NINE AWARDS PRIZES AT CASIT
![](http://sedi2.esteri.it/sitiweb/Boston/Giugno2016/scuole/CASIT_logo.png) Each year for Italian Heritage Month C.A.S.IT. sponsors a project for students in grades 1 through 12 and awards prizes at the Festa della Repubblica
held at Columbus Park. This year nine students won for their creation of a children's book in Italian. Entries were done by individual students, groups, and whole classes. To judge the entries, C.A.S.IT. invited a small group of Italian speakers - community members, teachers, and representatives of various Italian organizations - to assist with reviewing the entries and selecting winners. This project is made possible by the patronage of teachers of Italian, both within and outside of the C.A.S.IT. organization. Prizes are provided by C.A.S.IT. and through the generosity of the Italian-American Heritage Month Committee, Sons of Italy, and the Dante Alighieri Society.
THE END OF THE YEAR RECITAL AT PILC
![](http://sedi2.esteri.it/sitiweb/Boston/Giugno2016/scuole/fotoPILC.jpg) The end of the year recital at the Pirandello Italian Language Center (PILC) was a great success. After 43 years ,Stefano Marchese has taken over as Director. He proposed, along with a whole new staff, a recital based on the notorious "Carosello" with a mixture of comic sketches, poems, songs, and nursery rhymes. In fact, the students acted out some of the most famous scenes in Italian television. At the conclusion of the event the adult students described what the PILC is to them in "La Pirandello �" which brought out smiles and applause from the audience. Classes will resume with registration on Saturday, September 10, 2016 starting at 10am. "We are working on many new activities for next year" says the director Stefano Marchese. "The classes will run an extra 15 minutes per lesson, from 10am-12:15pm, there will be more field trips and other extracurricular activities. The classes will be more solidly structured to increase learning and retention". All in all, the Pirandello Italian Language Center seems to have truly been taken in a new and exciting direction. MORE THAN $10.000 TO SUPPORT AP PROGRAM AND ITALIAN CLASSES Raised $5000 to support AP Italian Program thanks to the commitment of COMITES that, on this occasion, has opened a fundraising activity. The FAA/USA (Federazione delle Associazioni Abruzzesi) has replied positively this year, too. Gizio's, Paesani d'Italia's and Aprutium's contributions have made the AP program even stronger. An important contribution has also come from the Federazione Associazioni Italiane. A special thank-you to all the Associations and in particular to Comites (Presidente Maurizio Pasquale and Andrea Boggio, charged with the Italian language and culture), for the exciting initiative that we hope will become a regular appointment for the Italian community. Other $2,500 have been raised thanks to the Concert The Classic, promoted by the Grand Lodge of MA O.S.I.A. in collaboration with the Consulate General of Italy in Boston, under Lino Rullo's careful direction that made possible the musicians arrival from Italy, thus offering an unforgettable Italian music evening.

We are pleased to have Laura Weinstein, the Ananda Coomaraswamy Curator of South Asian and Islamic Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, give us a lecture on the exhibit prior to the viewing.
Megacities Asia, the largest contemporary exhibition ever organized at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), invites visitors to walk under, through, along, around or inside large-scale sculptures and installations that examine issues of urbanization. Eleven artists offer 19 works created from accumulations of objects found in their home "megacities"-those with populations of 10 million or more-in China, India and Korea, which have seen unprecedented development over the past 50 years. On view from April 3-July 17, Megacities Asia extends beyond the MFA's Ann and Graham Gund Gallery into other exhibition and public spaces, onto the Museum's front lawn and into the city beyond, with a sculpture presented in Marketplace Center near Faneuil Hall.

Accademia della Cucina Italiana
Commitment and Research for the protection of the traditions of Italian cuisine
![](http://www.accademiaitalianacucina.it/sites/all/themes/nevia/images/accademia/nevia_logo_accademia.png) Goethe disse "dimmi con chi vai e ti diro chi sei, e se so di cosa ti occupi sapro che cosa vuoi diventare".
L'Accademia Italiana della Cucina, ha lo scopo di identificare ristoranti italiani e di accertarne la qualita.
La qualita del cibo non puo essere isolata dalla qualita dell'ambiente, dal servizio, dalla conoscenza e gentilezza del personale. In sintesi, la vera esperienza italiana a tavola composta da tutti quegli elementi che contribuiscono a rendere la colazione un evento culturale e non una attivita mangiereccia, lo scopo non e' di sfamarsi bensi di ricordare odori e sapori autentici di una storia millenaria se pure in evoluzione. Gli Accademici condividono l'amore per la buona tavola e per la sana conversazione, l'Accademia riprende il pensiero di Goethe almeno nella sua prima parte tanto da celebrare lo stare insieme e nutrirne insegnamento. Al ristoratore, dedichiamo la seconda parte del pensiero di Goethe pertanto ci poniamo la domanda - di cosa si occupa principalmente il cuoco? Se si occupa della cucina allora l'amore per gli ingredienti e come innovarli rispettando la storia e la classicita della cucina Italiana, diventa l'attivita primaria. Tutto il resto e' business o peggio fuffa. I cuochi nel Medioevo erano organizzati e rappresentavano la propria gerarchia, con Enrico IV di Francia la gerarchia era stata suddivisa in aree di competenza con i "maestri chef, cuochi e porte chapes" dedicati a organizzare pranzi di nozze. Questi chef, alla fine del loro apprendistato avevano il compito di offrire 6 libbre di carne o pesce a ciascun membro della Confraternita e riceverne la critica. L' Accademia Italiana della Cucina a Boston ha visitato ogni tipo di ristorante "italiano" e piu di recente "Sportello" ristorante casual firmato Barbara Lynch su Congress Street. La pasta alla Carbonara risulta la pietanza piu falsificata all'estero e Sportello non ha fatto eccezione usando la pancetta al posto del guanciale e il parmiggiano al posto del pecorino, i rigatoni un disturbo alla vista. Tutti ricordiamo che la Carbonara nasce durante la seconda guerra mondiale come evoluzione alla pasta "Cacio e Pepe" propria del Lazio quindi in assenza di parmiggiano. Lo Stracotto di manzo e polentina (polenta) puo solo essere Piacentino altrimenti diventa un pezzo di manzo stracotto e questa seconda versione e' piu vicina al piatto offerto dalla Signora Lynch. La torta con fragole e mascarpone e' una ricetta della cucina italiana moderna ma la nostra attenzione era rivolta al "mascarpone" formaggio lombardo di latte vaccino acidificato. Il nome deriva da una espressione utilizzata nel '200 da un nobile spagnolo che assaggiandolo disse "Mas que bueno" cioe...piu che buono! La nostra tavola accademica ha invece apprezzato le fragole laddove non toccassero il formaggio dal gusto non definito e a noi ignoto. Per chiunque volesse far visita a Sportello, limitatevi agli antipasti buoni, semplici creativi. Il fiore all'occhiello le prugne ripiene e brindate con vini italiani di grande prestigio...quelli ancora non riescono a falsificarli in nome della creativita.
