Di particolare interesse per tutti i maker (e non solo), l'ospite del prossimo Aperitivo Scientifico: Federico Musto, CEO di Arduino srl, ci illustrer� la propria esperienza professionale e la sua visione in merito agli sviluppi della nota scheda elettronica italiana. Tra gli eventi teatrali, vi segnalo la nuova rappresentazione in lingua inglese dell'opera Mistero Buffo del premio Nobel Dario Fo, in scena dal 18 al 26 marzo presso il Modern Theater.
Colgo infine l'occasione per informare tutti gli elettori italiani qui residenti che il 17 aprile 2016 si terr� il Referendum abrogativo della norma che regola i permessi e le concessioni a esplorazioni e trivellazioni dei giacimenti di idrocarburi entro dodici miglia dalla costa. Come di consueto, tutti gli elettori residenti all'estero ed iscritti all'AIRE (Anagrafe degli Italiani Residenti all'Estero) riceveranno il plico elettorale direttamente al loro domicilio.
Un cordiale saluto e buona lettura a tutti!
Nicola De Santis

Dear Italians and friends of Italy,
This month's newsletter is rich of events with a common denominator: our beautiful country and its culture, artists, composers and scientists.
In particular I would like to point out the "conversation with Dacia Maraini" which will take place on March 4th at the Dante Alighieri in Cambridge where we will have the chance to discuss, among other things, her new book. In addition, the next guest for our Aperitivo Scientifico will be Federico Musto CEO of Arduino srl who will enlighten us about his own professional experience and his vision regarding the developments of the Italian electronic board. Among the theatrical events I would like to bring your attention to the representation in English of the opera Mistero Buffo by Nobel Price Dario Fo, from March 18th to 26th at the Modern Theater.
I also want to take this opportunity to inform all the Italians voters residing here that on April 17th 2016 we will have the Referendum about the repel of the law regulating the permits and concessions about exploring and drilling oil and gas within 12 miles from the coast. As usual all the voters residing abroad and registered at the AIRE (Vital Records of Italians residing abroad) will receive their electoral ballot directly at home.
Greetings and happy reading to all!
Nicola De Santis

 Don't have an Italian AP course in your school?
We are looking for 10 students that are interested in
our Italian online AP Course FOR FREE !
We are looking for 10 students that want to take the Italian AP Exam next may 2016 and don't have an Italian AP course in their school. We are offering you a FREE online Italian AP Course
You put the commitment and we'll give you the course for free!!
Under the auspices of the Italian Consulate in Boston, COMITES are seeking support in a joint effort to expand the offering of AP-level courses in Italian language and culture in high schools throughout New England. AP (or Advanced Placement) are courses that reward students and schools that offer more advanced programs in Italian and allow students to earn college credits while in high school. Students who successfully pass an AP class in Italian and 2 more in a different discipline can also enroll in Italian universities without further evidence of language skills.
The idea now is spreading:
Caff� Italiano is a conversation group (started at the North Eastern University) taking place during the Fall and
Spring semesters where you can practice speaking, meet
new friends, learn about Italian culture, playing games, while drinking a real Italian espresso or cappuccino! The idea now is spreading.
Where you can find Caffe' Italiano - conversation: Join CAFFE' ITALIANO!
relaxing gathering for Colleges students/adults ISL learners from elementary to advanced level having a coffee together, chatting and improving own Italian no registration needed: just come when you can. It's Free!

Mistero Buffo by Dario Fo
|
| | click on image for more info |
Mistero Buffo, by Italian Nobel Laureate Dario Fo, revives the Medieval Mystery Play, with side-splitting modern interpretations of stories from the Gospels. But these "mysteries" turn these familiar tales upside down.
A series of virtuoso solo turns, the pieces "flip the script" on conventional morality and sanctimony, revealing the all too common hypocrisy of organized religion, revealing where true Christian values lie in the hearts of ordinary people. It's sometimes shocking, provocative, and relentlessly hilarious.
The cast comprises some of the most celebrated actors in the Boston area: Remo Airaldi, Benjamin Evett, and Debra Wise. It's directed by prize-winning director Bob Scanlan, who also created this original American translation, which captures the joy, fun, and wicked humor of the original.
The production is part of a Festival celebrating the 90th birthday of Dario Fo. Don't miss this comic tour de force.

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.
