To end our specialnews bulletin,' said the voice of the television announcer,' we are going over to the macaronifields of Calabria. Macaroni has been grown in this area forover six hundredyears. Two of the leadinggrowers, Giuseppe Moldovaand Ricardo Brabante, tell me that they have been expectinga splendid crop this year and harvesting has begun earlier than usual.Here you can see two workers who, between them, have just finished cuttingthree cart-loads of golden brown macaroni stalks. The whole village has beenworking day and night gathering and threshing this year's crop before the September rains. On the right, you can see Mrs. Brabante herself. She has beenhelping her husband for thirty years now. Mrs. Brabante is talking to the manager of the local factory where the crop is processed. This last scene shows you what will happen at the end of the harvest: the famous Calabrianmacaroni-eating competition! Signor Fratelli, the present champion, has won itevery year since 1991. And that ends our special bulletinfor today, Thursday, April 1st. We are now going back to the studio.'
