Welcome to Genzano di Lucania
Welcome to Genzano di Lucania
Dear readers; let me welcome you again to
read about my native town, as we all know every one of us is proud of our own
heritage, and so am I of course and I am proud to say that Genzano
di Lucania, is my native town, because this is the town where I was born.
So I hope that in this post I will be able to describe to you the best way
possible my home town where I was born and where I lived when I was young, so
that you may understand me better when I am talking about many other things in
the future including my home town, my life story and those events that were
taking place when I was young, which made me what I am today. Now apart what I
have said, I hope also that I would be able to find some photos of my town on
the Internet to show you as much as I can.
Now let me explain, just to make it easy to
see what this hub is all about and what Genzano can offer to those that don’t
know much about this part of the world, hereunder are some links, please point
to the link and then click on the links as prompted by your computer, if you
see a few of them, you may start to have the right opinion about this place.
Genzano di Lucania, Youtube link, I say it is
an excellent video to start with.

Genzano soccer field
Now what else I can say that would be of
interest to other people in general. I suppose that we should look at those
things that most people follow during their lives and one of these is sport. As
we all know, in Italy one of the main sports that everybody follows is what we
call here soccer, so most town have their soccer field, also Genzano di Lucania
has its own soccer field, which the inhabitant would be proud to show you; of
course there are lot of other things to see in Genzano, but let us start to show
you some photos; as we all know Italian
people love
soccer, so, Genzano as far as I remember has had a soccer team, and today they
have a proper soccer field as well. We need to say here that when I was a
teenager there was not a proper soccer field yet, anyone that was interested in
soccer had to wait after the wheat harvest to get the soccer field going for
that season. After the wheat harvest in a field at the outskirt of the town
they would flatten the ground level enough to play for that season. It was okay
then just the same, because in Southern Italy in summer is usually very dry, so
the soccer matches were on just the same, but there were times when a thunder storm
would come and ruin the sporting event. I remember this because it happened to
me when I was very young, we all had to run and find shelter wherever we could
at the nearest houses in town, we got wet, but it was fun.
Old Genzano photos
Now let me show you an aerial photos of the
oldest part of Genzano town: This first photo here shows you the oldest part of
Genzano; anyhow one has to look at the history of the region to
understand the way these old towns were built in the past. In the article shown
in this link; Now let me show you an aerial photos of the oldest part of
Genzano town: This first photo here shows you the oldest part of
Genzano, which is very ancient and there are a few stories how this
town was started, so we may have a couple of stories to tell how it came about;
So, let me say this, in my later posts there will be a story or two written how
this town was started from people living nearby perhaps in caves or other make
shift dwellings.
Anyhow one has to look at the history of the
region to understand the way that these old towns were built in the past. In
this link shown here; The town
I came from, there are a few things and a few photos showing what we mean.
About Genzano and about me
Now let me introduce myself who I am: My real
name is Francesco Menchise and I migrated to Australia a very long time ago,
but I have never forgotten my original home town of Genzano, therefore now as
you can see I am writing my memories of my life and therefore also my home
town. Now, since I am writing this article to talk about the town where I came
from, I would appreciate very much if any of my countrymen (paesani Genzanesi)
that come across this article would like to leave a comment, and also anyone
with a family name Menchise I would appreciate if they leave a comment, since
there are reasons to believe that all people in the world with their family
name Menchise are originally from the town of Genzano di Lucania; so, come on
let us hear from you all, I will appreciate it very much. I am sure that some
of you who left Genzano old enough would remember thing like this feast, (festa
della Madonna) See photos
In my life memories I will be writing several
things about Genzano whenever the occasion arises, I would also be writing all
those hearsay and stories that went around town while I lived in Genzano when I
was young, perhaps what I am going to say here might very well surprise even a
modern Genzanese person since thing have changed a lot in the last 50 years or
so, therefore don’t be surprised if you learn something from me about my
original home town of Genzano di Lucania in these articles.
Other stuff
Now that I have talked a bit about my native
town of Genzano, let me tell you a bit more about myself and what I am going to
write in these posts, you see I have already published a few articles, where I
am writing about my memories and other things as well; you are all invited to

My dearer readers and Genzanesi folks I have
to say that while I was looking for Genzano di Lucania on the Internet, I have
found on the Internet also Genzano di Roma, which is a larger town and seems to
be important in art, so allow me to introduce you to this artistic town
including what I found on You tube videos, here is a link to see and enjoy
ballet with the several links that are attached to it.
Anyhow I believe that I have said enough in this post about
both Genzanos, so see you our next post, where we will be talking about,
Genzano di Lucania history.
