Ciao!
This has been a very busy time for the Laurita household. The end of the school year approaches. Here in the south we end school in May.
I will be thinking of you as I sit by the pool, sipping a cool Stella Nera cocktail. I created this drink while longing for fresh spring fruit.
May was also exciting in that I traveled to Poland for the first time. My husband and I went as part of the March of the Living. This international event culminated at the death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Here over 21,000 people gathered from around the world to honor the living and the dead of the Holocaust. As I walked through the Italian memorial in Auschwitz, I recalled the poetry of Primo Levi:
Who labours in the mud
Who knows no peace
Who fights for a crust of bread
Who dies at a yes or a no.
Consider whether this is a woman,
Without hair or name
With no more strength to remember
Eyes empty and womb cold
As a frog in winter.
Primo Levi was an amazingly talented, Italian, Jewish, poet, and chemist. He survived Auschwitz, but spent the rest of his life trying to reconcile himself to his survival. In 1987, Primo Levi committed suicide.
This is a somber reflection for May, but it is as much a part of the Italian heritage as are the marionettes and puppet shows of Sicily.
