COMUNlTA'ITALlANA
Due Parole
CariAmici,
Eccoci alIa chiacehierata che ci fa
riprendere in pieno tutta l'attivita'.
Siamo tutti a casa qui a Londra,
piu' 0 meno: sia. noi che gIr inglesi:
non st~ dicendo che ci rivediamo
dopo le vacanze: quest'anno come
sono andate le vacanze? Ma le abbiamo falle queste vacanzei Mi sa
che le abbiamo un po' accorciate 0 le
abbiamo dimenticate per quest'anno.
Se siamo andati in qualche parte
all'estero, certo non abbiamo trovato
tullo facile, ne per noi, ne per gli altri.
Quando in casa abbiamo famiglia,
miltrimoni,. batt~simi, non si puo'
certo fare tullo: e' meglio fare solo
alcune cose, le piu' importanti, e
cercare di farle bene, con tanta
pazienza perche' con la pazienza la
vita cresee, riprcnde la sua forza,
porta iI suo frollo. La nostra pazienza
nella vita in tUlli i suoi aspelli
matriali e spirituali, e' la nostra fede
in Dio: cioe' la nostra fede nella
pazienza di Dio..
Ed e' bella la pazienza di Dio
perche' ci fa capire tante cose della
nostra vita. Ci fa meditare proprio su
quello che faceiamo. Guarda Dio
come e' paziente. Sono passati
duemila anni da quando ha annunnciato iI suo Regno di giustizia e di
pace, ed iI traguardo sembra tanto
lontano, come a noi sembra lontana la
nostra pace. Ma iI Signore Dio non ci
risponde. Ci prende pero' e ci porta a
vedere un campo, dove c'e' un
granello di senapa, che diventera' un
Padre Roberto Russo
grande albero. Poi ci porta a vedere
una donna di casa, che ha messo iI
Iievito nella pasta e aspetta prima che
tullo sia Iievitato.
L'insegnamento e' chiaro: ci sono
cose che si possono fare in fretta e ci
sono cose che vengono bene solo se
amore. E allora la prima cosa che tutti
dobbiamo fare e' quella di essere
pazienti. Non possiamo avere un
mondo in pace, non possiamo avere
una Chiesa santa, non possiamo avere
la farniglia perfetta. Dobbiamo essere
giusti e pieni di misericordia e dobbiamo avere fede in Dio,
nella bonta' di Dio che
e' onnipotente e che
portera' iI bene sopra
ogni cosa.
Noi dobbiamo avere
fede in Dio. Non dobbiamo avcre fede nel
nostro orgoglio. Dio e'
paziente, noi invece
vogliamo cambiare
subito tullo, con forza,
con falsa intelligenza,
con tulle quelle virtu'
che non sono di Dio,
perche' da Dio viene
I'amore, la pazienza, la
misericordia, I'aiuto.
Dio cammina nel
e'meglio di farle bene,. che fare le cose in freua
mondo insieme con iI
vengono falle adagio. La crescita di male; alIa fine vincera' iI suo bene.
una persona e' cosi': richiede tempo e Noi siamo uniti a Dio, camminiamo
pazienza. Noi dobbiamo avere tempo con Lui e preghiamo con Lui. Abe pazienza per noi stessi. Dio ei vuole biamo quindi pazienza con tUllO e con
tanto bene, vuole che cntriamo nella tUlli, con tulle le persone del mondo e
sua pazienza: perche' quello che Dio con tulle le allivita' del mondo. E'
vuole fare e' meraviglioso: Dio vuole Dio presente in tullo, e' Dio che ci
creare una persona nuova. Le persone guarda, e' Dio che ci ama, e' Dio che
nuove siamo noi: noi con la pazienza fa e che crea, con iI nostro aiuto, se
di Dio e con la nostra pazienza, con la pero' entriamo nella sua vita con la
Iiberta' di Dio e con la nostra Iiberta', nostra preghiera.
con I'amore di Dio e con iI nostro

I'd also like to say "thanks", Lord. I've quite enjoyed

Si guadagna e si risparmia
Bologna e MiJano sono le piu'

provincia che rispannia di piu'. A
Verona impcrano i consumisli. E'
questa I'immagine (bensi' i dali risalgano al 1991) che I'istituto Tagliacarne ha diffuso con la pubblicazionc del "Rapporto sui reddito delle
famiglie". Un'indagine che pcrmette
di mettere a fuoco con prccisione iJ
"peso" del portamonete degli italiani.
In vetta alia montagna di cifrc
elaborate dalla ricerea delI'islituto che
fa capo all'Unioncamere, emerge
sazio e soddisfatto iI eittadino bolognese: e' lui che in media, ogni anno,
ha a disposizione un rcddito pari a 26
milioni e 800 mila lire, piu' del
doppio delle disponibilita' medie
degli abitanti di Brindisi, citta' ultima
in c1assifica.
Per trovarc iI primo centro meridionale, nella c1assifica per reddilo pro
capita, bisogna scenderc molto piu' in
giu' e arrivarc fino al 53csimo posto
dove figura la provincia di Pescara e
dove iI rcddito disponibiJe in media

ine she was a constant visitor to
the little welfare in Pine Street!
To cut a long story short, during one of my many sorties into
the archives at the Finsbury Library in SI. John Street, there was
the photograph again, alongside
two groups taken on the same occasion. There she was, I was righl,
in the third row, third from thc'
lefl. The poser for Famiglia Bcsagni, is which of therri:is the baby
that she's holding? Bruno, my husband, thinks that it's him, because
it's not a particularly pretty baby
and he was reputed to have been
an ugly baby, (his words not
mine). However, I showed the
photos to a couple of people at the
Procession, and it seems more
likely that it was taken in the year
1927, in which case it was probably his sister Lidia.
What a wonderful l1.1y that
must have been for the mammas
from "11 Quartiere" to know that
there was going to be an Il.1lian
doctor in attendance. It must have
been a nightmare for them when
they were worried, to convey their
problems to people who, however
caring, couldn't understand them.
Think of the infant mOr!.1lity rate
in those early years. Diseases that
are extinct today were rife in the
overcrowded insanilary conditions
of the time.
I was pleased to nole, that, in
spile of the struggle that it must
have been raising their young
families in the environment of "11
Quartiere", how well dressed and
well shod the children sealed in
the front of the group were.

The School photograph. If you
remember, Educated Evans, Shorty
or the Ciseo Kid, then you were
probably in Class 3 at St. Peter's
Italian School in the emly thirties.
(Sce photo right).
Let's hem from you.
I must thank the Finsbury Library for supplying the Pine Street
Welfare photos and the Famiglia
Nastri for the school photo.
Arrivederci.

RIVJSl'A DELLA COMUNITA'ITALIANA
L'imbarco dei muli
L'imbarco dei muli mi e' stato
veramente impresso e it ricordo mi fa
rivivere ancora quei momenti di unica
occasione mai vista prima. In quel
gennaio del 1942 it freddo era intenso, e it gelido faccva turbinare
nevischio sullungo mare"del porto,di
Bari. Avevano certamente capito -che
era successo qualcosa di non bello, di
strano d'inconsueto. Si e' vero,
avevano vicino it loro, master' a cui
erano legati da un senso di fiducia di
affetto, obbedienti e disciplinati, ma it
farsi sollevare da terra era veramente
una cosa nuova e quindi cercavono di
opporsi, sgambettando;
La voce del master ccrcava con
parole di ordine e di comando a
calmare -it scnso di paura. 11 mulo, a
udire questa voce familiarc si convinccva che non era la fine e che
nella vita di soldato ci si deve
aspettarsene di tutti i colori.
10 Mulo, quadrupede, con it mio
scnso innato di esperto, guidavo sicuro le penne nere. 10 che sono it
vero amico degli alpini. Loro, sono
tutto per mc, sono la mia vita. 11 mio
Master, a cui sono devoto come un
cucciolo, mi fa carezze, mi da oltre
alIa musetta persino dei pczzi di pane
dalla sua razione. Questo mi fa proprio capire che mi uol veramente bene.
In fondo, e' proprio questo it mio
mondo. Vorrei tanto poter parlarc e
dirgli di contare su di me, ma questo
non e' possibile perche' sono un
mulo, un quadrupede, pero' vedo e
capisco tutto e le carezze mi danno un
piacere da non dire. Vorrei tanto ,poter
contracambiare queste dimostrazioni
di bene, ma come devo fare? Si e'
vero, qualche volta mi scappa di
strusciare it muso vicino alia sua
persona, procurandomi immensa soddisfazione ma mi sembra di esagerare
e penso anche che questo non sarebbe
altro chc una dimostrazione di de'
bolezza.
Non voglio lasciarmi trasportare
da queste assurde conclusioni. 10 sono
forte e basta. 11 mio master mi
ammira, mi stima, mi rispclta; non se
ne approfitta mai con un carico'
eccessivo c questo mi lega scmpre di
piu' al dovere con la mia totale
ubbedienza, aI sistema e alia disciplina degli Alpini.
Quindi, devo capire una volta per
scmpre che negli Alpini e' piu' di un
pivilegio appartenerci e sc faccio
I'esame di coscienza vengo, a confermarc che non esiste pOsto migliore.
Ma questa openizione, di sollevarmi
nell'aria; mi ha veramente innervosito. Ho chiuso gli occhi per non
vedere che tutti gli altri rimanevano a
terra. 'Con la, testa picna di pensieri
disordinati, un lieve sobbalzo mi ha
fatto 'capire di esscrmi fermato; ho
socchiuso appena appena g1i occhi per
rendermi conto e avere un'idea reale
della situazione, ma 10 spettacolo che
mi si e' presentato, mi ha paralizzato.
Ero tutto un brivido, intomo a me non
vedevo' piu' nessuno; ad un,lato in
lontananza vedevo nient'altro che acqua. In uno stato di panico ho richiuso
gli occhi, proponendomi questa volta
di non aprirli piu'. Mi era dimenticato
del freddo che c'era, ma tutto ad un
tatto 10 perccpi' nella sua completa
intensita'.
Ad un tratto qualcosa si e' mosso.
Con gli occhi semprc chiusi ho scntito
it mio cuore battere dentro di me
come non avevo mai scntito prima.
Questo ccrtamente vuol dire paura. Si,
avevo scmpre qualcosa da imparare,
sebbene ero convinto di esscre nel
gruppo it piu' in gamba, per la mia
forza e la mia intelligenza.
Oli alpini mi conoscono e mi
chiamamimo per nome, "ei Rosco,
forza Rosco". Mi passano vicino e
non mancano di farmi una carezza.
Quanti pensieri e quanti ricordi ono
ammassati nella mia mente. Qualcosa
si muove, ma sono talmente sopra
pensiero e intontito che mi sono
dimenticalo di esscre sospeso nell'aria
come un Ciondolo. Si, qualcosa si
muove verament. I miei scnsi perccpiscono un particolare" cambiamenta; it freddo e' ccssa'to e, it vento
non si diverte piu' nel volermi congelare e giocare con la mia criniera. Ora
mi scnto molto meglio, ma altrattanto
insicuro, e dovrei dccidermi e pren-
Egidio Badini
dere una decisione: gli occhi Ii devo
scmpre tenere chiusi, 0 cercarc di
diventarc nOrrna1e una volta per scmpre? A questo interrogativo ho toccalO
terra.
Ho aperto gli occhi e un brivido
mi scorsc tutto dalla coda alle orecchie: 11 cuore mi batteva ancora forte
quando scnti'una mano appoggiarsi
'SU di me che mi portava alIa realta'. 11
sangue e' tomato a sco~re nelle mie
vene e le cinghie che mi fasciavono
mi sono state tolte: ero libcro.
Finalmente potevo guardarrni in
giro e rendermi conto di dove mi
avevano portato: un posto strano, un
posto scnza porta, scnza finestre, 'piu'
tetro di una prigione. Ma, non sara'
per caso una tomba? Non avevo
ancora tenuto conto del rumore intomo e sopra di mc, una via e vai
incredibite. 11 mondo era drasticamente cambiato. Questa stalla cosi'
diversa da tutte le prcccdenti, non era
per me per niente piaccvole, ma da
quando in poi un soldalo si sceglie lui
stesso it posto per dormire?
Non sapevo proprio che cosa stava
succedendo, ma se in questa operazionc, c'era qualcosa 'di' veramente
nuovo vuoleva dire che mi ero anche
arricchito di nuova esperienza. Questo
mi consolava, e poi sapevo anche che
qua' in giro c'era pure it mio master,
che sarcbbe vemito a vederrni. Ho
deciso di mettere it cuore in pace e
non pensarci piu', Pero', I'odore e it
caldo in questa temporanea stalla
aumentava la mia stanchczza e mi
sono addormentalo.
Ho sognalo di quando era ancora
giovanissimo che poppavo it latte
dalla mamma, che a brevi intervalli
mi concedeva abbondante con
dedizione e tanto amore. Ho sognato
le lunghe marcc invenali con gli
alpini e i bivacchi all'aperto, uno
vicino all'altro per tenersi caldo. Ho
sognato le alte vette bianche che
toccavono it cielo e le gioiose marce
del rientro in scde; e ho sognalo gli
alpini, allegri, che cantavano le loro
tradizionali e bcllissime canzoni delI'arma. Ho sognalo la mia fortuna, la
mia ricchezza, le sfilate in completo
assetto, prcccdute dall'inconparabile
fanfara.
Tutto questo, avvolgeva iI mio
cuore con inmensa felicita',

Olive Besagni
Another Procession has come and gone, another year has slipped by. Where do the years go?
.I'm giving myself an extended break from my stories this month. Time being of the essence, what with the Mazzini
GaribaIdi Annual Scampagnalli in July, an event which, I might add, Brono and I, my children and grandchildren
wouldn't miss for the world. Plus the Procession of Our Lady of Mount Cannel, the month's break that the volunteer
contributors toBACKHILL are granted by. the Ed has gone in what seems like a weekend.
So, ·ieader, ,L thought that you would be interested in these photographs. I'm relying onyou readers, to scan 'the
photos; look for •your nonna, your
.'" .
mamma or zia.·
Pine Street-Welfare
The photos were taken either in
the year 1927 or in the early thirties.
Let me know if you recognise any
relatives, via BACKHILL, because it
would be nice to know exactly what
year this is,'in what must have been a
momentous occasion for mammas of
"n Quartiere Italiano ".
I first spotted the photo on the
next page top right in an exhibition of
photographs' of Clerkenwell,. I
thought, that of the two' mammas
reading the notice, that the lady in the
hat could be my late moiher~in-Iaw,
Signora Anita Besagni. There was a
strong possibility that it was her, as
she had given birth to ten babies in
the years that spanned the early twenties into the forties. As you can imag-

Warth Mill, Bury, a name which
of the British Italian .Community as a
centre for detainees in 1940 - is again
in the.news. Messrs. Macpherson, the
present owners, after having occupied
the building for something like forty
years, .have announced plans to switch'
paint production to 'company owned
plants in other places. At a time when
jobs are scarce, locals are anxiously
speculating whether some other industrialist might be prepared to take over
the premises and put them to some
local MP was informed it could easily
be adapted'to house European Voluntary Workers. The last 'of the POWs
had obviously left by then, a time
when British Industry was desperately
short of manpower. Since acquiring
the building, Messrs. Macpherson
have added much to the premises and
renovated the older sections. The
surrounding grounds have been landscaped in an imaginative Way, while
the River Irwell, which at one time
resembled an open scwer has been
improved considerably, giving the
other use. Whatever may happen, the
departure of Macphersons marks the
end of yct another chapter in the
history of Warth Mill.
Built originally for a collon manufacturer in 1860, the mill was engaged
in the textile trade until the 1930s
when it was closed. The authorities
acquired the premises early' in 1940
and first used it as a camp for
Germand and Austrians; these were
replaced by Italians in June 1940.
Among the very first of the latter
group was a Fr.(now Monsignor)
Gaetano Rossi, of Glasgow, his detention putting an abrupt end to his
vacation at Lytham SI. Annes. His
impressions of this episode can be
read in his Memories of 1940.
For most of World War 11, Warth
mill seems to have been occupied by
prisoners of war, though in 1948 a
whole area a more pleasing appearance. Labels SUch as 'dark satanic
mill' or even 'Wrath Mill' sometimeS.
applied by the unhappy inmates, are
no longer valid.
Not far from Warth, along the
River Irwell, the site of another
former camp at Burrs is also undergoing a transformation. Once a textile
community, during World War 11
Burrs was adapted for use as a POW
camp and later housed co-operators or
EVWs: it now forms the centre piece
for a country park. Although not· as
well known as Warth, Burrs briefly
made the news headlines in the days
of the second' world War because of
the efforts of four Italian POWs to
rescue two local child "Cn from the
River Irwell. Ca(herin~ and Betty
Goodwin, aged five and ten respectively, were saved, while Santo Verde,
has been etched in the consciousness
14
). Dunleavy
who assisted in their rescue, lost his
life.
Press reports at the time related
how the two sisters paddling in the
Irwell, got into difficulties. Verde,
along with three companions, Salvatore Lo Popolo. Enrieo de Nunzio,
and Pasquale Marocco, with little
consideration for their own safety, sct
about trying to .. rescue the two girls.
Wearing his boots. trousers and shirt,
Verde 'plunged into ·the water, swimming towards the two girls who were
about fifty yards from the bank.
Verde managed to reach Belly' and
started to push her with one hand
towards an island, some seventy or
eighty feet away. Having covered part
of the distance he reached the point
where the current was at its strongest;
here he was seen to throw up his arms
and disappear below the suface.
The child Verde had been assisting was helped to safety by MarOeco
who then joined in the allempts to
find Verde. He was thwarted in this
by the depth of the 'river, about fifteen
feet, .and the murkY water, which
made it impossible to find Verde. De
Nunzio joined in the efforts to locate
Verde but found' the current was' too
strong for him and he had to give up.
Liguori went into the water four times
to try and find Verde butio no avail,
the depth of the water and the
discolouration making it an impossible task. Even so he persisted, later
entering the river secured by a wire,
though again without success. Eventually the body was recovered with the
aid of grappling irons and despite
attempts at resuscitatio... ,he was certified dead at the local·hospital.
. Catherine Goodwin in the' meantime, had been brought to safety
thanks to the efforts of local man,
Albert Poxton. who had previously
rescued children from the same river.
Until this incident there had been
little in the life of Santo Verde to
distinguish' him from millions of his
generation.
Born at San Antimo. Naples in
1918, he had worked on the I:md prior
to joining the Italian army. Captured
in Libya he was brought to this
country and in 1945 he was employed

The story of Santo Verde, worthy
of inclusion in any history of the
Italians in modem Britain, illustrates
the change whieh had overcome British attitudes towards Italians in the
space of five years. The suspicion,
even hostility displayed in 1940, had
been replaced by greater toleration
even cordiality in some cases by
1945. If the internment policy of
whieh Warth Mill had been a symbol
had been designed to drive a wedge
between Britons and Italians then by
1945 it had obviously failed. By the
war's end there Were more Italians
than ever in Britain. What is more,
given the long-drawn out campaign in
Italy, British'forces 'had been able to

people at first hand. Evidence suggests the experience proved to be
mutually advantageous. The Warth
Mill episode, whieh caused so mueh
pain and anxiety early in the war had
given way by 1945 to co-operation
and sympathy such as was seen at
Burrs.

Dear Editor.
We would be very pleased if you could convey our gratitude to all those who helped raise £1,650.00 in memory of
our Giuseppe Solari. As you may know Giuseppe died in July after a year's illness. His pain was cased by the help and
care of Bamet General Hospital and, towards the end, the North London Hospice. Most of all wc would like to thank
his friends who were there for him during his illness and who gave him their strength arid love.
Yours

Dear Sir,
You very kindly printed my leller
concerning /hmily history in your
May issue. 1 did, about the same time
ask for help in tracing ancestors in a
magazine called "Family Trcc". I
reccived about 20 lellers asking for
help from people in a similar shuation. Most of these are people whose
ancestors lived 50 years or more ago.
Most married English partners so do
not spc.1k Italian.
Amongst the lellers I received was
one from a woman in America who
32
told me that on her return to England
she is going to start an AnglolItalian
Family History Soeiety. This is obviously good news for those of us trying
to trace our roots in Italy. These
S<icieteies are not usually run for a
profit but as a self-help group. It
occurred to me. that your magazine
might keepbaek issues. Is this so?
How long have you been publishing
it?
I· answered most of the cries of
help by wroting back telling them of
"Little Italy"· where I grew up and of
BACKHILL. I recently bought a surname index of the Census carried out
in 1851 in those areas and was able to
help with the names· Colia, Anloni

and Pedrazoli. Along the way, I saw
others, like Ferrari, Molinari, Castiglioni, Franchi, Belli, Bemi, Conti,
Ghirandani, Orsi and I even came
across a Faldo - could this be an
ancestor of the famous Nick?
Your sincerely,
Linda Fauani
Dear Linda,
The proposed society you refer to
would be certain to provoke a very
interested response from our readers:

Historical Note. It is the youngest
of the major world religions (about
500 years) and formed as a breakaway from Hinduism and the caste
system. For reasons of self preservation from invaders, Sikhs have build
up a warrior tradition.
Sikhs arc followers of the teachings of 10 Gurus; Sikhism teaches the
unity of God,
the equality of
all men and
women, their
duty to offer
devotion to
God, the belief in reincarnation and
liberation
through meditation and union with God.

Worship - Most Sikhs will begin the
day with an early morning bath,
followed by prayer, meditation and
hymns. Most will pray again in the
evening before going to bed. Congregational worship is important and may
be led by any respected member of
the Sikh community.
Other Points
On entering a gurdwara the head
should be covered and the shoes
removed. Remove all smoking requisites.
At the conclusion of other ceremonies and invariably when visiting a
gurdwara the visitor is offered spiced
sweetmeat (kura prashad) or other
ceremonial food as a token of friendship.

COMUNITA'ITALTANA
Art lives
Boccaccio
Giovanni Boccaccio was born perhaps in Paris, perhaps in Ccnaldo,
within the period 1312-1314.
He wrote' Italian lyrics frequently;
throughout his life. His lyric vcin was
not deep, and his Rime have little
individual character. Dantesque and
Pctrarchan motifs are imitated frcely,
and much use is made of classic
names.
His several early works in Italian,
listed in what is very probably the
order of their composition are as
follows:
'
1336-38 'Caccia di Diana
1337-39 Filoeolo
1339-40 Filostrato
1340-42 Teseida
1341-42 Ameto
1342-43 Amorosa visione
1344-46 Fiammetta
1346-49 Ninfale fiesolano
It is obvious that Boccaccio, as a
writer, was remarkably versatile, and
that he was to an extraordinary extent
a literary pioneer. With the Filocolo,
though it is naive in many respects,
Boccaccio enters definitely the area
of literary achievement. The tale
grows, under his eager and industrious
pen, from minstrel brevity to a length
approaching that of the Dccameron.
The eentral' story is told with abundant verbiage and is adorned with
many inserted episodes.
In the Roman di Troie, Boccaccio's interest is not in the plot, as it
had been in the Riloeolo, but in thesc
three persons Troiolo, Criseida, and
Pandaro, whom he seeks to present as
idc.1l types. Troiolo is for him the
ideal lover, Criseida the ideal ladylove, and Pandaro the ideal friend.
Thc story, then, is one of love and
friendship; and the development of
the friendship theme is on the same
level of imponancc as the development of the themc of love.
As a work of art the Filostrato is
definitely superior to the Filocolo, not.
only in its concentration on persons,
but in its unity and in its style. There
arc no irrelevant episodes, and no
passages of superfluous adornment.
The Teseida was a much more
ambitious undertaking. Dante had
said, in the Dc vulgari eloquentia, that
no Italian had yet won distinction as a
poet of arms: Boccaccio set out
Seltembre 93
EH. Wilkins
deliberately to win such distinction.
His p<>cm was to be definitely an epic.
Though the background of the Teseida is amply martial, the foreground
is filled with a romance which seems
to have been essentially Boccaccio's
own creation.
The Amorosa visione is an incoherent allegory, intended to signify
the ascent, through love, from the life
of the senses to the life of the spirit.
The poet, with a majestic lady as
guide, comes to a wall in which there
are two gates: a narrow gate, leading
to eternal peace. and a wide gate,
leading to earthly happiness.
TIle Amorosa visione has the dubious distinction of being the world's
hugest acrostic. Boccaccio first wrote
three sonnets, which together contain
about 1500 letters, and then so wrote
his poem that the initials of the
suc=ssive tercets and single final
lines of his fifty capitoli correspond
exactly to the letters of the sonnets.
Sh akespe are's
Cymbeline
and All's
Well That
Ends Well
inspired
by Doecacc;o.
Ninfale ficsolano is the best of
Boccaccio's poems, in the clarity of
the narrative, in the simplieity and
strength of its emotions, in the beauty
of some of its scenes, and in the fresh
lyric quality of many of the octaves a quality at times very close to that of
folk poetry. If it were not for the
execrably bad taste of a very few
stanzas, the Ninfale would be one of
the most charming of all idylls.
But Boccaccio's greatest achievement of this period was the Dccameron, the most famous of the world's
hundreds of collections of short stories_ It moves from the terror of the
Black Death, deseribed at length and
in vivid detail, to the placid relief of
joyous villa girdens. Tcn young people go first to one villa then to
another, spending in all two weeks in
the two retreats. For each of these ten
days onc of the company is chosen to
serve as king or qucen and eaeh tells
a story on each day.
The stories are told extremely
well. They are well introduced, the
plots excite and satisfy' curiosity, the
settings are clearly visualized, the
dialogue is good, the narrative moves
to a definite point of conclusion.
The Dccameron is in,'ihe main a
book of laughter - lahghter that runs
the full gamut from gentle merriment
to raucous obscenity. Yet the changes
of mood are so frequent, and there is
here and there so much seriousness,
that there is no monotony.
Among, the most famous individual stories are those of The Three
Rings, Bernabo' of Genoa (the Cyrnbeline story), GilIette of Narbonne
(the All's Well That Ends Well story)
and The Patient Griselda.
The influence of the Decameron
has been extraordinarily great. Among
the English, Irish, and American writers who have made use of material
derived directly or indirectly from the
Dccameron are Grccne, Shakespeare,
Ben .1onson, F1etcher, Dryden, Swift,
Pope, Godlsmith, Byron, ,Keats, Tennyson, George Eliot and Longfellow.
Boccaccio's last important writings in Italian were a Trattatello in
laude di Dante and an incomplete
commentary on the Divine Comedy.
The Trattatello is a eulogy, not a
biography and it is notable both for its
expression of Boccaccio's ardent admiration of Dante and for a digression
on the nature of poetrY.
In one of his last works Boccaccio
makes a vigourous defence on poetrY:
"For poetry, which the negligent
and the ignorant despise, is a ccrtain
fervour of exquisite invention, and of
the eloquent expression, in speech or
writing, of what you have invented.
This fervour, which comes from the
bosom of God, is granted at birth, I
believe, to only a few minds: wherefore since it is so wondrous a thing,
poets have always been very rare. The
effects of this fervour are sublime, as
thus: it arouses in the mind a desire
for utterance; and it leads to the
devising of new and beautiful inventions, to the orderly composing of
what had been devised, to the adornment of the composition with a new
fabric of words and sentences, and to
the covering of truth \\ith a becoming
veil of fiction.·

There have been some extraordinary events this cricket season. Ted
Dexter has questioned the position of
the planets on the astrological charts
as a possible explanation for the poor
performance of our national sides.
Even more remarkable is the comment
his manager, Keith Fletcher, made
that really there was not very much
difference between the two sides apart
·from the rub of the green going the
Aussie's way. That may be what he
would like to think. It was certainly
what I thought before the series
began. But how anyone can seriously
proffer that statement when at the
time. of dictating this article before
the Oval Test England are 4-0 do\VR
in the five matches played, I· rcally do
not know. Was he at Lords to witness
four Australian wickets falling in two
days only to sce as many English
timbers tumble in one session between lunch and tca?
But before my regular readers
come to the conclusion that I am
about to embark upon another seleetor
bashing exercise may I ·immediately
declare some sympathy for the responsible men this summer.
.
Fletcher commented that the first
six in the batting line up for the initial
two tests were probably the best
players in England and save for one
notable exception, it is hard to disagree radically with that view point.
Gooch, Atherton, Gatting, Smith, Hick
and Steward would have been names
fcaturing on most pundit's lists. Taking into account the leg spin risk of
Warne, however, it was difficult to
understand why no. left hander was
included and the omission of Gower
seemed positively perverse.
At 2-0 down, it was decided that
drastic action was required. The cry
went out - we must have new blood.
L.'thwClI, Thorpc, and Hussain wcre
drafted in to the batting order. Out
went the old guard of Gatting and
Hick. Hick's demotion was regrett.,ble
as his best chance to establish himself
as a Test player was against Aussie
spin rather than Caribbean pace.
I must say I thought Hussain was
very lucky to get the <:.,11 ahc.,d of
Maynard and L.,thwell instc.,d of
Glamorgan's Morris who just happened to be another left hander.
Lathwell is a little bit more of a
worry. Having bcen picked for the
one day squad, it is a pity that when
England' were 2-0 down, he was not
blooded for the third match. At that
time he was bang on form.
It is just as dangerous to blood
38
RiChard Evans
young talent too soon as it is as to
keep a player languishing in the
reservesl Surely these dificiencies
should have been apparent to our test
selectors and addressed by the player
before plunging him in to the Ashes
cauldron? From everything I have
heard, L:lthwell is a promising test
player of the future but I would
advocate taking . things very slowly
with him. I have always been against
wholesale changes in a team. Evolution •should be the order of the day
with young blood constantly challenging for places but the side always
maintaining a balance betwcen maturity and youth.
For me, there have been two
alarming features of this Ashes series.
First, I happen to believe the Australian team is not that good. They started
the tour with McDermott as their
main strike bowler. He was rushed to
hospital during the second test and
has not been able to take any part
since. This mc.,nt that at Lord's,
Australia only had Hughes as a fast
bowler aided by the spinners May and
Warne. They had to make do with the
Waugh brothers as bowlers in order to
supplement the attack. In spite of this
they ran through an experienced English batting line up with little problem. What will our boys do when they
face a full five man Test attack?
Secondly, England just do not look
capable of bowling out any batting
side. Where is the penetration to come
from? Caddick, IIIott, Bicknell, Foster, DeFreitas, MeCague have all been
tried and found wanting in some
respect. What are they going to do on
the fast West Indian pitches? Incidentally, I thought the Australian complaints about the selection of MeCague bordered on hypocrisy. We are
a cosmopolitan society and cricket
merely reflects that fact.
In the off spin department such
had a fine game in the first test,
although I have to say that Glamor-
gan's Croft would have been a more
adventurous choice. Emburcy was recalled so that England played two off
spinners in the fifth test rather than
the left armer who would have moved
the baIl away from the right handed
batsmen.
Atherton (see photo) was correctly
chosen to captain the side when
Gooch resigned and Dexter has now
gone. There is talk that he will be
replaced by Mike Smith of Warwickshire but will this be more of the
same? I read a very interesting article
in The Times defending Dcxter on the
grounds that his role was largely
misunderstood. He had a ~rcater responsibility· for English cncket than
simply picking the test side and
indced tended not to interfere in the
selection process. Which was left to
Fletcher and Gooch. Undoubtedly this
combination favoured the players they
knew i.e. from Essex. In my opinion
there is a considerable public misunderstanding about the precise division
of roles between chairman of selectors, . tcam manager and captain. I
believe there should be one cricket
supremo who is responsible for picking the England team in conjunction
with the captilin. It is sad to say that
Fletcher's track record in India and in
this series raises serous doubts about
his ability for this role. I understand
my own first choice, Mike Brearley,
is not available for the job. From the
others who remain, Ray IIIingworth is
the most experienced candidate but it
is now over 20 ycars since he .captained a test side and his managerial
reeord at Yorkshire was not outstandingly successful. David L10yd has
earned a good reputation in Lancashire and would be a bold choice.
But who should go to the West
Indies? My tour party would read,
Atherton (captain)1 Morris H; Smith;
Thorpc; Stewart; Gatting; Maynard;
Hick; Cork; Fraser; McC'gue (if not
fit, Malcolm); Igglcsden (if not fit,
C,ddick); Such; Tufnell; Salisbury;
Russell. I think it is unlikely that the
gamble on Salisbury will be taken in
which case Malcom should get the
nod with C,ddick and Bicknell tmvelling if both McCague and Igglcsden
are unfit.
Finally, a thank you to Len Mancini for notifying us of the promising
Italian speedway talent riding for
Rc.,ding who will have competed in
the World championship in Germany
in August. We will be doing a full
fcature on him in either the October
or November issue.
