Vi ricordo che quest'anno la parata del Columbus Day avrà luogo domenica 8 ottobre con partenza alle ore 13 dalla Boston City Hall Plaza per arrivare fino all'italianissimo quartiere del North End!
Tra i vari eventi vi segnalo anche quelli collegati alla Settimana della lingua italiana tra cui in particolare la sesta edizione del Salvemini Colloquium presso il CES di Harvard che sarà dedicato al grande direttore d'orchestra Arturo Toscanini. Questo sarà un mese particolarmente ricco per tutti i melomani, con la Tosca di Puccini che andrà in scena presso il Boston Lyric Opera (13-22 ottobre) e la prestigiosa Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia che terrà un concerto a Boston il 22 ottobre. Inoltre, i più attenti alle questioni politiche ed economiche non potranno mancare l'incontro con Romano Prodi il 4 ottobre ad Harvard!

Il Circolo Italiano di Boston presenta Victor Carrabino Il Risorgimento Italiano: "Una Restaurata Vita Morale"
|
|
|
click on image for location info
|
Lo spirito liberale e nazionale che aleggia in Italia nell'Ottocento, ed i principi già affermati per l'umanità dalla Rivoluzione Francese, anche di derivazione illuministica, come l'eguaglianza, libertà e fraterrnità, danno vita ad un fenomeno importante della vita civile e politica italiana: Il Risorgimento. È una "restaurata vita morale", una graduale riconquista di un'identità nazionale. Quattro figure risorgimentali di spicco sono Giuseppe Mazzini, Vittorio Emanuele II, Camillo Benso Conte di Cavour e Giuseppe Garibaldi. Ognuno di loro parte con un'idea politica, spesso anche contradittoria, per promuovere l'unificazione e una rinascita italiana. Sebbene molto inchiostro sia stato versato su quest'argomento e vari sono stati gli approcci, tuttavia l'Unità d'Italia non riuscì ad unire il popolo italiano. L'Italia fu divisa in due, un'Italia del Nord e un'Italia del Sud. Questa visione regionalista sostiene la tesi che il Risorgimento rimane tuttora una storia controversa.
Victor Carrabino è Professore Emeritus della Florida State University e al presente Visiting Professor a Wheaton College. Ha pubblicato articoli e libri,i fra quali The Power of Myth and LIterature in Film e Alain Robbe-Grillet and the Phenomenological Novel ed è Contributing Editor presso The Pirandello Society of America fra le altre sue
attività.

Salvemini Colloquium in Italian History and Culture presents - Toscanini: Musician of Conscience
Harvey Sachs
Writer and Music Historian; Faculty Member, Curtis Institute of Music
Writer and music historian Harvey Sachs explores the legacy of Arturo Toscanini - the man who was, arguably, the most influential classical performing musician of the twentieth century. This lecture will be based on Sachs's recently published book, Toscanini: Musician of Conscience, a new biography that replaces his 1978 biography of the famed Italian conductor. It is an account not only of Toscanini's work and its impact but also of his turbulent personal life and his principled stand against Fascism.
About
Named in honor of the Italian anti-fascist historian Gaetano Salvemini, who spent much of his career as a professor in the Harvard department of history, this annual lecture is co-sponsored with the Consulate General of Italy in Boston and aims to foster a spirit of intellectual inquiry into Italian history within the Harvard community and beyond. This year marks the 60th anniversary of Gaetano Salvemini's death.
A reception will follow the lecture from 7-8 p.m. in the CES Atrium.

Presentation
by Donna Franca
of her book "Pride and Perseverance: a Story of Love and Courage, my Recipe for Success"
Franca Franzaroli was born and raised in Rome, Italy. She received her teaching degree from the Magistero University in Rome where she was trained as a Montessori teacher, and taught third grade in an all-girls school before marrying and moving to Boston in 1955.
Pride and Perseverance is the story of my life. It begins with my childhood during the Second World War, when I came to understand the meaning of privation and terror with German occupation and the Allied bombings of Rome, the city where I was born. It then follows my formative years in Italy - what I learned in and out of school, especially what my extended family taught me about being resourceful and productive. Thus, in relating the humble traditions of my grandparents and, moreover, the strong heritage of my mother and father, who left their good farming families in Tuscany for a better life in Rome, my story is about what made me the person I am today, along with my pride in being Italian.
It is also about my perseverance -- in my personal and professional life. I narrate both my triumphs and hardships in the U.S. as the twenty-two year old bride of an American GI, and later as the mother of four children; and I recount how I turned negative circumstances into positive outcomes through determination and hard work. As one of the few successful female tour operators in the highly competitive travel industry, I had to set ambitious goals and prove myself time and again, while maintaining my integrity and providing an outstanding quality of service to all my clients. Sharing with them my passion for Italy -- either as their first exposure to my country, or as their reconnection with their own Italian roots -- has become one of my proudest achievements.
Finally, my story expresses an abiding belief that facing challenges and hardships can only strengthen our character and discipline us to become confident in our abilities and help us to actualize the successful, strong individual within each of us. And as a special "gift" to my readers, every chapter of my book includes a truly authentic Italian recipe based on my own culinary creations and the expertise of the many chefs I have met in my travels throughout the regions of Italy. It is my hope that readers will enjoy "la cucina italiana" with a hearty "Buon appetito"!

Accademia della Cucina Italiana
Commitment and Research for the protection of the traditions of Italian cuisine
Goethe disse "dimmi con chi vai e ti diro chi sei, e se so di cosa ti occupi sapro che cosa vuoi diventare".
L'Accademia Italiana della Cucina, ha lo scopo di identificare ristoranti italiani e di accertarne la qualita.
La qualita del cibo non puo essere isolata dalla qualita dell'ambiente, dal servizio, dalla conoscenza e gentilezza del personale. In sintesi, la vera esperienza italiana a tavola composta da tutti quegli elementi che contribuiscono a rendere la colazione un evento culturale e non una attivita mangiereccia, lo scopo non e' di sfamarsi bensi di ricordare odori e sapori autentici di una storia millenaria se pure in evoluzione. Gli Accademici condividono l'amore per la buona tavola e per la sana conversazione, l'Accademia riprende il pensiero di Goethe almeno nella sua prima parte tanto da celebrare lo stare insieme e nutrirne insegnamento. Al ristoratore, dedichiamo la seconda parte del pensiero di Goethe pertanto ci poniamo la domanda - di cosa si occupa principalmente il cuoco? Se si occupa della cucina allora l'amore per gli ingredienti e come innovarli rispettando la storia e la classicita della cucina Italiana, diventa l'attivita primaria. Tutto il resto e' business o peggio fuffa. I cuochi nel Medioevo erano organizzati e rappresentavano la propria gerarchia, con Enrico IV di Francia la gerarchia era stata suddivisa in aree di competenza con i "maestri chef, cuochi e porte chapes" dedicati a organizzare pranzi di nozze. Questi chef, alla fine del loro apprendistato avevano il compito di offrire 6 libbre di carne o pesce a ciascun membro della Confraternita e riceverne la critica.
