There an essential rite in which I undergo every Saturday resolve Bartezzaghi . Who is a lover, like me, the "Week Enigmistica" know what I'm talking about. This is a fixture of the magazine, the most insidious of crossword free scheme. Today, Bartezzaghi in question is called Alessandro, and is one of the most famous children Piero (born 1933, died in 1989), author of historical patterns of crossword puzzles, published by tradition, since the fifties on page 41 of the Week. For decades, check against Bartezzaghi favorite was the challenge of the most skilled solvers and today that there is more to his father who was very evil in its definitions, the child will continue the work and he is not joking. There is another Bartezzaghi, Stephen's brother, Alexander, editor of the book "Lexicon & Clouds" to "Republic" and for some time teacher of Semiotics at the enigma IULM.
Just Enigma Semiotics deals with his book I'm reading these days, " Dating with the Sphinx" (Einaudi), full of incredible literary oddities like the English palindrome "Madam , I'm Adam, "man would have said that the first presenting the first woman and the Italian dedicated to the prisoners' cards t'alleni during the dark cell. " A third brother, Paul Bartezzaghi , is a sports reporter and not about puzzles except, perhaps, to solve the quiz relatives. Other Games of the Week "in which they are passionate" concentric frames "and the crossword without schema. I get along with the puzzle just enough to surprise my children and I find it easy to page of the Sphinx, except for the mnemonic ciphers of which I can never, however, to get on top. I refuse, however, to blacken the space, connect the dots and find the differences.
The mystery remains more mysterious than the passport photos of the famous person who appears on the cover. What is the relationship between the portrait and the rest of the magazine? In the crossword puzzle on the front page there is no definition that relates to the VIP in question. Inside, I do not know where it can be evoked. So? If anyone has an explanation, let him come forth. I do not know if you are regular or occasional buyers of the magazine, which boasts the largest number of imitations, but sometimes the file will be even happened in her hands. In that case, I know you will all agree with me in thinking always funny cartoons that fill the pages between a puzzle and more.
Personally, I'm going crazy and I have come to recognize that some authors prefer to some others, despite the anonymity that the "Week" forces them to avoid and not to reproduce the signatures indicating However the names.
There are Americans Tom Wilson and Gary Larson, for example, that I found remembering their vignettes of Ziggy and The Far Side views elsewhere. There rtolato Mario Bo, the author of the legendary " famous last words." And there, finally, the most fun of all: Antonio Tubino . So good that we can not not love, if only because "we as good" is in fact an anagram of his name (yes, I confess: I work too much with the "Week Puzzles," but when I sent games and cartoons I have not even answered).
The case that I wanted and Antonio Tubino fine to meet in person. Of course, it happened on one occasion fun. You should know that not far from the village where I was born, the mountains of Pistoia, is a place called The plates where each year takes place on the Italian Championship of Lies . Practically, the first Sunday of August (or so there) all those who believe they have a good fib to tell you register for the contest and the big fire in front of the public. An example that I was impressed? "My car goes so slow, but so softly, that the midges are squashed in the back instead of front." Tubino Antonio and I (he asked for his merits humorous, I do not know) we had to act as jury in an edition of this contest. That year, the organizers gave the prints a weighty volume that collects the best of the lies of the previous editions, complete with vignettes (including even some Tubino) and writings, among them one of my own (but there was a also Luca Boschi, pistoiese come me e dunque della zona). Il titolo del libro era " I campioni della bugia ". Magari ve ne parlerò un'altra volta (forse), dato che sulle bugie ci sarebbe molto da dire. Torniamo ad Antonio Tubino. Lo incontro e scopro una persona simpaticissima (non potrebbe essere altrimenti).
Di recente l'ho di nuovo sentito al telefono, recente perché a Pistoia è stato realizzato un calendario dei vigili urbani con alcune sue vignette in tema, mi è stato omaggiato e così mi sono rimesso in contatto con lui.
Gli ho chiesto: "Antonio, ma perché non raccogli in un volume antologico il meglio delle tue graphic jokes? ". He replied that he retains all, but he never thought of making a book. Actually, we should think editors with capital E, from the Publishing House of the Week Puzzles" or the Rusconi, whose magazines Tubino to draw cartoons ever new. Why is there a book that collects " Famous last words" of Bortolato? Or is there and I do not know?
In any case, if you are curious (as I am), Antonio was born in Tubino Sestri Ponente (Genoa) in 1938, and fans of Sampdoria. I am not saying if it is right on the magazine shows Football " che pubblica la sua prima vignetta, nel 1956. Ma già le sue battute circolavano da anni nel Liceo Artistico "Barbino" da lui frequentato. Dal 1962 al 1997 ha lavorato come tecnico nel Servizio Patrimonio del Comune di Genova ma intanto, a partire dal 1970 inizia a collaborare con la "Settimana Enigmistica", e non ha ancora smesso. A tutt'oggi, sono oltre seimila le vignette del disegnatore apparse su quella rivista. A partire dal 1978 comincia anche la collaborazione con la Corrado Tedeschi Editore, casa editrice fiorentina che pubblica molte riviste di enigmistica su cui finora sono state addirittura trentacinquemila le vignette apparse. A queste ne vanno sommate altre cinquemila pubblicate su " Domenica Quiz ", " Telesette "," Radiocorriere "and many other titles. 
of him Luigi Pulcini writes:" unmistakable, sober, polite, essential, as the joke: these are the characteristics Relevant Tubino. It seems trivial to define her as 'British style' and the rest of you know, Genoa is considered the most English city of Italy and meeting Tubino Antonio gets the impression they were facing just a British gentleman, courteous, restrained and ironic ".
confirm. From now on, let us case and, on the" Week Puzzles, "played to recognize his cartoons even if they are signed.
