SUMMARY:An Avant-Garde Italia: The Futurists\, Modern Art and the Promise of the 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rob Prufer \nIn 1909 the writer Filippo Tommaso Marinetti published his Futurist Manifesto\, in which he denounced the oppressive weight of Italy’s past and advocated a program of radical artistic\, social and technological innovation. Soon\, painters\, sculptors\, writers and musicians joined Marinetti in a quest to re-fashion Italian culture and are known collectively as The Futurists. What are we to make of their whirlwind of artistic output? What impact did they have? How Italian was this movement of passionate Italians?

SUMMARY:September 11\, 2019 English Language Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Dante Alighieri Society English Language Meeting Dominic Minotti Dominico Minotti Famous Women of Italian Descent Kicking off this year’s schedule will be a presentation by Domenico Minotti (Nick) on “Famous Women of Italian Descent”. This will be the basis for this year’s Festa Italiana quiz that Nick has been creating for the past few years to use at our booth. For Festa\, reference information will be available to help visitors pick the woman who fits the description. The names of folks with successful entries (8 out of 10) will be entered into a drawing for a free dinner at one of our Dante events. The September 11 presentation for Dante\, however\, will be a straightforward talk about these 10 women\, 6 well known\, 2 less known and 2 probably new to most Dante members. In the late 1920s\, Nick’s parents emigrated from Sant’Angelo\, Limosano\, a small hilltop town in Molise. The population at that time was about 1000 but is now 345 as Nick learned on a visit this summer. The family spoke their dialect at home. Nick studied Italian at Columbia University and Perugia and gotlots of practice while on Fulbright study grants in Milan in the mid 60’s.Nick returned to the states and to his first love\, medicine\, at Georgetown University and came to Seattle in 1976 to work at the US Public Health Hospital on Beacon Hill\, better known as the Marine Hospital. He and his father Pasquale would attend Dante meetings back then but took a break until retirement a few years ago. Nick serves as a Consigliere for our Dante group.

SUMMARY:April 24\, 2019 Italian Language Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Matteo FitzGeraldTopic: La Sicilia \nUn’esplorazione della Sicilia\, conosciuta come Granaio degli Imperi”\, e nell’antico Greco\, la Trinacria. È la più grande regione d’Italia e la quarta più popolosa\, con oltre5 milioni di persone. Esploreremo la storia\, la lingua\, i terroir e la cultura della Sicilia. La Sicilia ha una storia ricca e antica\, risalente alle tribù originarie che si trasferirono sull’isola\, all’era classica\, quando la Grecia\, poi i Romani\, mantennero ampie presenze nell’area. Nelle ere moderne\, l’isola è stata occupata da una varietà di imperi\, ed è di enorme importanza strategica nel Mediterraneo\, a causa di numerosi porti diacque profonde\, la posizione nel centro del mare\, e la vasta generosità agricola del terra. La lingua siciliana ha influenze dal greco\, italiano\,arabo e altro ancora. Ci sarà un sacco di tempo per domande e discussioni.La presentazione sarà in italiano e in siciliano\, e ci sarà una dispensa con parole in inglese\, italiano e\, per alcune parti\, in siciliano. Perquanto riguarda la cultura\, ad esempio due vincitori del Premio Nobel perla letteratura (in totale sei dall’Italia) sono nati in Sicilia\, conferiti nel 1934 a Luigi Pirandello (Agrigento\, dove si trova la Valle dei Templi)\, e nel 1959 a Salvatore Quasimodo (Modica\, noto per l’architettura barocca e dove il cioccolato è fatto nel modo antico). \nBio: Matteo FitzGerald è di origine siciliana (madre) e irlandese-americana (padre). Ha centinaia di migliaia di parenti in Sicilia (la famiglia allargata della madre) e ha vissuto circa 7 anni della sua vita in Sicilia e in Italia\, principalmente nella sua città natale siciliana nella regione di Catania. Ha conseguito una laurea e si è laureato presso il dipartimento di studi italiani dell’Università di Washington (Classe del 2012) e anche in Studi internazionali.Attualmente è membro del Board of the Italian Festival of Seattle (Festa Italiana)\, ex 3 volte Presidente del Club Italiano dell’Università di Washington\, e anche\, ex Trustee & Sentinel della casetta Seattle Fedele degli Figli e Figlie d’Italia. \nSpeaker: Matteo FitzGerald: Topic: Sicily \nAn exploration of Sicily\, the largest Mediterranean Island\, known as the “Granary of Empires”\, and\, in the ancient Greek\, the Triangle. It is the largest region of Italy\, and the 4th most populous\, with over 5 million people. We will explore the history\, language\, terroirs and culture of Sicily. Sicily has a rich and ancient history\, going back to the original tribes that moved onto the island\, to the Classical era\, when Greece\, then the Romans\,maintained large presences in the area. In the modern eras\, the island has been occupied by a variety of empires\, and it is of tremendous strategic importance in the Mediterranean\, due to several deep water ports\, location in the center of the sea\, and the vast agricultural bounty of the land.The Sicilian language has influences from the Greek\, Italian\, Arabic and more. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. The presentation will be in Italian and in Sicilian\, and there will be a handout with words in English\, Italian and\, for some parts\, in Sicilian. As for culture\, for example two Nobel prize winners in Literature (of the total of six from Italy) were born in Sicily\, awarded in 1934 to Luigi Pirandello (Agrigento\, where the Valley of the Temples is located)\, and in 1959 to Salvatore Quasimodo (Modica\, known for Baroque architecture and where chocolate is made in the ancient way). \nBio: \nMatteo FitzGerald is of Sicilian (mother) & Irish-American (father) descent. He has hundreds to thousands ofrelatives in Sicily (his mother’s extended family) and has lived approximately 7 years of his life off and on in Sicily & Italy\, mainly around his Sicilian hometown in the Catania region. He holds a Bachelor’s degree\, and is a graduate of the University of Washington Italian Studies department (Class of 2012) and also International Studies.
