SOCIAL MEETINGS/EVENT OVERVIEW
Social meetings take place on the third Sunday of the month, September through May, at the Friendship Heights
Village Center: 4433 South Park Avenue, Chevy Chase, MD (please see map on back cover)
March 13:
The Italian Cultural Society presents Puccini on a Plate: Opera’s Influence on Italian Cuisine (see page 3).
Please note this event is the second Sunday of the month and starts at 3:30 PM (not 3:00 PM).
Please confirm your attendance to [email protected].
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
The 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.
February Social Meeting
I hope you can attend some of these springtime events.

PUCCINI ON A PLATE: OPERA’S INFLUENCE ON ITALIAN CUISINE
DI AMY RIOLO
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.

KIDS MOVIE
“Paddington”
“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].
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.
ADULT MOVIE
“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.
“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.

ITALO
DI 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.

LINGUA E CULTURA NEL MONDO
DI CRISTIANA FABIANI
ADDIO A UMBERTO ECO: SCRITTORE E STUDIOSO DI FAMA
INTERNAZIONALE
Umberto Eco, uno dei più grandi scrittori e studiosi italiani, famoso 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 culturale italiana fin dagli inizi degli anni ’60, ma a livello mondiale 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 anche professore (grande esperto di semiologia), filosofo, collaboratore 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 pubblicata 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 Foucault” (1988), che porta il lettore alla ricerca di simboli enigmatici 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 giornalismo contemporaneo.
GOODBYE TO UMBERTO ECO, BEST-SELLING WRITER AND
SCHOLAR
Umberto 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.
