originates in Medieval manuscripts from the 13th century or earlier.

WHAT IS OPERA?
Opera is a story told through music. The music is accompanied by an
orchestra. Opera singers have a special timbre (colour or quality) to their
voices that makes them able to project their voices over an orchestra. They
do not use microphones!
Opera began in Italy when a group of artists formed a group called the
Florentine Camerata. Over the last few centuries, opera has evolved
throughout the world. It is probably so popular and exciting because it is an
art form that combines visual art (sets, costumes), drama (the story, acting),
dance (sometimes even a full ballet) and music (the orchestra, the singing).
Opera stories are based on myths, folktales, great works of literature, biblical
stories, fantasy, and real-life stories. Operas are written in many languages;
the most popular are Italian, German and French. Operas are also written in
English, Czech, Russian, and Mandarin Chinese.
Singers who perform in operas have different voice types. For women, these
types are Soprano (high), Mezzo-soprano (medium), and Contralto (low). For
men, Tenor (high), Baritone (medium), and Bass (low) are the names of
voice types.
Opera is special because it takes so many people to make it work. All of
these elements put together make opera a spectacle for your eyes AND ears.
Now that you know what opera is, let’s find out more about Così fan tutte!

CONCLUSIONI
 Gli insegnanti concordano che la
scelta dei titoli porterà
inevitabilmente i ragazzi a riflettere
sul tema
“ Cosa presta l’Italiano oggi alle
altre lingue??? Cosa ha prestato
in passato?...Perchè?”
Temi che nuovamente metteranno in
relazione il nesso LINGUA/CULTURA

titoli anche parte degli articoli
 Di seguito un breve esempio

The Sicilian Mafia: a state
within the state. From: The
Economist (US)
The mafia exists much like a separate state within Italy,
and its deeply rooted influence will make the government
crusade a formidable task. The new anti-mafia laws
passed by the Parliament are strong beginning for
uprooting the mafia.
Italian magistrates and police have at last dealt the
Mafia some hard blows. But this syndicate of men of
dishonour is deep-rooted and far from beaten
THE trouble with the Sicilian Mafia is that it is not like
the movies. It is worse. Unlike the characters in "The
Godfather", Sicily's real mafiosi are not just gangsters,
even murderous gangsters, ...

Italy and the Mafia Sicilian vespers
From The Economist
A wave of arrests hits the Italian Mafia
Lo Presti under arrest
HE WAS found dead, hanging by his belt in Palermo’s
Pagliarelli jail. The apparent suicide of a 52-year-old
Sicilian, Gaetano Lo Presti, on December 16th put a grisly
end to what investigators claimed was a drive by the
Sicilian Mafia to give itself a new leadership. Mr Lo
Presti was among 89 alleged mobsters detained in one of
the biggest-ever police operations in Sicily. Around 1,200
semi-militarised Carabinieri were deployed in raids
there and (as an indication of Cosa Nostra’s long reach)
in placid Tuscany. Only five of those wanted by the police
eluded capture. “Cosa Nostra is in evident crisis,”
exulted Italy’s chief anti-Mafia prosecutor, Piero Grasso.
“It cannot manage to reorganise itself.”
