October is Italian Heritage and Culture

Month. Take advantage of all the events

that are out there. Don’t forget that we

have our combination Italian Culture and

Thanksgiving social on November 15,

Clinton Martin Park at 6pm.

Christopher Columbus was born 31 Octo-

ber 1451 – and died 20 May 1506) was an

Italian explorer, navigator, and colonizer,

born in the Republic of Genoa, in what is

today northwestern Italy. Under the aus-

pices of the Catholic Monarchs of Spain

and half of the financing coming from

private Italian investors, whom Columbus

had already lined up, he completed four

voyages across the Atlantic Ocean be-

tween 1492 and 1503 that led to general

European awareness of the American con-

tinents.

These voyages marked the beginning of

the European exploration and colonization

of the American Continents, and are thus

of enormous significance in Western his-

tory. Columbus's refusal to accept that the

lands he had visited and claimed for Spain

were not part of Asia might explain, in

part, why the American continent was

named the Florentine explorer Amerigo

Vespucci, and not after Columbus.

October is also the month of castagne

(chestnuts) in Italy, and nothing says

“autunno” more than the warm scent of

roasting chestnuts. Right now the chest-

nuts are maturing in their prickly burrs,

and will soon coat Italy’s country roads,

ready to be collected. However, chestnuts

aren’t just for roasting on an open fire, and

there is no better place to experience first-

hand their wide use than by visiting one of

the many sagre, or food festivals, dedicated

to this humble nut. The little village of Cu-

sano Mutri in Campania’s province of

Benevento puts on one of the area’s biggest

events of the autumn called the Sagra delle

Castagne.

Starting in October, Italy’s many varieties

of mushrooms also take the culinary spot-

light. In the woods of the Molise and

Abruzzo regions, trifolai (truffle hunters)

head out during the cool days with their

dogs in search of one of Italy’s gastronomic

treasures – the white truffle. Called “white

diamonds” due to their prized value, the

white truffles found in these mountainous

regions are only one of the varieties you will

come across this time of year in Italy.

Meanwhile, in the neighboring regions of

Campania and Le Marche as well as many

other regions, the search is on for wild por-

cini mushrooms. Dishes made from truffles

and porcini are plentiful, especially in towns

surrounded by chestnut forests where mush-

rooms typically grow.

Cristoforo Colombo è nato 31 ottobre 1451

- e morto 20 maggio 1506) è stato un esplo-

ratore italiano, navigatore, e colonizzatore,

nato nella Repubblica di Genova, in quella

che è oggi l'Italia nord-occidentale. Sotto gli

auspici del Re Cattolici di Spagna e la metà

del finanziamento proviene da investitori

privati italiani, la quale Colombo aveva già

in fila, ha compiuto quattro viaggi attraverso

l'Oceano Atlantico tra il 1492 e il 1503 che

ha portato alla consapevolezza generale eu-

ropeo del continente Americano.

americano, e sono quindi di enorme importanza

nella storia occidentale. Rifiuto di Colombo ad ac-

cettare che le terre che aveva visitato e ha sostenuto

Happy Columbus Day!

GIUSEPPE VERDI IN MILAN

By Lynn Marino

As we commemorate this year the 200th anniversary of

Giuseppe Verdi ‘s birth, no city reflects the artistic influence

and genius of the great composer more than Milan, Italy, for it

was in Milan where Verdi found fame and it was in Milan

where he died. Tourists quickly pass through the city to see Da

Vinci’s Last Supper, and the superb Duomo, one of the most

magnificent cathedrals in Europe, but so great was the city’s

love and respect for the Maestro, it can be felt everywhere,

even today. For the music lover visiting Milan, a visit to cer-

tain sites are a must to be spiritually transported into the world

of Giuseppe Verdi.

Teatro Alla Scala- (or La Scala)- One of the most renowned

opera and ballet theaters in the world since its opening in 1778.

Verdi came from his home in Busseto at the age of 20 to study

music in Milan, where his talent soon become known . Bar-

tolomeo Merelli, the Director of La Scala, produced Verdi’s

first opera “Oberto” in 1839. During the period Verdi was

working on “Oberto” , tragedy struck. His two children with his

wife Margherita Barezzi died in infancy. The opera was well

received, and he was contracted to do three more, but while

working on the second one, tragedy struck Verdi once again

with the death of his beloved wife. Consumed with grief, he

vowed to give up music, but Merelli encouraged him to perse-

vere, and his next opera, “Nabucco” in 1842, was a huge suc-

cess and made him famous. “Nabucco’s” chorus of the He-

brew slaves “Va , pensiero”, became renowned and symbolic

of the Italian Risorgimento, and inspired Verdi to continue

composing many more operas during his illustrious career. His

grand opera “Aida” opened in Cairo, Egypt, in 1871, but the

European premier was in Milan the next year. One of his

greatest works was the “Requiem Mass” he wrote in honor of

the famous poet, novelist, and fellow patriot Alessandro Man-

zoni, upon his death. A masterpiece of oratorio, it was per-

formed at the Church of Saint Mark in Milan in 1874, on the

first anniversary of Manzoni’s death. The “Verdi Requiem” as

it’s familiarly called now, was proof that Verdi’s talents were

not confined to opera. The La Scala Museum next door to the

Theater, holds a fascinating collection of paintings, musical

instruments, costumes, personal objects and portraits of the

great Italian opera performers and maestros, illustrating the

great history of the La Scala.

Grand Hotel de Milan- On Via Manzoni, near La Scala-

Verdi’s home away from home when in Milan and where he

died on January 27, 1901, a week after suffering a stroke in his

room. It was written that as he lay dying, city officials, out of

great respect, ordered straw to be placed on the pavement of

Via Manzoni to quiet the noise of the carriages as they passed

by the hotel where the beloved Maestro lay The great conduc-

tor Arturo Toscanini conducted a combined orchestra and cho-

rus made up of musicians from every part of Italy during

Verdi’s funeral service in Milan. Even to this day, his funeral

was the largest public assemblage to date in Italy’s history. To

enter the Grand Hotel with its portraits of Verdi and 18th cen-

tury period charm is to feel the Maestro’s presence. There is a

plaque on the outside of the hotel noting it was the site where

Verdi stayed for years and where he died.

Monumental Cemetery - The burial site of wealthy and illus-

trious Milanesi, whose elaborate artistic tombs make it a virtual

open-air sculpture museum, and where Verdi was first buried.

There is a monument to him near the entrance. A month later,

his body was moved to the Casa di Riposo per Musicisti (Rest

Home For Musicians), commonly called Casa Verdi.

Casa Verdi - At Piazza Buonarotti, a rest home for retired

opera singers and musicians established by Verdi in 1894 and

designed by architect Camillo Boito, brother of Verdi’s good

friend, librettist Arrigo Boito. Verdi had stipulated that the

home not take in guests until after he died, therefore, the first

guests arrived in 1902, a year after his own death in 1901.

Verdi and his second wife Giuseppina Streppone are buried in a

crypt on the premises. Casa Verdi is run by a foundation, been

continually in service since it opened, and has provided a home

for over a thousand guests through the years who have devoted

their lives to music. It is open to the public, hosts concert per-

formances on the premises, and has rooms that may be visited

that contain personal memorabilia from the life of Verdi:

clothes from the room at the Grand Hotel where he lived, fur-

niture and objects from his other residences, the spinet on

which he first practiced music as a young boy. Most moving

are plaster casts of Verdi’s hands, and a death mask of his face

made the day after he died. Most interesting is a collection of

photographs of the somber cortege and the crowds following

as Verdi’s body was transported from its first burial site at the

Monumental Cemetery to its final resting place at Casa Verdi.

The guest book of Casa Verdi is a veritable Who’s Who in the

world of politics, arts and music, notable personages from the

world over who have visited to pay homage to the great Maes-

tro throughout the years.
