I took a vacation to Italy. There was a lot of beautiful scenery, wonderful food, and so much more. I visited Rome, Venice, and Florence, went to the beaches, ate lots of Italian food, and went June 18-25th so it would not be too hot or too cold. First, I had to figure out what all I needed for my trip to Italy, I discovered I had to get a passport to even enter the country.” Passports should have at least six months remaining validity beyond your departure date. U.S. citizens may enter Italy…
and their children often ran high. While the Italian immigrants were devoted to their faith and on conscious, intentional, and spiritual levels, it seems that many of their children continued their religious and familial values on cultural and subconscious levels, rather than a spiritual one, and often times did so out of resignation or obligation, rather than genuine enthusiasm. One of the most important parts of the year for a member of the Italian Harlem community was the festa- the feast…
Art is influenced by everything around it, it comes as a direct result of the cultural sphere it occurs within. The Italian group of painters known as the Macchiaioli are no different from this rule, during the nineteenth-century they took outside influences to create a new esthetic that reflected their personal ideals. Although how independently this new esthetic came about, and who influenced them directly can varied. Depending on the point of view of the author writing on the Macchiaioli,…
Thanks to shows like Jersey Shore, the Italian culture as a whole is completely misinterpreted. When I visited my cousin in Rome, I was amazed at how inaccurate that show’s representation of Italians really was and how different the Italian culture was compared to what I grew up thinking and experiencing with my own family. My own experience when I visited Italy inspired me to research and discuss the differences between each country and how they represent the Italian culture. Food is one of the…
Italian food is one of the most popular foods globally. The reason behind its worldwide popularity is because it has developed through many centuries through changes in social and political settings (Fortina, 2003 p.398). Origin of Italian dishes date back as the 4th B.C.E with the main origin areas in the ancient Roman Empire, Etruscan and ancient Greek. They were significant changes especially after the agrarian revolution in Europe as new crops were grown such as the potatoes, maize, pepper…
Italy come from the Renaissance age, such as the leaning tower of Pisa. Besides the different styles in buildings, I have heard that the food in Italy is quite different compared to the food America offers. For instance, from what I can imagine, the Italian food seems to be fresher, whether it’s served at a restaurant or bought at a market. In spite of these differences between the U.S. and Italy, the fashion industry is something both countries unconsciously observe. In this case, people in…
family oriented one, don?t rely of the individual centered approach. Incorporate the family into the sessions. Avoid accepting the language barrier as a barrier. If the client has trouble conversing in English, go ahead and have interpreters ready to help you understand the client. If your clientele are mostly Hispanic/Latino, go to college and learn the Spanish language. This shows the client you are truly…
The Italian American Discourse Community During the past couple of weeks I have been observing the Italian discourse community, which I am apart of as my immediate family are Italian-Americans. Through the many observations, I have been able to grasp a better understanding on how distinct the Italian-American community is in comparison to the other communities around me. I examined the community Italian-American discourse community rigorously and I found many characteristics that make the…
Following the end of World War I, a new political doctrine emerged in Italy and Germany and was strongly enforced and spread by two extremely influential figures: Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler. This new political ideology was named fascism by Mussolini, and according to him, was different than all ideologies before it; he lists in The Doctrine of Fascism ideologies such as socialism and democracy that fascism specifically opposes. Both Mussolini and Hitler rejected most ideologies that came…
adding, removing and changing the original parts like the modes, genres, and materials into something completely different or opposite. Remix is everywhere it could be movies, and music or even pizza. This food, which is pizza has gone beyond the language and culture barrier, acceptance by the national consumers. But this food actually comes from where and when, there is no way to investigate. Through a remix, people get more creative or easier to get some ideas. Because of these, many artists…
