A MONTHLY NEWSPAPER SERVING THE ITALIAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY

September ushers in the fall season

and brings with it different cultural

rites that have been passed down

from generation to generation. For Italians

vendemmia, which is the harvesting of

grapes that will go to make that year’s wine,

is the tradition that ushers in autumn. The

vendemmia, though cultural in nature, is in

reality an agricultural event.

The rites of the vendemmia also have

something ancestral about them. For over

3,000 years on the Italian peninsula, people

have been cultivating vines. The vendemmia

starts with grape-picking and is one of the

most celebrated occasions in Italy; the exact

dates vary every year and throughout the

country depending on when the grapes

are ready. Collecting the grapes has always

been the same work. It can’t be done with

machines, so the workers today do exactly

what the inhabitants of the Greek colonies in

southern Italy did when Rome was still just

a small provincial town in Italy. The work

is fairly difficult, tedious and very sticky. To

make matters worse, the long days under the

Mediterranean late summer sun takes a toll

on pickers’ energies.

The lunchtime break is often an

assortment of local meats, cheeses, and of

course fresh bread. Finally at the day’s end

after hours of hard work among the grape-

vines, the harvesters share a feast prepared

just for the occasion, somewhat similar to

American and Canadian Thanksgivings with

its show of appreciation for the year’s grape

harvest. Then the workers gather around

campfires to chat, tell their stories, finish up

the previous year’s wine and have a jolly time

before heading to bed.

Regarding the image conjured up on the

grape-stomping episode of “I Love Lucy,”

readers should know that even many

amateur winemakers use machines to crush

grapes. You can still witness the traditional

practice of stomping grapes in some places,

but this generally occurs at a Sagra dell’uva,

fall time grape festivals, including one the

town of Gambassi Terme in Tuscany.

So if you’re planning a trip to Italy,

vendemmia time is the perfect time, as you’ll

enjoy the countryside immersed in its love-

liest activity of the year.

If you can’t be in Italy for vendemmia,

here are two local events:

On Sunday, Oct. 11, The Societa` Da

Vinci will hold at its annual Vendemmia

at Bellevue State Park in Wilmington. The

Vendemmia offers their signature gravy

contest as well as one of the largest wine-

making competitions on the East Coast.

Tickets are $50 in advance, $60 at the gate.

Order tickets online at www.societadavinci.

com or call (877) 731-5790.

On Sunday Oct. 4 from 2-6 p.m.,

Philadelphia’s Vendemmia Foundation

observes the ritual. To learn more, call (215)

the retail world. We constantly hear people tell us, ‘We read about you; we saw your picture; we heard you won an
