The yearning in Nasone 4 is off the walls unhinged...aiming to post it tomorrow >:)
Hi, I loved the first chapter of Nasoni!! Can’t wait to read the rest!
I wanted to ask, what does the title mean?
Thank you and excellent question! This is answered in chapter 2, but nasoni is the plural of nasone, the public water fountains scattered through Rome. They were installed in the 1800's to provide fresh water to Roman citizens, echoing Ancient Rome, which was known for its public water fountains as well. They look like this and are, in my opinion, the most charming thing about the city. (I may be biased given all the wonders Rome has to offer, but they're just everywhere, always running, and you see people using them constantly. It's wonderful. 🥰)
I should also note that they come in different forms! Some decorative fountains are also nasone, see here:
Anyway, no need to buy bottled water in Rome ❤️
Date da bere agli assetati
Un nasone à l'entrée du Vicolo della Campanella. Les nasoni (littéralement « gros nez ») sont des fontaines publiques typiquement romaines distribuant gratuitement de l'eau potable. Elles sont apparues en 1874 et on croise toujours aujourd’hui à tous les coins de rue. On en dénombre près de 2500 sur la commune de Rome d'après Wikipedia. Petite astuce, leur "nez" est pourvu d'un trou sur sa partie supérieure et il suffit de boucher la sortie principale avec le doigt pour faire sortir l'eau par en eau et boire plus confortablement. #nasone #fontaine #vicolodellacampanella #rome #roma #ig_rome #ig_roma #volgoroma #noidiroma #visitrome #romacapitale #spqr #cosavederearoma #roma_cartoline #igersitalia #igersroma #romecity #igerslazio #ig_lazio #italie #italia #patina_perfection #fierdemonfuji (à Roma, Italia / Rome, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVSsJaYo1dB/?utm_medium=tumblr
Ti odierò, se potrò; altrimenti ti amerò mio malgrado.
-Publio Ovidio Nasone
A Roma quarche tempo fa
quanno er popolino abitava nella città
in ogni strada o un po' più in là
'na fontanella se doveva da trova',
pe fatte na bevuta e levatte quell'arsura
specie quanno d'estate c'era la calura.
Mettenno er dito sotto la cannella
dar buco usciva l'acqua della fontanella,
senza cloro e senza coloranti,
limpida e fresca da fatte casca' li denti.
Quanno er vino su la tavola mancava
e pure er frigorifero nun esisteva
pe beve l’acqua fresca 'gni famija
mannava e regazzino a rimpije 'na bottija.
Specie in estate le file se facevano,
intorno a sta fontanella li regazzini ce giocavano
le bottije se rompevano
e tornanno a casa ce scajavano.
Erano artri tempi
tempi de povera gente
che s'accontentava der gnente.
'a fontanella (Ardo e nun consumo)
