Don-Camillo-Comrade.Pdf Table of Contents Gold Fever Don Camillo’s Revenge Don Camillo in Disguise Operation Rondella A Forced Rest The Space Cell Politics on the Road Christ’s Secret Agent The Rains Came to Stay Three Stalks of Wheat The Cell Goes to Confession In the Jaws of Hell Comrade Nadia’s Coffee The Next-to-Last Wave A Story That Has No End A Note from the Author Gold Fever The news exploded like a bomb around Monday noon, upon the arrival of the newspapers. Someone in the village had won ten million liras in the national soccer sweepstakes. The papers gave the name of the winner as Pepito Sbezzeguti, but no one in the town was known under such an exotic name. The bet collector, besieged by a curious mob, threw out his arms hopelessly. 'I sold any number of tickets to fellows from out of town at the market on Saturday,' he said. 'It must be one of them. Ten million liras! He's bound to show up.' But no one showed up, and the village continued to fret, because they felt sure there was something fishy about the name. Sbezzeguti was plausible, someone of that name might have come to the market. But Pepito was going a little too far. Nobody who dealt in wheat, corn, hay, livestock and Parmesan cheese would be called Pepito. 'It's a phony name, if you ask me,' said the proprietor of the Molinetto.'And someone using a false name isn't likely to be a stranger. It must be a villager who doesn't want it known that he played the sweeps. Maybe he doesn't want his debtors to know, or his wife.' The argument was logical enough. The villagers dropped the theory of the winner being an outsider and concentrated upon their fellow townsmen. They concentrated as intently as if they were trying to identify a common thief rather than the winner of a iegitimate pool. Don Camillo followed the affair less passionately but with a certain amount of interest. And because he felt that Christ did not altogether approve of his leanings towards the trade of a detective he offered Him an explanation. 'Lord, it's not a matter of idle curiosity; I'm doing my duty. A man who has received such a favour from Divine Providence has no right to hide it.' 'Don Camillo,' replied Christ,'Divine Providence may take an interest in the soccer sweepstakes, although personally I doubt it, but surely not in all the publicity about the winnings. The fact of the matter is all that counts and it's quite adequately known. Someone has won a considerable sum of money, but why must you beat out your brains to discover his identity? Your business is to look after those who are less fortunate.' But Don Camillo couldn't rid himself of his curiosity. The mystery of Pepito continued to occupy his mind until finally a great light dawned upon him. It was all he could do not to ring the church bells in exultation, and quite beyond his powers to resist putting on his cloak and going for a walk in the village. Tn time he arrived at the workshop of Peppone, mayor and blacksmith. Don Camillo stuck his head through the door and greeted his enemy. 'Good morning, Comrade Pepito!' Peppone stopped hammering and stared at the priest in dismay. 'What do you mean, Father?' 'Nothing at all. Pepito's a diminutive of Peppone, after all, and by some strange chance Sbezzeguti is an imperfect anagram of Giuseppe Bottazzi.' Peppone resumed his hammering. Don Camillo shook his head. 'What a shame that you're not the Pepito who won the ten millions.' 'A shame, yes. In that case I'd be able to offer you two or three millions to go back home.' 'Don't worry, Peppone. I do favours for nothing' said Don Camillo, going away. Two hours later the whole village knew what is meant by an anagram, and in every house Pepito Sbezzeguti was vivisected to find out if Comrade Giuseppe Bottazzi was lurking inside. That same evening the Reds' general staff held a special meeting at the People's Palace. 'Chief,' said Smilzo,'the reactionaries have gone back to their old tactics of smearing a good name. The whole village is in an uproar. They say you won the ten millions. There's no time to be lost; you must nail down their slander.' Peppone threw out his arms. 'To say a fellow has won ten millions in the soccer sweep stake isn't slander. Slander means accusing someone of having done something dishonest, and the sweepstakes are quite on the level.' 'Chief, in politics to accuse someone of a good deed is a smear. And an accusation that hurts the Party is definitely slanderous.' 'People are laughing behind our backs,' put in Brusco. 'We've got to shut them up.' 'We must print a poster!' Bigio exclaimed.'We must come up with a statement that makes everything clear.' Peppone shrugged his shoulders. 'We'll put our minds to it tomorrow,' he said. Whereupon Smilzo pulled a sheet of paper out of his pocket. 'We've something ready, Chief, in order to save you the trouble. If you approve we'll print it right away and paste up the posters tomorrow morning.' And he proceeded to read aloud: The undersigned, Giuseppe Bottazzi, declares that he has no connexion with the Pepito Sbezzeguti who won ten million liras in the soccer sweepstakes. It is useless for the reactionaries to accuse him of being a millionaire. All it proves is that they are a gang of neo-Fascists. Giuseppe Bottazzi. Peppone shook his head. 'It's all right,' he said, 'but until I see something in print I'm not going to rush into print myself with an answer.' But Smilzo stuck to his argument. 'Why wait to shoot until someone has shot at you? Good strategy calls for beating the opponent to the draw.' 'Good strategy calls for a kick in the pants to anyone who sticks his nose into my private affairs. I can defend myself without help.' Smilzo shrugged his shoulders. 'If you take it like that, there's nothing more to say.' 'That's how I do take it!' shouted Peppone, bringing his fist down on the table.'Every man for himself, and the Party for the lot of us!' The general staff went away grumbling. 'To let himself be accused of having won ten million is a sign of weakness,' observed Smilzo. 'And besides, there's the complication of the anagram.' 'Let's hope for the best,' sighed Bigio. Soon enough the rumour appeared in print. The landowner's paper published an insert that said: 'Scratch a Peppone and you'll find a Pepito,' and everyone in the village found this exceedingly clever and funny. The general staff held another meeting in the People's Palace and declared unanimously that something had to be done. 'Very good,' said Peppone.'Go ahead and print the poster and paste it up.' Smilzo made a bee-line for the printer's. Little more than an hour later the printer, Barchini, brought Don Camillo a copy of the proofs. 'This is bad business for the newspaper,' said Don Camillo sadly.'If Peppone really did win the money I don't think he would put out such a statement. That is, unless he's already gone to the city to collect it or sent someone else to collect it for him.' 'He hasn't made a move,' Barchini assured him.'Everyone in the village is on the alert.' It was late, and Don Camilio went to bed. But at three o'clock in the morning he was awakened by the news of a visit from Peppone. Peppone sneaked in from the garden, and when he was in the hall he peered out anxiously through the halfclosed door. 'Here's hoping no one has seen me,' he said.'I feel as if I were being followed.' Don Camillo glanced at him anxiously. 'You haven't gone crazy, have you?' he asked. 'No, no fear of that.' Peppone sat down and wiped the perspiration from his brow. 'Am I talking to the parish priest or to the village gossip?' 'That depends on wjlat you came to say.' 'I came to see the priest.' 'The priest is listening,' said Don Camillo gravely. Peppone twirled his hat between his fingers and then confessed: 'Father, I told a big lie. I am Pepito Sbezzeguti.' For a moment Don Camillo was speechless. 'So you did win the millions, did you?' he said when he had recovered his aplomb.'Why didn't you say so?' 'I'm not saying so. I was speaking to you as a priest, and you should have no concern with anything but the fact that I told a lie.' But Don Camillo was concerned with the ten millions. He shot a withering look at Peppone and moved to the attack. 'Shame on you! A proletarian, a Party member winning ten million liras in a soccer sweepstake! Leave such shenanigans to the bourgeoisie! Communists earn their living by the sweat of their brow.' 'I'm in no mood for joking,' gasped Peppone. 'Is it a crime to place a bet in the soccer sweepstake?' 'It's no joke,' said Don Camillo.'I didn't say it was a crime, I said that a good Communist wouldn't do it.' 'Nonsense! Everyone does.' 'That's very bad. And all the worse for you because you're a leader of the class struggle.

CEU eTD Collection III ABSTRACT Despite a vast research about the impact of the Hungarian crisis of 1956 on the legacy of Communism in Italy, the controversial choices of the Italian Communist Party (PCI) have been often considered to be a sort of negative exception in the progressive path of Italian Communism toward modern European socialism. Instead, the main idea of this research is to reconstruct the PCI’s decision-making within the context of the enduring strategic patterns that shaped the political action of the party: can the communist reaction to the impact in Italy of the Hungarian uprising be interpreted as a coherent implication of the communist preexisting and persisting strategy? In order to answer this question, it is necessary to reconstruct how the news coming from Hungary left an imprint on the “permanent interests” of the PCI, and how the communist apparatus reacted to the crisis.

  • Adenauer, Marshall and Freedom in Europe
    1 Nikolas R. Dörr Adenauer, Marshall and Freedom in Europe Speech for the George Marshall Society George-Marshall-Haus in the Konrad Adenauer School, Kriftel, June 6, 2013 Ladies and gentlemen, today is a good day to think about German-American relations. A few hours ago, during his state visit, U.S. President Barack Obama held a speech at the Brandenburg Gate and almost exactly fifty years ago – on 26 June 1963 – John F. Kennedy famously proclaimed „Ich bin ein Berliner“ in front of the Rathaus Schöneberg. „Adenauer, Marshall and Freedom in Europe“– It is a comprehensive topic. Konrad Adenauer and George C. Marshall were globally two of the most important politicians in the post-war period. Numerous publications have been brought out about both of them: monographs, anthologies, even illustrated books, to say nothing of the multitude of articles in scientific and journalistic media. In this talk, I will focus on the immediate post-war period, in which both politicians reached the peak of their prowess. You see Konrad Adenauer, first Federal German Chancellor from 1949 and leader of the CDU from 1950 to 1966, as Time magazine‘s „Man of the Year“ in 1953 with very nice symbolism in the background: showing a new tree growing, slowly but surely, from the old German oak shattered after the loss of the World War. This was seen to be, above all, economic growth. This evening‘s second protagonist is George Catlett Marshall, Chief of Staff of the U.S. army in the Second World War, politically independent Secretary of State between 1947 and 1949 as well as Secretary of Defense 1950 to 1951.

  • The People of the Po's Volatile Relationship with Their River
    Semestrale di Studi e Ricerche di Geografia DOI: 10.13133/1125-5218.15383 XXXI, 1, 2019, ISSN 1125-5218 pp. 45-59 An “old drunken and malicious father”: the people of the Po’s volatile relationship with their river Peter Coates* Keywords: Flooding, Liquidity, Amphibious culture, Risk adaptation, Environmental humanities 1. Introducing Il grande fiume When we think about Italian rivers, those that usually spring to mind are the Tiber and the Arno (Mauch, Zeller, 2008, p. 1). Yet neither is Italy’s longest riv- er, nor the most influential watercourse in modern Italian history. Instead, the status of Il grande fiume and il fiume nazionale has been awarded to the Po (Can- estrelli, 1892, p. 23; Mammi, 1996; Papotti, 1996, pp. 27, 35, 53, 56). The main fluvial artery of Italian industry and commerce – the nation’s «only respectable river» according to journalist and writer Giovanni Guareschi (Guareschi, 2013), p. x) – the Po bisects Italy’s most productive agricultural region and most densely populated area. The river’s significance is also international. The science and technology of river control in continental Europe was born on its unstable banks. This cradle of hydraulic engineering is a superlative river of gastronomy too. The powerful taste of place transmitted by the river and its valley, Val Padana – also known as la pianura padana or la Bassa (Papotti, 1996, pp. 19-21) – has also inspired a wealth of literary and filmic representations. Culturally as well as economically, the Po has become il Mississippi italiano, or, il nostro Old Man River. The relationship between the Po and its people – who, following the lead of film director Michelangelo Antonioni, we might refer to as gente del Po (Anto- nioni, 1947)1 – is complex and multi-layered.

  • When TV Series Permeate and Produce Reality. Preliminary Reflections on Performativity of the «Small Screen»
    Isabelle Dumont When TV Series permeate and produce Reality. Preliminary Reflections on Performativity of the «Small Screen» The last decades witnessed the development of a «new narrative formula» in the world of TV series, able to influence opinions and behaviours and to stimulate in spectators a sort of «state of immersion». Furthermore, some series end up with having a more tangible performative effect, realizing a state of permeation of reality which can be materialized for instance in the fiction induced tourism, but also with the creation of «public forums» where TV viewers mix up political opinions and their private sphere. Nevertheless, «permeation» only constitutes a first step of performativity, while a second stage – «production of reality» – is reached in some cases when locations physically take on some characteristic features of a TV series. Which are then the factors and mechanisms that trigger performativity? A possible key to answer the question can be found applying Berques’ concept of médiance to the analysis of this phenomenon. Quando la fiction permea e produce la realtà. Riflessioni preliminari sulla performatività del «piccolo schermo» Gli ultimi decenni hanno visto lo sviluppo di una «nuova formula narrativa» nel mondo della fiction, in grado di in- fluenzare opinioni e comportamenti e di stimolare negli spettatori una sorta di «stato di immersione». Inoltre, alcune fictions finiscono per avere un effetto performativo più tangibile, realizzando uno stato di permeazione della realtà che può concretizzarsi ad esempio nel turismo indotto dalla fictionstessa, ma anche nella creazione di «forum pubblici» dove i telespettatori mescolano opinioni politiche e sfera privata. Tuttavia, la «permeazione» costituisce solo un primo livello della performatività, mentre un secondo stadio – la «produzione della realtà» – viene raggiunto in alcuni casi allorquando determinate locations assumono fisicamente alcune caratteristiche di una fiction.

Guareschi's "Mondo Piccolo" and the Sacrality of Conscience Abstract This study adopts a Christian hermeneutic to explore sacred themes in several of the 346 Don Camillo short stories that Giovannino Guareschi wrote between 1946 and 1966. Such a critical approach may seem non- traditional to use in analyzing a post-World War II, twentieth-century author. And yet, Guareschi defies convention in many ways beyond his profession as a journalist, humorist and popular author: he openly opposed the anti-clerical and Marxist literary establishment; defined himself as an anti-intellectual; and, as a layperson, he wrote unromantically about matters of faith. Especially as editor of the immensely popular weekly newspaper Candido, he had the perfect forum to reach millions of readers who shared his Christian values and were not part of the intellectual elite.

  • 10 Fiction Books Every Catholic Should Read (Or at Least Try Once)
    10 fiction books every Catholic should read (or at least try once) Humans are wired to seek the truth. God created us that way. It helps us in finding God who is Truth itself. While science and math give us measurable facts, the place where we reach real, intangible truth is usually in our stories. Good fiction helps us recognize who we are, who we want to be and how to live a life of courage, honesty, endurance and compassion. There’s a reason that Jesus told so many parables, after all. If you’ve got the choice between a detailed lecture and an exciting story, which one would you pick? In today’s world we may come across few parables, but we do have an abundance of novels and short stories. Here are 10 good stories for you to try. Some of the authors are Christian, some are not, but all have truth at the heart of their tales — in a very entertaining package. “The Epic of Gilgamesh” (2100 BC) Just because a story is 4,000 years old doesn’t mean you won’t understand it. The basic plot is a lot like a modern superhero movie. Gilgamesh (half-god) is the cruel king of Uruk. He and good-hearted Enkidu (monster slayer) become best friends after an epic wrestling match proves them equals. When Enkidu dies, the grieving Gilgamesh hunts the key to immortality. But nothing he finds changes the fact that every person must die. Gilgamesh returns to Uruk and becomes the good king that the people wanted all along.
