TRADITIONAL DANCE: La Polesana

2009-06-19T09:37:00.008+02:00

La Polesàna è una danza popolare veneta, chiamata così perché originaria del Polesine, di ritmo binario: 6/8 o 6/4 o 3/4. Inizialmente era una canzone da ballare durante le nozze

Coreografia Uomini e donne, alternati, si dispongono in cerchio e formano una catena chiusa con le braccia sulle spalle dei compagni che stanno ai lati. Cominciano a ballare muovendosi verso destra con un passo incrociato. Gamba destra avanti segue la sinistra dietro, per cinque passi. Si ritorna poi, con lo stesso passo, dalla parte sinistra, partendo questa volta con la sinistra davanti e la destra dietro, per altri cinque passi. Al cambiamento della musica (cioè alla Liolela), il cerchio si ferma e tutti si mettono a fare un passo sforbiciato sul posto. Quindi si riprende con il passo incrociato ma cambiando la direzione, prima verso sinistra poi verso destra, sempre per cinque passi. Allorchè ritorna il motivo della Liolela la donna lascia la spalla sinistra del compagno di destra e si sposta verso sinistra facendo perno con il braccio sinistro,quindi stacca la presa e si appoggia con il braccio destro sulla spalla sinistra del compagno, ritornando nel cerchio e appoggiando il braccio sinistro su un nuovo compagno per richiudere il cerchio. In questo modo tutte le donne scaleranno di un uomo. Si riprende tutto dall’inizio.

TRADITIONAL DANCE: Sette Passi (seven steps)

2009-06-19T08:36:00.006+02:00

E' una danza popolare ballata soprattutto nel Polesine fin prima dell'ultima guerra.Il ballo è di origine tedesca Siebenschitte. A Fratta Polesine, fino agli anni ' 50, i bambini dell'asilo la cantavano come canzoncina sul motivo della danza. Presso le comunità venete dell'Istria questa danza viene ancora eseguita con la stessa musica e i testi sono simili a quelli polesani. Come canzone-a-ballo, fino a qualche anno fa, sopravviveva anche nel Trentino. Ritmo binario: 2/4. struttura: AB

Testo del canto polesano: Cori-cori Bepi se te me voj ciapar cori-cori Toni se te me voj ciapar un do e tre e un do e tre fin ca coro no' me ciapè. So' sòto de na gamba no' posso caminar so' sòto de na gamba no' posso caminar un do e tre e un do e tre gnanca 'sta volta no' me ciapè. Cori-cori Bepi se te me voj ciapar cori-cori Toni se te me voj ciapar nove, disnove, quarantatrè pulca, masurca e valsovien.

Coreografia Uomini e donne si dispongono a coppia uno di fronte all’altro in modo da formare due file (una di uomini, una di donne).
Figura 1) Entrambe le file si muovono verso destra con sette passi (gamba destra avanti, incrocio con la sinistra dietro), poi si ritorna in posizione di partenza con altri sette passi verso sinistra.
Figura 2) Ritornello. Le coppie si prendono sottobraccio con la destra e la coppia gira con passo saltellato su se stessa, per poi riaprirsi e tornare al proprio posto.
Figura 3) Saluto. Le coppie si avvicinano con sette piccoli passi e si salutano con un inchino.
Figura 2 )Ritornello
Figura 4) Scambio. Le coppie si cambiano di posto (l’uomo va al posto della donna e viceversa) sempre con sette piccoli passi, si salutano, e con altri sette passi tornano al proprio posto
Figura 2) Ritornello
Figura 1) Si ricomincia da capo
Le figure possono ripetersi a seconda del fraseggio musicale.

Carnival Masks

Venetian Carnival Masks

AT THE TIME OF THE REPUBLIC......
The Venetians used to wear masks not only during Carnival but also on many other occasions during the year.
Of course they wanted to disguise and conceal their appearance and they didn’t want to be recognized in particular places or occasions.
Women wore masks also for beauty: a mask of black velvet brought out the whiteness of their faces.
”Maschereri” created masks and their craft spread everywhere.
You can still buy beautiful handmade masks, everywhere in the city.

Gondolata di Natale

2008-12-27T21:30:00.006+01:00

Hello! Please click on the title to look at our photos!

The whole primary school Don Milani (about 100 of us, our teachers and our headteacher) took part in the traditional Gondolata on the Grand Canal in Venice. Altogether 17 gondolas were prepared for us! We were very lucky: only one school is selected every year. It was our turn this year.
But surprise...surprise...Babbo Natale came along and gave us sweets!
But it wasn't easy. He had to throw them from his gondola and we had to catch them in the air! That was fun! Luckily nobody fell into the water ^_^
We also blow bubbles and sung songs:-)

Winter Festivities in Italy

2008-12-14T17:04:00.027+01:00

In Italy, we usually celebrate these winter festivities:

December 6. Festa di San Nicolò on Murano Island in Venice is a week-long celebration for San Nicolò, the patron saint of glass blowers. There's a procession on the water.

December 8: the Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception, Festa dell’Immacolata is a national holiday. Although schools, government offices and banks are closed, many stores stay open for holiday shoppingMost families usually prepare the Xmas treethe crib and start decorating their houses. Some people go to the mountains to ski or to visit Xmas markets
The city is full of lights and decorations.

December 13: Santa Lucia Day is celebrated in many Italian towns. One of the biggest celebrations is in Sicily where the city of Siracusa holds a huge parade carrying the saint on a golden coffin to the Church of Santa Lucia. Until 1861 relics of Saint Lucy were venerated in a church dedicated to her in Venice; after its demolition, they were translated to the church of San Geremia, where they can still be seen. On the night between 12 and 13, she brings gifts to children in some Italian regions. We usually say: "Santa Lucia è la notte più lunga che ci sia"
St. Lucy's day is the longest night of the year.

December24: Xmas Eve.
Most people are having a large dinner called “cenone” , which traditionally consists of fish.
Some families go to midnight mass
Children are very excited, they look forward to opening Father Xmas’ presents.

25th: A very merry Christmas
Buon Natale a tutti!!!! Today is a fantastic day, children open their presents, sing and listen to Xmas songs ; some people go to the church and all families have a big lunch: Roast meat, capon or turkey, and vegetables. We have typical cakes: panettone or pandorobiscuits, fruit salad and nougat “torrone”. In the afternoon, people play bingo “tombola” or watch a cartoon on tv, or visit relatives.

26th: Saint Stephen's Day, the day after Christmas, is a national holidy in Italy, some people go on holidays to the mountains .

Italians love festivals and the ending of the old year and beginning of the new year, il capodanno, is a great time to celebrate in Italy.
31st: on New Year’s Eve, La Festa di San Silvestro, everyone is getting ready for the big dinner and party together with familiy and friends.
The star of the dinner is lentils, symbolizing money and good fortune for the coming year. Traditionally, the dinner in many parts of Italy also includes a cotechino, a large spiced sausage, or a zampone, stuffed pig's trotter.
There are huge midnight fireworks to celebrate the coming of the new year.
Dancing is also popular and many towns have public music and dancing before the fireworks. In Venice there is a huge popular outdoor show with pop and rock bands.

Guests of private or public parties are sometimes entertained with a game called "Tombola", similar to Bingo.
The New Year is also celebrated with spumante or prosecco, Italian sparkling wine.

New Year parties will often last until sunrise in order to watch the first sunrise of the newborn year.
An old custom that is still followed in some places, especially in the south, is throwing your old things out the window to symbolize your readiness to accept the New Year. So, keep an eye out for falling objects if you're walking around near midnight!
Oh, one more thing, don't forget to wear your red underwear to ring in the new year! They say it'll bring you luck in the coming year.

If you receive a kiss under the mistletoe, or if you eat grapes or “lentis” you will be lucky for all the year!!

1st Jan. People sleep until late in the morning because of the parties of the day before. We have lunch and in the afternoon we visit relatives or we go to the cinema or simply we relax watching television. Some people go skiing in the Dolomites, where children can play with the snow and enjoy throwing snowballs, making snowmen or go sledging down the mountains.

6th Jan. The Feast of the Epiphany is celebrated with a national holiday in Italy, and the tradition of La Befana are a big part of Italian Christmas celebrations.
Epiphany commemorates the 12th day of Christmas when the three Wise Men arrived at the manger bearing gifts for Baby Jesus.
Italy's traditional celebration includes the tale of a white-haired witch known as La Befana who arrives on her broomstick during the night of January 5 and fills the children’s stockings with toys and sweets for the good children and lumps of coal for the bad ones.

Children recite:
La befana vien di notte,
con le scarpe tutte rotte,
con il vestito da romana,
viva, viva la Befana!
But… Il giorno dell’ ’Epifania tutte le feste si porta via…
Unfortunately, holidays finish and children come back to school.

Did you know?
Green, white, and red—the colours of Italy's national flag, and the traditional Christmas colours as well.
It may not be a surprise, then, that Christmas probably originated in Italy.
