Life and work
Early life
Born to businessman Jacques Canetti and Mathilde née Arditti in Ruse, a city on the Danube in Bulgaria, Canetti was the eldest of three sons. His ancestors were Sephardi Jews who had been expelled from Spain in 1492. His paternal ancestors had settled in Ruse from Ottoman Adrianople. The original family name was Cañete, named after Cañete, Cuenca, a village in Spain.
In Ruse, Canetti's father and grandfather were successful merchants who operated out of a commercial building, which they had built in 1898. Canetti's mother descended from one of the oldest Sephardi families in Bulgaria, Arditti, who were among the founders of the Ruse Jewish colony in the late 18th century. The Ardittis can be traced back to the 14th century, when they were court physicians and astronomers to the Aragonese royal court of Alfonso IV and Pedro IV. Before settling in Ruse, they had lived in Livorno in the 17th century.

Wheels
by: HawkwindWhat is this?
As we are flying through the atmosphere
And coming to Earth
All we can see is your pollution
How long do you think the wheels will keep on turning?
How long do you think the wheels will keep on turning?
Nuclear radiation leaks through your lands
Your rivers are gone
Tankers seep oil into your seas
How long will the wheels will keep on turning?
For how long will the wheels will keep on turning?
And it's like you don't really care
And it's like you don't really care
You don't really care
You don't really care
Your ozone's gone
Gases weep through your lands
You really feel lost
????
And your eyes despair
And it's like you don't really care
And it's like you don't really care
You don't care
Do you really care?
We don't care
Do you really care?
How long will the wheels will keep on turning?
How long?
Your seas are gone
Your animals are dead
And it's like you don't really care
Do you really care?
Do you really care?
Do you really care?
Do you really care?
Do you really care?
Do you really care?
Do you really care?
Do you really care?
Do you really care?
Radiation seeps through your lands
Your ozone's gone
Do you really care?
Do you really care?
Do you really care?
Do you really care?
Do you really care?
Do you really care?
Do you really care?
