“Eye-Centricity” at the Calandra Institute Shows Seeing Really is Believing

On April 26th-27th, the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute of the City University of New York held their annual international conference to explore the images that have been evocative of Italy for decades, even centuries, and to define ideas like what it means to be an Italian woman.

Looking for “Italia” in Little Italies. Just How “Italian” Are Italian-Americans?

Even when the transplantation is by choice, it must involve some level of cultural compromise. The arrogance, then, of those who consider that anything less than full Italian authenticity cannot exist outside of Italy – as if some such thing could exist even inside of today’s multicultural Italy – is to be taken with skepticism

Le Madri, the Backbone of Italy

Mothers rule in Italy. Hardworking, traditional, informed as much in politics as in how to slaughter a chicken and get it to the table, I have enormous respect and admiration for the three mothers I've gotten to know in our town in Le Marche.

Metti un sociologo italiano in America

Un italiano in America non passa mai inosservato e se l’altro lo sa, succede sempre qualcosa di inaspettato ed effervescente; meglio divertirsi e lasciarsi trasportare da quello che accade intorno, a maggior ragione se si è un sociologo italiano fuori dall’Italia

Finding the Helpfulness of Italians at the Bank

Italians don’t just give you advice or a hand: they genuinely do their best to solve your problem. Graziella, an employee of my bank in Le Marche, epitomizes this typically Italian helpfulness.
