Welcome to our article, Genzano di Lucania.
Dear readers, let me tell you about my native town of Genzano di Lucania, because I am writing my life story and my native town. Genzano is a town in Southern Italy and the town I came from. Anyhow, I hope that some readers that have emigrated themselves, like to read this article.
Now, allow me to
explain the situation, since I am an Italian born and grew in
this town of Genzano di Lucania, I suppose that most of my town people would
have liked to see this article written in Italian; but that has not been
possible to do for a couple of reasons, first because our computer programs are
in English, therefore, it is hard to write in another language other than
English, because the computer will mark those writing as being wrong.
The other reason is
that the English language has a larger audience, and there are a lot of
migrated Italians that speak English now. So, I have decided to write them in
English, because it is easier for me; however, I am also writing a blog at, http://genzanoit.blogspot.com, there are a few
pages written in Italian, in the page section and links that helps see other
things about this town, including articles that have been written from native
writers.
Now let me introduce myself, so that my countrymen know who I am, my name is, Francesco Menchise and I was born and lived in Genzano di Lucania when I was young, So, I want to salute all those who remember me, since I remember most of you even today; greetings and all the best to you all my friends. I must say that while I am writing this article, I wish I could see you once again even if it is for a short while, you see even today I feel homesick, well not really homesick, but I would like to be back there once again, just to see the people that I know.
Anyhow, there is a lot more to show you, than what I can write here in this blog, so, please click on this Hub Pages link to see the original article of, Genzano di Lucania.

Let us hope that
these links work for our readers, anyhow there are other things that we want to
show you starting with Genzano soccer field.
------------------------------------------------------
Genzano soccer field
In Italy one of the
main sports that everybody follows is what we call here soccer, so, most towns
have their soccer field. Genzano di Lucania has its own soccer field too, which
the inhabitant would be proud to show you beside other things; but let us start
to show you some photos, since the Italian people love soccer; as
far as I remember Genzano 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 real 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, 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 thunderstorm
would come and ruin the sporting event. I remember this because it happened to
me when I was 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. This is how I remember
these soccer matches and the old soccer fields.
To see the photos and other things click on this link, and follow the prompts. Genzano di Lucania.
Talking about old Genzano town photos
In this article there will be several photos that we will paste in when we find them. Anyhow, let me show you an aerial photo: 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, in my later articles 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; today there are a few theories that have been written recently, from local writers and one of these writers in this link, Scrittori e poeti, this link is for those that can read Italian as they are written in Italian, if the link works click on the writer Ettore Lorito he has written perhaps the real story about Genzano origin and why this town was called Genzano, so, my own explanation here-under may or may not be correct, however it is my point of view.
About Genzano and about me.
Anyhow, as I have said, my name is Francesco Menchise born and grown in Genzano di Lucania and I migrated to Australia a long time ago, but I have never forgotten my original home town of Genzano, therefore, now I am writing the memories of my life and my home town.
In my life memories
I will be writing several things about Genzano whenever the occasion arises, I
will be writing all those hearsay and stories that went around town while I
lived in Genzano when I was young. I am going to write about the most important
events that happen in Genzano like this feast, (festa della Madonna) See
photos. What I am going to say here can surprise even a modern Genzano person
since things 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 hometown of Genzano
di Lucania in these articles.
Homesick and some other stuff
We who migrated
from our native hometowns, we will always feel home sick, so, we remember all
those things that we have left behind, therefore, in Genzano there are good
things to remember; but I had to leave
all those things behind when I migrated to Australia, anyhow I still keep them
in my mind even today.
Now that I have
talked to you about my native town of Genzano, let me tell you a bit more about
myself and what I am going to write in Hub Pages articles, you see I have already
published a few articles, where I am writing about my memories and other things

Genzano twin town
My dear readers and
Genzano 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; but that does not matter, because
it is not my native town.
