For proper information of visitors to our blog, called directly into question by Mr. Benigno Suffoletta, we report its declaration made by the association De Stephanis.
"I thank the Chairman of De Stephanis, Dr Marcello Bonitatibus, which allowed me to write these notes on the site.
Watching" the buzzard "I often read that some" anonymous "are expressed their disappointment at the loss that has caused the cashier of the City of Pettorano, spending around 200 € for the event in my honor on 10 July last
Sorry!
If careful anonymous officially require a refund of the amount spent by "the buzzard" by signing the request with name and surname and thus exiting their "awkward position" of anonymity, I will immediately gift to the municipality's coffers to double the amount they feared, if the good mayor, dr. Berarducci, and the majority of Councillors are in agreement, which still have to thanks for the celebrations of my eighty years.
Certainly if he had won the other list would not have celebrated, and, by their calm, reassuring them that I would survive anyway.
occasion I remember that one day, before being elected mayor in 1975, passing through Piazza San Marco in Pettorano, I noticed that the centuries-old statue of St. Anthony, located on the arc , was gone.
I was told that the Mayor, in agreement with the Administration, had made and removed, without any respect for the Great Healer, deposit made in a barn in the middle "ceppaglie.
I called the Mayor and Deputy Mayor who told me that the arc was not stable and, therefore, was made necessary the removal of the saint.
also complained that they could not carry out the work of consolidation of the arc as the city did not have the funds available, so the statue would remain there, to land until the next election.
of respect for the saint, of which I am devoted, I rearrange the structure of the bow and replace the statue in its place.
The cost for the intervention was about £. 3,000,000 (in the years 1973-74 the monthly wage of a worker was about £ .150.000), and I paid with pleasure.
remember that John Lancia, Zorro said, was one of my workers who worked as a carpenter for intervention.
The following year, the Deputy Mayor, came to my studio with Roccaraso Pasqualino De Panfilis to beg me to make available to the City of Pettorano my truck with the driver, for distribution of wood for civic use.
I sent free of charge for eight days, the truck with the driver: the late Sebastiano Schiappa. The Mayor sent me, kindly, a letter of thanks.
Infine voglio ricordare agli anonimi, che il sottoscritto รจ stato l’unico che ha dato un riconoscimento a tutti i carbonai - polentari di Pettorano consegnando, a due la medaglia d’oro e a trenta la medaglia d’argento. Nelle case di quei lavoratori si possono ancora ammirare questi riconoscimenti.
Benigno Suffoletta"
