Dear Friends of Italy:
It is with deep feeling that I write the introduction to "my last Newsletter". As many of you know, at the end of summer Lilla, Andrea and I will go to Toronto to start a new adventure. My substitute will be Nicola De Santis, a great colleague to whom I immediately send my best wishes. These have been four extraordinary years, in which we have given our all to promote Italy to the best of our abilities, and which allowed us to meet people who we are honored to call friends. Thank you all!
I take this opportunity to give you a preview of what we have planned for this upcoming fall. We are working to produce - for September - the new edition of the ITALIAN FILM FESTIVAL with Harvard Film Archive and the Italian Professionals in Boston, with whom we are also planning a
SEMINAR ON START-UP COMPANIES, always in September. In October, along with the celebrations of the Italian Heritage Month, and the Week of the Italian Language in the World, we will have the third annual CONFERENCE ON ITALIAN HISTORY AND CULTURE DEDICATED TO SALVEMINI, to be held at the Center for European Studies at Harvard University. Finally, in keeping with tradition, the ITALIAN NIGHT AT THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM and the CHRISTMAS CONCERT WITH THE BOSTON CONSERVATORY.
Follow us on FACEBOOK and on TWITTER.
Happy reading to All!

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

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.

ART OF THE MASK IN THE COMMEDIA DELL'ARTE WORKSHOP
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.
