Nice and good

copertina ottoNice and good

BY CIRO CENATIEMPO

To illustrate our work could not miss the contribution of an artist who I appreciate very much, and is among my favorites: Manuel Di Chiara. On the cover (here is another piece of him) there is his version of dolphin fish, phantasmagoric fish of which I speak in the following pages. The dolphin fish triumphs in the autumn sea, and is “nice and good”. Perfect icon. Just like the island we love and tell, in the wake of epochal stories, above all tasty this time; always current. In 1940 Edgar Kupfer-Koberwitz, an intellectual globetrotter born near Wroclaw, wrote a substantial diary entitled “Ischia the forgotten island”.

Full of ideas from pure anthropology. “When we entered the cellar - he wrote in the chapter entitled “A country banquet”- a great man greeted us: “Hello, how are you?” [...]. The host welcomed us. He showed his full barrels with pride - the best of them tapped, I always had to taste, taste [...]. I saw two women, who were busy at the fire like two shadows [...]. A large, low bench was used as a table; it was covered with a white cloth - as I learned later, in my honor”. Here is the summa of acceptance that conquers, like the mega binge that followed. Today, except for details, it’s still like that. Why? Follow us, we give you some clues.
