Sentiremo risuonare queste
parole, ma dove? In Chiesa
o nelra profondita' del nostro
cuore?

Sono anni che Dio ci d~ la
grazia di ascoltare. Sono anni
che noi le accogliamo, 0 almeno dovremino' accoglierle,
con il cuore pieno di buona
volonta' di preghiera, affinche' il Signore Dio ci faccia
veramente entrare nel' significato profondo di queste
parole, con il quale noi. cominciamo la Quaresima.

Dear Y~lUng Friends,
almost as soon as this edition of BACKHILL comes
out, Lent will begin with
Ash Wednesday.
It is a day in which meat
may not be eaten; a day in
which we will have the
ashes on our foreheads; we
will also repeat this on the
first Sunday of Lent.
This sombre gesture appears
.almost to take away the JOY
of life. In fact, it is really
_a sincere gesture which tells
us ,the truth, and the truth

I'amore del prossimo e' pol,;,

e' disperso come la polvere. Tutto qui e' il momento della nostra meditazione e della nostra converSlOne.
o
Cominciamo a capire che
quando siamo nati e' successa una cos!t pleravigliosa
nel mondo. Cioe' siamo entrati noi portando I'immagine di .Dio in un modo che
non c'era prima e non si
ripetera'
piu';
portandola
cioe' nella nostra anima.
Questo significa che siamo
nati con qualche cosa da
fare che Dio stesso ci ha
affidati. Dio ci ha dato la
forza di farlo proprio l)el
giorno del nostro battesimo.
Certo, dobbiamo dire la
verita', sono cose che ci
scappano via dalla testa,
proprio perche' la polvere
del mondo non ce le fa piu,'
vedere chiaramente. E la
polvere del mondo e il
denaro, il potere, I' orgoglio,
la vanita' ecc. E quest a
'polvere, siamo sinceri ce la
abbiamo veramente; sapete,
si nasconde sotto il desiderio della felicita', che e' un
normale
nostro
desiderio,
has come from God. Therefore the truth is good to
know, because it also brings
us God's love.
On Ash Wednesday we will
hear the words - "Remember, man, that you are dust
and to dust you will return".
These words,' according' to
the liturgy of the Church
mean - turn away from sin
and be faithful to the Gospel,
I leave these words for your
meditation, for you to disc~>ver their meaning and I
end this article with a few
molto naturale. e
molto
spontaneo. Invece il deside'rio che ci dovrebbe guidare,
che ci deve guidiue, e'
quello di vole re esse re utili,
cioe' di amare Dio insieme
" ..
a tutti quelli con cui vi"'"
viamo, anche se non li conosciamo. E I'amore di Dio
e' a sorpresa. Quando noi
camminiamo secol)do un progetto e ad un dato momento
il progetto si rompe completamente contro la nostra
volonta' e rompe anche la
nostra vita, allora quello e'
il momento di 'convertirsi.
Convertirsi alia volonta' di
Dio che ci chiede di camminare per, :un'altra stmda.

Sapete, anche il dolore puo'
esse re una polvere che ci
impedisce di vedere Dio; di
vedere cioe' I' am ore di Dio.
E qui non e' che possiamo
fare 'tanti ragionamenti. A
questo punto della nostra
vita ci rimane solo la pteghiera che cL porta la luce
di Dio nella mente e nel
cuore.

Questa luce di
Dio SI
chiama fede.

(1513 AD) who says:-
Life is so generous a giver,

Remove the covering,

Per alcuni critici, iI nuovo
"giovanotto" del Cremlino
e' molto piu' f1essibile dei
suoi predecessori, pronto a
cont'rattare coil l'Ovest e
conseguentemente a parlare
piu' chiaro.
Nel rapporto
consegnato all' AlEA (Agenzia
lnternazionale
per
I~Energia Atomica), l'Unione
Sovietica ha aminesso che
gli uomini e le donne a
cui era stato affidato il
compito di controllare la
centrale nuCleare di Cernobyl sono responsabili del
peggior
incidente
mai
capitato nella storia dei
reattori nuclEiari. Il dram ma
dell'esplosione suI sommergibile sovietico e iI pronto
allarme
dei
responsabili
sovietici stanno a sottolineare quest a nuova corrente
di detente.

oggi nell'Unione Sovietica
chi sbaglia paga (Crime

Per
questa ragione ho sempre

che
gridavano
a

In breve, quel

una serie di gravi errori i
responsabili della centrale
di Cernobyl hanno cereato
di nascondere il danno al
mondo

incluso
il
Cremlino, ma questa ' volta

11 ,primo risale al 25 aprile
quando fu deciso dai tecnici
di ridurre iI Iivello di
potenza del .reattore ·per
fare qualche esperimento.
A questo punto iI discorso
diventa un po' piu' com-'
plicato.
In breve, quel
•
che successe
dopo
fu'
perche' il sistemll di raffredamento era stato staccato,
la produzione di energia
del
reattore
era
stata
ridotta
troppo
rendendo
piu' difficile iI controllo.
. Inoltre, iI f1usso di acqua
era stato diminuito a tal
pumo
da
provocare
iI
surriscaldamento del teattore.
Dato che iI sistema
di raffreddamento di energia
era stato disattivato, in
pochi secondi una tremenda
eseursione di potenza provoco'
due esplosioni
che
risultarano in vari incendi.
Le conseguenze bene 0
mali le sappiamo tutti:
enormi quantita' di particelle e materiale radioattivo
nell'.atmosfera sopra I'Unione Sovietica e nei cieli del
l'Europa dell'Est e Ovest.
I morti fino ad oggi sareb~

ma
quest a cifra, da soli> uit~idea'
minima:
infatti,
degli
esperti
americani
hanno
concluso che piu' di ,5000
persone moriranno di cancro
eausato
dalle
radiazioni.
Inoltre, secondo gli stessi
esperti
statunitensi
le
analisi fatte dai sovi~tici
sarebbero false e incomplete.

a questo punto,
vorrei portare' all'attenzione
di tutti che forse sappiamo
piu' su Cernobyl di quanto
sapessimo di Three Mile
Island, dove qualche anno
orsono si verifico' un' altro
incidente nucleare (1979).
Infatti a parte una questione
rimane: dove si anivera'

I'energia

Qui in Inglilterra si sapra'
solo I'anno prossimo se iI

e' moltiplicato quando iI

capiire di volersi schierare
contro la nucleare.
I Iibri di storia parlano
chiaro e nell'Unione Sovietica quelli che itanno sbagliato hanno sempre pagato.
Fra tutte le incertezze una
cosa e' certa: coloro che
hanno sbagliato a Cernobyl
hanno pagato pero' , ne
passeranno ancora di anni
prima che tutti gli effetti

Dear Readers,
ANDY CAVACIUTI
As always, it is a pleasure
to receive news from a
'paesano' as far away as
America.
Our magazine
BACKHILL finds its way
,to Andy courtesy of his
sister who, by the way,
does good work for our
Church.
.
,
Andy's
family
history
(which follows), is gratefully
received by BACK HILL.
I
have known
Andy
many
, years; he gave good support
to the Coach & Horses

article about our football
boots reminds me of' our

Little Italy who turn out
With army boots, plimsolls
and, if the family was a
little bit better off, football
boots, but that made no
difference:- it' was
the
pride of playing for teams
from 'il quartiere italiano'
'that was important.
,
To Andy and his family,
thank you for your contribution which keeps alive
memories of Little Italy.

Rusteghini(Piacenza) to
Clerkenwell (Londo~)
Born April 16th 1897;in
Rusteghini,
Morfasso
Piacenza, Antonio ,Cavaciuti,
my father, was no different
from any other 'hardworking
Italian.
He was a proud
man with the need ,and
desire ,to provide the best
he could for his family,
and in doing so he became
,part of that very special
breed of Italians who left
their homes
and land in
I"
Italy and eventually became
a part of qerkenwell the Little Italy of London.
The road was never smooth,
in fact, at times it was
quite bumpy, but it appeared to offer more than he
had left in Rusteghini and
he was anxious to maKe a
good life for his sweetheart
of, many years, Caterina
Bellini.
Before he was
able to work in his own
profession,
mosaic
and
terrazzo, like many other
Italians, he worked in the
collieries
in
Wales
and
also served 15 months in
the third battalion of the
Royal Welsh Fusiliers.
Finally
he
returned
to
Italy to marry
Caterina
and start
their
family,
returning to Wales as a
family of three in .1924.
On May 24th 1925, the
family moved to London
and, resided at 4 Leicester
Place, Clerkenwell.
There
were a few further moves
and additions to the family
before' a final move to 29
Calthorpe Street where we
were to live
for
many
years.
We grew up as
part of Clerkenwell, going
to St. Peter's School when
the playgrounds, were in
the
streets,
and
many
times running home on the'
recess only to be dragged'
back to school by an angry'
mother.
In those
days,
weekends
were used to collect empty
"
boxes, which my
friends
and I would chop up and
cart
around. the
homes
selling to the housewives
. for the grand sum of one
penny a sack.
As far as school goes, we
had good teachers, but for
the most part, .we were
not the best students and
had many an ear pulled
not to mention the whackings.
What we were good
at was sport.
In those
days,
the Italians
were
nicknamed the Ice Cream
Boys because most of the
best ice cream was manufactured by the Italians in
the Clerkenwell 'area and
consequently, when as boys
we played football against
other schools,
we
were
also referred to as "the
ice cream boys" but the
"ice cream
boys"
gave
them
hell
many
times.
One of my happiest memories is when the St. Peter's
team played the 'famous
LaystaH Street team and
won a very close game:
we' were tying 1-1 when
St.
Peter's
scored
the
final goal and on that day,
I .played with one football
boot
borrowed
from
a
"Iefty" because my parents
couldn't afford to purchase
boots for me.
.
.-
As I said earlier, there
w 7re many bumps along
the road, but we all survived••
What we always haG was
plenty
of
determination
arid the am b'ition to improve
ourselves which, of course
was
inherited
from
ou:
parents who took the first
step in leaving the land of
their fathers.
This is true
of all' the Italian immigrants.
Unfortunately,along
the
road' of ,life came World
War' 11, a' situation that
'cha!!ged .many lives and
"hurt all of us in the Italian
community
in
London.
Despite having served in
the Royal Welsh Fusiliers
in World War I, my father,

with

Viva
Giuseppe Vefdi. A c?mposer
of. "lyrical ,moments and
passionate melodies"..
,
After
my
evening
with
"Verdi", presented by The
Arlecchino Players, at the
Jeanetta Cochrane Theatre,
on 31st January, I soon
learnt he was far more""
thim that.
L must
compliment' The
Arlecchino Players who not
~>nly had the audacity ,to put
on 'their own work but one
of theatticaldaring with a
iniJltitude
of
changing
sC,en!ls. The play covered
the' ,creative 70 year span
of ,Verdi 's life, encompassing his career, his effect
,on the Risorgimento and. his
.place in the· history of ~is
country.
However, the' professionalism
of the Company and the
'precise direction of Peter
'Bertoncini gave a
'taut
production
and
one .of
which
The
Arlecchino
~hiyers' 'should
b.e justly
pr~ud.
The phiy follows the com'poser's life 'from the early
age,of 18" when he was re'"
fused as .a student by the
Milan Conservatory, to his,
death' in 1901, at the age
of 88. A play which gave
me a fascinating evening
in the theatre, not only
for jts dramatic, but also
informative content.
•
~
>
,.
Inspired by the writing of
Manzoni and fired by the
fervour
,of
Cavour
and
Garibaldi; Verdi personified
the spirit of the Italian
•
nation.
Why do I, as a non-Italian,
now know and understand
this? Precisely because all
this was conveyed in Peter
Bertoncini
and
Giovanna
Giacon'sgripping play, in, . terwoven with an' insight
12
'.
I
into the composer's charactel' and music.
,
'
But mere words are not
enough. My compliments to
a totally c.ommitted cast
from first to last. Although
difficult to single out any
one performance, a special
mention should be made of
John Belli, who was Verdi
from .youth to old agewhat more can one say?
Colin Davey who confidently
led his audience through
Verdi's life as narrator and
publisher
friend.
Yvana
Reeves excelled as Verdi's
mistress and second wife.
The Piave of Hywel Sims
and . the Barezzi of clifis
Ruff also demand special
mention. So too does Francesco Giacon who bravely
undertook the roles of an
elegantly swaggering Merelli
and the architect brother of
the famous libre,ttist 'Arrigo
Boito, movingly played' by
. Antonio Giacon.
,
All this was acted within
a composite set, adequately.
unobtrusive, whilst I was "
tantalised by snatches of
the maestro~ music underplayed in many scenes, in
others, used to g~ea~dra­
matic
effect. It
would
also be' right to mention
the well presented progriimme
which
set
the
scene for the audience and
prepared us for the scope of
things to come.
I
A remarkable 'achievem'ent
to all .those concerned' with
"Verdi" but most especially
Peter Bertoncini who not
only co-wrote and directed
the play, but also designed
and made
'the
beautiful
,
period costumes.
I would like to conclude
this article the same way
as the play. I knew "Verdi"
had made it's mark when
I' joined the cast in Italy's
spiritual anthem
"Va Pen,
siero". An inspiration to
all, including .the creators
of the play.
.
My congratulations arid my
thanks to The Arlecchino
Players for introducing' me
to Giuseppe Verdi - "the
patriot, ,the musician, the

I am most certain that

MUSIC AT THE PROCESSION
London 9.1.87
Dear Editor,
,
I must agree with the reader
in the November '86 issue
who sees the need for band
music at the Italian outdoor,
Procession.
In the old days to hear one
band playing in the distance
and
one
playing
nearby
would rouse the spirits of
'all, especially the participants as they left the church
to face the huge crowd. outside.
Silence is golden but not on
a special day like 'this.
Yours sincerely
Mrs V. Carroll

BAD NEWS FROM ITALY
Harrow 21.1.87
Egregio Direttore,
Le scrivo quest a nota per
esprimere il mio disappunto
ed una certa nota di irritazione al mio primo incontro con la Sua pubblicazione
"BACKHILL" (mese Dic. '86
Genn. '87).
Non intendo entrare'iii discussione sui contenuto degli
articoli di cronaca locale,
bensi' sulle note a pag. 23:
"News from Italy" con circa
15 pezzi di cronaca chiaramente estratti di quotidiani
o settimanali. Non potevate
produrre un'immagine piu'
scialba e biasimante della
societa' italiana odierna.
Se per voi
portare
ad
italiani
all' estero
notizie
importanti del loro paese
di origine, tali da "not to
be missed", vuol dire illuminarli sulle vittime bravate
della Mafia 0 sui dischi
rubati a Bruce Springsteen,
L'articolo si chiama "News
from Italy you may have
missed" (non not, to be
misse(lii);
dunque,
indrca
una
certa
banalita'
0
'superficialita' e francamente
non pretendiamo altro con
• •
questo servlZlo.
per me vuol dire solo un
servizio di disinformazione
e
discriminazione, degno
' . quotl.
dei piu' abberrantl
diani della bassa plebaglia
inglese.
Mi meraviglio che un organo
di
informazione,
peraltro
collegato alia Chiesa italiana
e con; molto probabilmente,
benestare del nostro consolato, non riesca a fomire
notizie tali da fare conoscere ai nostri connazionali
che cos'e' veramente la
reaita' italiana in questo
momento. La nostra economia, la nostra cultura, il
modo di abitare, vestirsi,
divertirsi, i nostri progressi
nel campo della scienza, fisica, medicina (vedi ultimo

Volete mettere questa gente

Per non essere derisi" da
persone ignoranti (che ignorano)!!
Non vorrei sembrare offensivo invitandovi a togliere
il sarcasmo da questo minestrone composto da reminescenze nostalgiche.
Pero', ci sembra che sia
proprio esaggerato il Suo
giu~izio spontaneo che n~n
