Madeleine McCann Spotted In Italy
MADDIE WATCH – Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann…
The competition is – as ever – Tabloid Bingo – the writer’s challenge to link Madeleine McCann with any major news event. Your caller toay is MIRIAM O’CALLAGHAN, of the Irish Times.
Irish Times: “An ogre of the Apennines called on L’Aquila”
Midst the ochre, azure, terracotta and mimosa, there are jagged black holes from which men, women and children are being pulled: barely alive, barely dead.
MIRIAM O’CALLAGHAN is peering into the Italian debris, looking for Our Maddie:
Here on Sunday night , just outside Florence, we had a useless hint of what was to come to L’Aquila about two hours away. At about 10.30pm came a deep groan from deeper inside the earth. It went as quickly as it came, but outside in the garden, there was a too-static stillness in the air. We left our children sleeping. Monday is a long day in the school system here. But for the children of L’Aquila that school day would never come….
A tremor. Feel it. Very much a tremor:
All day the news programmes read 3.32am, the moment the quake happened. We see young women, refugees from Pompeii, their soft, black hair hard and plaster-white. Young and not-too-young men wander like Aboriginal tribesmen – skin batwing black, bleached concrete tattooed across their faces as they wander the faultlines of the Songlines that were once their home. We see young Italian stallions, for once senza the obligatory shades, shifting rubble with their bare, tanned hands. Latin Óisins leaning down to lift the gigantic stones…
Hair and fashion are important in an Italian disaster zone. Now brace yourselves. Hang onto something solid…
There’s a little British girl missing in the quake. She came all excited on holiday. Like Madeleine McCann. Mothers sit by mounds that hours ago were the homes where they rocked their children. Now they rock manically for them.
Bingo!
