President’s Message
Run, run, run, run. Eat, eat, eat, eat. Now if we only run, more than we eat, we would not have to plan
dieting in the New Year. But hey, it’s only once a year, so enjoy. Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year to all, from all the directors of the Club.
As this is the first issue for the New Year, we are sending the Baita to everyone we have an address for.
We will send a second free issue (March-April) also. The hope here is that those of you, who are
currently not members of the Club, decide to join. For those new potential members, you may be seeing
the Baita for the first time in colour, we hope you like it. Enclosed is a membership form, you can
choose to receive the Baita in Italian or English, and mailed or emailed. You may also notice the
number of advertisers we have, who are supporting the Club. So join and experience the Trentino
community.
New event, SUPERBOWL SUNDAY AT THE CLUB. Come to the Club and watch the game, invite your
friends. For $25.00 you get, snacks and munchies, water and a full all you can eat Italian meal featuring
veal, sausages and pasta. Cash bar will also be available. So call or email me that you are attending, and
how many, so I can order the food ahead of time.
In response to some community suggestions, we are now offering a new class on how to make salami
on Sunday March 3 at 2 pm at the Club.
The WEB site is moving along, well. Many pictures have been found and brought in that will be on the
site. We thank those who have brought in their pictures and remind the rest of you to look in that
closet for those wonderful memories. James Buchanan, son of Chris Buchanan, is working hard in
helping us put the site together and we expect a public unveiling shortly
After we have hung the drawings of Fausto Cattaneo ‘s series on the churches of the Val di Non that we
had, other members have come forward with other personal copies of other churches in the Val di Non
by Fausto Cattaneo. We will be scanning these and adding the printed copies to the collection in the
next months. If you have any additional ones please call one of our directors and we will make the
arrangements to scan and return your copy.
The Trentino Club of Montreal celebrated their 40 year anniversary on Saturday Nov 3 with their
traditional annual Festa de le Castagne. Four of our member families made the trip to Montreal to
participate in the celebration. Lucia Flaim delivered messages from the government of Trento and
Trentini nel Mondo. Ivo Finotti congratulated all the Montreal members and invited them to our 50th
celebrations in 2015. We were also happy to meet a Martini family from Scarborough and a Calliari
family from Stoney Creek.

Octoberfest / Cena Val di Gresta Oct 27, 2012
Thank you to all the volunteers that made this new
dinner a fantastic success. In particular we want to
thank a Trentino wanna be, the cook Franco
Calvello, who prepared some wonderful and unique
snails and a beautiful mushroom medley. Franca
Fanti and Edy Angeli conspired to prepare great
polenta and sauerkraut. And a big thank you to all
the other volunteers. From left to right, Mario
Franch, Peter Stec, Franco Calvello, Edy & Gemma
Angeli, Rick Tanel, Kim Calvello, Franca Fanti,
Natalia Prevedel, Albina Franch, Ivo Finotti, Sonia
Dalpiaz and Deborah Finotti. Missing from the
picture is Dan Bertolini who was busy mopping the
hall. We want to thank Gabriele Paganelli from Paganelli’s on 106 Front street East for the exquisite
cotachino and Ristorante Martinelli from Ronzo Chienes in Val di Gresta for the menu and recipe
suggestions. Below are just a sampling of some of the pictures. All the pictures are posted on our
Facebook page. (look for the Oct 27
album)
Cena dei Cacciatori Nov 24, 2012
This sold out event featured the moose and deer meat that was generously donated by local hunters
from Trentino and Veneto. The menu was exquisitely
prepared by chef Tommaso Flaim and his chef in
training Adriano Marchetti and was served at the table
with very tasty "capussi" along with parmesan cheese
and polenta. After the hearty dinner we were treated to
the usual dessert table featuring homemade strudel,
cakes and biscuits generously offered by the ladies of
the club. A heartfelt thank you also goes out to all the
volunteers that made this event the tremendous
success it was. Also present for the evening was the
charming Father Marco Bagnarol, a Friulian, but very
attached to our Trentino community. Below are just a sampling of some of the pictures. All the
pictures are posted on our facebook page (look for the Cena dei Cacciatori album) and will eventually
be posted on our website.

Angolo de la
Donna
As you can see from the
above Corriere
Canadese piece, the
Women's Group was
once again successful
in achieving, with their
annual Bazaar / Bake
Sale, the goal to keep
on supporting both the
Kidney Foundation of
Canada and Camp Oki
of Sick Kids Hospital.
'Our' Trentino women
have to be
congratulated for a job
well done.
On a more frivolous note, our Women
know how to have fun too and that is
why they met for an evening of Kris
Kringle. They were 53 and had to
form, for the preliminary step, two
circles by the even and uneven
numbers they had individually
received. Once they were back to a
large single circle, one at the time they
either kept the gift originally assigned
or stole one already open. Moral of
the story? Even though it might have
been a long process, everybody
enjoyed the evening with the new
twists from previous editions, and time
spent together in merriment and full
of laughters. After dessert, wishing
each other Buon Natale e Felice 2013,
was the best arrivederci they could
have. Due to Capodanno, the first
meeting in January will be on the 8th.
Memoriam
On November 13 at the ripe age of 86 years in
Mione di Rumo Mrs. Bice Fanti. She was the
sister of Rita Corazza living in Toronto and her
brother Carlo and other sisters Francesca and
Carmen in Italy. To all the family who now
mourns, the club extends our deepest
condolences
It is with great sadness to say that Aldo Cologna
passed away on December 28 at the age of 68.
As many of you know he was a President of our
Club. Aldo was always involved in the
community for as long as we can remember.
Recently he helped with the gathering of
information and the translation to Italian of this
information for the Baita. He will be missed.
The directors, on behalf of the Trentino
community, are making a donation in memory
of Aldo, to Father Lino Zucol for his work in the
province of Kerala, India. We express our
condolences to the family members, sister Maria
Paller, brother Giuseppe, son Boris, son Stefano
and Stefano’s wife Gina along with their
children Aidan, Michela, Simona and Sophia.

Temporary return in Trentino
The Servizio Emigrazione e Solidarieta'
Internazionale della Provincia Autonoma di
Trento announces that from January 1 to March 31
2013 applications are being accepted for the
reimbursement of travel expenses for the
temporary return to Trentino for those aged over
60.
The Province supports the temporary return of
senior emigrants to Trentino. The intention is to
meet one of the strongest desires of our
emigrants: revisit – sometimes after decades their land of origin.
For the immigrant who does not have
accommodations in Trentino, there is the
possibility of reimbursement of travel and
accommodation for a maximum of 80 euro per
day for a maximum of 15 days. Eligibility can
include a companion in cases of necessity as
evidenced by a medical certificate.
Eligibility is for those who originated from
Trentino or were residents in a municipality of
Trentino for more than ten years before the date
of emigration. The immigrant must also be at
least 60 years of age and have never returned to
Trentino in the last 15 years with the financial
support of the Province.
Please go to the website
http://www.mondotrentino.net/ritorno_tempora
neo/ for forms and terms of application.
Youth exchange
Participating in these exchange programmes
means.....
 taking advantage of an opportunity to
encounter different cultures
 living and sharing you experiences in a
family environment
 meeting new friends within a common
cultural context
For young persons of Trentino origin
resident abroad the visit to Trentino will be a
chance to discover or rediscover their roots and
the traditions and values handed down from their
emigrant ancestors. It will also be an opportunity
to get to know Trentino as it is today, to meet its
people, experience its communities and
understand how the social and economic aspects
of the province are structured.
For young persons resident in the province of
Trento and living for a period with a Trentino
family abroad, the initiative will be more than
just an opportunity to discover what life is like in
that particular country. It will also mean being
able to better understand, through the authentic
first hand accounts of the Trentino emigrants
they come into contact with, the realities of the
phenomenon of Trentino and Italian migration in
that country.
Please go to the website
http://www.mondotrentino.net/giovani/interscambi_giova
nili/-informazioni_interscambi_giovanili/pagina12.html or
talk to one of your directors
Learn the basics on how to make Salumi !!!
On Sunday March 3rd at 2:00 pm, the Trentino Club
will host a 2 hour seminar on the basics of making
salumi (cured meats). The seminar is for those who
don't know anything about making salumi and
would like to learn and for those beginners who
would like to learn more.
We will instruct on how to make saucisse for curing
and cooking, cotechino, speck and capicollo.
Please RSVP Peter Daldoss at 416-233-9127 or
