Anaïs Ronc-Désaymonet (born December 28, 1890 in Arpuilles , city of Aosta , † September 25, 1955 in Aosta) was an Italian teacher, politician and writer .

Life

Anaïs Désaymonet comes from a farming family who lived in the small village of Arpuilles. The mountain village is located in the northwest of the municipality of the city of Aosta, 500 meters higher than the city center. The collina d'Aosta is located at the exit of the Valpelline high above the Buthier river in the Aosta Valley and on a side road to the Great St. Bernard Pass . Anaïs Désaymonet attended the Marie-Adélaïde teacher training college in Aosta after primary school and then worked as a teacher in Gignod , Chezallet (municipality of Sarre ), Nus , Cogne , Villeneuve , Saint-Christophe and Aosta. In addition, she cultivated the traditional handicraft of lace.

From 1949 until her death in 1955, she was elected for two legislatures in the regional council of the Autonomous Region of Aosta Valley, which had been installed after the Second World War . She belonged to the socialist faction and campaigned for women's rights. Désaymonet managed to get rid of her fascist past. She was one of the best-known representatives of the fascist party in the Aosta Valley and chairman of the fascist women's association ( Italian fasci femminili ) of Villeneuve.

Since it was founded on July 1, 1948, it has been a member of the Comité des Traditions Valdôtaines CTV. On August 5, 1948, she was elected president of the Patois Commission of this group, which is particularly responsible for maintaining the regional Franco-Provençal dialect, the Valdostan patois . In this function she organized the establishment of the dialect choir of the CTV.

Anaïs Ronc-Désaymonet was one of the first dialect writers in the Aosta Valley in the 20th century, as did Reine Bibois (1894–1976), Eugénie Martinet (1896–1983) and Armandine Jérusel (1904–?). She wrote prose works and poems in the Franco-Provencal dialect of the Aosta area and several French school books dealing with the history, culture and legends of the region. One of her works is dedicated to the folklore of the Cogne Valley . Some of her writings first appeared in newspapers and magazines in the Aosta Valley, where the author was better known under the name "Tanta Neïsse"; that is in German "Tanta Anais". Among the first periodicals to publish their dialect texts were Lo Partisan and La Grolla by the cultural and language activist René Willien (1916–1979), who founded the regional language institute now known as the Center d'études francoprovençales «René Willien» . In 1990 the Comité des Traditions Valdôtaines and the Center d'Études Francoprovençales "René Willien" re-edited the author's works.

In 2019, the work of Anaïs Ronc-Désaymonet was honored together with those of other writers from the Aosta Valley in an exhibition at the Regional Library in Aosta.

In 2011, the city's education and culture department announced a scholarship to support students of the Marie-Adélaïde seminar in Aosta in memory of Anaïs Ronc-Désaymonet .
