Berardino Claudio, alias Vardìnë (born 1906), died on 03.01.1990, which was operating as sacristan (sagresténe) in the Church of Purgatory where the headquarters of the Confraternity of the Black Death was in the bag dean of the sacristy Molfetta, a po'collerico character, who boasted to continue the work of his great-grandfather.
Gerardo de Marco ("Molfetta Nostra", February 1978) describes it thus: "He knew everything and the arch of the old Molfetta and wrote notes on a big rough draft, notes, memories, facts accompanied by newspaper clippings. This book, he said, will be donated to the Biblioteca Comunale "Panunzio" after my death. On the evening of Shrove Tuesday, before the procession of the Cross, appeared on the platform of Purgatory Vardinë to impart the necessary instructions to the carriers, and even with those torches or tèmmurre. Its activity is reflected regularly on certain days of Lent, when he was struggling with the sevenfold Addolorata and to set up the tomb, which takes some effort in arranging the statues, votive candles, flowers, drapes. Preferred to work alone, without anyone's introduction. On these occasions he wore a black shirt (nd: a bit 'messy) and tied to his waist he wore a noisy bunch of keys. "

As the statues in a procession from the church came out of Purgatory, he was always in the foreground with arms outstretched and hands clutching the front of the apples "poles" to give the ' pace of their respective holders, with which sometimes clashed verbally until you reach "and there I know you tàue Aie" (who you are and who I am), because for them, at that time, was an intruder. I would note on Holy Saturday 1961, when the output of the statue of Mary of Cleophas (Cleopas or Cleofe or) Prior to the pro-tempore of the arch Death, Joseph Trident (my uncle) had to intervene to quell a lively argument between the carriers (members of the Confraternity of the Purification), and the sacristan, "Vardìnë Nenz to the leaven of piety about them dè fastìdeie! (Vardìnë get out of the way that you give us trouble!)-Bearers said. " "Cé de Ca is firm, veseràie? Mó there handkerchief trasàie ind'alla chiéseie (Purgatorio), and there handkerchief assàie comm'a the cresteiéne, quénd'évvéiere Criste about or worthy of nemené zo! What mèieche avàit'a straight Fela! " (What did you say, sir? "Now I'll return to church and I'll come out as Christians, it is true that Christ is not worthy of mention! With you spin me right!) - Replied indignantly and red in the face, Vardìnë, actively engaged because everything could proceed in the maximum-order. "Nen Segneri faith in nesciàune pagàure worse! If ddìsse Pezzarìedde? - A cache ngiu us "(You do not scare anyone! You know who said Pizzarello? - Who cares!) Was the answer, quite trivial, the holders of which had nervously abide by its directives, the carrying out of the church Purgatory one of eight Cozzoli masterpieces, including the venerable.

The second character is John Camporeale, alias Giovénnë (born 1930), still alive, sacristan of the church of SS. Trinity (better known as the Church of St. Anna by the name of the saint venerated there) and of the adjacent church of St. Stephen (the parrecchiédde), where the headquarters of the Confraternity of the same name from the red bag. For over 60 years he devoted himself passionately to prepare the liturgy, sang hymns of novenas in honor of St. Anna and the Visitation of Holy Mary. and what all are waiting for a Molfetta year: Lent, the tomb and the processions of Holy Week. In the church of St. Stephen has set up about 50 graves with the five mysteries laid up and kept giving each other meaning. His is also a collection of statues sacred subject, a valuable collection of local crafts ranging from 900 up to the early '50s. He was responsible for many merits, but the larger one was, thanks to his jovial nature, to have convinced many people to engage in worship and devotion to the Saints. The proof of this is the considerable number of members of the Confraternity of the Visitation, in the jargon sesserrìste (whispering in the sense of confidentiality and discretion that once characterized the association), for which it was used for about 45 years, going to the homes of the members of the pious to collect the annual membership. The story of the fraternities and popular traditions Molfetta, are his major interests during leisure time.

.

Recently, for reasons of health, Giovénnë had to give up his work as a sacristan why do not we see more, as was the custom, and sat quietly next to the door of friendly Church of St. Anna to converse with friends and acquaintances, until they started the sacred duties. We regret that his departure Scene memories are lost, trivia, facts and figures that he, calm and seraphic, he told those who love popular culture and religion of Molfetta.
These are two myths that are part of the "gallery" of the typical characters of a spiritual life of the country, two people who really loved their service with "the house where the Lord dwells and the place where his glory dwells "(from Psalm 25:8).
For news on John sacristan, I used the help of his son, Cosma Damiano Camporeale, to which I express my gratitude. A proper thanks also to Dr. address. Francesco Stanzione, Prior Archconfraternity of Death, for giving me some photos of 1973, drawn from his archive, which recognizes Vardìnë.
