JOHN BERTACCA LIBROWEB: 6th chapter. A moment of nostalgia
Bertacchi with his nephew John, 1925 The poet wrote poetry in dialect in old age. In 1929 it had sixty years. On this date also published her latest collection in language: "The eternal tomorrow." It almost seems, to those who care this Libroweb, a solitary witness to step inside the mind of the poet chiavennasca that tired, disappointed, isolated for his anti-fascism, meditate to cling to the dialect to strengthen even more the strong resistance to black shirts and Regards Roman prelude to any persecution. Bertacchi of dialect poems were collected - with great intelligence filogica and discuss their origins and development - and therefore by Guido Scaramellini This book, reprinted several times, please. The latest edition also contains valuable pictures: John Bertacchi, dialect poetry, Chiavenna 2001, Pro edition Chiavenna. In
Libroweb publish "a moment of nostalgia," which is one of the most read and remember the ground chiavennasca and Lombard. The poem was published in the journal The Torototele 1 January 1933. Together, composing almost a perfect triptych (and in the future they propose), there were "forty years of school" and "I have visited in the winter." The magazine was obviously very small, not very common, but after the rise of fascism to the poet that nothing remained similar or related magazines, such as Alba Serena, the world of the blind. Needless to point out the idiocy here, history and culture, which before the war unleashed by Hitler and Mussolini, in Italy you were on the whole society into a totalitarian and authoritarian, sometimes even read newspapers as Corriere della Sera. It is sufficient that such eminent historians to re-read the testimony of Louis Medici, a close friend of Bertacchi, who was director of the Milan newspaper, to prove at least embarrassing. But back to the dialect poetry that "tells" a Christmas excluded, a Christmas where the reliance on scales of their own imaginary land, can only produce nostalgia.
Bertacchi touches all the strings of the sentimental pathos with a vein of romantic ballad, a tale of waking and in front of the holy eve of the festival: there's the restaurant, the place par excellence of solitude, where dinner Chiavenna thinking, and to heat the food you just have to rethink childhood. Among the many insights evoked, which also give pain mediated by melancholy, it takes the strength of the adolescent search Bertacchi in Pratogiano, moss and laurel to the crib. With this image of dedication intent to decorate the fundamental event of Christianity - to which even the writer, in other latitudes, those of Pisa, took part - I conclude my brief remarks to a poem memorable generates in me the regret of not knowing how to read it properly, but readers, I hope that many of Libroweb of this chapter, they will surely at best, and the eve of Christmas.
