A Defining Characteristic of the Writing of Matilde Serao Is Her Reliance On
7 Valentini:0Syrimis 2/12/10 3:00 PM Page 129 FOOD AND ANTHROPOLOGY IN THE EARLY WORKS OF MATILDE SERAO DARIA VALENTINI Summary: Food has long been considered by anthropologists to be an integral part of self-representation, culture, and identity. The present study investigates the early works of Matilde Serao, focusing on food imagery and culinary customs of the city of Naples. Serao’s fiction and journalistic production reveal a socio-anthropological approach that emphasizes food’s importance within familial and community life. By incorporating documentary and autobiographical elements, the writer offers a unique perspective on the city of Naples and its identity in the late nineteenth century. As we will see, the depiction of food as a socio- anthropological construct serves as an effective means to convey impor - tant concerns regarding society and history at large, thereby contextual - izing Serao’s original place within women’s writing in Italy. A defining characteristic of the writing of Matilde Serao is her reliance on food imagery and culinary practice within a specific cross-section of Italian society in post-unification Italy, namely the city of Naples. Readers of her works are not soon to forget the passionate and vivid depiction of the manner in which food is consumed and enjoyed, the inventive art of Neapolitan cuisine, and the challenges faced by working class families to put food on the table. Food imagery is essential to the representation of the human experience throughout Serao’s works. Her obvious familiarity with food, its preparation and significance for individuals, families, and society at large, endows her fiction with a quality that is unique among the many social realists who preceded her.

Bergenfield Candy Maker Is Marzipan Man Page 1 of 4
Bergenfield candy maker is Marzipan Man Page 1 of 4 N.J. News Crisis Coverage Metro Bergenfield candy maker is Politics Nation/World Marzipan Man Business Obituaries Monday, December 10, 2001 Education Health Technology By JAY LEVIN Columnists Staff Writer Editorials Other Views Once in a rare while comes a person who does something almost no one Margulies cartoon The Wire else does, makes something almost no one else makes, and shrugs off the suggestion that this qualifies him as special. Bergen County Passaic County Gunter Schott is such a fellow. Morris County Community Neighbors Gunter makes marzipan, the almond confection beloved in his native Germany but scarcely known on these shores. Every day, Gunter sets out before dawn for his nondescript little candy factory on South Washington Avenue in Bergenfield, where almond paste waits to be mixed and stamped and colored into brightly colored fruit shapes, animal shapes, and fish shapes, to name the most popular, and then boxed or wrapped. His company is called Bergen Marzipan and Chocolate, but the chocolate is almost an afterthought. Marzipan is the 71-year-old's livelihood and love, the reason he spends more than half the hours in a day toiling amid 50-pound sacks of sugar and 50-pound blocks of almond paste. Such commitment for a product that seldom passes its maker's lips. "I'm not much of a candy eater," says Gunter, who learned to make marzipan as a kid working in a Stuttgart pastry shop. "But a good piece of cake, I don't mind." Dainty works of art, marzipan candies -- especially those in fruit shapes -- resemble refrigerator magnets.
