Cari Amici dell'Italia,
per maggio vi segnalo alcuni eventi in particolare. Il 2 maggio vi sara' l'ultimo CONCERTO DEL FESTIVAL SOUNDS OF ITALY, che e' ormai divenuto un appuntamento fisso per gli amanti della musica a Boston.
Proseguiamo il 7 maggio con la celebrazione - per la prima volta - del GIORNO DELL'EUROPA. Frutto di una collaborazione dei Consolati europei con il Berklee College of Music, si tratta dell'avvio di una importante tradizione, per cui voglio ringraziare la Presidenza di turno greca dell'Unione Europea.
Il 23 maggio, alla Dante Alighieri, vi sara' lo spettacolo sul FUTURISMO DI MASSIMILIANO FINNAZZER FLORY. E' la terza volta che Finazzer Flory viene a Boston e sono sicuro che non gli farete mancare tutto il vostro calore per questa sua nuova performance!
Il 31 maggio vi e' un evento a me molto caro: ITALIANISSIMO! SERATA DI GALA. L'annuale appuntamento di raccolta fondi per la creazione del Centro Italiano di Cultura di Boston (www.ficcb.it) e per sostenere l'insegnamento della nostra splendida lingua. Potete acquistare il biglietto d'ingresso online: i posti sono limitati!!!
Non mancate poi di visitare la MOSTRA DI CARAVAGGGIO al Museum of Fine Arts, che sara' in esposizione sino a meta' giugno.
Per chi ha bambini dai 4 ai 10 anni, segnalo che il CASIT organizzera' un CAMPO ESTIVO DI ITALIANO dal 7 al 18 luglio presso la Eliot Innovation School. Iscrivetevi subito!!!
Prendete per favore nota dei NUOVI ORARI DI APERTURA DEGLI UFFICI DEL CONSOLATO - necessari per far fronte alla temporanea riduzione dell'organico del Consolato - e seguiteci su FACEBOOK e su TWITTER.
Buona lettura!
Giuseppe Pastorelli

 Elvira has been promised to one man, but loves another. When she believes the object of her affection has betrayed her, she descends into madness. Bellini's bel canto gem unfolds during a tumultuous English civil war and features mad scenes filled with pathos and achingly beautiful music.
Troy Cook and Paul Whelan are the men trying to arrange marriage for Elvira. John Tessier and Sarah Coburn, acclaimed for their roles in BLO's The Barber of Seville, sing the roles of the lovers with Coburn delivering the famous tour de force soprano arias.

A Great Futurist Evening
A homage to Italian Futurism. Massimiliano Finazzer Flory plays the role of the movement's founder, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. In an effervescent monologue, which uses the words of Marinetti and other Futurist ideologues such as Giovanni Papini, Libero Altomare and Aldo Palazzeschi, Finazzer Flory, in a frock coat bringing to mind the formality of the era, conveys the essence of the movement, which reacted against any mediocrity or conformity.

HAPPENING NOW: April 12 - June 15 | Lee Gallery (Gallery 154) | Museum of Fine Arts | 465 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA
Visiting Masterpieces: Caravaggio
Take sides in an intense debate among leading authorities on Italian art and learn the possible answers to the question: What makes a Caravaggio? This exhibition provides the chance to study two nearly identical paintings ofSaint Francis in Meditation attributed to Caravaggio (1571-1610). Which one of these beautiful paintings is the original? Could they both be by the great Caravaggio? Both were rediscovered in the 20th century, one in Rome's Church of Santa Maria della Concezione, and the other in the Church of San Pietro in Carpineto Romano. Both show Saint Francis contemplating a skull. The composition is so compelling that numerous copies were made, even during the artist's lifetime. Scholars are divided as to which of the two is the original, and this presentation permits examination of the paintings side by side, brushstroke by brushstroke. An additional loan, the Capitoline Museums' famous Fortune Teller (1594), provides an undisputed example by Caravaggio's hand for comparison. Organized by the Muscarelle Museum of Art, the exhibition includes new scientific and archival research as well as enlarged details of the paintings and other technical images-allowing visitors to employ the same techniques as experts and decide for themselves. Together, these three paintings offer clues to an intriguing art historical mystery.

Italian Comedian Joe Avati
"Back to Basics"
 After an 8 year absence Boston Concepts is proud to present, Joe Avati with his brand new award winning bilingual Italian stand-up comedy show 'Back to Basics'. Joe Avati's comedy is unique in that he performs both English and Italian. He has that unique ability to be able to say the things that everyone thinks but no one articulates in their everyday speak. At the end of his concerts you will hear his audiences in the lobby belt out "everything he says is so true" and on the way home they will recount and hence re live their own childhood stories so in essence the Joe Avati experience continues long after the curtain has come down. Ticket Information: Box Office: 781-646-4849 or online at www.regenttheatre.com

Register Now: ART OF THE MASK IN THE COMMEDIA DELL'ARTE WORKSHOP (June 23 - July 19)
29th International Workshop
 | | Click image to open pdf |
The work of the Sartori dates back to the post-war period (1945-47) when the Italian intellectual world renewed its desire to recover the origins of its cultural history. So the Italian sculptor Amleto Sartori started a long period of experimental research on the masks of the Italian Commedia, its characters and the construction techniques forgotten for more than two centuries, which was to bring him to the re-discovery, though it would be more precise to say the re-invention, not only of the ancient manufacturing technique for the leather masks but also of its artistic significance. Amleto died at the height of his activity, but he left his son Donato a heritage of cultural and technical knowledge which, keeping up the tradition of the ancient "bottega dell'arte", is carried out and perfected by adapting it to the needs of contemporary society. Donato started an intense collaboration with Barrault, Eduardo de Filipo, Strehler, Lecoq, Dario Fo and Peter Oskarson, creating masks for their performances. He dealt with experimental research in the field of sculpture and the graphic arts: his works can be found in various Modern Art Museums in Venice, New York, Tokyo, Mexico City, Paris and took active part in international cultural events with cultural activities.
In 1979, together with the scenographer Paolo Trombetta and the architect Paola Piizzi, he founded the CENTRO MASCHERE E STRUTTURE GESTUALI. Set up as a multi-disciplinary research group, it studies the various ethnological, anthropological and spectacular aspects which involve the reality of the masks as a whole and, in a progressive evolution, it stretches beyond the creation of body masks and gestural structures and brings us right up to the environmental masking or urban masking. The Centre has held exhibitions, workshops and performances in the United States, South America, Canada, Japan, China, Russia, Africa, Indonesia and throughout Europe.
