Bridge Rimini 1995
One evening in late September 1897, in Piazza Cavour in Rimini, Giovanni Pascoli to get the 19, driving a buggy driven by 'restless Violetta. " He has an appointment with Tognacci Rico and other friends at the Cafe sammauresi Commerce, in a private room, where a waiter who waits for them to celebrate the meeting, Stapper a bottle of 'Champagne La Tour, "that is The Tower of wine farm. (1)
After the toast, the company comes out and walks toward the Teatro Vittorio Emanuele II. Arrived in front of the fish market, stop a moment and Johnnie, touched, begins to talk about his memories of our city. Rimini Pascoli means many things. Moved here in 1871, four years after the mysterious murder of his father Roger (at the August 10, 1867, made famous by his lyrics) and three by the disappearance of her sister Margaret (13/11/1868) and mother Catherine Vincent (18:12 .1868).
In that painful move, the pastures are driven by seven brothers James (19 years): Luigi has 17, John 16, 14 Raffaele, Giuseppe (ie Alexander) 12, Ida 8, Mariù 6. Louis died Oct. 19 of that 1871, for meningitis. James has to practice to be an expert land surveyor in the study of Eng. John Fiorani. For the tribe of children and young people "began to reign in poverty," as Mary writes, the smallest that will, a wish of the Johnnie, the official biographer of the poet. (2)
"The apartment is already chosen by James and furnished with beds, iron and wood, and furniture in our house was in a stable internal Via San Simone, and consisted of ground and first floor 'continues Mariù: "The life that led to Rimini ... it was an economy that just allowed the pure necessary. " (3)
John attended the second high school, "poor, lonely and a bit grumpy he lived so completely absorbed in his abstract world so much that sometimes he was even teased by classmates in her class." (4)
Mariù Remember that Johnnie was often absent from classes due to a foot ill from birth: for that flaw in the last phalanx of right little finger, the mother, having just given birth to the creature, it was started crying. That defect will suffer a poet all his life, forcing him to "uneven and uncertain pace as if walking on thorns." (5) John
report immediately for its culture. One of her teacher, Carlo Tonini (historical city, the son of Louis), "including the boy wandering and lost," as Alfredo Panzini tell, and prophesied a secure future: "You'll see, you will see, this child will do honor to his country." (6) The final report card bears (the first vote is on the writings): Italian 109, Latin 109, 108 greek, math, 1010, 9 philosophy, history and geography 7.
In October 1872, at the Rimini Malvolti printer, for the wedding of the Princes Torlonia and Giulio Maria Borghese, which has released an ode of grazing grain revolutionary: "... For cold ambition / sucks poor veins every hour to / under the veil of the common good ... honest. "
In '75, when his uncle dies Rimini Alessandro Morri, Johnnie dedicates a poem. Morris was his godfather at baptism and had married Louise Vincent, sister of Catherine, the "sweet mother" of the poet. (9)
Vincenzi were three sisters: Rita, Catherine and Louise. They were born by Paul Vincent and Olimpia Alloccatelli, only daughter of a rich nobleman Sogliano. Rita married a landowner Sogliano. Louise, who was the town clerk Morri Sogliano first and then to Rimini.
In verses for her uncle, John inserts theological questions ("Tell me, infradician bury the dead or something to n'evapora Heaven? ... / or, my strong friend, now is the fate / Putre mud and ash that be you? "), which bring into suspicion Aunt Louise," and perhaps very religious bigot "(8) which, fearful of contempt faith is to examine the text "by an old woman, perhaps a kind of witch, then held in Rimini from the concept of holiness." "Brusel, Brusel! is contrary to the Crest! "is the sentence, immediately executed. The other aunt, "Rita Threshold", it saves a copy. (9)
In '76, after the death of James for intestinal hemorrhage resulting from typhoid, John is the breadwinner, "went to the small heritage isfacelo family, lost his scholarship for participation in political turmoil, [...] had to interrupt his studies and lived miserably until 1880 joining the revolutionary socialist movement, especially a friend of Andrea Costa. (10)
In September '77, for one night and one day, staying in Rimini Pascoli, as told by Antonio Baldini (11), "in the bill hard," No room in the 6 Matthew Barbiani the inn, located above the Coffee Union, in the "square of the poor" (then via Fish No. 111, and now square Gregorio da Rimini). A Barbiani, grazing his pledge of the outstanding debt, some garments: three shirts, a pair of underwear and a handkerchief, as stated by the same landlord knocking cash (pounds 41.50) to Mr. Domenico Francolini (18501926), politically akin to Johnnie who were his friends, and revolutionary poet himself.
John had come to Rimini to ask for a grant administrator of the heirs Pascoli, Ruffi Hercules, in whose house the Covignano, August 2, 1874, had been arrested 28 Republican leaders who met with the intention of discussing national insurrection. (12) He left with little money and a lot of anger for a sentence of Ruffi, reported by Mariù "rounds Bulogna, mittiv duzzena in an old fishing vessels and fasiv mantné. (13)
Pascoli poor as in '78 Writes a poem, "The death of the rich ', which Francolini public without his knowledge in the magazine that runs from Rimini," The Neptune "in the hope that it will" contribute to our revolutionary propaganda. "
Among the friends of Rimini is also Raphael Marcovigi Pascoli, who called the Johnnie Blond and also the 'avvocatino tirchino. To him, writes Pascoli 14 November 1883 its plans: "... Then take a wife. Give me the pleasure of being, you who have lot of time and knowledge .... " (14)
In '91, July 22, he married Miss Marcovigi Gelman: John gives the old friend a book of 22 poems under the title of myricae . In 1896, plans to marry well Pascoli him and writes to the town clerk of San Mauro, Peter Guidi: "Dear Pirozzi, you refresh your memory. Cava in secret my beliefs and track those of my father and my mother and send everything to Jerome Perilli, via Garibaldi, 33, Rimini. In a state secret ... secret! .... " (15)
Momo Perilli (18531930), married a daughter of Alexander Morrison, Anna. Johnnie (41 years) is in love with Imelde (30), sister of Anna (35). Hopefully, Pastures, Ida accasatasi in '95 with Salvatore Berti of Santa Giustina, Mariù also find an accommodation. Mariù, jealous of her sister, wants to die. (16) And John describes in the throes of a "terrible crisis of nerves and heart." Pascoli wrote letters full of tears, while secretly thinking to their marriage plans in secret to Mary, had already given to Imelde a ring. (17)
Imelde not stand Maria and Anna, for which he feels mortified: "It was good and dear girls [...] but very different from us, fortunately, because they were rich and wore a lot of luxury, and we were poor and dressed very humbly. " (18) Maria
plot against the wedding to Johnnie, and would also like to rummage in the portfolio of his brother, not inflated money (fine herself), looking for some love letter. (19)
Against Johnnie seems to put even Aunt Rita's threshold, which gossip on that foot of the sick grandson, who would not like all'Imelde. Who wrote to the same Aunt Rita denies, saying that to say those words, was his sister Anna, wife of Perilli that Pascoli had written for the marriage certificates.
Mariù serves Aunt Rita, it says that if the marriage went ahead, it is by their own merit: "I was I then, not her, to produce that effect 'Aunt Rita had told Mariù heard the phrase 'cousins' house', not thinking that the sister of the poet was going "to blow "to the person" these words. " (20)
Johnnie offended severs all relations with the Imelda, returns to the letters received. In early '97 Imelde goes with the Rimini Count Giuseppe Baldini. "A new," said Giovanni Pascoli, admitting he made "a pianzutin 'for the misery and loneliness of" Mariuccina. For Imelda, then he will dedicate a verse, without making the name: "So I went back ... you were not there. / To the house was an echo of yesterday, / of a long promised. And with me / you took one that echo: / FOREVER. " (21)
is only a few months after that disappointment, when at the end of September of that '97 Johnnie back to Romagna to find the sisters, Myriam for the baptism of newborn to Ida. The smile of the family seems to cheer him up in a very sad day, testifying in a letter to Hugh Brill: "I am only just [...] is neurasthenia, will auto-suggestion, the effect will be forcibly chaste life and horribly sad, but I spend some hours, better some days I think to die [...]. " (22) also gives the school career thinking. Pirandello qualifies myricae , to say the same pastures, as a "work of constipated, the man who haunts and torments." (23)
That just pop Rimini is a moment of calm or sad thoughts turned to the many pains of an unhappy life? Giulio Tognacci, present at the meeting between friends sammauresi Rico with his father, wrote: "I read something that looked into his eyes lit."
"Men, if you look, my fear / grows in the heart ...." (24)
When myricae public in 1891, grazing has 36 years of nine and is a graduate teacher. After Matera and Massa ended up in a chair in Livorno. Our earth's seems far away, but the painful memories in the heart throbs, and such thoughts to the pen.
One of the oldest opera collection, Romagna ('is 80 or so, "writes the same pastures), is this relationship with the places of origin. They are the famous poem dedicated to his friend the poet Ferrari: "Always a village, also a campaign / I ride to the heart (or crying) or Severino / country where, going, with us / blue vision of the San Marino ... '.
In '94, presented the third edition of myricae , Pascoli defines his poetry as "flapping of birds and rustle of cypress trees, bells sing out: do not excuse themselves to a cemetery." Where his father lies "Ruggiero" who was killed August 10, 1867, and that the child poet is the universal symbol of evil: "Life [...] is beautiful, all beautiful, that would be, if we do not spoil us and others. [...] But the men loved darkness rather than light, and most evil of others than his own good. And volunteers make the wrong, wrong to blame nature, sweet mother [...]. "
In a review, which appeared in March '92 on "The new anthology," we talk about myricae as "poetry, fresh, pure, original," where you guess a note "of pain and calm resignation, of human pain, who buys our sympathies, and the poet makes us love the man [...]. " It is stressed the novelty of the collection: "I am simple and small pictures of fresh [...]."
Simplicity was already expressed in the subtitle of myricae , the statement through a quote (backslash ...) Virgil. The Latin poet had written (in ' eclogue IV): "Non omnis shrubs iuvant humilesque myricae" not at all like the tamarisk bushes and humble.
Pascoli wrote the title instead of his book, "Shrub iuvant humilesque myricae. The disappearance of the denial emphasizes an understanding, to express through poetry the singing of everyday life. Pascoli track as a boundary than the other authors contemporaries who dominated the literary scene. It 's also the passing of a traditional way to make poetry that lasted for nearly a century. That
Pascoli, writes L. Anceschi in his seminal text on the critically Poetics of the twentieth century in Italy, is a "distinct position is that of Carducci is that of D'Annunzio." What would be different from the addresses dominant, had told the same pastures in a letter to Severino Ferrari 83 "Studio Horace. I would like to distinguish myself from the powdered chromolithographic Codest poet D'Annunzio. "
Slowly, year after year (the sixth and last is 1903), myricae become a book is known that a new poetic conception, that of "objects": every element becomes a symbol, such as "plow the fallow half" of Lavender, depicting the human loneliness.
It is "the poetry of little things," according to the classic formula of Renato Serra. It opens a line through the twilight, as he taught Ancelin, comes up to Eugenio Montale.
Card 1. "Giovanni Pascoli is Romagnolo: and you can not understand anything about his life and his art if you do not hear him in the" pasta "of this typical Italian race, in a focused and exuberant vitality, full of contradictions and inner struggles and open [...], "he wrote in 1937 Ettore Cozzani, in large critical analysis of the poet's life and works of St. Maurus.
"And you can not understand anything," of this quotation, if we're not going to read a few lines later: "the race that in a few decades was able to temper [...] precursors and forerunners like Alfredo Oriani, synthesizers and filmmakers as Mussolini, as poetiveggenti the same pasture. "
Poor Pascoli, in which the company placed the sad rhetoric of Cozzani that turned even the inhabitants of a land into a "race" in itself.
Card 2. On August 10, 1991 in San Mauro, Church of Our Lady in the Water, Mgr. Louis Pasture celebrated the anniversary of the death of his grandfather Roger Pascoli (in 1867), and the 60th anniversary of its first mass. Bishop Luigi
Pastures is the son of Joseph, born in 1859 and died in 1917, the last male of Roger.
The relationship between Pepper and the other brothers were not always happy. Child 'Urchin', historians describe him, because for some lack expelled from all schools of the Kingdom, in 1873. He grew up with a character 'rather gloomy' and taciturn, Mariù tells the biography of the poet.
failed a competition in the railways, Peppino often knocked at the house of money that Johnnie, 83, no definite information of his brother, but Severino Ferrari writes: "It seems to be employed by Torlonia.
Peppino then married the widow of a barber who had two older children. Comment the terrible Mariù: "He was disgusted with everyone ...." In '94, "in miserable state," Joseph John brings news of the death of his wife. But it is "all a comedy to compassion."
Peppino settled in Bologna, employed in a bicycle factory. "Almost two years after the false announcement [...] his wife died, really," states Mariù. Later, he goes and gets married again Veneto, with a teacher. Don
Louis Pasture, August 10, 1931, celebrated his first Mass in the Church of Our Lady of the Water, adjacent to the old pasture.
In '39, in Santa Giustina di Rimini, dates from his first meeting with Aunt Ida who received him with sympathy, because at last he could find one of six children of Peppino. Ida lived in poverty, forgotten by Mariù, and died in Bologna, in '57, assisted with the sacraments from their nephew Don Luis. Mariù had disappeared in 1953.
