Ke kū nei ʻo Phil Williams ma ka pā o kona home ma Telegraph Hill, Kapalakiko, ma kahi kokoke i kona kiʻi o ke akua wahine Roma ʻo Fortuna.
I ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana o ka mea pena kiʻi ʻāina ʻo Amey Papitto no ka San Francisco Artists Guild Fair ma Wakinekona Square Park i ke kakahiaka o ka Lāpule, ua ʻike kona maka i kahi kiʻi wiliwī ma luna o ka hale o Telegraph Hill e kū pono ana i ka paka.
"Ua like ia me ka wahine me ka malu e pale aku iā ia iho mai ka makani," wahi a Papito. Ua ʻike ʻo ia e neʻe ana ka umbrella i mea e huki ai i kona manaʻo i ka lae ma waena o ka puʻu kiko o ka Ekalesia o ka Saints Peter lāua ʻo Paul a me ka Coit Tower ma ka puʻu.
Ma waena o kēia mau hiʻohiʻona ʻelua, me he mea lā ua lele ʻia ka ʻike i ka lewa i ka wā hoʻoilo, a inā hiki iā Papitto ke haʻalele i ka hale kiʻi kiʻi a hahai i kona ʻimi ʻana ma o ka paka, ma o ka laina kakahiaka Sabati ma ka hale o kona makuahine, ka lehulehu ʻai. a ma lalo o Greenwich— alanui a hiki i Grant, ʻike ʻo ia iā Phil Williams ma luna o ka hale ma luna o ka puʻu.
Ua kūkulu ʻo Williams, he ʻenekinia kīwila i hoʻomaha ʻia, i ke kiʻi o ke akua wahine Roma ʻo Fortuna ma ʻaneʻi, he kope o kāna mea i ʻike ai ma ka Canal Nui ma Venise. Ua kūkulu ʻo ia i kope a hoʻokomo ʻia ma luna o kona hale i Pepeluali, no kona manaʻo e pono i kona kūlanakauhale hou ke hoʻomaha.
"Ua paʻa nā kānaka a pau ma Kapalakiko a me ke kaumaha," i wehewehe ʻo Williams, 77, i nā mea hoʻolaha e kīkēkē ana i kona puka. "Makemake ka poʻe i kahi mea maikaʻi a hoʻomanaʻo iā lākou i ke kumu o ko lākou noho ʻana ma Kapalakiko i ka wā mua."
ʻO ke ʻano he ʻano maʻamau, ua kūkulu ʻia ka hana noʻeau ma luna o kahi mannequin kaila hōʻikeʻike pono e wehe ʻia e piʻi i nā ʻanuʻu he 60 o ke alapiʻi haiki loa o ka Hale Williams hale ʻekolu ma hope o ke olai 1906. Aia ma luna o ka papa o ka hale, ua kau ʻia ma luna o kahi pahu ʻehā kapuaʻi kiʻekiʻe i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me kahi plinth e hiki ai i ka ʻāpana ke hoʻololi i kona axis. ʻO Fortune nona iho he 6 kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi, akā hāʻawi ka paepae iā ia i 12 kapuaʻi, ma luna o kahi hale he 40 kapuaʻi mai ke alanui e hiki ke hiki i nā alapiʻi. He ʻano peʻa kona mau lima kīkoʻo, me he mea lā e pāpaʻi ana i ka makani.
Akā i kēlā kiʻekiʻe, ua pani ʻia ka ʻike o Fortuna mai ke alanui. Hoʻokipa ʻo ia iā ʻoe i kona nani gula a pau, e like me Papitto, aia ma ka paka ma mua o Mario's Bohemian Cigar Shop.
Ua hoʻomālamalama ʻia kekahi kiʻi o ke akua wahine Helene ʻo Fortune ma luna o ka pā hale o Phil Williams i ka wā ʻahaʻaina ma Kapalakiko.
Ua huakaʻi ʻo Monique Dorthy o Roseville a me kāna mau kaikamāhine ʻelua mai Greenwich a i Coit Tower i ka lā Lāpule e ʻike i ke kiʻi Cramer Place, ʻo ia ka mea i lawa e pale iā ia mai ke kolo ʻana i ka hanu i waenakonu o ka poloka.
“He wahine ia. ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu i kāna mea e paʻa nei - kekahi ʻano hae," wahi āna. I ka ʻōlelo ʻana he hana noʻeau ke kiʻi a ka poʻe kamaʻāina, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, "Inā he mea hauʻoli iā ia a hauʻoli hoʻi i ke kūlanakauhale, makemake wau."
Manaʻo ʻo Williams e hāʻawi i kahi ʻōlelo hohonu iā Fortuna, ke akua wahine Roma o ka waiwai, mai kona hale.
"ʻAʻole wau i manaʻo he manaʻo maikaʻi ke kui i kahi mea ma luna o ka hale," wahi āna. "Akā, kūpono ia. Hōʻike ʻo Fortune iā mākou i kahi e paʻi ai ka makani o ka hopena. Hoʻomanaʻo ia iā mākou i ko mākou wahi ma ka honua. "
ʻO Williams, he malihini Pelekane i ʻike nui ʻia no kāna hana ʻenekinia ma ke kahawai ʻo Chrissy Field, ʻaʻole i lohe ʻo Fortune ma mua o ka lawe ʻana i kāna wahine ʻo Patricia i ka hoʻomaha i Venice ma mua o ka maʻi maʻi. Ua nānā aku ko lākou lumi hōkele iā Dogana di Mare, he hale dute o ke kenekulia 17, ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ka Canal Nui. Aia ka ʻea ma luna o ka hale. Ua ʻōlelo ke alakaʻi ʻo ia ke akua wahine ʻo Fortuna, i hana ʻia e ka mea kālai baroque Bernardo Falcone. Ua hoʻopili ʻia i ka hale mai ka makahiki 1678.
Ke ʻimi nei ʻo Williams i kahi mea hoihoi hou ma luna o ka hale ma hope o ka lele ʻana o kahi pahu kiʻi obscura āna i kūkulu ai i ke kaupaku o ka lumi hoʻolaha o ka papahele ma luna a pono e wāwahi ʻia.
Ua hele ʻo ia a puni ʻo Washington Square e ʻike pono i kona hale. A laila hoʻi ʻo ia i kona home a kāhea aku i kāna hoaaloha, ʻo 77 makahiki ʻo Petaluma sculptor Tom Cipes.
"Ua ʻike koke ʻo ia i ka hiki ke noʻonoʻo hou i ke kiʻi Venetian 17th-century a lawe mai i Kapalakiko," wahi a Williams.
Hāʻawi ʻo Cipes i kāna hana, ʻeono mahina. Ua manaʻo ʻo Williams i ke kumu kūʻai o $5,000. Ua loaʻa kahi waihona fiberglass ma Mannequin Madness ma ʻAkika. ʻO ka luʻu a Cipes, ʻo ia ka hoʻopiha ʻana iā ia me ka iwi kila a me ka sima i ikaika e kākoʻo mau ai i kona lepo, akā māmā naʻe e wili aʻe i ka wā i pā mai ai ka makani i kona lauoho nani. ʻO ka pā hope loa, ʻo ia ka patina ma kāna gula, e nānā aku ana iā ia i ka wā i hahau ʻia e ka noe a me ka ua.
He kiʻi o ke akua wahine Roma ʻo Fortune e kū ana ma luna o ka hale o Phil Williams ma Telegraph Hill ma Kapalakiko.
Ua kūkulu ʻo Williams i kahi kiʻi ma luna o ka lua kahi i kū ai ka pahu kiʻi obscura, e hana ana i wahi no ka paepae o Fortune. Ua kau ʻo ia i nā kukui papahele e hoʻomālamalama i ke kiʻi mai ka hola 8 a i ka hola 9 pm, lōʻihi ka lōʻihi e hoʻohui ai i ka vibe i ka pō i ka paka, akā ʻaʻole i lawa ka lōʻihi e hoʻopilikia nui i nā hoa noho ʻālohilohi.
Ma ka la 18 o Feberuari, ma ka po akaka, mahina ole o Feberuari, i ka olinolino ana o na kukui o ke kulanakauhale, ua pani ia no na hoaloha. Piʻi pakahi lākou i nā alapiʻi a hiki i ka hale, kahi i hoʻokani ai ʻo Williams i kahi leo o Carmina Burana, he ʻōlelo aʻo i kākau ʻia no Fortuna i ke kenekulia 20. Ua palai lākou me ka prosecco. Heluhelu ke kumu Italia i ka poem "O Fortune" a hoʻopili i nā huaʻōlelo i ke kumu o ke kiʻi.
"ʻEkolu mau lā ma hope mai, hoʻonohonoho mākou iā ia a hana i kahi ʻino," wahi a Williams. "ʻAʻole oʻu makemake i ka weliweli loa, akā ua like ia me ke kiʻi ʻana i kahi genie makani."
He kakahiaka Sabati anu a makani, a e hula ana o Fortune, e hookau ana i ka leialii maluna o kona poo a e hookiekie i na pea.
"Manaʻo wau he mea ʻoluʻolu," wahi a kahi kanaka i hōʻike iā ia iho ʻo Gregory ka inoa, ka mea i kaʻa mai kona home ma Pacific Heights no ka hele wāwae ʻana ma Wakinekona Square. “Aloha au i ka hipster San Francisco.”

Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he mea kākau limahana no ka kolamu "People" a Herb Kahn a ua kākau ʻo ia e pili ana i nā kānaka mai ia manawa mai. ʻO ia ka mea kākau moʻolelo ma ke ʻano he loea i ke kākau ʻana i nā obituaries lōʻihi. Noho ʻo ia ma Kapalakiko a hele ʻo ia i ʻekolu mau mile i ka lā ma nā alanui pali o ke kūlanakauhale.
