February Social Meeting

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGEThe February social meeting was our second collaboration with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura, which co-sponsored the presentation of the film Italo, the story of a stray dog that ingratiated himself into the hearts of the citizens of Scicli, a small city in Sicily. Attendance at this event set a new record—over 180 people, many of whom have never been to our socials in Friendship Heights. We look forward to continuing collaboration with the IIC, including another film on April 17, Tempo Instabile con Probabili Schiarite (unstable weather with possible clearing), and a live musical event planned for May.

We are pleased that our guest speaker on Sunday, March 13 will be Amy Riolo, award winning author, lecturer and culinary consultant, whose subject will be Puccini on a Plate: Opera’s Influence on Italian Cuisine (see page 3).

ICS members please note that the annual election of board members will be in April.

All readers of Poche Parole, not just ICS members, please review the material on page 7 regarding ICS scholarship awards. If you know someone who is well qualified for one of these awards please urge him or her to apply. The ICS scholarship awards program is an important part of our mission to preserve and promote Italian language and culture.

Finally, by now many of you may have heard that this year’s Gala will be held at the Embassy of Italy on Friday evening, May 20. The embassy is not only a very attractive place for the party, but also provides room for a larger fundraiser in support of our scholarship program.

I hope you can attend some of these springtime events.

MARCH 13, 2016 AT 3:30 PM:This glorious tour of Puccini’s most beloved operas takes us through a worldwide tour of sensory delights. We’ll use the settings of La Boheme, Madama Butterfly, Tosca, La Rondine, and Turandot to discuss opera’s impact on Italian cuisine. We’ll take a step back in time to a recently unified Italy where a vibrant form of music takes center stage, providing the perfect platform to understand Italian cuisine and culture.

“Terraferma”è un film del 2011 diretto da Emanuele Crialese.

Il film è una co-produzione italo-francese prodotta da Cattleya, con la collaborazione di Rai Cinema e il supporto del Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali e della Sicilia Film Commission[1]. È stato presentato in concorso alla 68ª Mostra internazionale d’arte cinematografica di Venezia, dove ha ricevuto il Premio speciale della giuria.

E` ambientato a Linosa, una piccola isola vicino a Lampedusa e parte della provincia di Agrigento, Sicilia, dove dei pescatori sono puniti per aver tratto in salvo da annegamento sicuro degli immigrati illegali e per averli lasciati disperdersi e nascondersi una volta a riva. Per le autorita` dell’isola questa questa loro azione significava favorire l’immigrazione illegale. Filippo, un giovane del posto, trovandosi in mare circondato da immigranti, decide di non lasciarli salire sulla sulla sua barca causando la morte di molti di loro. Verso la fine del film, Filippo cambia opinione: aiuta un’immigrante con un bimbo e un neonato a lasciare l’isola verso la “terra ferma” , il continente italiano, per ricongiungersi con il marito.

Gary Golstein del Los Angeles Times ha scritto ” La produzione ricca di tematiche ha come centro profonde riflessioni morali e psicologiche”. E` una storia di migrazioni, simile alle molte che vediamo quasi ogni giorno, reali e dell’anima, attraverso le quali i personaggi riscoprono se stessi e trovano il coraggio di cambiare.

MOVIES OF THE MONTH3/13/16

“Terraferma”is a 2011 Italian drama film directed by Emanuele Crialese.

The film premiered at the 68th Venice International Film Festival.

On Linosa, a tiny island near Lampedusa, and part of the province of Agrigento, Sicily, fishermen are punished for saving illegal immigrants (boat people) from the sea and, back on shore, letting them go, because this amounts to facilitating illegal immigration.

Therefore, young local Filippo does not allow them on his boat. Several die, and Filippo changes his mind about the matter: he helps a family of immigrant consisting of a mother, a little boy and a newborn baby, to leave to the Italian mainland.

Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times wrote, “The thematically rich production is grounded in deep moral and emotional reflection.” It is a story of migration, similar to the many we see at present almost every day, of the mind and the soul of the main characters who at the end of the movie discover their true nature and have the courage to change.

“Paddington”

Dopo che un terremoto mortale distrugge la sua casa nella foresta pluviale peruviana, un giovane orso (Ben Whishaw) si fa strada in Inghilterra alla ricerca di una nuova casa . L’orso , soprannominato “ Paddington “ dalla stazione ferroviaria di Londra, trova rifugio presso la famiglia di Henry (Hugh Bonneville) e Mary Brown (Sally Hawkins). Sebbene lo stupore di Paddington alla vita urbanaconquista l’affetto dei Browns, qualcun altro ha messo gli occhi su di lui: L’ impagliatrice Millicent Clyde (Nicole Kidman) ha progetti sull’ orso raro e sulla sua pelle. Please confirm your attendance to [email protected].

“Paddington”

After a deadly earthquake destroys his home in Peruvian rainforest, a young bear (Ben Whishaw) makes his way to England in search of a new home. The bear, dubbed “Paddington” for the london train station, finds shelter with the family of Henry (Hugh Bonneville) and Mary Brown (Sally Hawkins). Although Paddington’s amazement at urban living soon endears him to the Browns, someone else has her eye on him: Taxidermist Millicent Clyde (Nicole Kidman) has designs on the rare bear and his hide.

ITALODI ARRIGO MONGINI

ITALO was a “feel good” movie with both humorous and sad moments. It was the director Alessia Scarso’s first full length movie. The audience, at least 180 people, including about 10 children, seemed to enjoy it. We thank Angela Tangianu and the Istituto Italiano di Cultura for jointly sponsoring the event with ICS. The Friendship Heights Village Center proved well able to accommodate the audience. See the film summary in the February issue.

Last February 16th, some of our instructors had the opportunity to attend an elegant reception at Villa Firenze, the residence of the Italian Ambassador, in occasion of “Bilancio delle azioni di diffusione della lingua Italiana negli Stati Uniti. Nuove sfide.” It was also our opportunity to say goodbye and thank S.E. Ambasciatore Claudio Bisogniero, whose mandate in Washington, DC is about to end.

Last February 23 we started an after school program at the Seneca Elementary School, with 15 kids. Instructor Simona Gentile is enjoying this fulfilling experience of introducing 7-10 year old kids to our language.

Winter Term courses will end with the traditional pizza at Pizzeria Da Marco, March 19th, at 12:30 PM. We hope to see as many students (and non-students) as possible, as in past years. Pizzeria Da Marco will donate 15% of their sales to the Italian Language Program.

Looking ahead: Summer Camp registration is open! Maestra Cecilia is preparing new activities and creative art projects for your children.

For the “Book club” courses, you will have the chance to read La regola dell’Equilibrio, Carofiglio with Carlo Ellena, and Numero Zero, Umberto Eco, with Antonella Pellegrino. Maura Maffia will offer a creative writing course (Riscriviamo il finale – Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore) and Cooking Classes. Please visit our schedule, which includes all 62 courses.

LINGUA E CULTURA NEL MONDODI CRISTIANA FABIANI

ADDIO A UMBERTO ECO: SCRITTORE E STUDIOSO DI FAMA INTERNAZIONALE Umberto Eco, uno dei più grandi scrittori e studiosi italiani, fa-moso a livello nazionale ed internazionale, si è spento venerdi 19 febbraio nella sua abitazione di Milano di fronte al Castello sforzesco, all’età di 84 anni.

Umberto Eco è stato uno dei maggiori esponenti della vita cul-turale italiana fin dagli inizi degli anni ’60, ma a livello mondi-ale il suo nome è legato soprattutto al romanzo “Il nome della rosa”, pubblicato nel 1980 e diventato un bestseller mondiale con traduzioni in 43 lingue e circa 30 milioni di copie vendute. Da questo romanzo, un giallo ambientato nel Medioevo, è stato tratto il film omonimo di grande successo diretto da Jean-Jacques Annaud ed interpretato da Sean Connery.

Umberto Eco, però, non è stato soltanto uno scrittore, è stato an-che professore (grande esperto di semiologia), filosofo, collabo-ratore di diversi quotidiani, tra cui La Stampa ed il Corriere della sera, ed ha lavorato anche in televisione. Era inoltre membro di diverse accademie letterarie tra cui l’American Academy of Arts and Letters (membro onorario dal 1999).

Una caratteristica distintiva di Eco è stata sempre la curiosità. Si interessava a tutto, alla cultura “alta” accademico-universitaria come a quella “bassa” dei fumetti e della TV. E’ stato lui, il primo in Italia, a considerare letteratura anche il fumetto, e sempre lui ad analizzare con la stessa serietà l’opera di San Tommaso (vedasi “Il problema estetico di San Tommaso”, sua prima opera pubbli-cata nel 1956) ed il conduttore televisivo Mike Bongiorno, nel saggio “Fenomenologia di Mike Bongiorno”.

Oltre a “Il nome della Rosa”, che ha vinto il premio Strega nel 1981 ed ha avuto molti riconoscimenti a livello internazionale, Umberto Eco ha scritto diversi altri romanzi: “Il pendolo di Fou-cault” (1988), che porta il lettore alla ricerca di simboli enigmati-ci e profetici nel mondo dei Templari, “L’isola del giorno prima” (1994), “Baudolino” (2000), “La misteriosa fiamma della regina Loana” (2004), “Il cimitero di Praga” (2010), sull’antisemitismo, ed il suo ultimo libro “Numero zero” (2015), una critica del gior-nalismo contemporaneo.

GOODBYE TO UMBERTO ECO, BEST-SELLING WRITER AND SCHOLARUmberto Eco, best-selling Italian writer and scholar, died on Friday February 19th at his home in Milan facing the Castello sforzesco, one of the city landmarks. He was 84.

Umberto Eco was one of the main representatives of Italian cultural life of the last 50 years and became internationally known for his novel “The Name of the Rose”. Published in 1980, the book quickly became a best-seller with about 30 million copies sold in 43 languages. From this thriller, which takes place in the Middle Ages, came the movie of the same title directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud and interpreted by Sean Connery.

But Umberto Eco was not only a writer, he was also a professor (expert in semiotics, the science of interpreting cultures through their signs and symbols), philosopher, columnist of some of the main Italian Newspapers, like Il Corriere della Sera, and also worked in TV. He was one of the few foreigners to be an Honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters since 1999.

One of Eco’s peculiar characteristics was his curiosity. He was just as interested in comic books and TV as he was in academics. He was the first in Italy to consider comics as literature. He analyzed the work of St. Thomas Aquinas, one of the most influential medieval theologians, and the TV anchor Mike Bongiorno, with the same rigor.

Besides “The Name of the Rose“, that won him the highest Italian literary award “Premio Strega” and several international recognitions, Eco wrote other novels including: Foucault’s Pendulum” (1988), “The Island of the Day Before” (1994), The Prague Cemetery (2010) and his latest book Numero zero (2015), a media satire.
