Summer 2010 1ldquoIf people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery it wouldnrsquot seem wonderful at allrdquo Michelangelo

n one of his biggest hits Frank Sinatra sang ldquoIf I can make it there I can make it anywhererdquo He was referring of course to New York and like it or not this verse rings true It is certainly right on when it comes to opera singers and the Metropolitan Opera A vocal artistrsquos reacutesumeacute that includes ldquoper-formed such-and-such at the Metrdquo tells the reader that this singer has risen to the very top of his or her profession Thatrsquos because the Met is considered the ldquoA Number Onerdquo opera company in the world and as ldquoKing of the Hillrdquo it pays its singers more than any other Two years ago when we profiled Vit-torio Grigolo in Amici Journal he was just on the threshold of opera stardom In the 2010-11 season however he will sing at the Met No wonder he hap-pily reports ldquoI am booked solid at the major houses for the next four yearsrdquo Not only has Grigolo been hired by the Met for the upcoming season but he has been chosen to make his New York debut in the opening performance

of the Franco Zefirelli pro-duction of Puccinirsquos La bo-hegraveme The opera is slated for seventeen performances and it is a nod to his prowess that Grigolo opens the production and sings more performances than any of the four tenors cast in the role of Rodolfo The companyrsquos management well aware that a good part of its audience comes from every corner of the globe to view the best opera that mon-ey can buy schedules La bo-hegraveme every season because it is currently the most popular piece in the repertoire One of

the reasons why this opera is so appealing is its bravura and devilishly difficult tenor part The traditional interpretation of the part by vocally well equipped tenors takes the first act line up to several B naturals and a couple of high Cs Others transpose the part down a tad for comfort and security Grigolo takes the high road which we may expect from a man who has been described by Opera News as a ldquotenor of stunning power with a metallic and iridescent upper registerrdquo and one who possesses ldquostar qualityrdquo Vittorio says matter-of-factly ldquoI sing one high C in the aria [ldquoChe gelida maninardquo] and the one at the end of the act [on the last ldquoamorrdquo instead of Puccinirsquos E natural favored by purists]rdquo Recently Vittorio Grigolorsquos career took another surprising turn when he signed a contract with Sony ldquoto cut six CDsrdquo According to Grigolo ldquoI took a lot of time to evaluate the offer Sony doesnrsquot have many other opera singersI signed right after Christmasrdquo It is again a sign of Vittoriorsquos remarkable talent that Sony Entertainment should choose him as one of their few opera record-ing artists The company is well known for its jazz and pop giants that include Louis Armstrong Miles Davis Bob Dylan Duke Ellington and Aretha Franklin but up until now has not taken much of a chance on opera distributing the record-ings of mostly established stars like Placido Domingo and Renee Fleming Sony is hedging its bet however if only slightly by man-dating that one of the six albums that Grigolo records will be a pop CD Vittorio understands this and recognizes ldquothe media power of poprdquo as a means to reinforce his visibility And besides the young tenor yearns ldquoto communicate with people my agerdquo and nowadays who can deny that pop music will accomplish this better than opera

ldquoI need challengesrdquo Vittorio as-serts and as any opera singer can attest to there is no shortage of these As of this writ-ing he is responding to one rehearsing for his Covent Garden debut as Des Grieux in Massenetrsquos Manon with conductor Antonio Pappano who Grigolo considers ldquoan expert in French operardquo In June he will be making a movie of Rigoletto with Placido Domingo in Mantova Over the past couple of years he has performed a number of top tenor roles under the batons of such luminaries as Zubin Mehta and Lorin Maazel who amused Grigolo by ldquosinging all the roles in Faustrdquo He found the role of Hoffman in Offenbachrsquos five-act marathon more of an acting than a singing challenge ldquoHererdquo relates Vittorio ldquoit is more action involving emotions and more important to actrdquo Giv-en that the critics almost always note the tenorrsquos strong dramatic instincts we may assume that this challenge was also faced successfully One challenge that will have to go unanswered for now is Zefirellirsquos first production of Lrsquoelisir drsquoamore which the venerable director had wanted to design be-cause of his appreciation for Vittoriorsquos art-istry ldquoFranco was very sickrdquo explains Grigolo ldquowersquoll just have to wait for the right timerdquo Vittoriorsquos performance repertory already includes many of the greatest Ital-ian and French roles Although he has not yet sung Manrico in Il trovatore on stage since the last time we spoke with him ldquoI recorded lsquoAh si ben miorsquo and the cabaletta lsquoDi quella pirarsquordquo Whether performing on stage or recording Grigolo is establishing ties with colleagues who will work with him throughout his career Perhaps because he feels a certain kinship with younger singers who show the kind of promise that he did before the Met casting and Sony signing Vittorio especially enjoys working with up and

coming leading ladies ldquoI like sing-ing with Carmen Giannattasiordquo he says He was also well pleased with his recent collaboration with Sondra Radvanovsky (profiled in the last issue of our magazine) in Donizettirsquos Lucrezia Borgia Aside from his Met ap-pearances in October of this year American opera fans will have to wait to see Grigolo in action ldquoThe only other Ameri-can performance I have booked

for this year is a concert in Los Angelesrdquo At least this will keep him close to home which is now Zurich a cen-tralized location that makes sense as he crisscrosses the continent going from stage to stage One European country however that he will not be working in very much for a while is Italy ldquoIt is very sadrdquo says Grigolo referring to the re-cent austerity measures passed by the government which has triggered a series of wildcat strikes by musicians effectively shutting down most Italian opera houses Born in Arezzo Vittorio Grigolo loves to visit his very proud mother in Rome She has been a very influential force in his career especially at the very beginning Now she has turned her house into a memorial for her son ldquoItrsquos like a museumrdquo Vittorio tells us ldquoshe has everything thererdquo I wonder if she has those sunglasses the ones she went to repair when Vittorio was a boy When they went to the optometrist to get them fixed singing could be heard coming from the base-ment Someone down there was singing the Schubert ldquoAve Mariardquo Uncontrollably excited the boy ran down the steps and joined in the singing It turned out that the basement singer was the opticianrsquos father who was so impressed by Vittoriorsquos musi-cality that he arranged for the lad to audition for the Sistine Chapel Choir This ven-erable organization whose roots go back over a thousand years accepted Vittorio as a singer and enrolled him in the prestigious Scuola Puerorum where he studied voice for five years ldquoIt was thererdquo Grigolo recalls ldquothat I felt that I was going to be somebodyrdquo Come this October 16th this somebody will be singing at the Met

San Diegorsquos

Set the Scene for an Authentic Sicilian American Wedding

By Andrew Guzaldo

The Sicilian Festival in Little Italy brought to life a favorite Italian expression La Forza del Destino ldquothe power of faterdquo Such is the power that made this yearrsquos 17th annual Sicilian Festival a backdrop for a genuine Si-cilian-style wedding between two newcomers to San Di-ego Diana Kolman and An-tonino Tripoli

The loving couple was married on stage in a civil ceremony invited by the Si-cilian community of San Di-ego to be real live players in a fairy-tale wedding

ldquoIf itrsquos a wedding then everyone is family ndash thatrsquos what wersquore going to cele-braterdquo says Giovanna DiBona one of the Sicilian Festival organizers who was recently contacted by the couple The story begins with Diana Kolman a Tampa native and graduate of the University of South Florida with a BA in nursing and psychology whose interest in learning foreign languages led her to spend the summer of 2009 in Italy with the goal of studying Italian Enter La Forza del Destino when Diana met the love of her life Antonino Tripoli under the Italian sun He was born and raised in Bagheria in the province of Palermo Sicily and graduated from the College of Economics in Pesaro Italy Soon their love demanded frustrating back and forth trips between the US and Italy As the summer of 2009 ended Diana had to return to the States Antonino followed Diana to Florida in October and remained until December Then in January Diana returned to Italy with hopes of having her nursing license recognized there After three months the process was still pending and she again was forced to return to the US At that point Diana and Antonino decided that it was time to dream and live an adventure together They decided to leave everything in Italy and Florida and drive to San Diego Without much money they didnrsquot know a soul have jobs or a place to live After arriving in San Diego Antonino proposed to Diana They planned to have a simple ceremony at the County Courthouse but realized that they wouldnrsquot have anyone to serve as their witnesses as they knew not one person in San Diego

La Forza del Destino soon got an online boost

Dianarsquos mother wisely suggested Diana contact the Italian community in San Diego to gather referrals and new acquaintances After a few clicks of the mouse Diana found the Sicilian Festival web site and Facebook page and emailed When Giovanna DiBona learned of their wedding plans she invited them to exchange their vows at the Sicilian Festival

The entire Sicilian community in San Diego wel-comed Diana and Antonino with open arms Their touching ceremony in both Italian and English was followed by a re-ception Sicilian-style orchestrated by the San Diego-based Roman Holiday Ensemble (ironically also the creator of the nationally acclaimed Italian Wedding CD) The band played all the traditional dances as well as the tarantella and a fabulous time was had by allhellipin fact the audience for this event was the largest ever seen in the history of the festival Log on to the Sicilian Festival FACEBOOK page from the web site at wwwsicilianfestacom for photos and videos of Diana and Antonino and this magical culmina-tion of Amore Sicilian-style

Antonino and Diana Tripoli exchanged their mar-riage vows at the 17th annual Sicilian Festival

Body Gestures the Good the Bad and the Italian

Italian Body Language Sitting with legs crossed at the ankle demonstrates a respect for the traditional rules of etiquette In the business world a man or woman stroking their chin indicates indecisiveness Pinching the bridge of your nose signifies negative evaluation Rubbing hour hands is a sign of antici-pation while resting your check in your palm casts an image of thought-fulness and evaluation Cross your arms on your chest and you instantly communicate defensiveness Using our hands to express us is a great communicator but using the wrong hand gesture can also be embarrassing After telling the press he was an expert in hand gestures President George Bush senior gave the ldquoV-for Victoryrdquo sign as he drove in his limousine past demonstrators in Canberra Australiarsquos capital in January 1992 In Australia holding up two fingers to from a ldquovrdquo has the same vulgar meaning as the middle-finger gesture in the United States The Aussie demonstrators were enraged and they signaled in the same manner back at the US President President bush later had to apologize for his faux pas

By Cookie Curci

The written word is a powerful form of communication and when put to use it has the capability to connect generations enhance his-tory and store and create vital feelings But before there was the written word body gestures were used as a means of communications In the roman times a simple thumbs up or thumbs down could decide the fate of a gladiator in the amphitheater We all know the com-mon gesture for anger is a clinched fist accusation a pointed finger and when we are upset the derogatory use of the middle finger is employed These natural expressive gestures are commonly known as ldquobody lan-guagerdquo When expressing their on screen persona sensual actors Ros-sano Brazzi and Marchello Mastrioiani made good use of their body language to replace written dialog It is said Italian actors conveyed more drama with a gesture than most actors could do in a page of dialog The same can be said of most animated Europeans who use their eyes hands and body to convey a mood tell a story or express tempera-ment As an Italian American I can remember my Italian grandmother who could say more with one gesture one knowing glance or caressing touch than I can say in a thousand words If yoursquove ever been to Italy or watched a Fellini film Then yoursquove seen people who just naturally employ exaggerated and familiar gestures to express themselves For decades Italian film directors have had their actors use gestures to convey strong emotions tender love and deep sorrow This doesnrsquot come as a surprise to fans of the late actress Anna Magnani who used her natural body movements to enhance her roll in ldquoThe Rose Tattoordquo for which she won the 1955 academy award for best actress Like most of Italyrsquos animated actresses Magnani surpasses the scripted dialog by using her natural body gestures and movements- hold-ing nothing back She knew what all great actresses have known for years that what an actor or actress says is not nearly as important as how they say it Film directors discovered what the ancient wise men have al-ways known that there is no word big enough to encompass the power in a human beings expression How people relate to one another varies with customs and countries but always the body gesture is involved In Amer-ica when a man sees a pretty girl they raise their eyebrows Italian men press their finger into their cheek and twist it back and forth In Greece the men stroke their cheek Frenchmen kiss their fingertips And Arabs grasp their beards In America we consider the ldquothumbs uprdquo gestures as a sign of success in Australia it is considered a ldquorude gesturerdquo And yet if yoursquore a female visiting Australia you may be surprised to see men ldquowinkrdquo at you in Australia itrsquos merely a friendly overture In Italy a flick of the chin means ldquobuzz offrdquo or ldquo to heck with yourdquo It is equal to Americarsquos middle finger gesture Anyone who has ac-cidentally cut off another driver knows this overt gesture only too wellWersquove all heard a co-worker use the expression ldquodonrsquot get in my facerdquo What they are really saying is ldquodonrsquot get in my spacerdquo It is said in the business world whoever controls the space controls the situation Psy-chiatrists psychologists and others who have studied human communica-tion from a scientific point of view tell us that we have exactly 10 seconds to make a good first impression when meeting someone

f you had to describe in one word how the Internet changed everything it would be connec-

tion Businesses and personal relationships have changed due to the Internetrsquos ability to instantly

connect people globally through e-mail websites and social net-working sites such as Facebook

and MySpace The immeasurable connection that the Internet created

has changed the way the world communicates gathers and sends

information and markets its products and services However this global connec-tion has created a problem for the local business in their local markets

Why bullTraditional print adver-

tising is becoming less effective

bullMost consumers have traded in their Yellow Pages for a more comprehensive online search

bullNewspaper readership is down with many papers declaring bankruptcy bullDVR devices such as TiVo allow people to skip commercials bullSearch results bring information overload and local businesses get lost bullSearch results are dominated by large companies

Did you know bull97 of people with online access will research products and services online before they purchase bull80 of people that search never click beyond the first page bull55 of all local searches are done with intent to buy bullOf all local searches 8 out of 10 call or visit a store and 60 of those results in a purchase

Why AdzZoo Traditional advertising in todayrsquos highly competitive market has proven to be insufficient in helping many small businesses grow Newspaper and Yellow Page readership continues to decline while the cost to run ads is increasing Why advertise in a declining market Why spend more money to reach fewer people A web presence in todayrsquos online environment is a must for business owners that donrsquot want to die a death of attrition as old custom-ers leave to competitors that have a web presence

he story began in 1945 with Monsignor John Patrick Abbing the founder of ldquoThe Boys Town of Italyrdquo the Monsignor was from the Vatican Diplomatic Services It was then he began a mission to help the homeless orphans of the war-torn country It was at this time the Monsignor ldquohad a dream of a future Boyrsquos Town a community where the innate rights and duties and God given mission of each child in society be fostered and that the ultimate goal in life is to help each boy find a true place in Society as a responsible God Fearing citizenrdquo

Boys Town of Italy was incorpo-rated in 1951 it is highly recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as an American charity service Boys Town of Italy is located in Rome The Monsignor was devastated by the amount of orphans that became victims due to-World War 2 He asked the Church for assistance in finding refuge for these children and was of-fered ldquosomerdquo He felt that it was not enough so he personally went out on his own and accepted donations from the people This was the beginning of Boys Town His goal was to create a healthy and safe refuge for these children offering

them a chance in life Around the same time Actress Linda Darnell was filming in Italy She was also touched by the amount of homeless girls She helped set up a small villa in Rome to house these orphans She was told of the good works of Father John Patrick-Abbing He in turn helped by contact-ing Mother Dominic from Maryland Her response was that her whole life she taught the daughters of the wealthy and now it was time to dedi-cate her life to the poorest

and water was getting into her nostrils so she could not breath But she says that if God appeared in front of her and gave her the freedom to walk

away she would have said ldquoNO I wouldnrsquot change this for the world This is what Irsquove been born to do and therersquos no

better place for me to be than this hell Irsquom living right now I gave up everything I had in Greece for mo-

ments like this and I wonrsquot let anyone take it away from merdquo However the most emotional mo-

ment was when the other actors and actresses were trying to warm her up during breaks with hugs and towels Her most unforgettable memory is the first role that she played on Greek TV as a serial killer named Magda Besides playing this role for the televi-sion series Eva-Maria also had to play another role in theaters all over Greece for a summer The very first performance was in a small village in northern Greece When Eva-Maria and the crew arrived at that village everywhere they looked were posters promoting the play and its actors but one of the posters hung on a tree had

only her face ripped off so she was terrified because she realized that Magda was a hate-

ful character After the play was done the whole crowd

rushed behind stage shouting and yelling But Eva-Maria realized that they were shouting phrases

of praise hugging and asking her for autographs She could not believe what was happening Among the crowd

she suddenly heard familiar voices shouting ldquoEva-Maria Eva-Mariardquo It was her parents who had driven all the way from

Athens to surprise her The crowd immediately opened way for her parents and started congratulating them too Then a hand from inside the crowd gave Eva-Maria the torn piece of that poster from that tree and asked ldquoCould you please sign this for merdquo Besides acting Eva-Maria likes to listen to retro music from the 60s 80s and the 90s love songs Latin music tango and Greek music of course She likes to eat everything especially al pesto sauce but she does not like sushi Her hobbies include vacationing dancing yoga the supernatu-ral astrology swimming hiking sunbathing and ldquosexrdquo She can also speak Greek English German and some Italian Eva-Maria admires and would love to work with Steven Spielberg Guillermo del Toro Tim Burton Alex Proyas and Peter Jackson The actors she would love to play opposite with are Al Pacino Andy Garcia Geoffrey Rush and Adrien Brody ldquoFor obvious reasons Who wouldnrsquot When you work with such gifted people their talent becomes contagious if your im-munity system is weakhelliprdquo She winked In order for Eva-Maria to feel completely accomplished in her life her future plans and dreams are to make movies that will stay forever that will make a difference and will leave a mark in this world She wants to help other artists fulfill their dreams people who need food money and work and help animals that are being tortured to survive and live in humane conditions ldquoI want to help make this world a better placehellipafter all has been done I want to withdraw myself from the world retire at my country house in Greece and dedicate the rest of my life to spiritual studiesrdquo Eva-Maria added In conclusion Eva-Maria considers herself a woman of luck and sacrifices ldquoLuck doesnrsquot come without sacrifices And when it does itrsquos bor-ing You donrsquot get that feeling of accomplishment and satisfactionrdquo she said Eva-Maria cannot describe herself in just three words because she says she is conflicted unpredictable and chameleon-like She cannot even predict her own actions but she will always know her values and dreams and love her family Summer 2010 1120 Summer 2010

Rhodes Island of Greece and Italyrsquos Common Bond

R By Andrew Guzaldo

hodes was inhabited at the Neolithic era In 322BC Rhodes was joined with the empire of Alexander the Great After his death Rhodes maintained in close trade with the kingdom of Ptolemyrsquos in Egypt In 164BC Rhodes signed a treaty with Rome After defeating Demetrius Poliorcetes in 305 BC the citizens of Rhodes used their booty to erect a thank offering to their divine patron Helios Chares of Lindos a pupil of Lysippus built (292-280 BC) a bronze statue of the nude young god wearing a sun ray crown and looking out to sea The Colossus was broken at the knees and fell in an earthquake 60 years later It remained a wonder until the Arab invasion (AD 653) when it was broken up and sold for scrap metal There are many common expressions and words between the Italian and Greek languages Also a number of buildings and castles were designed and built by Italians many are stilll standing there today Especially in the islands of Ionian Sea which is at the West part of Greece the accent of the people until today has a very musical melodically tone to it which was influenced by the Republic of Venice

that occupied Corfu for nearly five centuries until 1797 There is still an Italian community living there Also quite intersting is the fact of Greek villages inside Italy where they speak Griko Itrsquos written in Roman characters and is a highly corrupted form of modern GreekGriko is not a unitary

language since it is spoken in two geographically and linguistically distinct enclaves one in the area known as Bovesia near Reggio di Calabria and the other near Lecce in the area known by the name of Grecia Salentina At the first century of our beginning St Paul visited the island Between 1307 and 1522 the island was the seat of the order of Knights of St John of Jerusalem The Knights occupied Rhodes in 1307 and com-pleted the conquest in 1310 They strengthened the city leaving the Great current walls In the low part of Rhodes they built the palace of the Great Master The island was a first seat in 1480 before falling to the hands from the Turks from Soleiman the Magnificent in 1522 after a five-month siege In 1912 Italy seized the island which belonged to the Turks then The island reunited with Greece in 1948The Colossus of Rhodes After 1926 Mussolini supported King Zog in Albania as a possible ally in a war with Yugoslavia he suppressed Greek language and religion in the Dodecanese and fortified the islands of Rhodes and Leros against possible Turkish invasion supported Croat rebels led by Ante Pavelic against king Alexander of Yugoslavia (who was killed in Oct 1934) sent arms to Germany Bulgaria Hungary and to Chancellor Englebert Dollfuss in Austria (who created a brutal fascist regime by 1934 and drove many Austrians to support anschluss with Germany) and even sent arms to Russia in return for Russian oil he continued to support the Italian pacification of Libya led by Marshal Badoglio During the 14th and 15th centuries the Knights of the Order of St John extended the Byzantine Medieval City and reinforced its fortifi-cations creating the medieval town of Rhodes Of note is the architecture in the gothic style developed in Provence at the Papal Court of Avignon (1309-1424) with which the Knights maintained close ties Eleven gates provided access to the city which is divided into two parts The Collachium where the Knights resided - the most impres-sive buildings from that time are located here the Grand Masterrsquos Pal-

ace the Infirmary and the Langues - and the Burgo the main town The Old Town as the locals call it is today one of the best preserved forti-fied medieval towns and has been listed by UNESCO and a world cultural heritage monument Walking down its paved streets admir-ing the imposing Knightly buildings the walls and their

dry moat and the bastions the Byzantine churches and the mosques the squares gardens and courtyards of houses the visitor feels that time has stopped while at the same time discovering that this unique town is still living full of surprises and just asking you to explore it The Knightsrsquo Street (Odhos Ippoton) is 200 m long and 6 m wide It was the main official street connecting the religious and political center of the fortress in other words the Catholic Cathedral (Panaghia Kastrou) and the Palace of the Grand Master Along its length are the most important public and private buildings erected by the Knights Here with few exceptions is the accommodation for the Knights the ldquoLanguesrdquo the national divisions of the Order of the Knights of St John The street is inclined and unusually for a medieval city completely straight That is one indication that it was first marked out in antiquity The Knights retained this precisely because the strict linear layout suited them and the new political importance they attached to it The present-day building was constructed in the 19th century on the site of an older one which tradition says was erected by the townrsquos conqueror Suleyman the Magnificent Note the intricate marble entrance that comes from a grave monument from the time of the knights In Dorieon Sq lies Retzet Pasha Mosque

New Town The Temple of Aphrodite from the 3rd century BC Its ruins were unearthed in the heart of the new town between Mandraki and Akandia Port in Symi Square Aghios Nikolaos light-house is a fortress at the end of the jetty with the same name where the deer statutes stand at the en-

trance to the port welcoming visitors to the island At the other end are three windmills The first houses the offices of the Army Hydrographical Service where maritime maps can be purchased The second from the 15th century operates as a museum One can see the grinding mechanism while the third houses a travel agency The municipality of Archangelos is 18 miles from Rhodes town is the largest village on the island Archangelos covers a low plateau and is surrounded by the mountains Profitis Elias Karavos and the low hills of Kefaloti Kastro and Anagros Keeping their traditions alive the residents speak in dialect and have preserved the arts of their forefathers The first houses in the village were built in 1023 at the foot of Kastro hill In the centre of the village is the dominating Church of the Archangel Michael Around it is picturesque lanes traditional houses with arched passage-ways painted in bright colours such as yellow blue and green decorated with traditional plates The atmosphere is special here Malona-Massari These are two farming villages in the valley of Nethona River set amid orange groves and orchards


Piazza Grande Arezzo ItalyMarvelous Regions Of Italy


By John Rizzo

he Metropolitan Opera of New York may be the worldrsquos foremost op-era company in a number of ways but the Lyric Opera of Chicago is capable of staging the finest opera anywhere In the 2010-11 season it is producing some of the most outstanding works in the repertoire and I for one can hardly wait to see them Kicking off the season is Verdirsquos Mac-beth (1847) The last time Lyric staged the composerrsquos 10th opera (one he thought so much of that he dedicated it to his benefactor and lifelong friend Antonio Barezzi) it was an unmitigated disaster the worst produc-tion I ever saw at the Civic Opera House That was because the director was a total nutball who saw Macbeth and his wife as ldquoHitler and Eva Braun in the bunkerrdquo I wrote at the time and still believe that anyone unfamiliar with either Shakespearersquos play or Verdirsquos opera after witness-ing this garbage wouldnrsquot have a clue as to what either was about The upcoming production however of this fairly early Verdi opera with its richness of duets and ensembles that anticipates the masterrsquos mature style under the direction of Chicago Shakespearersquos Barbara Gaines promises to be well worth seeing

Macbeth is followed by one of the real opera blockbusters Bizetrsquos Carmen (1875) This opera is still in the very first circle of the most be-loved works in the repertoire It is also the model for the verismomdasha tragic story that culminates in a murder provoked by sexual jealousy featuring a cast of commoners rather than aristocrats with a real bad girl as its protagonist I always get a kick out of how so many ladies would do just about anything to play a vamp like Carmen As a matter of fact this role is so desirable that even though it was originally scored for (and most often performed today by) a mezzo almost all of the great sopranos have in-sisted that the music be transposed higher so that they could sing it Itrsquos the same situation as Rosina in Rossinirsquos super popular Il barbiere di Siviglia Carmen is an interesting followup to Macbeth in that both operas feature wicked women but another reason that this opera is so appealing is be-cause it has so many unforgettable melodies It is also the perfect opera to take a young person for his or her initiation into the Grand Art

The opera that I am personally looking forward to most is the second Verdi work Lyric is offering this season Un ballo in maschera (1859) Thatrsquos because of its cast which could arguably said to include three of the very best singers in the world The prima donna Sondra Radvanoksky has been profiled in this magazine because I know of no better interpreter of Verdi now performing I heard her last season in Ernani and there is no doubt about her mastery of the Bel Canto style especially in the col-oratura passages But she also possesses an unusual sonority to her lower register which should give her the ldquoheftrdquo as she puts it to put across a dramatic role like Amelia quite convincingly The Riccardo is Frank Lopardo also written about in a previous issue of this magazine Frank is now one of the worldrsquos top tenors who did a magnificent job last season in Donizettirsquos Lrsquoelisir drsquoamore especially with his unique approach to

ldquoUna furtive lagrimardquo About eight or so years ago my wife and I went up to Mil-waukee to hear the Florentinersquos Rigoletto In the title role was a young baritone I had never even heard of Mark Delevan This guy not only has a cannon for a voice but he sings beautifullymdashby far the best Rigo-letto Irsquove ever heard in person The next time I heard him he was stealing the show from the other principals as Don Carlo in a Saturday Met broadcast of La forza del destino For this Verdi masterpiece I could not imagine the casting to be any better

When we think of the term ldquoSpa-ghetti Westernrdquo we may immediately be reminded of the Sergio LeoneClint Eastwood movies of the lsquo70s But the first work of this genre is Puccinirsquos La fanci-ulla del West (1910) Itrsquos New York pre-miere was one of the greatest moments in opera history with Enrico Caruso leading an all-star cast and conducted by Arturo Toscanini with Puccini himself supervis-ing the production Yet it is not one of the composerrsquos most popular works because it has only one recognizable aria Fanciulla though is excellent theater with a brilliant musical score For the experienced Italian opera lover who canrsquot get enough of Puc-cini it will satisfy far more than the other works on the seasonrsquos schedule which are Wagnerrsquos Lohengrin Brittenrsquos A Midsum-mer Nightrsquos Dream Handelrsquos Hercules and Gilbert amp Sullivanrsquos The Mikado

E-flat at the end of ldquoSempre liberardquo but not necessarily every time ldquoIt all dependsrdquo she says ldquoIf everything is going right and I feel comfortable absolutelyrdquo Ms Giannattasio is surely comfortable with English but then again she should be having graduated with majors in English and Rus-sian Why Russian ldquoI fell in love with the Russian novelsrdquo she muses ldquoespecially Tolstoy and Dostoevsky I just had to read them in the original languagerdquo This is yet another unusual trait for a singermdasha serious literary bent Besides reading she has another personal devotion photography ldquoI have a very fine Nikon camera and I love to take picturesmdashwhen I go to work when I walk in the park Carmen has a sunny outlook on things and she should have with all her talent But she also has a serious side that shersquos not afraid to show For example take the theater scene in Italy which has been so adversely affected by government austerity measures ldquoIt is a very bad situationrdquo she laments ldquoThe government has to make budget cuts and will cut support for culture rather than health care Health is just more important than culturerdquo Then there was that incident last year when tenor Roberto Alagna was viciously booed at a La Scala performance of Aida and he promptly walked out of the show Most comments were very nega-tive about this behavior but Giannattasio loyally stands up for Alagna with whom she has worked before and will do so in the future She heard that ldquoeven before the show his replacement was warming up and some people outside the theater had threatened to boo him regardless of his performancerdquo Carmen Giannattasio is originally from Avellino near Naples Her parents still live there but she lives further north ldquoI have an apartment in Veronardquo she says ldquonear the Arena But I am getting ready to move to Londonrdquo This would not be inconvenient because she is scheduled to debut at Covent Garden in 2012 and of course her English is flawless I told her that London was great although I could not find one of the many Italian restaurants there to be any good ldquoThatrsquos no problemrdquo she says brightly ldquoIrsquom a good cookrdquo Now Irsquove never heard her sing so I canrsquot tell you how good she really is but from her background her repertoire and her future prospects as we know them I wouldnrsquot hesitate to attend one of her performances Besides Vittorio Grigolo (the subject of this issuersquos cover story) says that he likes to work with her so thatrsquos good enough for me

y geography is usually pretty good but I still had to look up Las Palmas where I would talk with up-and-coming soprano Carmen Giannattasio Las Palmas is off the beaten track in the Canary Islands close to and a part of Spain not exactly as Carmen put it ldquoin the middle of the Atlantic oceanrdquo It is here that Ms Giannattasio is performing the role of Amalia in Verdirsquos I masnadieri Like Las Palmas I masnadieri is not that well known but it has an interesting history and will probably be staged more often as the 200th anniversary of Verdirsquos birth approaches in 2013 It was Verdirsquos only London premiere and the prima donna role was written for the ldquoSwedish Nightingalerdquo Jenny Lind The part is decidedly Bel Canto composed to exploit the famous singerrsquos florid and (to Verdi) antique style Uncharacteristically the composer left it to the prima donna to improvise her own cadenzas for two multi-movement arias It gives us an insight into Carmen Giannattasiorsquos approach to her art that she happily follows this traditionmdashrdquoI invented them myselfrdquo For a young artist whose favorite part is the title role in Ros-sinirsquos Ermione singing Amalia is not unexpected It is also refreshing that Carmen faces this role with more than a purely musical perspective ldquoThey [the operarsquos characters] are Greeks And Greeks and Italians are almost the samerdquo Neither is it surprising that she has sung in Montever-dirsquos Lrsquoincoronazione di Poppea Spontinirsquos La vestale Rossinirsquos Armida Bellinirsquos Il pirata Donizettirsquos Lucrezia Borgia and Verdirsquos Il corsaro Bel Canto prima donna roles are often sung by young sopranos whose voices have yet to mature But looking at her repertoire closely there are some items in it that make you go ldquohmmmmmrdquo It certainly seems a bit strange that the same young lady who has sung the above Bel Canto staples has also sung some definitely more dramatic parts like the Contessa and Donna Elvira in Mozartrsquos Le nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni Amelia and Desdemona in Verdirsquos Simon Boc-canegra and Otello and Mimi and Cio Cio San in Puccinirsquos La bohegraveme and Madama Butterfly What sorcery is this ldquoActuallyrdquo she explains ldquoitrsquos a gift from Mother Nature My physical vocal apparatus is uniquely formed so I have the sonority of a mezzo but I also have the high range and the agilityrdquo For this kind of voice she had the perfect teacher the late Turkish diva Leyla Gencer This soprano was mainly noted for her Bel Canto roles but she was also in demand for many dramatic parts like her more famous contemporary Maria Callas Like these fabled opera legends Carmen is always willing to interpolate the high note like the

rezzorsquos land was probably lived in since Paleolithic era about 200 thousand years before Christ In 1863 was found a skull that confirms this hypothesis Archaic Era The Umbri population probably made the first settlement core and it was located in the current area of the Dome Prato and Fortezza The city in this period was the commercial centre between the bordering regions The bronzes statues of Aratore Minerva and Chimera are dated to this year

Certainly there was an Etruscan settlement Arretium was one of the twelve main etruscan city one ldquoLucumoniardquo the etruscan kingsrsquoresidence In this era the power of the city rose there was an icrease of commerce and a coinrsquos brand We have a lot of finds going back at this epoch some stony surrounded walls and the morphology of the city itself The battle of Vadimone lake between etruscan and roman populations was the end of Arretium and the beginning of the roman do-main in Arezzorsquos territories but is only after the umpyeenth insurrection soothed by the Terenzio Varrone consul that Arezzorsquos history aligns with the one of Rome A thing of particular importance is the industry of the coral vases that was born in this period and that assumed a international importance The Roman decadence of the Arezzo is due to two factors first the crisis of the industry of the coral vases then the introduction of the Cassia Nova a new street of communication that replaced the Cassia and that favoured the centers of the enclosures Siena and Florence The diffusion of the Christianity and the consequent persecutions made the Piontarsquos catacombs full of faithful simultaneously also the first martyrs fell SLorentino and SPergentino that was buried to the side of Castro torrent and SDonato the second Arezzo bishop beheaded on August 7th 304 aC During the middle ages and the barbaric invasions Arezzo thanks to his strategic position was stuck from longobard francs and germans that allocated here and granted big privileges to the town The Pionta during the Middle Ages became the center of the political and religious Arezzorsquos power the bishop obtained also the earl charge In this place Guido Monaco lived and studied music The revival of the town happened in 1098 with the institution of the first consul of Arezzorsquos coun-cil in that period one of the first universities of the world was born in Arezzo The early Middleage was the most thriving epoch in the town it was centre of culture and power the nobility began to allocated here and to build the tower-houses Arezzo counted about 20000 inhabitants and it was subdivided in 4 quarters (Porta Crucifera Porta SAndrea Porta del Foro e Porta del Borgo) In 1200 thanks to the birth of confraternities and associations the most beautiful buildings in the town were built The

cathedral the Pieve of SMaria SDomenico SFrancesco the Palace Of The Council and its tower Arezzo had undertaken several struggles against the near towns particularly against Siena and Florence The two towns in 1288 joined and besieged Arezzo that resisted and it was able to catch up the Sienarsquos fugitives in Pieve al Toppo earning the victory The next year Firenze made a coalition with the Guelfi of Tuscany and they win against Arezzo in the Campaldinorsquos battle To raise the town again from the aftereffects of the defeat the bishop Guido Tarlati intervened a big political value man that was named governa-tor all his life long and he became one of the most powerful bulwarks of the Ghibellina part of Italy When the bishop Tarlati died Arezzo plumped down in decadence because of internal struggles between nobles and pop-ulation and between the Guelfe and Ghibelline families to accentuate this uncomfortable situation there were the Compagnie di Venturarsquos slaugh-ters Arezzo too exhaust fell in the Filorencersquos hands that bought it for 40 thousand florins The Florencersquos domain created uneasiness situations for many Arezzorsquos families that not succeeding in the struggle for the indepen-dence they left the town and doing so they contributed to the slow devel-opment of the economy But in this period many buildings of big value like the SMaria loggia of the graces the Palace Of The Fraternita Of The Laymans the Palace Of The Loggias and the Fortress were built In 1600 the economic situation became worse the commercial activities in town were not able to have a development and in countryside the Latifondo was not allowing the growth of the economy Arezzorsquos inhabitants never ceased fighting against the Florencersquos domain but at the same time they were also faithful citizens in this contradictory attitude Arezzo was taken in the Dukedom of Tuscany

The domain of the Asburgo-Lorena (1737-1853) was character-ized by a discontent climate caused by the Latifondorsquos reforms How-ever for Arezzorsquos inhabitants it was not the only problem in those years in fact powerful earthquake shocks were registered in town Arezzo was pratically put below-above In this occasion a miracle took place a terracottarsquos Vierge blackened by the smoke of a Via Vecchiarsquos tavern suddenly became white and bright

since this moment on the Arezzorsquos inhabitants will turn their prayers to the ldquoMadonna of the comfortrdquo Fur-ther economic crises and the occupation of the town by Frenches made the Aretini rise and shout ldquoViva Mariardquo in the roads of the town The in-surrection caused further slaughters by Frenches The Restaurazione took back the Granducato Lorenese to the Arezzorsquos guide but only up when Arezzorsquos inhabitants expressed for become part of the Sabaudo Kingdom In 1900 Arezzorsquos history aligns with the one of the others Italian towns for the two world conflicts the working struggles the resistance and the rebuilding In the half of lsquo900 Arezzo economy has a period of big rising goldrsquos industries became the economic symbol of the city

n March 20th 2009 Army Ranger 1st Lieutenant Michael Be-henna was sentenced to 25 years in prison for killing Ali Mansur a known Al Qaeda operative while serving in Iraq Mansur was known to be a member of an Al Qaeda cell operating in the lieutenantrsquos area of operation and was suspected to have organized an attack on Lt Behennarsquos platoon in April 2008 which killed two US soldiers and injured two more Army intelligence ordered the release of Mansur and Lt Behenna was ordered to return the terrorist to his home During the return of Mansur Lt Behenna again questioned the Al Qaeda member for information about other members of the terrorist cell and financial supporters During this interrogation Mansur attacked Lt Behenna who killed the terrorist in self-defense The government sub-sequently prosecuted Lt Behenna for premeditated murder Not only is this a miscarriage of justice on the behalf of Lt Behenna who was acting to prevent further loss of life in his platoon it is demoralizing to the US troops who continue to fight on behalf of the freedom and security of our nation Whether it is US border patrol agents members of the armed forces or FBI agents no individual who is serving on the frontlines in the War on Terror should be so blatantly mistreated The New York Times recently reported that the US military has initiated a policy to ldquoreintegraterdquo imprisoned Taliban fighters to their Af-ghan communities These Taliban fighters were caught with evidence that they had killed our soldiers but are released to their families in an active war zone with merely a lsquopledgersquo that they will not return to the Taliban This appears to be the latest attempt to win the hearts and minds of our enemies and taking the lsquocatch and release policyrsquo to a whole new level This brings us to Michaelrsquos case the Army has incarcerated Mi-chael for over a year now We have asked at every level that Michaelrsquos constitutional right to a fair trial be granted so that all the evidence is dis-closed to the jury Doesnrsquot seem too much to ask for an American citizen who fought for his country does it Yet Michaelrsquos request for a new trial has been stranded The Army seems to be in no hurry to have Michaelrsquos case in front of the Army Court of Appeals as they have yet to file their response to Michaelrsquos brief which was filed back in December 2009 There is a double standard in play here where enemy combat-ants are given mercy but our soldiersMarines are denied mercy For example Marine SGT Larry Hutchins whose conviction was overturned several weeks by the Navy Appellate Court is STILL IN CUSTODY while the Navy appeals the decision to the next appellate level During the past year we have come to know the families of the other soldiersMarines who have been charged and convicted of lsquomurderrsquo of Al-Qaeda or insurgents while in a combat zone We have watched as

these soldiersMarines and their families prepare for clemency hearings before the military clemency boards (The Armed Forces have a proce-dure independent of the appellate process where an incarcerated sol-dierMarine can appear before a clemency board and ask for a reduction of his sentence or if the individual has served at least 13 of his sentence they may request parole) We have heard the hopelessness in the voices of the families when they learn that their son or husband will not receive ANY reduction in their sentence It is difficult for these military families to know that based on lsquosolemnrsquo pledge Taliban fighters are released by the same US military leadership and allowed to return home to their families What message does the US military send when we punish our own soldiers more harshly then we punish the combatants who have killed our brave men and women on the front lines of this war on terrorism Many of the soldiersMarines I am speaking of including our son would never find themselves involved in the criminal justice system but for their combat experience These soldiersMarines do not have pre-vious criminal histories and their military records are replete with honor-able service including purple hearts bronze stars and multiple deploy-ments in defense of our country Some of these soldiers fell victim to the militaryrsquos lsquocatch and releasersquo policy that returns enemy combatants to the battlefield where they return to fight our soldiers time and time again Yet others were protecting themselves or their men in a combat zone Even if they made mistakes in judgment during war should they be sentenced to 10-40 years while the enemy is totally forgiven Why shouldnrsquot the Same military leadership afford our combat soldiersMarines a second chance If the US military will release Taliban fighters simply on a pledge by their families that they will not rejoin the Taliban then we ask the same for our troops These soldiersMarines are not a threat to our society and deserve to be home with their families We ask that you the American public stand with us Our request is that each of you vouch for these soldiersMarines and demand that our military extend the same mercy to them as they did to the enemy combatants who are trying to kill our soldiers every day Please write a letter to your Senator Congressman and the Secretary of Defense and advise them that this double standard will not be tolerated

[WASHINGTON] With Congress continuing to oppose moving GITMO terrorists inside the United States Congressman Don Manzullo (R-IL) today called on the President to purchase and fully utilize the va-cant Thomson Correctional Center in northwest Illinois as a maximum security federal prison without the terrorists In a letter to President Obama Manzullo said another 750 max-imum security federal inmates could be incarcerated at the state-owned Thomson facility if the Administration allowed the federal Bureau of Pris-ons (BOP) to use the three pods (200 cells in each pod) currently set aside for GITMO terrorists The BOP is planning to house 1800 maximum-se-curity federal inmates in the other five pods at Thomson and would wel-come the additional space ldquoHousing an extra 750 federal prisoners at Thomson would cre-ate more civilian job opportunities while further reducing the current 52 percent overcrowding in the federal prison systemrsquos maximum security divisionrdquo Manzullo said ldquoIt is my understanding that the federal prison population is expected to grow by 10000 to 14000 inmates over the next two years This has become a critical safety issue that reduces the guard to prison ratio and jeopardizes the security of our federal personnel who work in these facilities I strongly urge the President to fully utilize Thom-son as a federal prison without the terroristsrdquo Manzullorsquos letter to the President comes on the heels of another strong bipartisan vote in Congress this past week against bringing the

GITMO terrorists into the United States On Thursday the House Armed Services Committee voted 59-0 for the FY 2011 Defense Authorization bill (HR 5136) that includes the following language ldquo(t)he committee firmly believes that the construction or modification of any facility in the US to detain or imprison individuals currently being held at Guantanamo must be accompanied by a thorough and comprehensive plan that out-lines the merits costs and risks associated with utilizing such a facility No such plan has been presented to daterdquo As a result of this unanimous legislative action even Illinois Governor Pat Quinn acknowledged to the Chicago Tribune on Friday it is less likely the GITMO terrorist detainees will come to Illinois Manzullo suspects the outrageous price tag of moving the GIT-MO terrorists to Thomson -- $350 million ndash is also a driving force behind Congressrsquo opposition to the plan along with concerns that moving GIT-MO to Thomson will simply transfer the threat and hatred to northwest Illinois ldquoWith this latest bipartisan vote in Congress it is apparent the President will not get the Congressional support he needs to move the terrorists to Thomsonrdquo Manzullo said ldquoI strongly urge him to free up the extra pods at the prison so we can house another 750 federal prison inmates and further reduce the extreme overcrowding in the federal maxi-mum security systemrdquo

From Enemy to friendsItalians Travel to Hereford Texas to Visit POW Chapel

By Andrew Guzaldo

They suffered the humiliation of defeat and capture the death of five countrymen during internment the loss of years of their lives and months of debilitating hunger but on four of the ldquoHerefordianirdquo ndash former internees of the Camp Hereford prisoner of war camp -- returned to the site of their imprisonment to rededicate the chapel constructed in memory of their dead

The return to Hereford was especially poignant for Angerilli Adrino who as a young lieuten-ant worked to construct the cha-pel in the waning days of WWII knowing that when he and the thousands of other Italian POWs were finally repatriated to their homeland five of their comrades ndash Pvt Innocente Ortelli Lt Eva-risto Fava Cpl Pierluigi Berti-celli Capt Renzo Banzi and Sgt

Giulio Zamboni ndash would not be re-turning home with them The chapel now sits in a neat little space surrounded by shoulder high milo off a dirt road in Castro County joined only by the base of the camprsquos water tower as the only visible reminder that there was ever a prison ndash formally known as the Hereford Military Reservation and Reception Center -- at the site Ezio Luccioli 91 Giuseppe Margottini joined Adrino now 91 80 ndash who because of lying about his age to enlist was at age 16 the youngest POW interred at Camp Hereford and Fernando Togni an Italian Marine cap-tured at Anzio All four because of their status as ldquonon-collaboratorsrdquo ndash loyalists to Benito Mussolini who refused to switch allegiance to the King of Italy after Italyrsquos fall to the allies were assigned to Camp Hereford which was consid-ered ldquothe end of the linerdquo for non-cooperative Italian POWs The camp which consisted of four compounds spread over 165 acres was located largely in Castro County but identified as Hereford be-cause of its proximity to the small community about 5 miles away The four former POWs were joined on their visit by Italyrsquos Under Secretary of State Roberto MeniaVincenzo Arcobelli Comites President and the General Consul of Italy Cristano Maggipinto Italian film and television crews also documented the return to Hereford A fifth Italian POW Vincenzo Centofanti who was captured in Ethiopia and interred by British forces in a number of camps throughout North Africa also participated in the rededication ceremony POWs who signed documents disavowing their allegiance to Mus-solini after Italyrsquos surrender in September 1943 were often returned to active duty and assigned to service units according to historic accounts of the era while the ldquoNonsrdquo or ldquoMussolini menrdquo as the non-collaborators were referred were interned throughout the war and as in the case of the Hereford internees for a number of months after the end of hostilities The first POWs arrived at Hereford on April 3 1943 and the last prisoners left on Feb 7 1946 Hereford was the second-larges POW camp built in Texas and at its peak held 3860 prisoners during August 1943 Adrino who was captured in May 1943 was initially sent to a POW camp in Missouri where he was afforded the chance to disavow his loyalty to Mussolini Because he refused he was transferred to Hereford On Friday night during a press conference held at Herefordrsquos Best Western motel Adrino through an interpreter said he was ldquovery takenrdquo with his experience in Hereford ldquoand still remembers the barbed-wire fences and barracksrdquo Adrino who has made several return trips to Hereford professed that his only bad memory of his internment was when their US Army captors suddenly cut rations to the prisoners to what Adriano referred to as a ldquo600 calorie a dayrdquo diet

When asked if any POWs ever considered attempting to escape Her-eford Adriano answered first with a slight grin ldquoEverybody everydayrdquo he said adding that he himself had been involved in a tunnel escape attempt that discovered by their American guards about the time the tunnel had cleared the fence line Equipment used to dig and support the tunnel he said was pur-chased by sales of prisoner-made alcohol that was sold to their US guards Adriano said History records there were at least initially successful escapes from the prison but no prisoner actually evaded capture for long The goal Adrino said was simply ldquoto get outrdquo With the end of their imprisonment nearing Adriano and several oth-er POWs constructed the 10x10 chapel in just a matter of two weeks labor At approximately the same time another crew of POWs began work painting mu-rals and creating woodcarvings at St Maryrsquos Catholic Church in Umbarger The work at St Maryrsquos was completed in just six weeks ndash all of which occurred months after the final surrender of the Axis powers Following the rededication ceremony the former POWs and their entourage dined at the Hereford Country Club before driving to Umbarger to tour St Maryrsquos Vincenzo Arcobelli president of Comites to Italians Living Abroad representing Italians living in Arkansas Louisiana Oklahoma and Texas said the rededication effort at the chapel couldnrsquot have been completed without the assistance of labor and commitment of the people of Deaf Smith and Castro counties The effort he said ldquowas to promote and protect a part of American

and Italian historyrdquo Arcobelli like many of the dignitaries who spoke at vari-ous events took care to explain that while many of the Hereford internees were there because of their refusal to disavow their former leader it was for them a matter of pride and honor not political belief ldquoThey were soldiersrdquo he said ldquoIt makes no difference if

they belonged to one political party or another They were soldiers and men of honorrdquo Menia the highest-ranking Italian dignitary said the Hereford POWs ldquokept their own dignity and their own honor They were soldiers of honor not soldiers of fortunerdquo

By John Rizzo

I had to do a double-take when I was assigned to review the Ristorante Al Teatro - 1223 W 18th St Wait a minute Isnrsquot that in Pilsen which is about 999 per-cent Mexican ldquoIf they can open a tacqueria on Taylor Street we can open an Italian restaurant in Pilsenrdquo chided owner Dominick Geraci Fair enough But what kind of place is this I thought When my wife and I went down there for dinner we encountered one of the most amazing restau-rants imaginable Situated to the east of Blue Island Avenue Al Teatro is actu-

ally in a changing neighborhood just south of the totally rehabbed Water Market area a modern residential section that was once the cityrsquos fresh produce center The restau-rant occupies only a small part of a large building erected in 1893 to coincide with the Columbian Exposition and now listed on the National Register of Historic Places Much of this structure contains different sized dwelling units but the most spectacular part is a classically designed theater called Thalia Hall named af-ter the Muse of Com-edy and built by the Czechs who domi-nated this area at that time Despite needing considerable remodel-ing Dominick claims that he can have the theater ready for ac-tion by this fall This seems hard to believe but Geraci is a serious man so I wouldnrsquot bet against it ldquoIf you want to do something do what you knowrdquo says Dominick The Norridge native originally from Sicily has been in the real estate and rehabbing business for over twenty years From the looks of the Ristorante Al Teatro he surely knows how to make a place appear impressive Wherever he has had the chance he has captured the de-sign schemes of the buildingrsquos original deacutecor This goes for the private party rooms and wine racks in the basement The walls are festooned with photos and memorabilia of the Co-lumbian Exposition Coming here is almost like traveling back in time and the place presents a real treat for the eyes

What about the food Well Dominick knows about the food business too Before he got into real estate he owned and ran Il Primo Foods (now Rex Foods) on Harlem Ave Al Teatrorsquos fare reflects the expertise of a man who understands what people expect from an Italian restaurant You can categorize the restaurantrsquos offerings into three general categories ndash pizza Italian special-ties and homemade gelato We decided to sample all three We accompanied our meal with some excellent Chianti Classico selected from a concise but still

comprehensive wine list Al Teatro offers twenty kinds of pizza all baked to order in roomy wood burning ovens These are all very thin kind of Na-politanrsquo style so we shared two a delicious Goat Cheese Pizza with mozzarella roasted peppers caramelized onions and eggplant and a scrumptious Speck e Formaggio with tomatoes and Fontina and Gorgonzola chees-es Speck by the way is a specially cured ham like a thick and juicy prosciutto We had the pizzas in place of appetizers that are also very tempting Knowing that we couldnrsquot leave until

trying some of Al Teatrorsquos homemade ice cream we decided to skip the secondi and try a couple of the pasta dishes The one with fresh seafood was the Lin-guine ai Frutti di Mare which features artfully grilled calamari clams mussels and shrimp (pre-oil spill) in a light red sauce The other was the inviting Spa-ghetti al Galletto with chicken breast sundried tomatoes and goat cheese in a zesty pesto sauce Our enjoyment of this first class food was magnified by the company of Dominick and his beautiful wife Catherine Now it was time for dessert Displayed in a large counter that is almost intimidating are Al Teatrorsquos 24 selections of homemade gelato The citrus and flavor bases are imported from Sicily regu-larly so itrsquos going to be hard to find Italian des-serts more authentic than these Which ones to try We finally opted for Pistachio and Strac-ciatella but these were difficult choices Wersquoll just have to go back and pick a couple different ones next time But we really loved the texture and taste of genuine ice cream ndash a fine conclu-sion to an outstanding dining experience Ristorante Al Teatro has been open for over a year now and itrsquos a good prospect to become an Italian dining institution before long Its location may seem off the beaten track but this south-of-UIC area is really booming Once the Thalia Theater gets going which Irsquom sure it will you wonrsquot be able to dine here without reservations Right now it is a great place for a banquet with many options available For the super quality of the food and the antique ambience it has already become one of my favorite restaurants to visit

Dante Alighieri ndash An Ancient Family Tree he Alighieri Family of Florence did not become famous because of its no-bility status but because it gave birth to the poet Dante In La Divina Commedia ldquoThe Paradisordquo section Cacciaguida degli Elisei Dantersquos great-great-grandfather tells us the origins of the Alighieri family They descended from the family of the Eli-sei Adamo Eliseirsquos son was Cacciaguida who married an Aldighieri from Ferrara and had a child named Aldighiero the founder of the family Aldighiero had a son named Bellincione who settled in San Martino al Vescovo he fathered Alighiero a judge who despised the trade of lending money on

usury and chose instead to become a small landowner Alighiero married twice the first time to Bella degli Abati from whom he had Durante aka Dante Bella died when Dante was not yet ten years old and Alighiero soon married again to Lapa daughter of Chiarissimo Cialuffi It is uncer-tain whether he really married her as widowers had social limitations in these matters This woman definitely bore two children Dantersquos brother Francesco and sister Tana (Gaetana) The exact date of Dantersquos birth is not known although it is generally believed to be around 1265 This can be deduced from auto-biographic allusions in ldquothe Infernordquo section (Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita - ldquoHalfway through the journey we are livingrdquo implying that Dante was around 35 years old as the average lifespan according to the Bible is 70 years and as the imaginary travel took place in 1300 Dante must have been born around 1265) When Dante was 12 he was promised in marriage to Gemma daughter of Messer Manetto Donati Contracting marriages at this early age was quite common and involved a formal ceremony including con-tracts signed before a notary Dante had already fallen in love with another woman Beatrice Portinari (known also as Bice) the daughter of Folco di Ricovero Portinari Dante met her at the age of nine when his father took him to the Portinari house for a May Day party At the time Beatrice was eight years old a year younger than Dante Dante was instantly taken with her and remained so throughout her life even though she married another man Beatrice died in June of 1290 at the age of 24 After Beatricersquos death Dante withdrew into intense study and began composing poems dedicated to her memory he never mentioned his wife Gemma in any of his po-ems

To further his political career and take part in public life Dante became a pharmacist He did not intend to actually practice as one but a law issued in 1295 required that nobles who wanted public office had to be enrolled in one of the ldquoCorporazioni delle Arti e dei Mestierirdquo so Dante obtained admission to the apothecariesrsquo guild This profession was not entirely irrelevant since at that time books were sold from apothecariesrsquo shops As a politician he accomplished little but he held various offices over a number of years in a city undergoing political unrest During this time Florence was threatened by two competing ldquoGuildsrdquo One side was the Guelphs a political alliance supporting the Papacy while the other side the Ghibellines supported the Holy Roman Emperor Dantersquos family belonged to the Guelphs Dante after marrying Gemma had several children As often happens with significant figures many people subsequently claimed to be Dantersquos offspring however it is likely that Pietro Jacopo Giovanni Gabrielle Alighieri and Antonia were truly his children Antonia became a nun known as Suor (Sister) Beatrice Dante died in 1321 (at the age of 56) possibly of malaria while returning to Ravenna from a diplomatic mission to Venice Dante was buried in Ravenna at the Church of San Pier Maggiore (later called San Francesco) Dantersquos children followed their father in exile in 1302 after his fatherrsquos death Pietrorsquos family settled in Verona The Alighieri family ended in Verona in 1558 and the Serego Family inherited the Alighieri name after the last female family member married a Serego If Dantersquos family tree can be documented back to the early 1000s through his literary works we donrsquot need to descend from a famous writer to learn ours Learning about our origins can be an important legacy to our children after all memories are not used to remember the lost time but to start again knowing that losing our roots inevitably leads to a loss in our identity as people who live think and love Learning about our origins can be an important legacy to our children after all memories are not used to remember the lost time but to start again knowing that losing our roots inevitably leads to a loss in our identity as people who live think and love

Goth This word contains over a thousand years of drama In brief Around the fifth century the Goths were a tribe that helped defeat the Roman Empire by the 1500s gothic meant ldquobarbaricrdquo and was used to insult a new style of architecture that architecture became associated with the medieval age ideas of me-dieval darkness and mystery inspired gothic fiction of the 1800s like Dracula All this eventually led in the

1990s to goth fashion ndash characterized by vampire-ish black clothes and eye-liner and a preference for dark music and moody Romanticism

Drsquooh Officially referred to as ldquoannoyed gruntrdquo in The Simpsons scripts Homer Simpsonrsquos signature interjection became a catchphrase of the decade (and later an audio trademark of Twentieth Century Fox) Merriam-Webster thoughtfully defined it this way ldquomdashused to express sudden recognition of a foolish blunder or an ironic turn of events`

Globalization Positive word Negative word In many ways both Although globalization dates back to the 50s it went into overdrive in the 90s ndash repre-senting not just the excitement and opportunities of an electronically connected global village but also the conflict between multinational companies and local interests

Grunge Punk rock mixed with heavy metal a defining sound of the de-cade Grunge With the Seattle band Nirvana (and its 1991 album Nevermind ) leading the way grunge bands filled the 90s with distorted guitars and angst-filled lyrics The word comes from grungy meaning ldquodirtyrdquo but high-end designers and mainstream retailers adopted the outsider look ndashflannel shirts knit caps ripped jeans ndash

Politically Correct It so happens that the Left invented this phrase it entered Com-munist lingo in the 1930s to praise loyalty to the party line But eventually politically correct turned against them The 90s used it used mainly by the Right ndash as a kind of battle cry of the Culture Wars Herersquos President George H W Bush in a 1991 commencement speech at the University of Michigan ldquoThe notion of political correctness has ignited controversy across the land And although the movement arises from the laudable desire to sweep away the debris of racism and sexism and hatred it replaces old prejudice with new ones It declares certain topics off-limits certain expression off-limits even certain gestures off-limitsrdquo

DVD In the second half of the decade these slim shiny objects slipped easily into our lives The inven-tors never really decided whether the acronym stands for ldquodigital video discrdquo or ndash to cover more than just video ndash ldquodigital versatile discrdquo Either way DVDs pushed clunky old VHS tapes off movie rental shelves (remember those stores) and introduced an important new revenue stream to Hollywood

Gen X You know who you are (and you can still hum the Brady Bunch theme) This term was initially used to describe British teens first in the 1950s and again in the 1960s But finally ndash after Douglas Couplandrsquos 1991 best seller Generation X ndash it stuck with North Americans born in the 1960s and 70s who grew up in the shadow of the baby boomers

THE ITALIAN CHICKS took the stage at ldquoCatch a Rising Starrdquo in Princeton NJ May 222010 The audience was welcomed by a voice over CD that gave them and idea of what they were to expect and that the Italian Chicks were not there to defame or slander Italian Americans

Gina Scarda (the first Italian Chick) took the stage and got them all fired up with her many stories of life as a NYPD Sergeant and more Carolann Valentino then galloped thru the crowd with a Cowboy hat swinging balls of provolone She is our Italian Rose of Texas Mary Dimming grabbed the microphone with the ldquo that girl next door facerdquo and had them on a roll with gravy as she talked about the 7 fishes Maryann ldquoBoom Boomrdquo Maisano came out waving her huge Italian flag and man-aged to knock over someonersquos drink while making her entrance She hit the stage and shared stories of Italian Christmas cookies and Mom and Dad from Calabria and then broke out an amazing version of Etta James At Last She then called the rest of the Chicks back up to perform song parodies of some old favorites while playing her guitar

The audience LOVED the show and raved It seemed there was a procession line like at an Italian wedding with folks lining up to say THANK YOU for making us feel like we were at a family reunion and for making me remember my heritage and traditions

THE ITALIAN CHICKS will be at Catch a Rising Star in Rhode Island on Oct 9-10 For more information go to THEITALIANCHICKSCOM or find them on Facebook - The Italian Chicks fan club
