NOSTALGIE CIOCIARE 2014
This year’s Nostalgie Ciociare event was another success thanks in
part to the many volunteers and groups that dedicated their time,
such as, the Voci Ciociare, Organetti and Youth Folklore group. The
festival saw the emergence of some special Ciociaro traditions,
through the pre-junior kids’ group events. Our future members took
part in traditional games and activities such as, Giro del Cerchio,
Soccer skills, Tug of war, Corn husking and Morra.
We also indulged on some special homemade treats, Pizze Fritte
and fresh Polenta. These were made possible by our own Club
members Delfina DiDuca, Giuseppina Tiberia and Carolina Farina,
respectively.
Thank you to all the members and their families that came. We look
forward to seeing you at our 2015 festival. We are always looking
for traditional Ciociaro activities, games and special foods to be a
part of our event. If you have any suggestions for next year’s event,
please drop off a letter with your suggestions to the Ciociaro Club
office, attention “Mark Rossi”, Youth and Culture Director.

CORRIERE CIOCIARO
Salutano un bimbo
le stelle,
S’inchinano al pargolo
I magi,
Ma giace su un letto
di paglia,
L’infante che adorano
da Re.
C’e’ chi crede che Re, il piccino
non e’,
E’ povero, povero, e cibo
non ha,
Non puo essere di certo
Maesta!
E pur regna sul trono
D’amore,
Quel amato figliolo
del Signore,
Che la mamma ha chiamato
Jesu’,
Quando e’ scieso per noi
quaggiu’.
LODIAMO INSIEME, JESU’ !

On display, at the front, was a large frame with the names of
all our deceased members, and on a long table, there was a
smaller frame with the names of those who passed away since
our last Memorial Service, November 2013. Board member,
Antonio Ciotoli welcomed the crowd and proceeded to read
the list of names of those who passed away this year. As these
were being read, a family member came and placed a vase of
roses in their memory at a designated place at the table. Finally,
a larger vase of roses was then placed in front of the large
frame of all the deceased members, by Rosa Conte.
Rocco Maiuri led us in prayer with the Word of God, special
prayers and blessings along with an inspirational homily. Anna
Vitti, Maria Di Gioia and Anna Vozza offered the first reading,
psalm response, second reading and the prayers of the faithful,
respectively.
Throughout the Service, Board member and Club photographer, Armando Carlini took photos to record this event for
the Club.
Following the Memorial, many of those attending, joined the
Board for a Fellowship Dinner in Salon F. Positive comments
were heard on how much it meant to take part in such a moving
and well-organized service.
Thank you to all who came to remember a loved one!

CIOCIARIA: A HERITAgE yOU CAN BE PROUD OF!
FRANCESCO ARQUATI
Francesco Arquati (Filettino, 27 September 1810 – Rome, 25 October 1867) was an
Italian republican patriot, a notable figure in the Italian Risorgimento and a so-called
martyr for the cause of a United Italy.
Born in a small comune at the border between the Papal State and the Borbon State,
son of Vincenzo and Sinforosa Arquati; he dedicated himself to the political life, took
part in the citizens' government and in 1851 was included in the lottery for nomination
to 'prior', following his nationalistic and secular feelings away from the land of his
birth, first towards Sublicio and then Rome.
In 1844, he met Giuditta Tavani, a girl of barely fourteen, being a frequent visitor to
the material warehouse of her father. They married almost immediately in the parish
of S. Crisogono in Rome.
In spite of Giuditta's young age, she saw in Francesco a man who, like her, loved
'liberty' and supported a secular Italian State. They married immediately and fought
together to defend the Roman Republic, which, nevertheless fell into French hands in
1849, restoring the Papal Government.
They followed the retreat towards the Adriatic to avoid heavy papal reprisals, they
headed, with Garibaldi, towards Venice. Subsequently, still refugees, passing through
Romagna, where they continued to conspire, then re-entered Rome, hidden to organise
its liberation. Here they frequented the home and the wool shop of Giulio Ajani (1835–
1890), a forgotten patriot of the time, in the Lungaretta in Trastevere.
In the late morning of 25 October 1867 around forty 'patriots', of whom twenty-five
were Romans were meeting in via della Lungaretta 97, in the Roman region of
Trastevere, within Giulio Ajani's wool factory. The group, who were conspiring against
the government of Pope Pius IX, anticipated that a direct attack by Giuseppe Garibaldi
on Rome would follow shortly after. The battle at Villa Glori on 23 October 1867
caused everyone to expect an attack and a popular uprising.
Francesco Arquati, his wife, one of their three sons, Antonio, and their comrades had
gathered to prepare cartridges, restock the rifles of their arsenal, and be ready to support
Garibaldi, in what they thought would be an imminent attack on Rome.
At around half past twelve, a platoon of papal zuavos from via del Moro, the
perpendicular street in Trastevere attacked the wool-mill building. The conspirators
tried to resist the fire. Within a short time, however, the papal troops had the better of
the situation, and managed to take the building. A few conspirators managed to escape
whilst others were captured. In the fire, nine people were killed, amongst whom,
Giudita Arquati, pregnant with her fourth child, her husband and their young son.
In 1939, the remains of Francesco, his wife Giuditta, and their son Antonio, were
transported to the Monumental Charnel House on the Janiculum hill.The figures of
Francesco and Giuditta Arquati became symbols of the struggle for the liberation of
Rome and for years the inhabitants of Trastevere and their secular and republican
associations commemorated the slaughter.
