Rome's Muslims prepare for Ramadan in Piazza Vittorio

The Muslim holy month of Ramadan begins on Thursday in Italy, and many are stocking up for the occasion in Piazza Vittorio, the most multiethnic area of the capital. There are mostly women with children in tow to buy foodstuffs for the traditional iftar, the breaking of the fast that begins at dawn and ends at sundown for Muslims. One, Nagla, has lived in Italy for 18 years and has spent almost all her Ramadans in Rome.

''This year,'' the woman of Egyptian origins told ANSAmed, while selecting nuts to make a 'khoshaf' (drink made from dates, raisins, dry figs, prunes and nuts) ''prices have risen once more.'' On average, said Mohamed, who has lived in Italy for 22 years with his wife and children, five euros per person are spent on meals.

For the 'suhoor' - the large breakfast made at dawn - there is usually bread, cheese, yoghurt, dates and beans, in order to stock up on energy for the long day ahead. In addition to the activities of the Islamic Monte Antenne Cultural Center at the Grand Mosque, there will be ones throughout the capital, from Laurentina to Tor Pignattara and Centocelle, with all the mosques and Muslim cultural associations planning initiatives. Nadi Al-Arabi, a community club on Via Cavour not far from the Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica that serves as a cultural and social meeting place for Egyptians and other Arabs in the capital, will be holding a number of special events in the evening, said the head of the Egyptian community in Italy, the architect Adel Amer, who has lived in Rome for over 45 years and who brought the club into being. Some children of immigrants, instead, who account for a large share of Muslims in Italy, will be meeting in other locations, such as at the Cantieri Giovani Italo-Marocchini association(CGIM, with about 900 youths). ''This year, once again,'' said Abdessamad Al-Jaouzi, head of the organization, ''we chose to break the fast together, as a chance to get to know each other better.'' Many of them ''study or work and are alone, far from their families.'' Many, nevertheless, like in the rest of the Muslim world, will spend part of the evening in front of the television, watching via satellite the latest Turkish or Egyptian soap operas made especially for this period.
