Cari Amici dell'Italia,
anche a luglio e agosto non mancheranno occasioni per partecipare ad eventi legati alla nostra cultura.
Cominciamo venerdi` 8 luglio con l'apertura della stagione estiva della Boston Symphony Orchestra a Tangelwood, quando sara` possibile ascoltare musiche di Bellini, Rossini, Verdi e Respighi eseguite dal tenore italiano Roberto De Blasio. A fine luglio poi, la festa di San Giuseppe, patrono di Riesi, offrira` alla comunita` un momento di ritrovo tra le strade del North End, nonche` l'opportunita` di partecipare all'annuale raccolta di beneficienza.
Vi ricordo inoltre che ad agosto, il 7, ci sara` "Tutto Italiano", una grande parata di 300 macchine presso il Larz Anderson Museum di Brookline. La sera prima, il 6 luglio - sempre al Museo - vi sara` il "Tutto Italiano" party, assolutamente da non perdere. Il 29 agosto potrete ammirare al Coolidge Corner Theatre "La strada" di Fellini, un classico del cinema italiano.
Ricordo infine a chi vuole seguire giornalmente fatti e curiosita' che legano l'Italia a questa terra, non perdete infine la rubrica "Italy-New England: do you know that?", presente sul sito del Consolato.
Auguro a tutti voi delle serene vacanze e ci rivediamo a settembre!
Giuseppe Pastorelli

Dear Friends of Italy,
July and August will be two months rich of opportunities to participate at events linked to our culture.
The first one is scheduled for July 8th, with the opening of the summer season at the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Tanglewood, when the Italian tenor Roberto de Blasio will amuse his public by performing music written by Bellini, Rossini, Verdi and Respighi. At the end of July, the Saint Joseph day, patron of the city of Riesi, will offer to the community an occasion to gather together within the streets of North End, as well as the chance to participate at the annual charity fundraising.
I would like to anticipate that on August 7th the Larz Anderson Museum of Brookline will host the "Tutto Italiano" event, a big parade of 300 cars. Save the date for August 6th because the Larz Anderson Museum will host the "Tutto Italiano" party, do not miss it!
I am also pleased to announce that on August 29th the Coolidge Corner Theatre will offer the opportunity to enjoy "La Strada" by Fellini, a classic Italian movie.
For those who desire to follow daily facts and curiosities that link Italy to this land, don't forget the press review "Italy-New England: do you know that?" which can be found on the Consulate's web site.
I wish a lovely summer to all of you and I will see you in September!

Wednesday, July 29th, 30th and 31st in the North End, Boston
St. Joseph's Feast
The St. Joseph Society in the North End originated in 1925 by Italian immigrants and descendants from the Riesi area of Caltanessetta, Sicily.
The adoption of St. Joseph as Patron of Riesi was in the rich tradition of devotion to a specific saint, characteristic of regions in Italy. The descendants of the founders of the society carry on this tradition in a North End society, which is very different from the North End of 1925.
In the midst of change, dramatic in nature, the St. Joseph Society, as do other religious societies in the North End, knows instinctively and inherently the importance of maintaining traditions and customs. With a sense of commitment to the past and continuity for the future, the customs of family and place will endure.
The founders of the Society were grateful for the blessings in their lives and the one means of expressing such gratitude was through the St. Joseph feast day gathering of family and friends on March 19th. A bountiful table with bread and food was established and the community was invited to participate. Traditional prayers and a young male representing St. Joseph giving the St. Joseph Prayer are important components of this traditional, nearly forgotten gathering.
St. Joseph's Feast which begins the annual North End festivals takes place the last weekend in July. The St. Joseph statue permanently resides in the St. Joseph Chapel on Charter Street and has been lovingly restored. This statue is carried through the streets of the North End on a familiar route. Until recently, on some small secondary streets, elderly Italian men and women could still be seen looking out third or fourth floor windows to greet the marchers and throw down a dollar bill.
The Society annually donates to an orphanage in Riesi, and contributes to local, national and international charitable causes.
Many of the restaurants new to the community in the last generation and many of the young professionals moving into the area are supportive of St. Joseph's and other North End societies. The importance of a rich, cultural heritage brings a sense of uniqueness viability and longevity to the community.

Monday August 29th 7.00pm at the Coolidge Corner Theatre
"La Strada"
 | | Click on image to enlarge it |
Important films in the pantheon of cinema history are often not
recognized as such until decades after their release. This was definitely not the case, however, with La Strada (1954). Revered French film critic Andre Bazin's reaction to the film announced, "Federico Fellini has here achieved one of those very rare films, of which we forget that they are movies
and accept them simply as a masterpiece."
Tickets: $9.75 General Admission, $6.75 for seniors and coolidge members
