Some of my readers complain that I have dwelt on the bloggers' lunch on Saturday. Oh, like you move sbaji. I've had to delete names, photographs and to talk to people who do not want to be quoted on the net, and I do not think that my dining companions have dwelt on the matter on their blog. Add my confidence and my chronic concern of giving trouble to others, to be intrusive, and here the room, very happy and pleasant (always a good sign when no one decides to get up and you practically have to throw out in the club) , is reduced to two marginal rows in a broader intervention.
However, for the benefit of Ernest, I will say that we were eight: Gap, Luz, wit, Captain Feltrinelli, Perfidious, Punzy, me and Serena Aendyr. No real name, nick only, and no pictures: p
Restaurant Gino was the cottage, in Largo Ravizza, Monteverde Nuovo, in front of the park. Very good, generous portions and almost everything in the house. Success, particularly for the fried anchovies and meatballs made in the manner of Luz's mother - and I enjoyed the chicken with peppers, also because I prefer the clever fox and chicken abbacchietti.
Among the many topics discussed during the binge has a role, the old Roman adage "better dead in a house that Marche at the door." The motto originates from a pope who, as revealed by the Gap in the comments to my previous statement, is the Marche Pope Sixtus V, born Felice Peretti. Wikipedia, whose reliability is still doubtful, says The Sisto, in his work of cleaning up corruption, had made use of officials and tax collectors Marche, known for their moral seriousness and reliability. Of course, like all people in Italy try to make paying taxes, Sisto and Marche were branded as pain in the ass (even the communists were not there) and so here's the check that said, that seems to be used in Romagna (d ' other part was ground and then papal tax collectors were there too).
Note, however, said that as these different variations in Italy: the least known Modena "better dead in a house that leads to Mantua and the Tuscan" better dead in a home than a Pisan at the door. " I imagine that these variants are found a bit 'everywhere, even if it would be nice to understand what the proverb "original" and how it spread. It is probably good for field linguists and writers! Sergio Caruso, professor of philosophy of social sciences in Florence, "Montaperto, Tuscan disease," he says in this regard: "It seems that armed troops of the Republic of Pisa were accustomed to attack and loot the Lucca area, with frightening night raids. There was therefore better - but really, in the Middle Ages - have died in a house that "a Pisa the door."
on Sixtus V then there is a poem of beauty that refers to certain "myths" about the subject in question:
| "Among those that have had tAll per place De vicaj of God, nun z'è never seen rugantino A pope, a pope quickly, A crazy Pope Sixtus equal to PPAP. E nun Zolo is the day that Dassi er piston A chiunqu'omo that j'annava berth, But the nu perdunò neppur'a Christ E nemmanco of the Roppe anniscosto. Aringrazziam'Iddio c'adesso er failure Nun bit 'ssuccede PPIU Vieng that a stem D'arimette quel'incrasto in the Church. Why nun ce po' èsse tanto presto Un altro papa che je piji er gusto De mèttese pe nome Sisto Sesto. " (Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli) |
