LUIGI BERTELLI
Luigi Bertelli, also well-known as Vamba, name taken from the buffoon of “Ivanhoe”, was born in Florence in 1858 and he was an italian writer and journalist and a good educator too. During his life he wrote texts in prose, prose poems, children’s fiction and lively sonnets in Florence’s dialect. In 1887 took place his firts publication with the satirical texts’ collection “Il Barbabianca”. In 1895 he published “Il Ciondolino”, story with didactic intents about a child who’s turned into an ant. Three years later he published a text of political satire “L’onorevole Qualunqui e i suoi ultimi mesi di vita parlamentare”, but he aspired to create a greater, a production much more interesting and innovative in the journalism’s world for children. In 1906 he founded ‘’Il giornalino della Domenica’’, which will be a patriotic and irredentist propaganda medium and that kept publishing until the 1924. On its pages he published in 55 episodes “Il giornalino di Gian Burrasca” between the 1907 and the 1908: the novel was published in a volume by the publisher Benpored in 1911 and afterwards it was reprinted many times over. During his stay in Rome, Luigi Bertelli cooperated with the political weekly newspaper “Il Fanfulla della Domenica” where he published many sonnets in Florence’s dialect. His last composition was published in 1915: “I bimbi d’Italia si chiaman Balilla” that was dedicated to the brothers Giacomo and Augusto Morpurgo. They were Salomone Morpurgo’s (the librarian) sons, Giacomo died during the war in the 1916 and Augusto during the proclamation of racial laws (his necrology is the only one published in memory of a Jew). Luigi Bertelli died in 1920 and he was bured in the cemetery of San Miniato in Florence.
IL GIORNALINO DI GIAN BURRASCA
“Il giornalino di Gian Burrasca” is surely Vamba’s most popular novel in Toscany and in Italy too. The book is written like a diary, Giovanni Stoppani’s diary, the protagonist.
Giovanni is a nine years old boy with three sisters and a very rich father. His family called him “Gian Burrasca” because of his restless behavior (label that has become proverbial in Italy to indicate a very undisciplined boy). For his birthday he receives a little book where he writes everyday about his experiences. Gian Burrasca’s events are a lot and all with negative results for the poor boy that, at the end of the novel, will be sent by the family into a house of correction with one of his friends because of their bad behaviors. The end of the book lets us portend the possibilty of another Gian Burrasca’s book, continuation that was impossibile because the author died shortly afterwards the publication of the first book.
