Mussolini used violence as a main tactic to help promote his political viewpoint of fascism. Through illegal violence, rather than elections, Fascists controlled government administration and destroyed the offices, newspapers, and cultural and social organizations of the Socialists, trade unions, and peasant leagues (Lyttelton). Socialists had a difficult time reorganizing because of the repeated violence toward local leaders. Large demonstrations, assisted by the police and higher classes, were…

Growing up, my parents would both work afternoon jobs, which meant a home cooked meal was rare in my home. I believe this contributed to me always going out to eat. I loved Italian food, but specifically I loved pizza. There are two restaurants in particular that i always go to; these are Pizza Patron, and Rome's Pizza. I think Rome's Pizza is better because of the quality, service, and sophisticated atmosphere. First off, Rome's Pizza is more expensive. This is due to the fresh, non-frozen…

Mary McCarthy’s pretty loyal to Vasari’s portrayal of Paolo Uccello. She describes him as a solitary character incredibly focused on work; to the point that he would just shut himself away to deal with his long term perspective project. Vasari speaks similarly of Uccello, even arguing that Uccello spentso much time on his project that he “nothing but waste his time, exhaust his powers, fill his mind with difficulties” McCarthy often quotes Vasari when describing the life of Uccello. And focuses…

Italy’s Culture Ciao! This is Italian for “Hello!” The culture of Italy is a of particular interest to me because all of my dad’s side of the family is Italian and has Italian ancestry. My father’s Grandparents were born and raised in Italy, and spoke all Italian. Italy has the most romantic people in the whole word, just before Paris. Some cultural practices that they do in Italy, is that their most popular sport is “football” or soccer. Although my family is a Italian family, we don’t always…

Jersey Shore was a popular TV show on MTV between 2009 and 2012 about “Guidos”, or Americans of Italian descent in their twenties who rented a house together on the Jersey Shore, which was aimed at teenagers and people under thirty. Jersey Shore is affecting our culture in a negative way because the majority of people that watched it might have thought differently about Italians and think that’s all that they do. At one point, Jersey Shore became one of the most watched TV shows and I think it…

For instance, ‘[he] forged the the paramilitary Fascist Movement during 1919-1921” (Benito Mussolini). Before Hitler had made Benito force the Fascist Party to be the largest party in the Italian government, Benito definitely came up with it himself. He gathered everything he had in order to create the Fascist Party. He was “[like] his sister, who was a member of the First Socialist International Party, [and] became a Socialist” (Early Years)…

Italian neorealism is a style of filming in Italy after World War II, created by a concern for social issues and often shot on location with unexperienced actors. Truth a very important opinion of Italian neorealism because truth makes a film realistic. This can be seen through the truth of the characters, lighting, location, decoration, and camera angles and editing. The storyline being as simple as the search for a bicycle. Likewise, the actual characters in the film are everyday normal people…

Laura Guley- Renaissance 1. Brunelleschi & Ghiberti / Sacrifice of Isaac Competition Panels (1 video) 1. To create doors for the baptistery. The winner would have their sculptures decorate the doors. 2. Ghiberti was less violent less scary, more complexity emotionally, Abraham was reluctant. Ghiberti used less bronze. 3. I like Ghiberti’s panel more because it is less violent and less traumatic than Brunelleschi’s panel. 2. Brunelleschi / Dome of the Cathedral of Florence 1. The first…
