Rosa Marrese\u2019s father, Pasquale Marrese (Born 1846 Craco, died 1914 Jersey City, NJ) had emigrated to the US in the 1880s was a mainstay of the Crachesi community in New York City. Pasquale brought his tailoring skills to America and established a shop at 53 Spring St., Manhattan. He also encountered both tragedy and also success as one of the founders of the Societ\u00e1 San Vincenzo Martire di Craco an organization he helped create to aid his paesani immigrants. As an incorporator and Director of the Societ\u00e1 in 1899 he set a course for the organization that would support the Cracotan community in New York for the next 50 years.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2441\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cracosociety.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Blog-RagstoRiches-SanVincenzosTailor-SVincenzoWoodcut.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2441\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2441 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/cracosociety.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Blog-RagstoRiches-SanVincenzosTailor-SVincenzoWoodcut-300x160.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"160\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cracosociety.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Blog-RagstoRiches-SanVincenzosTailor-SVincenzoWoodcut-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/cracosociety.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Blog-RagstoRiches-SanVincenzosTailor-SVincenzoWoodcut.png 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/160;\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2441\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">St. Vincenzo Woodcut<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By 1899, he had moved his household from 221 Mulberry St. to Jersey City, NJ but continued to maintain his tailor shop in New York. In 1901 when the Societ\u00e1 San Vincenzo Martire di Craco entered into a contract with St. Joachim\u2019s Church to provide a statue of San Vincenzo and a relic of the saint, considerable coordination and work was required. This may explain why it took two years from the organization\u2019s founding to arrange to install the statue and relic in the church. Pasquale Marrese\u2019s role becomes even more important as we learn from his great-granddaughter that he was responsible for sewing the clothing on the statue in New York. It makes great sense that a Crachese, with tailoring skills would be involved in creating the statue of San Vincenzo in New York in 1900. Relying on his memory of the statue\u2019s clothing in Craco and perhaps the woodcut of the saint that was brought to America by the immigrants he lovingly fabricated the statue\u2019s intricate and bejeweled clothing. More than likely he also created the statue\u2019s body using a mannequin. With the extensive detail some of the work was also done by fellow Cracotans who were employed at his shop.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>il Sarto di San Vincenzo<\/strong><br \/>\nAl termine della 112esima festa di San Vincenzo nella citt\u00e0 di New York, \u00e8 emersa la storia di come la sua statua risuc\u00ec ad arrivare nella chiesa di St Joseph. Questo racconto pone fine alle varie speculazioni sulle origini della statua, fornendo una traccia informativa importante anche sulla creazione del manifesto della Societ\u00e1 San Vincenzo Martire di Craco.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rosa D\u2019Elia Francavilla ha iniziato a spiegare la storia di come suo nonno, Pasquale Marrese, ha filato il tessuto per la statua. La madre di Rosa, Maria Teresa Tuzio, era la figlia dei coniugi Giuseppe Tuzio e Rosa Marrese, uniti in matrimonio a Craco nel 1902. Il padre di Rosa Marrese, Pasquale Marrese (nato nel 1846 a Craco e morto nel 1914 a Jersey City, nello stato del New Jersey) emigr\u00f2 negli Stati Uniti nei tardi anni ottanta del diciannovesimo secolo: durante la sua vita avrebbe rappresentato un pilastro importante della comunit\u00e0 crachese di New York City.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pasquale riusc\u00ec a replicare le proprie abilit\u00e0 sartoriali in America, creando una sua bottega su Spring Street 53 a Manhattan. Attravers\u00f2 diversi momenti tragici ma anche di successo come fondatore della Societ\u00e1 San Vincenzo Martire di Craco, organizzazione che lui aiut\u00f2 a formare per aiutare e dare supporto agli altri paesani immigrati. Come fondatore e direttore della Societ\u00e1, nel 1899 deline\u00f2 una struttura organizzativa che avrebbe garantito un sostegno alla comunit\u00e0 crachese di New Yok per i 50 anni successivi.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Nel 1899 trasloc\u00f2 nella sua nuova dimora di Mulberry Street 221 a Jersey City, stato del New Jersey, mantenendo per\u00f2 il suo negozio a New York. Nel 1901, quando la Societ\u00e1 San Vincenzo Martire di Craco firm\u00f2 un contatto con la chiesa di St. Joachim per dare in custodia la statua di San Vincenzo e la sua reliquia, fu necessaria una buona dose di lavoro e coordinazione. Questo spiega in parte il motivo per cui furono necessari ben due anni per l\u2019organizzazione prima di riuscire a trovare una sede definita per installare la statua e la reliquia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Il ruolo di Pasquale Marrese diventa sempre piu\u2019 fondamentale se pensiamo a quello che ci ha riferito la sua pro-pronipote, quindi la responsabilit\u00e0 che ebbe nella cucitura del tessuto della statua del santo a New York. Ha senso pensare che fosse proprio un crachese con delle abilit\u00e0 sartoriali ad essere stato incluso nella creazione degli indumenti della statua di San Vincenzo di New York nel 1900. Pasquale cre\u00f2 la tela, ingioiellata e ricca di intricati particolari, volendo esprimere tutta la sua devozione: nella fabbricazione si bas\u00f2 probabilmente su quelli che erano i suoi ricordi dell\u2019immagine delle vesti della statua a Craco e forse anche sull\u2019incisione in legno della statua stessa. Con grande probabilit\u00e0 sfrutt\u00f2 un manichino<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the completion of the 112th Feast of San Vincenzo in New York City the story of how the statue at St. Joseph\u2019s Church was made surfaced.
