(The New) NYC: Perpetually a Work in Progress, But We Rise to the Challenge

Over these months I have had long and serious thoughts about the current state of our (beloved) city, and have come to realize that we are presently shrouded in a veil of sadness. As an optimist, I am hopeful that at some point we will regain our status and return to the vibrant and electrifying city that we are loved for. And without the need to add sorrow to our universal situation, suffice to say, the streets are unrecognizable, the empty store-fronts and ‘out of business’ signs devastating.

The Show Must Go On… Line! NYC Theaters at the Time of Coronavirus

It’s the second month of lockdown here in New York. The State of New York, starting May 15, will reopen low risk activities but only in the upstate regions. NYC will remain locked down, with only essential activities working and everything related to show business suspended. Cinemas, theaters, pubs, arenas, all gathering locations for cultural/entertainment […]

NYC deserta? Le foto che hanno catturato un momento storico del Covid-19

New York ai tempi della pandemia si presenta desolata, e la normalità della vita quotidiana fagocitata dal virus. Non c’é altro modo per descriverla. I ritmi frenetici di vita che conducevamo prima dell’epidemia sono stati stravolti. Costretti a stare in casa volenti o nolenti, a svolgere solo le funzioni dei bisogni primari dell’esistenza– oltre a […]

Dr. Daiana Voiculescu on the Front Line in NYC: Common Sense Against Covid-19

Every day is difficult, because every day I take care of intubated critically ill patients. I hold their heads in my hands, I touch their faces, their eyes, their hair. Men or women, Hispanic, Caucasian, black, young or old, all are innocent, precious people struggling for their lives. I tell them that everything will be OK, but I am not sure they can hear me.

On 9/11 We Had the Comfort of Friends, During Coronavirus, We Suffer in Isolation

I am beginning to contemplate the meaning of returning to life. What lessons will we store for the future, and how long will we remain grateful that we survived this crisis? My optimism overrides fears, and I believe that before long we will have the opportunity to clean our slates, and perhaps refresh the ‘start’ button.

My Two Favorite Places, New York and Italy, Touched by the Coronavirus Pandemic

In today’s artificial society, while nature is gradually vanishing, we are also longing for more humanity. What is the point of art if it’s not to help us lead better lives, to give us hope and to remind us that we are part of the same fabric? The values that we have promulgated since the post-war period and the excessive consumption contributed to the destruction of our beautiful planet.

Homeless and Freezing in the NYC Winter: Can We Relate From Our Cozy Down Quilts?

The holiday season is an annual reminder of the kindness of strangers. When I moved uptown in the early ‘90’s, and before the city had made a concerted effort to find shelter for the many homeless men and women, a man who had most obviously suffered great loss in the course of his life sat […]

Ellis Island: Finally Lady Liberty Meets her Italian Twin “Libertà della Poesia”

Bartholdi and Fedi never met, but were both stirred by the same idea. After many emails, transatlantic visits and research, the U.S. National Parks Service and the Opera di Santa Croce in Florence, Italy succeeded in producing this long-awaited exhibit with the help of several other partners. The exhibit runs from October 18th through April 26th, 2020, and is the third ever done on the Statue of Liberty. “We felt like this was an important exhibit,” said Diana Pardue, Director of Museum Services at Ellis Island.

NIAF Denounces: Mother Cabrini #1 Choice, Yet Statue to Her Denied in NYC

“Mother Cabrini’s contribution to New York City and her legacy are indisputable. The services she provided to poor and vulnerable Italian immigrants, most of them women, should not be ignored,” said NIAF Chair Patricia de Stacy Harrison. “On behalf of the National Italian American Foundation, we support Mother Cabrini’s life and works and believe that she should have her own honorary statue in the city.”

That First-baby Experience Can Be Scary! So Much to Know, so Many Questions!

When I became a mom, at age 32, I felt deeply alone. My husband had gone back to work, my mom had left, urging me with a, “Honey, you need to bond alone with your baby”. What I call “The United States of My Trusted Moms”, on line groups going through a similar experience, will abolish any distance, and help you overcome any anxiety of being left alone, unheard and isolated.
