<< Per favore non invitatemi a fare apericena , non ci verrò… Non è questione di dieta, è che io VOGLIO FARE SOLO MERENDA SINOIRA  –  Beppe Gandolfo, “Niente apericena, solo merenda sinoira “, IL PUNTO – Cos’è…?!?! Blasfemi e ignoranti… quando il tempo era ancora scandito dalle campane e nei campi si lavorava fino a quando faceva scuro, verso sera ci si fermava per uno spuntino e raccontarsi i fatti del giorno >>.
