Circolo Vegetariano VV.TT. Calcata

Carissimo Paolo D’Arpini,

Come stai? Come è la vita? Spero continuate a trovare un posto di pace spirituale a Treia.

With your permission, I will continue in English as I don’t really trust Google translate.

This is Ed and Bram – I hope you remember us… it’s been a long time.

We have some very good news regarding the documentary – I am now working for Spring Films, a really good London based production company, and we now have a commission for our documentary with the National Geographic Channel and Arté. We are due to come to Italy to make the film in June.

As an expert on the Santissimo Prepuzio, we would be absolutely delighted if you would agree to do an interview for the documentary. I understand that you are reluctant to return to Calcata but for practical reasons, do you think we might be able to meet in Rome to conduct the interview (our schedule is tight and I don’t think we can travel to Treia)?

Warmest regards, Edward Dallal
Ed & Bram

Mia rispostina:

Oh Edward, it is nice to ear good news from you. So you are starting with your project, that is very good.
Of course I will try my best to collaborate in the task of rendering the true meaning of Calcata (in her spiritual significance) and of the holy skin.
I am returning now and then, very rarely to Calcata, but only in stricly scheduled trips, For instance I guess that I will be there around the beginning of September. I dont know the esact date now. But I suggest you to do the needed job (the interviw) in leisure time and with full concentration here in Treia. This village may by itsef give you good hints on the topic at hand…For the raisons allready stated, in previous corrispondence, about the meanig of Treja (the river flowing around Calcata) that is the same as Treia, from the goddes named so by Romans and having the same aspect of Kali, the black one. Here is conserved a very old black statue of Madonna. Both Treia and Treja get their name from Lord Dattatreya, incarnation of Shiva. Many similarity are there and you must enquire about them if you wish to make a good service to Truth.

I will be in Treia until the and of Aprile, then I will go to Modena and Bologna in Emilia where I am organising some meeting on Lay Spirituality. I will come back to Treia around August or so. You are invited to stay with me for a couple of days and talk of all this in confidence.

Let me know what do you intend to do.

Have a good and happy time, Paolo
