until Paone read an article of the work ol
Church of Christ in and around Frascati
the basic aims and do» trine of the church
presented
He wrote and received the Bible Correspondence
Course Hom Frascati In the winter of 1951 he
made a tup to Frascati and from there was put
in contact with brethren working in Milan which
is much nearer to Padova In June of 195t he was
baptized in Milan, and returned to his home in
Padova In the fall of that same year Howard
Bybee moved from Milan to initiate the work in
Padova and from that time Paone has collaborated
actively in the work of evangelization
Under the oversight of the Crescent Hill con-
gregation in Brownfield, Texas. Paone continues his
evangelistic work He continues an active part in
the work at Padova where Kenneth Beard is serv-
ing as missionary. During the summer Paone goes
to his native village of San Felice to evangelize.
A group of five Christians meets there with
several other interested individuals present. His
service also includes the writing of the tract, “No
Bishop of Other Bishops" and others, as well as
articles for II Seme del Regno.” He collaborated
in preparing the hymnal now in use by the church
in Italy
Since the beginning of the Florence Bible School
in 1959 he has regularly commuted to the school to
teach Bible Greek. He remains at the school three
days each week, and his elderly presence is much
appreciated He has also held meetings in Trieste,
Bologna. Verona, and Vicenza.
A particular interest in poetry has marked the
* changing circumstances of the life of Raffaello
Paone While still a student priest at the age of
20 his poetry was presented in book form entitled,
• Ai i; ALBA" 'At Dawn>. This work was heralded
by the Jesuit publication “LA CIVILTA ( AT-
TOLICA" as the dawn of a promising poetic career,

beyond the borders of Italy. Then in 1943 he pub-

Raffaello Paone -Evangelist, Poet- Italian Inspiration
first son. Following this publication Paone received
an anonymous poem in Latin 'obviously from a
Jesuit source, he author of which is not difficult
to supposei which in substatui* said. "\ou cry
over the loss of your son who was born to you
by a prostitute! But death has merely saved him
from knowing what a father he had ”
From this occasion Paone continued to com-
pose as a pastime, and some of these works were
included in the 1959 publication "SCR1TTORI I)'-
OGfil 'Writers of Today • Among these composi-
tions were "II Mio Battesimo Cristiano" 'My Chris-
tian Baptisin' and La Mia Musa ' -that is.
Christian Faith" >. He was later included in
lection made by a Florentine publisher in
IN VETKINA" Poets in the Show Window '.
And. in Paone's words, "all would have been
finished, if it had not been for fratftnal insistence
that I come teach in the Florence Bible School
>f the Church of Christ My presence in Florence
caused me to want to renew old friendships, among
whom, the editor of the literary review "CYNTHIA”.
This editor appealed to him to prepare I atin ver-
sions of some Italian masterpiece* which were pub-
lished soon afterward As a result his work in
Latin became known to latinists outside Italy —
to \ 11 \ LA I INA in Avignon. France: to PAI.ES-
IHA LATINA in Spain and to "EUFROSYNE”
n Portugal In addition, this work has helped him
establish friendly relationships with latinists in Bel-
gium Germany . Holland and the I'nited States Of
. ill the acquaintances among latinists. Paone hold*
very dear his friendship with Wmiam M (»reen
of the t Diversity of California

In response to one ot his recent Latin

position!
Paone fully knows that such a compliment would
not have t>een paid had his real name been known,
for from a similar source he received the cruel
Latin sentiments after his poem "Vitueius" for hra
dead son. for this was signed with his real name.
In fact, only last year he sent a Latin poem to
' Latinitas" in competition under his real name,
and did not even receive a reply.
His latest book of I atin and Italian works,
"FIORI DELLA LIRICA ITALIANA" 'Flowers of
Italian Lyric' includes not only some original
Italian poems, but aLso original 1-atin poems and
Latin versions of noted Italian poetry Included in
this work is the first poetic effort of his teen-age
son. Vinicio, who bears the name of the first son,
which poem an English publisher desires to in-
clude in an anthology and has asked Paone to
adapt in Latin. The opening poem of this recent
volume is entitled "CHRISTI POOEM1UM sive
Evangelirae Beatitudines” and is a work based on
the Beatitudes of Christ in the Sermon on tho
Mount.
The national Radio Television network of Italy,
RAI. has paid particular recognition to this latest
work of Paone and to his ability and style in Latin
poetry. In a second transmission RAI treated es-
pecially his patin translation of “Cavallina Morna",
a fampus work of the noted Italian poet Giovanni
Pascoli. During this program the cultural aim of
Paone, to use Latin as a very effective means of
exchanging noted literary works among various na-
tionalities. was applauded.
However, even though this pastime offers much
satisfaction. Paone confide* that his aim. far higher
than the poetic endeavors themselves, is that of
realizing an effective evangelization also among
such sensitive and sincere souls as those of poets.
Already he has numerous opportunities to discuss
with interested individuals the concepts expressed
in his work. From these initial discussions he hopes
to challenge learned men in latinity to become
learned in the Bible m which they are now “magical*
ly and not magisterially" instructed. ’__________
