  • Alcune Tappe Di Un Itinerario Alla Ricerca Di Un Pezzo Di Storia Dimenticata
    INTRODUZIONE Alcune tappe di un itinerario alla ricerca di un pezzo di storia dimenticata Intervento di Oreste Magni ed Ernesto R Milani Ecoistituto della Valle del Ticino L’attenzione al fenomeno migratorio era iniziata nei primi anni Ottanta. Anche se la nostra Associazione – vale a dire l’Ecoistituto della Valle del Ticino − non era ancora nata, l’interesse per questi temi era nell’aria. Seppure sotto traccia, malgrado soggetta a un pro- cesso di “perdita della memoria” per il naturale succedersi delle generazioni, la necessità di recuperare un pezzo significativo delle nostre vicende locali e nazionali diventava un’esi- genza proprio nel momento in cui il fenomeno migratorio si presentava in altre forme. In modo speculare l’Italia cominciava a divenire, inaspettatamente, non più luogo da cui par- tire per destinazioni lontane come era avvenuto nell’Ottocento, ma luogo di arrivo di nuovi flussi migratori. Flussi migratori, quelli dell’ultimo trentennio, completamente diversi da quelli che i nostri paesi conobbero negli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta del Novecento, quando a giungere da noi furono i contadini meridionali e veneti attirati nel “triangolo industriale” dal boom economico del secondo dopoguerra e dalla impellente necessità di manodopera delle indu- strie in espansione. Non si trattava più, quindi, di spostamenti interregionali, era l’Italia, in quanto tale, che diventava meta di popolazioni di etnia e cultura completamente diverse, provenienti dall’America Latina, dall’Europa dell’est dopo il crollo dei regimi comunisti, dall’Asia e dall’Africa. Porsi delle domande sul perché di un fenomeno del genere, cercando di farlo in modo razionale, non poteva prescindere dal guardarsi indietro , dall’indagare vicende lontane lar- gamente rimosse nella memoria dei più, scomparse dal sentire collettivo, ma non certo meno importanti per capire l’evoluzione del nostro Paese.

Faced with budgetary restrictions and no official soccer team to call their own, the U.S. set out to recruit players in the soccer hotbed of St. Louis, Missouri, where they found a group of young friends with no professional or international playing experience, only an unabashed love of the game. Leaving behind their wives, girlfriends and families for New York, Frank Borghi, Harry Keough, Gino Pariani, Frank ‘Pee Wee’ Wallace and Charles “Gloves” Colombo joined Philadelphian Walter Bahr, Haitian-born New Yorker Joe Gatjeans and additional East Coasters for a short 10-day training period in which these young men from different races, religions and backgrounds were forced to see past one another’s differences and become a full-fledged team.
