San Remo along the Italian Riviera, not far from Monaco and Cannes (in France), has been a favorite for tourists and vacationers for centuries because of its mild climate andpleasantlocationbythesea.SomanyRussiannoblesspentthewintertherebeforetherevolutionthatthelocalRussiancolony eventually built a beautiful little Russian churchwhich we visited on this trip. Besides the icons to admire in the church proper, one can visit the crypt where the graves ofkingNikolaandqueenMilenaofMontenegroaretobefound.

We took breakfast at home and also cooked a couple of meals there, but enjoyed sampling the local cuisine at nearby restaurants such as Pizzeria da Giovanni and Birreria Italia. One local dishwe quickly came to likewasTrofieallaGenovese,withapestosauce,dicedboiledpotatoesandgreenbeans. Trofieare little twistsofpasta,a bit like gemelle, but only about a third the size. We tried, unsuccessfully, to go to a restaurant in the old medieval centerofSanRemo,LaPigna,butneverwereabletofindit in the warren of narrow passageways in that district. La Pigna seems to now be where many local immigrants (North Africans,Bangladeshis)findlodging.

San Remo is home to the San Remo festival, held yearlyat the Ariston theater, basically a singing contest that has givenrisetoseveralstarsfromthe1950’sonward,includingDomenico Modugno (Volare) and Andrea Bocelli (Con te partirò).

RACCOMANDAZIONI LETTERARIE DAI NOSTRI STUDENTILibro da scegliere “A book to Choose” by Anne Dyer

Scegliere un libro della nostra lista per raccomandarlo adaltristudentièpiudifficilechescegliereunlibroda portare con sè su una isola deserta : deve essere divertente,benscritto,senzadialettoeinvitantealladiscussione.

Allora, la maggior parte dei gialli è eliminata, cosi come alcuniromanzimodernidoveloscrittoreparlatroppodisè stesso ; « Caos calmo » di Sandro Veronese-Premio Streganel2006e«Inaltreparole»diJumpaLahirinesonoesempiiperfetti.

Naturalmente, mi piaccono i classici come Moravia oTomasidiLampedusa,tantobenscritti,mailororomanzi hanno spesso lunge descrizioni e non sono i migliori per iniziare una discussione.

I romanzi che parlono di problemi psicologici come “ Lacci”(diDomenicoStarnone)o“Agostino”(diAlbertoMoravia)sonobuonicandidatieprovocanodiscussioni,maallafine,preferiscolibrimodernichesianoancheinformativisull’Italia.

Neabbiamolettiunsacco–emoltointeressanti-“Cristos’èfermatoaEboli”(diCarloLevi),“L’affaireMoro”(di Leonardo Scascia), « Un giorno sull’alto piano » (di Emilio Lussu), ma scelgo “ Canale Mussolini ”( di Antonio Pennachi-premioStreganel2010):divertente,conunpo’didifficoltàperildialetto,raccontalastoriadelfascismoattraversounafamigliaecifacapirecosaèstata l’Italia degli anni 30.

Sochequestolibrononrispondeamoltecaratteristicheche ho citato all ‘ inizio, ma “ so what?” 

To choose a book for other students to read is more difficultthanchoosingabooktotakeawayonadesertedisland:itmustbeentertaining,wellwritten,withoutanydialect and leading to discussions.

One has then to eliminate most thrillers, as well as a few modern novels where the writer is busy talking about himself; Perfect examples would be” Quiet chaos” by SandroVeronesi-laureateofthe2006StregaPrizeand“In other words” by Jumpa Lahiri.

Of course, I like classical writers like Moravia or Tomasi diLampedusa,sowellwrittenbuttheirnovelshaveoftenlongdescriptionswhichdonothelpthestartofadiscussion.

Novels whose main theme treats psychological problems like“Ties”fromDomenicoStarnoneor“Agostino”fromMoravia are good candidates and lead to discussions, but in the end , I prefer books allowing readers to deepen their knowledge of Italy.

Wehavereadquiteafewofthese-andveryinterestingones-“ChriststoppedinEbolibyCarloLevi,“L’affaireMoro ” by Leonardo Scascia, “A year on the plateau” by EmilioLussu,butIamselecting“theMussoliniCanal”byAntonioPennacchi(2010StregaPrizelaureate);entertaining,withsomedialectasaddeddifficulty,ittells the story of the Fascist era through the eyes of one family and helps us understand how the Italy of the 1930s looked like.

I know that this book does not have all the characteristicsImentionedinthefirstparagraph,butsowhat?
