the aim of Co.As.It. Resource Centre to help teachers thrive in a world that is much too busy. So please always consider contacting us with your requests for resources or assistance in
any other way. Contact can be made by phone 9349 9018 or email [email protected].

Texts using “il congiuntivo”
From: Congiuntivo, che passione!: teoria e pratica per capire e usare il congintivo in italiano, By Loredana Chiappino & Nuccia De Filippo, Bonacci Editore, Italy, 2014.
“Il congiuntivo è un animale di origini italiane quasi estinto in tutto il mondo.”
“Penso che un sogno così non ritorni mai più….”
Domenico Modugno, “Nel blu dipinto di blu.” (Domenico Modugno, Fonit)
“Crediamo che La Pasta sia cultura del nostro Paese.” Cos imo Rummo
“Primavera non bussa, lei entra sicura
Come il fumo lei penetra in ogni fessura ha le labbra di carne, i capelli di grano
che paura, che voglia che ti prenda per mano! Che paura, che voglia che ti porti lontano!”
Fabrizio De Andre, Un chimico (Giuseppe Bentivoglio, Fabrizio De Andrè, Nicola Piovani, Ricordi)

Una rivista femminile pubblica cinque consigli di saggezza per le giovani donne:
1. Trova un uomo che ti aiuti volentieri in casa e che abbia un buon impiego.
2. Trova un uomo spiritoso che ti faccia ridere. 3. Trova un uomo affidabile che non ti menta mai. 4. Trova un uomo che sappia amarti. 5. Fa’ in modo che nessuno di questi quattro uomini sappia dell’esistenza degli altri.
La Settimana Enigmistica, n. 4258m 02/11/2013
Beh! Sono sorpresa! Ho sempre creduto che tu fossi alto uno e 84. “No, Stefano.” Era la prima volta che lo chiamava per nome. “Ormai lo abbiamo stabilito, che è l’ultima volta che stiamo insieme.” “E sia” disse Stefano. “Ma allora, se proprio non ci dobbiamo più rivedere, permetta che le dica una cosa anch’io...” Le stava davanti in piedi: “Mara...io rimpiango di non averla conosciuta prima.” Ella abbassò gli occhi: “Quando prima?”
“Quando era libera.” E aggiunse: “Mara, mi dica una cosa sola: se il suo cuore fosse stato libero, crede che avrebbe potuto avere della simpatia per me?” Ella assentì con la testa.
“No, me lo dica guardandomi negli occhi.” Mara obbedì macchinalmente e ripetè: “Sì.” “Grazie, Mara. Sarà una consolazione magra, ma mi fa piacere pensare che se ci fossiamo conosciuti in un’altra circostanza, anche lei avrebbe potuto volermi bene. Perchè io le ho voluto bene fin dalla prima volta.” La Ragazza di Bube by Carlo Cassola

Mamma e papà sono davero delusi,
Albertino: credevamo che la tata ti avesse educato meglio!
“Io da anni urlavo quasi: ma è possible che non si possa fare un film su una donna qualunque, che non sia bella, non sia giovane...
perchè non un film su una donna della strada che non sia diva, falsa? Quando vennero a leggermi il copione di Roma città aperta, “ci siamo,”
pensai, “questo è meraviglioso.” Dalla quarta di copertino di “Nannarella – Il romanzo di Anna Magnani”, Giancarlo Governi, Minimum fax
La villeggiatura in panchina
Andando ogni mattino al suo lavoro, Marcovaldo passava sotto il verde d’una piazza alberata, un quadrato di giardino pubblico ritagliato in mezzo a quattro vie. Alzava l’occhio tra le fronde degli ippocastani, dov’erano più folte e solo lasciavano dardeggiare gialli raggi nell’ombra trasparente di linfa, ed ascoltava il chiasso dei passeri stonati ed invisibili sui rami. A lui parevano usignoli e si diceva: “Oh, potessi destarmi una volta al cinguettare degli uccelli e non al suono della sveglia e allo strillo del neonato Paolino e all’inveire di mia moglie Domitilla!”
oppure: “Oh, potessi dormire qui, solo in mezzo a questo fresco verde e non nella mia stanza bassa e calda; qui nel silenzio, non nel russare e parlare nel sonno di tutta la famiglia e correre di tram giù nella strada; qui nel buio
naturale della notte, non in quello artificiale delle persiane chiuse, zebrato dal riverbero dei fanali: oh, potessi vedere foglie e cielo aprendo gli occhi!” Con questi pensieri tutti i giorni Marcovaldo incominciava le sue otto ore
giornaliere – più gli straordinari – di manovale non qualificato. Ita lo Ca lvino, Marcovaldo, Einaudi Edi tore

Congiuntivo, che passione!: teoria e pratica per capire e usare il congiuntivo in italiano, livello B1-C2, by Loredana Chiappini and Nuccia De Filippo,Bonacci editore, Formello, Italy, 2014
The purpose of this book is to consolidate and refine the understanding of “il congiuntivo” especialy for more advanced students who have attained a level B1 – C2. The vast range of activities give ample practice opportunities, while the texts are selected from a wide range of sources and include literature, newspaper articles, cartoons, advertising and songs. An answer key is available on line.
Nonna’s gnocchi by Rebecca Huntley &illustrated by Ilona Tar, Little People Publishing, NSW, 2014 Stephanie Alexander writes “This delightful story will almost
certainly lead to a gnocchi-making session …make sure you have some potatoes in the cupboard! Subtly it reinforces the importance of traditional knowledge and of
how it is passed from one generation to another.” This book is truly pleasing to the senses with charming illustrations and a text which is simple but engaging.
Suitable for primary students and for anyone who has ever eaten gnocchi.

Il Boom Economico “The years 1948-53 were difficult years for Italy from the economic point of view, but from 1954 onwards recovery was rapid and, since 1956 and Italy’s entry into the European Common Market, overwhelming. This
was the so-called “economic miracle”: production figures, national income and consumption, all began to rise dizzily. No sector of industry was excluded from the general growth. The s teel industry, with the new
integrated plants of Cornigliano and Taranto, tripled its production over a few years, while the chemical and petro industries, both private and state-owned expanded explosively. Italian clothes and shoes made their
mark on the main European markets; building, and the related industries of cement and bricks, did excellent business. The most spectacular development was in the automobile industry, in which FIAT by now had a near-monopoly. The years 1956-67 were the period when the mass of Italians became motorized, and the great
Turin factory, one of the “big boys” of international industry, now produced more than a million vehicles per year. Following this sudden industrial expansion, millions of farmers left the country-side to look for work in
the cities of the industrial north. This has without doubt been the greatest mixing of population that has ever taken place in united Italy; not the least consequence of it is that the country’s double face has become even
more marked. Another migration of peoples, of a seasonal and pleasure-seeking nature, on the other hand, is that of the twenty or more million foreign tourist who descend on Italy’s beaches and towns every year.
Fiat motor cars in Piazza del Popolo, Rome
Finally, after years of stinting and privation, the Italians discovered a certain well -being: consumption of meat and sugar, formerly very low, rose, and the rooftops became crowded with television aerials, which brought
to everyone, together with the popular songs of innumerable festivals that took place the length of Italy, the paternal and persuasive voice of preachers and Christian democrat ministers.
The economic miracle also had its heroes. One of these, in a sense, was Enrico Mattei, a valiant partisan who like an ex-Garibaldino of the late nineteenth century, became a leader of industry. To his name is linked the
development of ENI and the attempt, made with a boldness and enterprise worthy of the old Italian merchants, to release Italy from the monopoly of the great international petroleum companies. With this intention, he established a series of contacts with colonial and newly independent peoples, and he is also said to have financed the Algerian National Liberation Front. He died in 1962, in an air-crash, and sabotage was
immediately suspected. The economic miracle had its artist too, Federico Fellini, whose exceptional talent sublimates the
exuberance and vulgarity of the new parvenus, the Catholicism and atavistic clericalism, heavy with
Il Centro – Co.As.It Resource Centre Newsletter Volume 22, Issue 4
complexes, of the new Christian democrat Italy, its sense of and taste for sin, its progressive and traditionalist
attitudes.
Downtown Mi lan in the 1960s
But like all the other miracles encountered during Italy’s history, the economic miracle had its reverse side.
The building-boom which took the form of the most frenzied speculation, damaged, probably beyond repair, the quality of Italy’s main towns, and irreparably scarred landscapes unique to the world. Mass-motorization
was artificially swollen beyond the country’s economic capacities, both by the cunning use of techniques of persuasion and by the State deliberately neglecting to improve means of transport. While thousands of
kilometres of motorways were built, the closing of 500 kilometres of motorways was contemplated, and public transport in towns was forced to move at walking-pace in the chaos of town traffic.
While there were inconveniences and there was a price to the progress, it certainly cannot be denied that in
the decade of “the boom” Italy managed finally to break the chains of backwardness in which it was held for centuries, and joined the small number of industrially advanced countries. But what leaves many Italians perplexed and skeptical when they consider the economic miracle is that there was no parallel social progress. The condition of Italian workers remains precarious and hard; unemployment, in spite of the safety valve of emigration, which has involved about 3 million people, still remains at a disturbing level.
What the miracle was not able to achieve was a significant narrowing of the gap between the two halves of the country. More than any other European country, post-war Italy remains divided between advanced and relatively backward societies. This dualism is rooted deeply in Italian history, and is linked to the relative
geographical isolation of the south from European commercial and cultural influences, and to its long history of feudal class relations.
Today, its consequences are seen not just in disparities in industrial structure and living standards, but in education, literacy levels, administrative competence, and so on.”

Spectacular Spettacolo Shows For 2014!
“Time Warp Part 1 and 2” may be finished, but Spectacular Spettacolo will be back in 2014 with the
final part of the trilogy (for the final year), “Part 3 – Vacanze Romane”. These shows are relevant for students Prep – 6 and are from our very popular “Time Warp” series (more information on our shows including sample songs are available on our website at www.leaporcaro.com.au/spectacular-
spettacolo/).
The shows have been written by Lea and Corrado Porcaro. Corrado has been teaching Italian for almost 30 years in the Primary sector, as well as having developed many programs for the
Department of Education over the years. Many teachers already use resources that he has created in their classrooms. Corrado knows the curriculum like the back of his hand and he has written these shows knowing what teachers (and students) not only need, but want. This is why we have had 100%
positive feedback so far!
Our shows are not only dynamic, fun, engaging, interactive and contain fresh, new, popular songs relevant for the students of today, they also cover different areas of Italy as well as topics that
relate back to the current curriculum. For example, in “Part 3 – Vacanze Romane”, our heroine, Claudia, returns to Italy and each place she visits, we have a song that relates back to what the
students are learning. Every booking will also include the fantastic teachers’ pack which contains over a semester’s worth of material (including loads of lesson plans with fun ideas on how to introduce the language used throughout the show either before or after the students have seen it), the lyrics to
all the songs sung throughout the show and a copy of the CD. The pack has also been put together by Corrado. Feedback from teachers in regards to this pack has been extraordinary!
For all booking enquiries, you can do one of the following:
- log onto our website at www.leaporcaro.com.au/spectacular-spettacolo/ and fill in the booking form on the ‘contact us’ page
- email Lea at [email protected]
or - call Lea on 0432 388 032
I look forward to hearing from you all soon. Please keep an eye on the website or join our mailing list
for special offers throughout the year.

ALL YEAR ROUND PASTA MAKING WORKSHOPS
We were in the middle of a long hot summer in Italy. The whole
family was holidaying in the tiny village which was the place of
my husband’s birth. We were invited to Zia’s for lunch.
Be there at “mezzogiorno”- she said. We knew not to be late.
We arrived right on the dot of 12:00 and were shown into
the dining room. Zia, was pleased and immediately
started to crack the eggs into the flour and began
making the pasta that we were to eat for lunch.
She did it with such ease and in no time it was cooked
