Guglielmo Coladonato
Born on 3rd January 1933 at Torricella Peligna, Guglielmo Coladonato now lives and works in Rome.
At the age of 12, in common with another 150 children aged between 5 and 15, who also had been left orphans by the War, he was given a home at Silvi Marini in one of those “Villaggi dei fanciulli” (Children’s Villages) established by the Government as a gesture towards helping needy children. Most of them stayed until 1951-52.
During this period Guglielmo spent the vast amounts of free time he had, since school lessons were so few and far between, committing himself to sculpture. He transformed any materials that passed through his hands, such as plaster, stone or earth, into statues.
Once he had left the Village he went to Switzerland to further his studies and then he went to live in Rome, he married, had two children and continued with his hobby, sculpture.
Later he began to paint, also as a hobby.
Exhibitions in the large Art Galleries (Museums) in Italy, London, New York, Venezuela. Hundreds of prizes, critiques, and one very unusual event: he painted a nude female on live TV.
His success carried on. Hundreds of his works have been hung in Art Galleries in Rome, Milan, Florence, New York and London, at the United Nations and in the Hall of Deputies in Rome.
The Encyclopaedia of Italian Art speaks of him as an artist with “a fervid inspiration, lively colourings and interesting choice of subjects. The spontaneity of his painting is evident as is his imagination which enlivens all his artistic conceptions. His paintings strike one’s imagination and are easily remembered.” The atmosphere of his native land accompanies the artist in his life and inspires his work: the colours of the landscape and the Abruzzan people, which Coladonato recalls thus: “I come from Abruzzo. I always have before my eyes the openness of my native landscape nourished by light, by greys, by greens, by the countryside itself, with the melancholy, sadness of my simple people who are ready to ransom themselves for a better future. I see again my rocks, on which I embroidered my first dreams as an artist.”
Coladonato’s works each now are valued at prices varying from 600,000 Euros to 9,000,000 Euros.


Nicola D’Ascenzo
(September 25, 1871, Torricella Peligna, Italy – April 13, 1954, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
was an Italian-born American stained glass designer, painter and instructor. He is best known for creating stained glass windows for the Washington Memorial Chapel in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania; the Nipper Building in Camden, New Jersey; the Loyola Alumni Chapel of Our Lady at Loyola University Maryland; the Folger Shakespeare Library and Washington National Cathedral, both in Washington, D.C.
He was born in Torricella Peligna, Italy, into a family of artists, metalworkers and armor makers. His immediate family emigrated to the United States in 1882, and settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Working as a mural painter while in his teens, he attended night classes at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He attended and then taught at the Pennsylvania Museum School, where he met his wife, fellow instructor Myrtle Dell Goodwin (1864–1954). They married in 1894, and moved to Italy, where he studied at the Scuola Libera in Rome. The couple returned to Philadelphia in 1896, where he worked as a portrait painter and opened D’Ascenzo Studios, initially an interior decorating firm.
D’Ascenzo was awarded a medal at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago; the 1898 Gold Medal from the T-Square Club of Philadelphia; second prize for craftwork at the 1916 Americanization Through Art Exhibition in Philadelphia (Samuel Yellin was awarded first prize); and the 1925 Gold Medal from the Architectural League of New York. He exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts: 1892–1904, 1916 & 1936. He served as President of the Stained Glass Association of America, 1929–1930. He was a member of the Philadelphia Board of Education (1934–1948), and organized art exhibitions that toured the city’s public schools.The University of Pennsylvania hosted a 1938 exhibition of D’Ascenzo’s paintings, drawings and stained glass.
Between 1904 and 1954, D’Ascenzo Studios completed more than 7,800 stained glass windows.
The “Doubting Thomas” door at Christ Church Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan features a tiny bas-relief portrait of D’Ascenzo as a medieval craftsman. Wood carver Johannes Kirchmayer carved images of the various artisans who worked on the church.
D’Ascenzo, his wife Myrtle G. D’Ascenzo (1864–1954), and son Nicola Goodwin D’Ascenzo (1905–1958) are buried in the churchyard at Washington Memorial Chapel in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
The business records of D’Ascenzo Studios and sketches of many of its works are in the collection of the Athenaeum of Philadelphia. Paintings by D’Ascenzo occasionally appear at auction.
Silvio Di Luzio
Silvio Di Luzio Was a partisan in the Maiella Brigade and a hero-miner from Marcinelle. On the 8th August 1956 with the rescue team, Di Luzio took part in saving the lives of three work colleagues at Bois du Cazier following an explosion in the coalmine that caused the deaths of 262 miners. He was 79 and was born in Torricella Peligna.
An Abruzzese from the Maiella. This is the sort of man Silvio Di Luzio was. Courageous and altruistic. Clad in the gruff skin of a mountain Abruzzese. One to whom chance had gifted nothing. The morning of 8th August 1956, when the sinister lament of the siren of the coalmine at Bois du Cazier shook all of Marcinelle, he was at his home. He had only finished his turn at work a few hours previously. The management’s office at the mine sent an ambulance to fetch him.

So, when only 20 – 30 minutes had gone by following the explosion and the fire in the mine, he went down into the cursed mine-shaft with four colleagues. A black hole five metres in diameter that went on down for over a Kilometre.
Di Luzio went down in a service lift for 400 metres. Challenging fate and the flames. That is how he managed to save three of his colleagues, three poor devils who had come to Marcinelle on the basis of an agreement between governments, which provided for the Italian State to buy 200 Kilos of coal at a reasonable price for every miner sent to Belgium.
That was the sadly famous “man-coal agreement”, that Italy signed after the war to try to obtain for itself the resources necessary for reconstructing a Nation destroyed and on its knees.
Di Luzio was one of many young men who saw in this work a chance for his own redemption. A wage with which to look to one’s own future in a less desperate way. Like thousands of other young Italians, he came from the poorest part of Italy: Abruzzo and Veneto were the worst, then Calabria, Molise and Campania.
If there is one trait that distinguishes Silvio Di Luzio’s life, this hero of daily life, of work and of altruism, it was certainly the courage always to begin over again. Never to give up.
He did it at 17, when he decided not to submit any more to the abuses meted out by the Germans throughout the Maiella area. He shouldered his rifle and joined the war of the partisans. Di Luzio was one of those who liberated Italy. One of the first patriots of the Maiella Brigade to enter Bologna. Then the return home, to Torricella Peligna. The rage at feeling himself treated as a dead-weight, as a wrong-doer, because he had been a “partisan”. Immediately after the war due to the Badoglian[1] or Fascist classification, re-set up again by Togliatti[2] who at that time was Minister for Justice, which pardoned regime party officials, but which considered someone who had been a partisan as little better than a “brigand”.
Di Luzio fled Torricella and started his life over again, with four years of war service behind him. In the depths of the Belgian mines he came across German prisoners against whom he had fought.
But let’s go forwards. He did not give in. He did not sink into despair. After 10 years of working in the mine he was “promoted” and joined the rescue squad. He had started a family. Two children. He could have counted on a quiet life that morning of the 8th of August 1956, he could have decided that it was impossible to go down into that inferno, as the mine’s managers repeatedly told him. But that wasn’t his way. He was there to save the lives of his friends and he tried to do so with the courage and determination that were part and parcel of his being, an “Abruzzan from the Maiella”. That gesture really impressed Baudouin, the King of Belgium, who that same year, 1956, conferred on him the highest honour of the State. The TV film “Marcinelle” was also inspired by the acts of Di Luzio. His heroic gesture was played on the screen by Claudio Amendola[3].
The man from the Maiella continued to work for a further 15 years after the tragedy. He was a workman in a steelworks. He had to bring up his children. In this world that recognises nothing one cannot live on medals.
His greatest pride was to have succeeded in helping his son to become an engineer. And to have “set up” his daughter.
For his entire life, the man from the Maiella fought for the memory of his friends who died in the coal mine. Especially when they wanted to knock down the remains of the mine’s towers, in order to build a Hypermarket on top of it. This was the last great battle of a real man. The mine at Bois du Cazier is now a museum dedicated to the memory of the work of Italians abroad, but we shall miss the hoarse voice of Silvio, the partisan miner from the Maiella.

Vincenzo Di Paola
Vincenzo Di Paola was born in Torricella Peligna (Chieti) on 20 October 1836. He received his first training in a private school inspired by the methods and ideals of Basilio Puoti, founded and directed in Agnone by some young liberal priests: among these, Francescantonio Marinelli (the «dear master» with whom Vincenzo maintained an affectionate correspondence relationship between 1886 and 1892) and ➙ Ippolito Amicarelli.
He continued his studies in Naples, graduating in Law in 1857. The day after the Unification, he was called to teach the Italian language and composition in the girls’ school of Campobasso (1864). Appointed professor of Italian literature in the Pagano high school in the same city in 1867 (some speeches read on the occasion of the literary festivals held there date back to this period), the DP held parallel teaching positions in the magisterial conferences of Molise, entering the lively debate of the time on the question of the teaching of grammar, as «not a friend of Grammar, and an advocate of example as an educational tool» ( Preamble given by Professor Vincenzo Di Paola to his language lessons in master’s conferences, 1870). He also carried out teaching activities as a professor of Italian in the technical schools and in the normal men’s school of the Molise capital.
He later landed at the prestigious “Visconti” high school in Rome which was followed, in the 1980s, by the position of dean-rector of the “Duni” boarding school in Matera and then of a similar institute in L’Aquila. Promoted to education supervisor, the DP served in Ascoli Piceno, Livorno and finally in Bergamo, where he ended his career (the memories of his life spent “almost all in and for schools”, together with poetic and educational writings, are collected in the autobiographical volume Versi e prose, 1911). The DP died in Torricella Peligna in 1918.
Dan Fante
Dan Fante was born in Los Angeles in 1946. Son of writer John Fante, he writes plays, poetry and novels. At the age of twenty, he left his studies and began to travel, living a ‘difficult’ life and gripped by alcohol problems. He does all sorts of jobs. He began writing in the 1990s inspired by his experiences on the edge of the existential abyss.
For some years now, his fame has been on the rise. He has just signed a contract with the prestigious US publishing house Harper Collins, which has republished all of his works.
In Italy the following have been released: Angels in Pieces, Marcos y Marcos, 1999; Hooks, Marcos y Marcos, 2000; Mae West, East of the Equator, 2008; Don Giovanni, Edizioni Spartaco, 2009 and Buttarsi, Marcos y Marcos, 2010.


Luigi ‘Gigi’ Mancini
Mancini began his career in aviation in 1914, when he went to the First Civil School of Flight in Rome, and took part in 1915 in the Group of Voluntary Aviators, with the Honourable Montù, at Mirafiori. As a War Pilot, he flew a Caproni aircraft to one of the first attacks on enemy aircraft, using a rifle he’d carried aboard, to try and hit the adversary’s aircraft. As a Fighter Pilot he then faced up to many air battles for which his name was put forward for the Silver and Bronze Medals for Military Valour.
After the War his passion for flying pushed him towards air competitions, beating records and commercial air transport. For several years he was the Editor in Rome of the “Gazetta dell’Aviazione” (The Aviation Gazette),; he founded and directed the review “Aeronautica” (Aeronautics), “Orario Aereo” (Air Hours), “Ali d’Italia” (Wings of Italy), apart from special numbers dedicated to particular air-shows and manifestations etc. His last publication, that has been out for a number of years now, and still being published at the time of his death, was “La ruota diorama” (The Diorama Wheel).
There is one of Mancini’s publications that deserves special mention for various reasons: first and foremost because it was truly an original work for the era in which it was written, 1936; it is in fact the “Grande Enciclopedia Aeronautica” (The Great Aeronautic Encyclopedia), a juge volume with 660 pages of text, and innumerable illustrations. It might seem strange that Mancini’s Encyclopedia had no further editions or periodic updates. This lack of continuity, according to us, does not lie with the work itself, but can be attributed rather to something curiously lacking in Mancini’s temperament; a profoundly independent spirit and aware of his own capacities and accomplishments, he did not have one of the most secure levers of success, that of being able to call for the support of the powerful for own ideas. He did things himself and he cared about doing things himself, almost like continually throwing himself a challenge.
It is also for this reason, apart from all the events in his life as an aviator, that perhaps Luigi Mancini will not be remembered with spectacularly loud cheers, but he will certainly remain within the centre of the hearts of those who knew him. Finally, to those of us who were his colleagues and pupils, apart from Mancini the pioneer of flight, of aeronautics, and of commercial air links, we are deeply sorry not to be able to give a drawn-out description of the golden human attributes of his personality, his modesty, his generosity and the affectionate altruism which all made his sincere friendship an inestimable treasure.
Gianni Materazzo
Gianni Materazzo spends his childhood and adolescence in Tripoli, Libya. Returning to Italy, he settled with his family in Bologna where he still lives and works and where, usually, he set his detective novels which feature the lawyer Luca Marotta.
Graduated in law, he will make very limited use of his qualification, passing instead, through a series of work experiences that have little to do with codes and law: publicist, teacher, assistant director, illustrator, advertising graphic designer, comic book designer.
In ’ 74 the first and only children’s bookshop opens in Bologna – now Città del Sole -, which, in addition to promoting meetings and debates, over time it also becomes an important didactic reference point for kindergartens and the first cycle. He makes his debut as a yellowist,not writing a novel but drawing a comic detective for ‘ Orient Express ’, the magazine directed at the time by Luigi Bernardi. The story is taken from a novel by Loriano Macchiavelli, ‘ The tracks of the attack ’, and will be republished in 2005 by the publisher Dario Flaccovio in an edition for collectors.
Only a few years later he also ventured into genre fiction, writing his first detective novel, ‘ Imperfect crimes ’, and unexpectedly winning the ‘ Alberto Tedeschi Prize ’ at the Mystfest in Cattolica in 1989. Also published by Giallo Mondadori, three other novels will follow: ‘ Cherchez la femme ’, ‘ Villa Maltraversi ’, ‘ The labyrinths of memory ’. From the first three, RAI draws as many TV series ( title of the series, ‘ Three steps in the crime ’ ), which are broadcast in the early evening with a remarkable success in listening and criticism.
The main interpreter of the films is Gioele Dix in the hardened role of Luca Marotta, an anomalous lawyer figure. Meanwhile, it becomes part of the historian ‘ Thirteen Group ’ which brings together writers from the yellows of Bologna and its surroundings, many of whom are well known to readers of the genre. He also writes numerous short stories for anthologies and collections, as well as for newspapers and magazines, such as ‘ Joy ’, ‘ Modern Woman ’ The Red Shrimp ‘.
He then spent a long period during which he collaborated with First Film, a television production company, writing subjects, treatments, screenplays. For a couple of years he has resumed his activity as a yellowist, completing the drafting of two new novels. The first, ‘ Friday 17 ’, is a story between yellow and thriller that takes place in Positano in the middle of a torrid summer: once again the lawyer Marotta is the protagonist.
The novel was published by Alberto Perdise Editore in June 2006. The second, ‘ The family album ’, is instead a noir set in the distant, dark years ’ 50: theater of the story is in a small, remote country of the central Apennines. The latter novel was released in bookstores in September 2007, published by Alberto Perdisa Editore.

Ettore Porreca
Ettore Porreca di ciufielle was born in Torricella Peligna in 1920.
He now lives in Buffalo, New York. He has been a professional photographer http://www.ettoreinjapan.com/ and musician. The Professional Photographers of America granted him the prestigious titles of “Master of Photography” and “Craftsman of Photography” for the outstanding quality of his work and for his contributions to the profession.
He recently turned 90, and he still sings and plays jazz of the 1930s and 1940s with the Sentimental Journey Band. He was featured on page 23 of the 18th issue of Chi’ssi dicie?, the online Italian newsletter dedicated to Torricella Peligna. Click here for the translation, “Ettore Porreca di ciufielle, Accomplished Photographer and Musician”.

Lelio Porreca
Writer, poet, ecologist, and first supporter of the National Park of the Majella
Whilst Porreca wrote – notes about customs, studies of working-class traditions, historical research and about tourism – in the daily newspapers and in periodicals, at the same time he also used to dedicate himself to recovering archaeological finds dating as far back as the 6th Century BC, such as the bronze helmet of Torricella Peligna, kept at the National Museum of Chieti. The first resumption of systematic excavation at Juvanum in the territory of Montenerodomo is due to Porreca.
The satirical small volume “Small Portrait of a Political Career-ist” published in 1961 serves as a reminder of that incandescent political period. Since then Porreca has identified the causes of political degeneration and the emergence of the disease, “protagonism”, which makes people desirous only of satisfying their own interests whilst controlling the will of the electors, as a response to the complex demands of society. We should go back and read those pages again, to remind ourselves about fulfilling these needs, because they have largely been forgotten about, in the years since they were written. Thus it would be advisable to find one of the last articles Porreca wrote, addressed to intellectuals. It would take too long to go over all his publications, but we must mention the one called “A Walk in Abruzzo” where we meet: the call to religion from the earth; the reference to historical roots in the phases of civil development and subsequent decadence; modification of customs but also traditions preserved. Thus, whilst the author speaks about present-day realities, he also subjects the images to a continual decline, which moves between memories of the past to expectations and hope in the future. Meanwhile he deduces that the streets of Abruzzo can draw out the means of survival from the beauties of nature and from the charms of history. Thus the localities appear to be alive, Guardiagrele, Gessopalena, Torricella Peligna, Montenerodomo, Majella, the National Park of Abruzzo and the Cavallone Grotto.
Porreca’s work called “Once Upon a Time There Was the Sky”, edited in 1982; it is a novel set in Agnone.(1) In it he writes both of the vicissitudes of the last war and also about the rebirth of hope and of love. In this work Porreca’s art has reached maturity in his use of expressive methods capable of interpreting even the slightest wisps of thought and the most hidden movement’s of the soul.
To complete this picture of Lelio Porreca we recall that he was a founder of “Pro-Loco” (2) of Torricella Peligna and as its president he was the guiding spirit of so many events held to promote and develop tourism in the entire region. He organised the Congress “Let us Save the Majella” in January 1971 which aroused great interest at the National Level because of its ecological ideas concerning protection of mountain zones, earning the approval of Indiro Montanelli in one of his editorials entitled “Civismo” (3) which appeared in the “Corriera della Sera”.(4)
In defence of nature Porreca intervened to block the advances of a stone quarry which was destroying “La Morgia” a majestic limestone mass of natural panoramic beauty, which rises between Gessopalena and Torricella Peligna.
For having produced so much literature, Lelio Porreca will live on in the hearts and souls of all those who read his many works and share his message of love for nature, for history, for ideals and values, by which he lived cohesively both as a man and as a citizen.
Antonio Piccone Stella
Director of Journalistic services for RAI from 1946 to 1962
