. Donations towards the costs of maintaining this private cemetery can be made on the spot by visitors or through its website, www.cemeteryrome.it. Via Caio Cestio 6. Mon-Sat 09.00-17.00, Sun 09.00-13.00.

CULTURAL ACADEMIES

Margaret Stenhouse

THE HUNGARIAN ACADEMY OF ROME

Hungary has always nurtured close ties with Italy

ver since the reign of King Mattias Corvino, the 15thcentury Hungarian national hero, a silver thread of culture and faith has linked Hungary to Italy. Mattias (known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Justâ&#x20AC;?) rivalled his contemporary Lorenzo the Magnificent Medici in the prestige of his Renaissance court, which he filled with Italian philosophers, humanists, literati and artists, thanks also to the influence of his wife, Beatrice, the daughter of the King of Naples. The celebrated Corvino Library which he founded in his capital city, Buda, contained some 3,000 precious volumes and codices and was second in importance only to the Vatican collection. Throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, Hungarian scholars and churchmen flocked to study in the prestigious Italian universities such as Bologna and Padua, and the many vicissitudes that followed during the subsequent centuries of Hungarian history did not dampen the enthusiasm for Italian culture. Even nowadays, despite the hegemony of English, Italian continues to be taught in many Hungarian high schools as a second or third language, and contemporary Hungarian artists still choose to come

to Italy to study the Italian Old Masters. “Italy still exercises a great attraction for Hungarians,” says Antal Molnar, director of the Hungarian Academy in Rome. “A few years ago, there was a proposal to send our art fellows to Berlin, rather than Italy. But the artists themselves objected. Even though Berlin might have provided more contacts with the contemporary art scene, the fellows believed it was more important for them to study the works that constituted the foundation of western art. The Rome programme was reinstated the following year.” Given these premises, it is hardly surprising that the Hungarian government decided to invest in a particularly prestigious seat to house its cultural institute in Italy. The splendid baroque Palazzo Falconieri on Via Giulia was acquired in 1927 to accommodate both the Hungarian Academy and the Hungarian Pontifical Ecclesiastic Institute (the latter still occupies the second floor of the palace). The two institutions have been in symbiosis for well over a century. The origin – if not the actual birth – of the Hungarian Academy can be traced to 1880 when Pope Leo XIII opened the

Secret Archives of the Vatican and it became possible to consult many historical documents that had formerly been unavailable. As a result, leading Hungarian researcher and historian Bishop Vilmos Fraknòi set up a Hungarian Historical Institute in Rome to research the Vatican records. A few years later, he branched out to form an Academy of Fine Arts to accommodate visiting artists. After world war one and the end of the Austro-Hungarian empire, the new Hungarian government was keen to imprint its individual cultural identity on Europe. The Hungarian Academy in Rome was therefore united with the Fraknòi Historical Institute and the Institutum Pontificum Ecclesiasticum Hungaricum to boost all three branches of study – historical research, theology and art. “This is the main difference between us and the other foreign academies,” Molnar explained. “We continue to cover all three disciplines.” The academy has weathered many trials, including the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1950 and the limits imposed on independent activity during the Cold War period. Even in these dif-

ficult times, however, it continued its work, hosting visiting fellows of high calibre and organising cultural activities. “The quality of the fellows themselves allowed them to rise above this situation and make their contribution to European culture.” Today, all these problems are well in the past. The annual programme of events is impressive and many are open to the general public. Art exhibitions, featuring the works of both Hungarian artists in residence and international artists, are held in the rooms on the ground floor, leading off from the inner courtyard with its monumental fountain. Upstairs, concerts, talks, conferences and film screenings are organised in the spacious salon on the piano nobile, next to the celebrated suite of four rooms with their spectacular decorated ceilings – the work of baroque master Francesco Borromini. The music department is a special source of pride. Some 30 concerts are held each year, often with performers from the celebrated Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music, founded in Budapest by Liszt himself. The academy promotes both classical and traditional HungarSeptember 2016 | Wanted in Rome

ian folk music, as well as jazz and contemporary popular compositions. A regular master class is held at the institute by Hungarian soprano Sylvia Sass, whose long career in Italy includes a memorable performance in 1978 as Manon Lescaut at La Scala, along with Placido Domingo. The Falconieri Palace has been carefully preserved by the Hungarian ministry of culture and education, which is responsible for upkeep and restoration. When the wealthy Florentine Falconieri family took over the original building, they considered it inadequate for their elevated station as magistrates of the papal court. Borromini, one of Romeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most acclaimed architects of the period, was commissioned to redesign and expand the edifice in 1646. Highlights include the monumental entrance, the frescoed piano nobile and the loggia crowning the roof, accessible by a winding spiral staircase. This is a sky terrace, decorated with sculptures of herms, that commands a breathtaking 360-degree view over Rome. In the 1930s the adjoining palazzina was added by Hungarian architect Eugenio Faludi to house the many visiting fellows.

2016 is a landmark date for the Hungarian nation as it commemorates the 60th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution when the Hungarian people rebelled against Soviet domination and tried to regain control of their country. The insurgents fought heroically against overwhelming odds, and although the uprising was initially unsuccessful, it opened the first crack in a cast-iron control system that was to collapse eventually in 1989. In addition to its regular cultural programme, the academy will be celebrating the event in October with a series of initiatives, including a photographic exhibition documenting the uprising and an international conference focusing on foreign reactions to the revolution and its aftermath. Hungarian Academy Exhibitions at the Hungarian Academy are open free to the public every day. Visits to the Borromini Rooms and the Loggia can be arranged by prior booking, by contacting accademiadungheria2@gmail.com. For information see website, www. roma.balassiintezet.hu/it.

STREET ART

Federico Borzelli

ALICE NELLA CITTà

Alice Pasquini creates street art in her native Rome and in cities around the world

ike Hop-o’-my-Thumb leaving pebbles to mark the path, Alice has spread her works across the world. But just as in Charles Perrault’s fairy-tale, the artworks lead back to Rome, where the artist was born 36 years ago. Since she was a child, Alice has always drawn children, cats or teenagers in an intimate, dreamy atmosphere in her diary. But the pages became a confining limitation, and she couldn’t resist coming out and sharing her fables with everyone around her. Her journeys took her around the world, painting on house walls to create an art gallery without borders. Back in Civitacampomarano, the village in Molise where she was director of the CVTà Street Art Festival, we interviewed her. Art galleries and museums have brought your artwork indoors, and in some cases street art has been auctioned. The art market has recognised the monetary value of street artists. How do you feel about that? What’s in the spirit of street art, and what isn’t? Is anything painted in a frame a painting? Or just because it’s in a frame, is it therefore not in the spirit

of an avant-garde artistic movement? I don’t think this evolution of a movement is a change for the better or for the worse; it’s just a fact of life. Maybe the artist’s own intentions have changed, too. I think anyone setting out to create street art today hopes to take part in the big festivals, to be shown in galleries, to appear on the covers of art magazines [see cover of this issue] – all aims which at one time weren’t imaginable or even aspirations, it used to be just an act of pure creative generosity. Street art for decades was a synonym of vandalism, while today it’s become a phenomenon that even the institutions have accepted, making spaces available, whole housing blocks or abandoned buildings, so that – thanks to these initiatives – many suburban areas have been revalued and little-known villages have come to the notice of the public. And yet artists, including you, have been sentenced and fined. How do you see this contradiction? The time for galleries, for auctions and for investment by the institutions has been here for quite a while now. But

if on the one hand street art seems to have lost its rebel spirit, sadly the time for condemnation is by no means over. On the other hand, if an artist is invited and paid to create a mural, we shouldn’t really be talking about street art but rather of muralism. In this case nothing is left of the spontaneity typical of this art form. Frankly I don’t see what the rules or professional ethics of a “writer” could be; there’s still a lot of confusion. How can we define it, for example? Free expression? Vandalism? Post-graffiti? Street Art? Art? I don’t think Banksy would call himself a “writer”, and I think some experiences are closer to conceptual art or happenings than to the hip-hop culture. I also don’t think the appearance on the scene of would-be curators or walls painted on commission is always a good thing. Who’s going to decide whether this one is an artist and the other one not? And if it’s only somebody with money who decides, what’s the difference to centuries ago when frescoes were commissioned? There’s still a long way to go, and if it’s true that art speaks to the future, then it will all become clear in the coming years.

William Kentridge said his Triumphs and Laments mural along the Tiber will only be completed once time has left its mark on the work. Street art is obviously at the mercy of atmospheric effects and doesn’t claim to be eternal. Do you agree with the South African artist? Creativity on the street is influenced by many things: the light and colours of the surrounding environment, by the people who pass by and react, but also by the vulnerable surface of the artwork. For me a painting belongs to the place where it was conceived, and it’s very interesting that it evolves like the city evolves once I’ve gone away. You pay more attention to sentiments and emotions than other street artists; your images look like photos in a family album. But this very intimate universe is stuck on a wall and the contrast is striking. Is this a provocation of yours? It’s a necessity more than anything else. In a world dominated by cynicism I’m interested in the moments of life which are universal, concepts that don’t change over time, that aren’t changed by the disSeptember 2016 | Wanted in Rome

STREET ART tance from Moscow to Sydney. I describe everyday moments, instants that represent life for me. I really think the true magic of life is to be found in the way we live each single moment. For example, the chance meeting with a work of street art becomes an intimate and surprising moment for the passer-by. The protagonists of your works are mainly children and adolescents. Who are they? Every wall I paint takes its form in one of the very many sketches I always carry around. My sketch-book is my log-book, a collection of thoughts and emotions that I can then later re-create on a larger scale. Travelling is the fuel for my research based on comparison and exchange. My personal point of view inevitably makes me take a feminine perspective. As an artist I’m interested in investigating human feelings, exploring them through my emotions. This is why there’s always a subconscious autobiographical motivation beyond the choice of a particular subject or of a story to tell. You’ve painted all over the world, your collection is spread over many towns. What relationship do you have with your artwork? I’d call it a complicit but not a possessive relationship. Is there one of your works you’re particularly attached to? If so, which one, and why? I’ve painted on over 2,000 walls in many, many countries. The work I like most is always one in my latest journey, but the satisfaction doesn’t last long. This means I’m always motivated to do something new every day. Painting is my way of staying alive. Experimentation is an essential part of your career. After painting murals you presented a work in 3D. How did that project start? Would you do it again, or is that a phase that’s now over?

Pasquini was recently invited to paint a mural in Salamanca by Spanish artist Pablo S. Herrero and the neighbourhood association Asociación Zoes.

Under Layers is a project that’s still a work in progress, born in collaboration with the photographer Stefano C. Montesi. We wanted to create a captivating experience, a journey inside a painting, somewhere between illusion and reality, going beyond the limits of a wall for the pictorial representation of subjects in two dimensions. The 3D effect is created by photographing the subject, in this case my paintings on various levels, with two cameras at the same time. Only a live shoot, and not a 2D to be converted later into 3D, can guarantee the impact of stereoscopic vision for the human eye. The images are hung at different levels and the viewer has the impression of playing an active role in the artwork. The posters are pleasant on the eye even without glasses, but when they are viewed through anaglyphic 3D glasses they are transformed into a world that comes out of the wall and blurs the line between reality and fantasy. What advice would you give to a young artist just starting out? Use your head. Is there an artist you feel particularly close to? I admire many contemporary artists, but often the ones I admire the most have

little to do with my work. Walking into a Palladian villa decorated by Veronese was certainly an event which profoundly shook my perception of art. What were your most recent projects? In April I held a personal exhibition called I’mperfect Tense in the 44309 Gallery in Dortmund, Germany, followed by a mural in Salamanca, Spain in June, and murals commissioned by the Italian Volleyball Federation, with permission from ATAC, at the Due Ponti train station in Rome. In July I painted a large mural in Pombal, Portugal, at the invitation of the Festival Sete Sóis Sete Luas.

as well as from cultural institutes across Italy. Although produced by artists of the calibre of Bernini, Carracci and Da Vinci, this irreverent form of portraiture began to assert itself as a serious genre in its own right in the 18th century. The exhibition shows the work of three Italian artists from that era: Pier Leone Ghezzi, Carlo Marchionni and Giuseppe Barberi, providing an unusual and detailed insight into society of the time.

The exhibition comprises works of art from across Italy, with highlights including paintings by Guido Reni, Jacopo Bertoia and Pierre Subleyras, as well as a bas-relief by Pietro Bernini, father of Gian Lorenzo. The museum also shows reproductions of two masterpieces that were deemed too precious to leave their homes in Naples and Sansepolcro respectively: the Sette Opere di Misericordia by Caravaggio, and the Polittico della Misericordia by Piero della Francesca.

Ken Domon exhibition at the Ara Pacis. Pioggerella, Atami, 1952‐54.

ROMA POP CITY 60-67 13 July-27 Nov

The start and end dates chosen for the exhibition title comprise phenomena such as the Dolce Vita, Italy’s economic boom, social transformations, the escalation of the war in Vietnam, the cultural revolution in China, which can all be glimpsed in works where the pop tones are complemented by new-dada, neo-metaphysical, pre-minimalist nuances, sometimes with a political slant. Curators Claudio Crescentini, Costantino D’Orazio, Federica Pirani have assembled 102 works by members of the School of Piazza del Popolo – Franco Angeli, Umberto Bignardi, Mario Ceroli, Tano Festa, Giosetta Fioroni, Jannis Kounellis, Sergio Lombardo, Renato Mambor, Gino Marotta, Fabio Mauri, Pino Pascali, Mimmo Rotella, Mario Schifano, Cesare Tacchi – and personalities who worked in related yet different directions, Nanni Balestrini, Gianfranco Baruchello, Claudio Cintoli, Francesco Lo Savio, Titina Maselli, Luca Maria Patella, Giuseppe Uncini. All works are of historical interest, often of high quality, and rarely seen as mostly lent by private collections and artists’ estates; they would have been better appreciated if a documentary apparatus contextualized them, and the display was less cluttered. The remarkable films by Schifano, Angeli, Patella, would have been better seen projected rather than on flat-screens. Nevertheless, the works in Roma Pop City 60-67 powerfully account for a time when Rome was still a world-class artistic centre. MACRO, Via Nizza 138, www.museomacro.org.

CLASSICAL The new music season gets off to a flying start in September with MITO SettembreMusicale in Milan and Turin. Most of the programmes for the 20162017 season get under way between Sept and Oct with the opera seasons starting up a bit later.

MILAN AND TURIN MITO SETTEMBREMUSICA 2-22 Sept 80 classical music concerts in a common programme shared between Milan and Turin. This year for the first time Mito SettembreMusica has chosen a unifying theme of Fathers and Sons. The subject covers not only the influence of the older on the younger generation but also the more specific topic of fathers and sons in musical dynasties, such as the Bach, Mozart and Wagner families. The great loners, Schubert, Brahms and Ravel are also remembered. Some of the world’s top orchestras, choirs, conductors and soloists perform in the two cities, in the established centres of music such as La Scala and Il Teatro Regio, as well as other more unusual locations such as churches, schools, parks and squares. There are 14 premieres, a free concert every night and a special section for the young. One of the ore intriguing topics is “P.D.Q Bach? Did the last “unknown” son of J.S. Bach really exist?” You may find out more on 9 Sept at Teatro dal Verme in Milan as well as hear music by father J.S. Bach. On 9 Sept it’s the turn of the Casa Gabrielle, uncle and nephew, who lived in Venice between

the 16th and 17th centuries. On 9 Sept a lineup of 17 choirs performs with an open session for all in Milan’s Piazza del Duomo in the evening. On 11 Sept the Mozart family are in the limelight. 12 Sept is dedicated to La Peste a Milano in 1576 with music by Charpentier. There are also programmes dedicated to certain instruments, such as the oboe, the flute, percussion, the violin and the string quartet. On 15 Sept and 17 Sept the Wagner family makes its entrance. On 16 Sept there’s a concert of music by composers who influenced Vivaldi and on 18 Sept of those who were influenced by Beethoven. All concerts in Milan are also performed in Turin. See full programme on the Mito SettembreMusica website, www.mitosettembremusica.it.

ROME BOLERO 21-22 Sept Bolero marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of the first White Cloud Studio in New York City, which is the centre of Gyrotonics invented by Juliu Horvath, dancer and choreographer. This work is described as an introspective journey to celebrate the creativity of the universe. Horvath was a dancer with the Romanian State Ballet before he defected, spending six months in a refugee camp in Italy. He was then granted asylum in the US where he danced with the New York City Opera and the Houston Ballet before he was injured. It was then that he devised the Gyrokinesis Method, once called yoga for dancers, and the first White Cloud Studio in New York. Some of the equipment and Gyrotonic exercises invented by Horvath, which combine techniques from swimming, yoga, dance, tai chi and gymnastics, are used in the performance.

Shechter’s choreographies are constantly testing the boundaries of contemporary dance. He is quoted in The Guardian newspaper as saying: “Contemporary dance is a sort of underground club and when people encounter it and discover it, they feel like they own something very special and kind of crazy.” Teatro Argentina, Largo di Torre Argentina 52, www.romaeuropa.net.

Walking Without a Purpose, a story inspired by J. D. Salinger’s classic novel The Catcher in the Rye, by Francesco Gristina, Grade 10, from the American Overseas School of Rome (AOSR). I left the house contemplating where to go for the night. I didn’t want to stay home because that place was hell. Everything about it was phoney. I thought I’d just meet up with some friends in the centre of the city but I wasn’t sure where. I texted two girls I knew and asked if they wanted to go out but they were both busy with their friends so I just let them be. Then I texted my best friend but he lived on the other side of town so I let him be too. In the end I left the house with no idea on what to do. I patiently waited at the bus stop for the bus to arrive, listening to a tune I had found earlier that day. It was quite melancholic really but I didn’t mind; the whole night was melancholic as well. It was one of those nights where the sky is cloudy and bright despite the lack of sunlight. The air was heavy and cold, everything was pretty upsetting. I tried not to think too much about it as I hopped on the bus with my good leg and swung around to reach where the driver was sitting. I was desperately searching for someone to converse with. “Salve,” I said. “Do you know about anything happening in the centre tonight?” “How am I supposed to know? I work on this damn bus all day. And plus, what kind of a question is that, kid?” I knew the bus drivers were always mean but I tried to keep the conversation alive for a little longer. “Oh nothing, I was just asking. No need to get so sore about it,” I blurted out. “Do you know any restaurants I could eat at near Campo de’ Fiori?” “Who knows, kid? I haven’t been there in 15 years maybe. What should I know about that place anyway?”

Then I looked at him, I realised he was in his late 50s and I thought back at how sad his life must have been. I looked at him closely. I saw the continuous sparks in his right eye as we kept passing streetlights on our way to Piazza del Popolo. He looked at the road in a phoney manner. Then I said, “You know, you really are rude.” And as I said that, I got off the bus. I saw the driver flipping me off from inside the bus but I knew I deserved it. I walked through Piazza del Popolo which was deserted at that time of night. That kills me. How can a place like Piazza del Popolo be completely packed with people one moment and empty the next? People really have nothing to do. That kills me. Anyways, I walked to Campo de’ Fiori, very slowly, taking long strides. It was a long walk. Thirty minutes or so. I never liked walking without a purpose. That’s something I’d only do with a girl, walk without a purpose. It’s strange how guys completely A deserted Piazza del Popolo by night.

change their attitude when with a girl. I’m pretty sure every guy in the whole damn world would walk without a purpose for a girl. That’s something girls make you do. They make you love walking without a purpose. I got to Campo and didn’t know what to do really. I sat there doing absolutely nothing for about an hour. A cute girl walked up to me to ask for a cigarette and I happily gave her one. She gave me a big smile and walked away. She didn’t even thank me. But that’s something else girls can do. You always know what they mean when they give you a big smile. That absolutely kills me. I got really bored at one point so I walked into this unknown bar. The bar had a band playing live music. It wasn’t something you could see every night, so I stayed. I like music. I am a music enthusiast, really. I listened to the band play for a while. They had an amazing drummer. They actually played one of my favorite songs, Stairway to Heaven. As soon as they were done playing I

walked up closer to the bartender and asked for something to drink. As I sipped on the bitter alcohol I didn’t even like, I caught the eye of my best friend’s ex girlfriend. She was one of the most annoying people I’ve ever known. She had a really arrogant way of moving and she wasn’t even that fascinating. She was intensely annoying. We had a small conversation and she obviously asked me about my friend. I told her he was in America and she was quite surprised. I didn’t like her at all. I told her I had to go to the bathroom and quickly left, just as the band was starting to play again.

Additionally, students from different grade levels competed in the poetry contest run by the Keats-Shelley House. Our own 11th grader, Sofia Gates, won first prize in the 14-18 year category for her poem, Terrors in the Modern World [published in June edition of Wanted in Rome]. Below is a poem by another AOSR student: Here we publish a poem by Chiara Hampton, Grade 10.

Earth Remains After Death black tides carry the corpse of the old world and the times in which we revered our surroundings and remembered that civilization is but a smear of ink on the pages of the universe, insignificant, cocooned in self importance, the world pays for each arbitrary plane ride and heated home, metal maims the earth, smothering nature’s protests with asphalt so we can say this land is ours, with every building, we forget you may sit on a porch overlooking an ocean of trash and contemplate entitlement, but that house will soon be submerged beneath the water of melted icebergs and ignorance, say it is unworthy of your attention, laugh because we will simply hand our disasters to the next generation on our deathbeds, Ungrateful, brutal, gluttonous fools we are that imagine life a circus and juggle torches in houses of dead trees I lend an ear to common sense and drown in consternation, facing the tasks that pave the road that may never reach recovery, But only for a moment, because I have been told that we are untouchable

Our slow death averts its eyes, grinning, hidden behind solar panels and reassurances and the belief that turning off lights for five minutes can compensate for a history coated in blood and shrouded in smoke, I will condemn this denial, staring at a screen in my brightly lit house, being exactly the same, for I am human and we are liars.
