We are most grateful to all who have contributed, whether Rivista regulars or first-timers. Features range from an explanation of the Italian political system to Queen Victoria’s visits to Italy, from Venice as an island of study to Florence as inspiration for Lady Chatterley’s Lover. We also include a review of the National Gallery’s blockbuster Veronese show, and couldn’t put this issue to bed without an article on Garibaldi – 2014 being the 150th anniversary of his historic visit to London.

For his services he was awarded the Cross of the Order of Valour by King Victor Emmanuel II. Peard retired to Cornwall and was visited by Garibaldi during his visit to England in April 1864.

Garibaldi was received in the British capital as an anti-Catholic and liberal hero, and Garibaldimania gripped all classes of British society as he visited the country, notionally to thank the British people for the support which they had consistently given to the national movement in Italy. Garibaldi was feted from the start of his stay, being received at Southampton by his aristocratic supporter the Duke of Sutherland, visiting the Isle of Wight to meet Tennyson, and then travelling to London, where he was mobbed by a crowd of 500,000 people as his carriage tried to reach the Duke’s home at Stafford House – now known as Lancaster House. A succession of invitations, tributes, speeches, dinners and displays of enthusiasm greeted the Italian hero in mid-Victorian Britain, with Garibaldi actively cultivating his celebrity status and persona, though he was wary of allowing any one group to take him over, whether they were Italian republican exiles or British aristocratic admirers (particularly female ones). He met leading politicians including Gladstone, Palmerston and Russell, as well as Garibaldi public figures like Florence Nightingale, and he received the freedom of the City of London as well as that of the He attended rallies of working people at Crystal Palace, Fishmongers’ Guild. and he also met Mazzini and other radical exiles, including Alexander Herzen – at which point the British Government began to show some concern about the feelings so stirred up. British radicals tried to get him to visit the great Northern cities like Newcastle, and away from his grand admirers in London, but Garibaldi failed to do this, and in fact he suddenly decided to cut short his visit, pleading exhaustion. He left for Italy in the last week of April 1864, to the disappointment of Mazzinians and British radicals alike, who had hoped his presence would attract funds to help liberate Venice and Rome (which only became part of the new Kingdom in 1870). His visit thus ended rather sourly, but it had a discernible effect in Britain both on the political process leading to the Second Reform Act of 1867, and on the movement to found the International Working Men’s Association in London that same year. The visit was suitably commemorated both in 1914 and again in 1964, and late in 2013 an organising committee was set up, with the welcome and active help of the Italian Embassy, to plan a suitable programme of events for Spring 2014. As chairman of the British-Italian Society, I worked with Domenic Pini, chairman of the Mazzini-Garibaldi Club in London, Telegram from Freemasons in Palermo thanking Freemasons in London and a number of others to pull together a full programme, for reception given to Garibaldi which included a well-attended lecture at the Italian Cultural 4 FEATURES Institute by Professor Lucy Riall of London University (and author of the best work on Garibaldi in English), followed by a concert of Risorgimento music, another ceremony to confer a City freedom on Garibaldi’s redoubtable great-granddaughter Anita, and an exhibition of memorabilia at the Freemasons’ Hall. There were also splendid dinners held both at the Reform Club and the Fishmongers’ company, the former with Anita Garibaldi attending in person, and finally there was an award ceremony in May of fifteen special Garibaldi medallions to those deemed by a selection committee to have contributed most to bilateral relations in recent years. The awards were given out during a lunch personally Prime Minister Renzi, Kenneth Clarke, Charles de Chassiron and Boris prepared by Giorgio Locatelli, and Johnson at Lancaster House the winners were mainly drawn from the membership of the Mazzini-Garibaldi Club and the Italian Church in Clerkenwell, Lancaster House of the fine plaque and bust of Garibaldi honouring notable individuals associated with charity service.

It has been deemed “ferocious,” “a death-defying linguistic tightrope act,” and a combination of “dark and spiky emotions” in reviews appearing in popular newspapers. Taking the considerable critical investment in the affective dimension of Ferrante’s work as a point of departure, my dissertation examines the representation of emotions in My Brilliant Friend and in two Italian novels written between the 1960s and the 1970s – La Storia (1974, History: A Novel) by Elsa Morante (1912-1985) and L’arte della gioia (The Art of Joy, 1998/2008) by Goliarda Sapienza (1924-1996).

  • Trials and Tribulations: Readings and Misreadings of the Revolutionary Body in French Women Novelists, 1792-1799
    Trials and Tribulations: Readings and Misreadings of the Revolutionary Body in French Women Novelists, 1792-1799. The Revolution! An unutterable word. Who can claim to understand clearly and precisely that set of events, alternatively glorious and deplorable, some of them the fruit of genius and daring, or again, of the most respectable integrity, and others born of the most perverse iniquity. Jeanbon Saint-André, Committee of Public Safety One would be hard pressed to find a more confusing period than that of the French Revolution, a time when the body politic tried to integrate and embody two equally powerful but ostensibly oppositional ideologies of the eighteenth century: sensibility and rationalism. The dramatic and tragic disjunction between the two, the one calling on passion, the other dispassion, resulted in a schizophrenic production of contradictory signs, symbols, discourse and actions during the revolutionary period, coming into sharp focus during the Terror, 1793-1794. For the Revolutionaries, it was not a question of one mode opposing the other, but rather they conceived the two modes along a continuum as one led to, and justified, the other. The philosophical, medical, and literary work on materialism and sensationism earlier in the century and in the years leading up to 1789 set the foundations for this connection. Following J. J. Rousseau, the revolutionary’s aim was to embody reason, virtue and sensibility. The violent acts resulting from the sensibility/rationalism dyad, however, showed up the contradictions inherent in connecting the two. The internal conflict within revolutionary discourse, which proclaimed on the one hand love and compassion for one’s fellow man, and cold hard impartial justice on the other, was subject to heated discussion amongst the revolutionaries whose members tried to negotiate the disjunction; for some, such as St.

Washington, DC 20002 Telephone: 202-547-2900 www.osia.org [email protected] THE ORDER SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF ITALY IN AMERICA 2021 ITALIAN FESTIVAL DIRECTORY This directory lists over 200 Italian festivals held in states around the country. The directory supplies each festival’s name, month, city, state and website. The directory was compiled by the Order Sons and Daughters of Italy in America (OSDIA). This directory is updated annually, but please be advised that there may be slight discrepancies due to availability of updated information provided The custom of honoring favorite saints with outdoor ceremonies was brought to America more than 100 years ago by the early Italian immigrants. The festivals vary in size and character. Some consist of only the saint’s statue, a band and a procession while others are colossal celebrations that last several days and include symphonic bands, entertainers, food stands, rides and fireworks. A familiar sight at most festivals is the saint’s statue covered with money or jewelry, later donated to the local church or saint’s society. The oldest festival is believed to be the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Hammonton, NJ. The biggest festival is the Feast of San Gennaro held every September in New York City, which attracts about one million people. Large festivals can also be found in West Virginia (Wheeling’s Upper Ohio Valley Italian Heritage Festival in July and Clarksburg’s Italian Heritage Festival in September) and in Wisconsin (Milwaukee’s Festa Italiana in July), among others.

  • Italian Films (Updated April 2011)
    Language Laboratory Film Collection Wagner College: Campus Hall 202 Italian Films (updated April 2011): Agata and the Storm/ Agata e la tempesta (2004) Silvio Soldini. Italy The pleasant life of middle-aged Agata (Licia Maglietta) -- owner of the most popular bookstore in town -- is turned topsy-turvy when she begins an uncertain affair with a man 13 years her junior (Claudio Santamaria). Meanwhile, life is equally turbulent for her brother, Gustavo (Emilio Solfrizzi), who discovers he was adopted and sets off to find his biological brother (Giuseppe Battiston) -- a married traveling salesman with a roving eye. Bicycle Thieves/ Ladri di biciclette (1948) Vittorio De Sica. Italy Widely considered a landmark Italian film, Vittorio De Sica's tale of a man who relies on his bicycle to do his job during Rome's post-World War II depression earned a special Oscar for its devastating power. The same day Antonio (Lamberto Maggiorani) gets his vehicle back from the pawnshop, someone steals it, prompting him to search the city in vain with his young son, Bruno (Enzo Staiola). Increasingly, he confronts a looming desperation. Big Deal on Madonna Street/ I soliti ignoti (1958) Mario Monicelli. Italy Director Mario Monicelli delivers this deft satire of the classic caper film Rififi, introducing a bungling group of amateurs -- including an ex-jockey (Carlo Pisacane), a former boxer (Vittorio Gassman) and an out-of-work photographer (Marcello Mastroianni). The crew plans a seemingly simple heist with a retired burglar (Totó), who serves as a consultant. But this Italian job is doomed from the start. Blow up (1966) Michelangelo Antonioni.
