Cari italiani e cari amici dell'Italia,
l'estate � finalmente arrivata anche nel New England e se molti di voi sono gi� in Italia o si apprestano a partire, sono sicuro che coloro che resteranno non mancheranno di trovare anche quest'anno diverse occasioni per sentirsi pi� vicini al nostro Bel Paese!
Tra i prossimi eventi segnalo la cerimonia di premiazione delle quarta edizione del PIB - Scuola di Vela Mascalzone Latino Sailing championship, campionato di vela per ragazzi organizzato insieme con la Scuola di Vela "Mascalzone Latino" di Vincenzo Onorato, che si terr� domani presso il Courageous Sailing Center di Boston.
Per gli amanti dell'arte, da non perdere la mostra sui Della Robbia " Sculpting with Color in Renaissance Florence" che aprir� al MFA il 9 agosto e nella quale potremmo ammirare circa 50 opere della famosa famiglia rinascimentale inventori della tecnica della scultura in terracotta invetriata, splendido connubio tra genio artistico, creativit� e attenta conoscenza dei materiali e delle tecniche di lavorazione.
Complimenti, infine, al Prof. Bruno Coppi, docente emerito di Fisica al MIT, per l'attribuzione da parte dell'Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei del Premio "Antonio Feltrinelli", quest'anno destinato alla Chimica e alla Fisica. L'annuncio � stato dato in occasione dell'adunanza solenne dell'Accademia tenutasi lo scorso 10 giugno mentre il formale conferimento avr� luogo nel novembre prossimo.
Buona lettura e buona estate a tutti!
Nicola De Santis

Fellow Italians and dear friends of Italy,

Art lovers should not miss the exhibition on Della Robbia "Sculpting with Color in Renaissance Florence" which will open at the Museum of Fine Arts on August 9th where you will be able to admire about 50 works of the famous renaissance family, inventor of the tecnique for glazed terracotta sculpture, a wonderful combination of artistic genius, creativity and skillful knowledge of materials and techniques.
Finally congratulations to Prof. Bruno Coppi, Professor Emeritus of Physics at MIT for the award "Antonio Feltrinelli" conferred to him by the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, this year designated to Chemistry and Physics. The announcement was made at the Academy solemn assembly on June 10th while the formal award ceremony will take place next November.
Happy reading and have a great summer everyone!

THE END OF THE YEAR RECITAL AT PILC
 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.

Della Robbia - Sculpting with Color in Renaissance Florence
|
| |
click image for more info
|
Above: Andrea della Robbia, Prudence (detail), about 1475. Glazed terracotta. Lent by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Purchase, Joseph Pulitzer Bequest, 1921.
Celebrate the beauty and liveliness of Della Robbia sculptures.
In the 15th century, Luca della Robbia (1399/1400-1482) invented a glazing technique for sculpture characterized by brilliant opaque whites and deep cerulean blues. Luca shared the secrets of his technique with his nephew and principal collaborator Andrea della Robbia, who in turn passed them on to his sons Giovanni, Luca the Younger, Marco, Francesco, and Girolamo. The Della Robbia family workshop flourished in Florence for about a century, producing expressive artworks for all spheres of life. Portraying both sacred and secular themes, it gained a strong presence in public spaces-from street corners to churches-and private homes. Production of sculpture using this technique lasted only about a century before its secrets were lost. Some of the most familiar images today of Renaissance Italy, Della Robbia sculptures have retained their original color and shine over the centuries.
"Della Robbia: Sculpting with Color in Renaissance Florence" presents these works as powerful, expressive examples of the best of Italian Renaissance art. The exhibition features about 50 objects, mostly from American collections but including six important loans from Italy, never seen in the US before. The Visitation (about 1445) from the church of San Giovanni Fuorcivitas in Pistoia and the Brooklyn Museum's newly restored Resurrection of Christ (about 1520-24) travel to Boston along with a trio of nearly life-size works from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence and a private collection. The exhibition of glazed terracotta Renaissance works by the Della Robbia and rival workshops spans a variety of formats-Madonna and Child reliefs, small- and large-scale figures, narrative reliefs, coats-of-arms, and still-life compositions-that demonstrate the range and visual impact of the groundbreaking Della Robbia glazing technique.

Accademia della Cucina Italiana
Commitment and Research for the protection of the traditions of Italian cuisine
 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.
