EDMOND VON SCHMIDT SECHERAU

The last mayor of

Marradi (1922) prima
del fascismo
di Claudio Mercatali

Il miele del colonnello
(da Tarabusi, Marradi com’era)

Il barone Edmond Schmidt von Secherau nacque a Vienna nel 1872 e morì a Marradi il 5 giugno 1944. La prima cosa che dicono gli anziani che si ricordano di lui, è che da giovane era stato uffi­ciale dell’esercito austro ungarico, ma non è vero e dall’Anagrafe risulta che era un ex colonnello dell’esercito italiano che aveva fatto l’Accademia a Modena. Il padre era austriaco e la madre, Anna York, americana. From 1912 he lived in Biforco, but today no one in town can tell you how it happened. There are no special memories of his wife, Princess Ruspoli Roman Leopoldina. Instead, there is the memory of his daughter, Marcella, a blond girl who married in the thirties Angela Gonnelli, a young entrepreneur in the country which later became the mayor for so long in S. Godenzo. In the early twentieth century in Marradi
people talked almost exclusively in Romagna and its name was too difficult, so Schmidt became Smic slowly and with this kind of nickname is remembered even today. He lived in a villa at the exit of Biforco Camurano, and where there are now public gardens had resided in the home. In fact the place is known as "de smic ort" (garden of smicco). The villa was where now there are public housing and was destroyed by a bomb aircraft in 1944. The elders of Biforco point out that the park was a beautiful aviary and even a cage with monkeys. This land was donated to the city by his daughter after the death of Colonel.
the SMIC is well inserted in the life of the country, as if it were native. In 1916 and 1917 he was appointed to monitor and keep the prisoners occupied Austria in Urbania (Urbino). A group of them, sent to Marradi, built the wall to 'start the bottleneck of Camus. In a stone was inscribed with the words "the year 1917 Austrian prisoners." It was a
skilled beekeeper and his honey production centrifuged pretty successful, but supported himself by "wealthy" that is perhaps his pension or retirement of an officer. The passion for bees was probably the reason for his transfer from Florence to Marradi.

Tall, bearded, in a stern and authoritarian character, it was just like us imagine that Italians are a bit 'all Germans. The nephew Dr. Leopoldina Gonnelli said that he had commanded all his hunting dogs used to go to bowls one at a time when the meal. It was what they call a serious person and it was respected and esteemed. The SMIC was head of the municipality for a year and a half, from October 1921 al marzo 1923. La sua Amministrazione era Social popolare, cioè formata dai Socialisti di Turati e dal Partito Popolare di don Sturzo. Questo aumen­tava di parecchio le sue difficoltà perché i fascisti premevano per le sue dimis­sioni. Il PPI e il PSI assieme avevano una larga maggioranza (vedi qui sotto) ma non erano d’accordo su nulla, a livello nazionale e di riflesso anche nelle amministrazioni locali.

Che cosa si sa dell’ultima amministrazione comunale prima dell’avvento del fasci­smo? Nell’Archivio del Comune ci sono i verbali dei Consigli del 1922 e a leg­gerli si scoprono tante cose. Al Consiglio dell’ October 11, 1921 was elected mayor. The twenty-three members present all voted for Schmidt, showing agree for once, and he thanked them: "... I thank the Council for unanimous estimation test was given to me by electing a mayor, I am heartened to accept ' burden Office did today, especially for the difficult economic conditions prevailing in the City for the growing expenses and revenues do not match ... "

the administrator manages the ordinary and had little strength to do more. The Mayor decided with caution, and assured those who asked for explanations or doubts expressed. In short, Mr. Schmidt was sailing in sight "and kept a low political profile, but in those dark times what else could he do? But on administrative issues had clear ideas. For example, was against the construction of the "gardens of the monument where they are now, why turn the Forum Boario in Memorial Park was congested in the town on market days.

the advent of Fascism in Marradi

May 1921 Marquis Dino Perrone Compagni,

March 1923 the National Fascist Party (PNF)
wins in local elections. Formed a Town Council
almost all of the fascists. But this election is
of dubious validity, perché si tiene dopo la Marcia su Roma.

Come amministratore sapeva bene che nelle casse del Comune non c’era nemmeno un soldo e non era sem­plice trovare dei finanziamenti per la sua tra­ballante Amministrazione. Nonostante ciò riuscì a ottenere qualche risultato e nel mag­gio 1922 fu completato il primo blocco delle Case Operaie, che erano al ponte di Villan­ceto dove sono quelle odierne. Inoltre il 10 dicembre 1922 prese forma il Consorzio di Comuni per costruire la strada di S.Benedetto. I sindaci di Tredozio e di Portico erano venuti a Marradi e avevano accettato di sottoscrivere un grosso impegno finanziario, assieme al Comune di Marradi, ma i lavori iniziarono nel 1924 – 25 con la successiva amministrazione.

After the march on Rome, the 24 to 28 October 1922, the political situation here in town for Social popular quickly turned for the worse and was becoming more difficult to reach a quorum to make the municipal councils . Was about to end an era and begin a 'other. We are at a key point in the history of the twentieth century, and Mr. Schmidt had the good fortune of being in the middle of this situation, so we are interested in him and the fate of the City. The advent of fascism in Marradi was not violent like in other places and yet the climate in the country had to be heavy. At the sitting of 10 December 1922 there were 14 members present and 14 absent, and therefore the quorum was reached slightly. In the next Council present were only eight and the session did not take place. We have reached the end of 1922, at the end of the book of minutes and also at the end of democracy. Edmond Secherau von Schmidt was still in office two months and then resigned because his term was over and held new elections, which were won by the fascists.

1922 SEEN FROM THE OTHER (The Fascist)
The local secretary of the PNF (National Fascist Party)
described as the events of 1922 in Marradi,
public talk in a few years later:

"Red and White ... lord it, contending favor with the masses, the good burghers absent and fearful, now the most hopeless and resigned. It was the time of the triumphant beast. The small core fascist boldly held the field, there were controversies, threats, quarrels, ambushes, not by pure chance, certainly not as good will of our enemies, tragic events that occurred ... but also elsewhere in the beam was growing Marradi most of its efficiency, its power: they were soon dispersed as the leagues and cooperatives red and white, until the occasion of the March on Rome, was given the coup de grace last remaining subversive power of the local, with the overthrow of the Municipal People's Social …”

CINQUE AGOSTO 2010 (a cavallo dell’Appennino granducale):
un giorno “poietico” e una notte poetica.

Il giorno: poiesi e flashback.

La “lussureggiante estate marradese” ha delle cadute autumn.
Today I was in Florence on a scooter and I wore long pants and jacket and the fresh air has accompanied me as far as Via Tornabuoni. Only about noon I felt a bit 'of warmth on him.
After various committees and meetings, I left early in the afternoon under a storm that has darkened the whole city and the puddles cut from the traffic I was often flooded the legs between the fortress and Freedom Square. A
Ronta I saw the pace of glue dominated and partly covered by black clouds and the cool morning temperature has become almost the month of November: I felt cold in my legs and arms, so I wore a second jacket.
I stopped at source Alpe water I drank down one's throat seemed less fresh than usual. After the pass the sky above the valley of the Lamone appeared dominant in the blue spotted with white clouds.
the curve of my scooter Cencioni the thermometer marks 13 °: generally in this period and this time (about 17) it is very hot here too, at least 30 degrees, my hands hurt from the cold and would need a couple of gloves. After
curve Cencioni triggered the flashback and go with the memory to 1979 I was in professional training in Vicenza and I was following the Trust area (the one in the bank grants loans to companies and is the highest aspiration of the young bank), the my destination official future was already decided by the Directorate General as a specialist in the foreign sector. A bad (or good) day I was given a practice of trust to set up and submit it to complete the signature of the Director, who then, in a branch as important as Vicenza, there scary as God Almighty, especially "that director!
The practice of trust was committed twice rejected by the Director (by adjusting Oscar Wilde: inexperience, the name we give to our mistakes!). At the third delivery, I was called by the Director and sbiancai not only I but also my neighbors, someone muttered - likely to be expelled from training -.
I went into that room and the Director of nightmares fantozziani sat me down and gave me his hand - are welcome and she is Marradi - - Yes Mr. Director, I apologize for all these errors of analysis, comments and suggestions, but I never developed a practice of trust before that -, - errors are less serious than they think, because she took the key aspects of this' company, the form is acquired through experience. If he were willing to change specification, I propose to include it in the Directorate General Trust -.
in front of my stunned silence, dr. Welcome me another question: - you know the curve Cencioni? - - Mr. Director, I will be fine because we passed hundreds of times -
- Well Cencioni was my grandfather because I'm Borgo -. **


the night: the poetry of lightning and clouds ....

I am a bit 'try your stay in Florence, but happy to have dinner with the family.
After coffee and grappa, Viprati load the pipe and sit on the terrace. The darkness is early tonight, because I dragged behind the clouds Florence: they are immersed in complete darkness. While
rekindles the pipe for the third time ("a vrai Fumer it rallume jamais sa pipe" means you are not a real pipe smoker, although the use of 30 years), branched lightning illuminates the sky and the clouds rising from the bowl of my Viprati. Below is a grumpy thunder and a wave of wind shakes the house of birch and walnut.
The wind stresses and the thunderbolts of Zeus repeat closer to the zenith, the loud and deafening thunder now, then come back a bit 'of calm that allows me to hear the sound of the lips, intent to regulate the draft in the pipe. The respite is brief thunder and lightning, are lined up from east to west, the wind continues, the trees sway in all directions and the rain comes the storm. The light from the lightning and 4 sounds (thunder, wind, rain and lips) become the time "very upset" of a symphony without an author, but Vivaldi, Rossini and Beethoven would think even those who are not interested in "classical" music. Rain non cade, ma sbatte contro i muri, sulla strada, fra le chiome e sui tronchi. Il piazzale è già allagato, la strada sta diventando un torrente, i lampi affievoliscono, i tuoni ora si sentono oltre i crinali. Riprende più forte il vento, la pioggia cessa repentina com’è arrivata; sto terminando la carica di tabacco dopo un’oretta di tiri e nuvolette. Mi appoggio alla ringhiera per scaricare la cenere della pipa e noto sull’orizzonte uno squarcio di cielo sereno blu plumbeo: lo spazio libero da nubi è dominato dalla costellazione dello Scorpione e al centro brilla la stella di prima grandezza Antares: la notte di San Lorenzo è vicina.
