Casamonica

Or how a case of one mafiosi Roma family, long already in jail, continues to make the headlines. This is bad, as effectively, it is a single case, and is not representative.

Pavia, the Church, and Sinti

Published by:

Quite out of the ordinary: “Sinti and Roma cannot be moved as if they were numbers; a path of integration is needed”. A heartfelt appeal that came last night from the bishop, Monsignor Corrado Sanguineti, during Vespers for the Holy Thorns. He was referring to the potential closure of a camp.

Italy and Roma

The mayor of Gallarate, a town not far from Milan was brought to court by Roma families who accuse him of defamation, as he openly said they were a bunch of thieves. It is part of a longer battle between the mayor and the Roma, as the mayor tried to evict them, and was forced to restore services he had cut off by a court in Milan.

Review of the Biennale

Published by:

Poland is represented this year by the exhibition “Charming the world” by Małgorzata Mirga-Tas. How was it created? And will it be possible to see it in Poland?

Roma culture is strongly associated with dance and music, but seldom with visual arts. This changes slowly, among others thanks to Małgorzata Mirga-Tas, who now represents Poland at the Venice Biennale – the most important event of this type in the world.

The artist is a Romni and has devoted all her work to date to the fight to change the historical narrative of the Roma community. Both the romantic one, showing the Roma people as free, dealing mainly with music and wandering around the world, and the ominous one – ascribing to them a tendency to cheat and trick others. She does it in an artistically original, intriguing and, above all, convincing way. – I don’t want to fight the whole world, naively thinking that it will suddenly change everything.

Venice Biennale

The art of Małgorzata Mirga-Tas is an attempt or a tool to unlearn thinking that lead to the current war, say Joanna Warsza and Wojciech Szymański, curators of the exhibition “Przeczarowanie świat”, which will be shown at the Polish Pavilion in Venice as part of the Art Biennale 2022.

Rome and Roma

The city of Rome is reassessing and rearranging its department responsible for running the Roma camps in the capital. Well, not sure this will change anything, as the situation has not evolved in at least 30 years …

Seems that the old plans of former mayor Raggi to close camps and relocate them are still being enforced. It also seems that the money is totally wasted, not helping relocating Roma.

Unfortunately not surprising.

Casamonica, Again!

Published by:

Another article on the villas of the Roma Mafia Clan of Casamonica.

Knowing that all the members of the clan are in jail, and have been so for several years, and knowing that these villas and their pictures have been shown numerous times since, one cannot but wonder what the purpose of such articles is.

Rome and Roma

Published by:

A diatribe against Roma in Rome and against the funding set to help them in the camps. The reason: the toxic fumes emanating from many of these camps due, most probably to the burning of wires to recuperate metals.
