Remembering Vasco Rader

With the passing of Vasco Rader, we have been looking back at the work ADVISA undertook under his leadership.

Vasco was deeply committed to strengthening the connection between South Africa and Veneto, and to giving young people of Veneto origin opportunities to discover and experience their heritage.

During his time at ADVISA, there were cultural exchanges, educational initiatives, sporting tours, cooking courses, conferences, exhibitions and projects celebrating Veneto language, culture and history. ADVISA also welcomed visitors and delegations from Veneto and helped create opportunities for South Africans and Venetians to connect.

From rugby and cooking to architecture, art and language, the work was broad and varied, but the purpose was consistent: to build connections and keep the relationship between Veneto and South Africa alive.

We are grateful for Vasco’s contribution to that work and for the legacy he leaves within the Veneto community in South Africa.

Ricordando Vasco Rader

Con la scomparsa di Vasco Rader, abbiamo ripercorso il lavoro svolto da ADVISA sotto la sua guida.

Vasco era profondamente impegnato a rafforzare il legame tra il Sudafrica e il Veneto e a offrire a tutti incluso i giovani di origine veneta l’opportunità di conoscere e vivere la propria eredità culturale.

Durante il suo periodo in ADVISA furono organizzati scambi culturali, iniziative educative, viaggi sportivi, corsi di cucina, conferenze, mostre e progetti dedicati alla lingua, alla cultura e alla storia del Veneto. ADVISA accolse inoltre visitatori e delegazioni provenienti dal Veneto, creando occasioni di incontro e di scambio tra sudafricani e veneti.

Dal rugby alla cucina, dall’architettura all’arte e alla lingua, il lavoro fu ampio e variegato, ma l’obiettivo rimase sempre lo stesso: creare legami e mantenere vivo il rapporto tra il Veneto e il Sudafrica.

Siamo grati a Vasco per il suo contributo a questo lavoro e per l’eredità che lascia nella comunità veneta in Sudafrica.

Cattedra in Italian means a teacher’s desk/chair or lectern, and more broadly the official position or chair of a professor.

It comes from Latin cathedra, meaning chair, which comes from Ancient Greek καθέδρα (kathédra), literally a “seat.”

That gives you this fascinating chain:

Greek kathédra → Latin cathedra → Italian cattedra → Veneto carèga

And cathedral comes from the same root: a cathedral is the church containing the bishop’s cathedra, or official chair.

So carèga and cattedra are ultimately relatives — although they travelled through different linguistic paths.

What are other words that come from the Greek but have entered every day Veneto dialects?

What about piròn which means form? What else springs to mind?

One of those wonderfully expressive words from the Veneto dialect.

Some words don’t really translate. They belong to a place.
