Cari italiani e cari amici dell'Italia,
desidero innanzitutto inviare a tutti voi e ai vostri cari i piu' sinceri auguri di Buone Feste!
Sono felice di annunciarvi che, in occasione dell'avvicinarsi delle festività natalizie, anche quest'anno si terrà il tradizionale Concerto di Natale, giunto ormai alla sua quarta edizione, organizzato insieme con gli Amici del Centro Italiano di Cultura (FICC) ed il Boston Conservatory. Il Concerto avra' luogo il 4 dicembre alle 18:30 presso la Chiesa del Sacro Cuore nel North End. E' una bellissima tradizione a cui sono sicuro parteciperete numerosi!
Per gli amanti dell'arte ricordo che presso l'Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum si terra' fino al 25 gennaio la prima mostra monografica statunitense dedicata al pittore rinascimentale Carlo Crivelli dal titolo "Ornament and Illusion". Una bellissima mostra che sono sicuro non vi deluderà! Infine, per gli amanti del jazz, e non solo, segnalo che prosegue la serie di incontri "Sounds of Italy" con il concerto di Lello Molinari al Ryles Jazz Club il 9 dicembre.
Auguri a tutti voi e buona lettura!
Nicola De Santis

About the Speaker
Giuliana Bruno is internationally known for her research on the intersections of the visual arts, architecture, film, and media. Her latest book is Surface: Matters of Aesthetics, Materiality, and Media, published by the University of Chicago Press in 2014. Her seminal work Atlas of Emotion: Journeys in Art, Architecture, and Film (Verso, 2002) won the 2004 Kraszna-Krausz Book Award in Culture and History - a prize awarded to "the world's best book on the moving image" - and has provided new directions for visual studies. Atlas was also honored as Outstanding Academic Title by the American Library Association, and named a Book of the Year in 2003 by the Guardian. Her recent book Public Intimacy: Architecture and the Visual Arts (MIT Press, 2007) has been translated in Europe and Asia. For Streetwalking on a Ruined Map (Princeton University Press, 1993), a journey through modernity and cultural memory, she won the Society for Cinema and Media Studies annual award for best book in film studies. Off Screen (Routledge, 1988) was devoted to women and film, and Immagini allo schermo (Rosenberg & Sellier, 1991) was named one of the 50 Best Books of the First 100 Years of Film History.

The Making of a Miracle
From the filmmakers who brought you "Ciao America" comes the final chapter in the Italian-American immigrant saga. Twenty years in the making, the script for "Miracle of Ferragosto" represents the dream project of the two Italian-American brothers from Boston.

As the camera rolls, the development process unfolds, punctuated by stories from the Filmmakers about their own personal "miracles" and the encounters with divine intervention that have kept them going against all odds.

Rosa Barba: The Color of Space
|
| |
click on image for more info
|
Rosa Barba's works encompassing sculptures, installations, text pieces, and publications are grounded in the material qualities of cinema. Her film sculptures examine the physical properties of the projector, celluloid, and projected light. Barba's longer projected works are situated between experimental documentary and fictional narrative, and are indeterminately situated in the past or the future. These speculative stories probe into the relationship of historical record, personal anecdote, and filmic representation. For this first survey of her work in North America, Barba premieres The Color Out of Space (2015), a new film incorporating images of stars and planets collected over the last year at Hirsch Observatory at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The work expands upon Barba's ongoing interrogation of geological time as measured against the span of a human lifetime. The exhibition includes works made over the last ten years including two of Barba's cinematic large projections, which focus on natural landscapes and man-made interventions into the environment, as well as a group of small projector sculptures and wall works.
Rosa Barba (b. 1972, Sicily, Italy) lives and works in Berlin. Barba studied at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne and the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. Solo exhibitions include Kunsthaus Zürich, Switzerland; Bergen Kunsthall, Norway; Jeu de Paume, Paris; and Kunstverein Braunschweig, Germany among others. She was a resident artist at Artpace, San Antonio in 2014 and at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa in 2013.

Ornament & Illusion: Carlo Crivelli of Venice
|
| |
click image for more information
|
Ornament and Illusion is the first monographic exhibition dedicated to
Renaissance painter Carlo Crivelli in the United States. The Gardner's newly conserved Saint George Slaying the Dragon is the touchstone for a two-part installation. The first reunites four of six surviving panels from Crivelli's Porto San Giorgio altarpiece, of which the Gardner painting is a fragment. The second features 20 of Crivelli's most important works from Europe and the U.S. Together, they will introduce visitors to the artist's repertoire of dazzling pictorial effects, and refine each encounter with his bravura illusionism.

Quarterly Review - Accademia della Cucina Italiana
Osteria Nino - Burlington, Ma
 
Commitment and Research for the protection of the traditions of Italian cuisine
The Accademia Italiana della Cucina was born - naturally at the dinner table, as is often the case with important things - when a group of friends, united at dinner on the 29th of July of 1953, heard and agreed with the idea which Orio Vergani had long been nurturing: that of founding an academy with the task of safeguarding, together with the traditions of Italian cuisine, the culture of the civilisation of the table, lively and active expression of the entire Nation.
Review of Osteria Nino, located on 19 3rd Avenue, Burlington, MA
 Our delegation of 16 diners recently got together at Osteria Nino, located in Burlington, MA. The overall experience has been great. This osteria has been established only 5 months ago and its menu is massively influenced by the typical Roman dishes. Both the general manager and the culinary director of Osteria Nino have extensive work experience in Rome where they met and decided to create this idea of "typical Roman style dishes" around the Boston area. The service is fabulous while the actual size of the osteria is big enough to accommodate private and non-private functions. They have multiple wood ovens inside and outside (for both winter and summer wood oven recipes). We were particularly impressed by the quality of their "Primi", boasting delicious Roman style "tonnarelli cacio e pepe" or cavatelli all'amatriciana" or even " gnocchi al tartufo". "Porchetta" was also cooked to perfection. The pairing of exquisite wines with each dish was also superb. Finally, the "torta al cioccolato fondente" prepared without flour was simply to die for. Parking (plenty) and convenience (right off Rt. 128 North) make the location easy to access. Overall, our accademici found Osteria Nino and its employees a very good place to taste authentic Roman style recipes. For these reason we decided to award Osteria Nino with our unique sticker to be affixed on their entrance door.
