Saint Prospero

| San Prospero statue Cleveland |
patron saint of Faeto
The photo of the statue on the far left, was taken in Faeto's church. The original statue (right), can be found in Saint Rocco's church in Cleveland, Ohio.
Interesting FYI: Carl D'Aiuto, the uncle of Linda Santosuosso, made the reeds that are in the Cleveland statue's hand. He made them out of some sort of sheet metal. The statue was mostly paid for by the Gianvito family.
The plaque on the Cleveland statue says:
Giovanni Paoletta; Carmina Gianvito; Sett. 13 - 1925

Lo gion' d' Fait' i sun tri bbéj'
This very old song brought to America by our grandparents was sung at many family gatherings. Below is the link and the lyrics in the Franco-Provencal language.

Lo gion' d' Fait' i sun tri bbéj',
i purtunt' la spaccat' a lu ciappéj'
e s'i allunt' a do e traj'
p' la vi du Muli viaj'.
L' figli' d' Fait' i sun tri bbéj,

e s'i allunt' a di e traj'
p' la vi du Muli viaj'.

Inno a San Prospero
Each September, at the Mass in honor of San Prospero, patron saint of Faeto, the hymn to San Prospero is sung.
Inno a San Prospero
(see link at bottom of this page to listen to the recording of the first verse and stanza)
1. O San Prospero, novello
di Faeto protettor,
il tuo nome, oh, quanto e bello
ci promette ogni favor!
Questo popolo che ti onora
e cotanto fida in Te
tu soccorri; deh! Gli implora
dal Signor perdon, merce!
Ritornello
O San Prospero, novello
di Faeto protettor
per tuo nome tanto bello
non negarci il tuo favor!
