Book excerpt: From the early 1900's both the Pennito and Ciarpella families have crisscrossed the Atlantic Ocean searching for a better life for themselves and their children. During their lives they witnessed the great depression, survived the ravages of the Spanish Influenza, escaped from Nazi imprisonment, assisted the Allied occupation of their Italian town and struggled to survive post war Italy. They came to the United States as immigrants trying to adjust to a radically different culture, the severe New England climate and tasteless tomatoes. Some would decide that the Promised Land was not easily endured and those few would return to their roots in the small hill top town of Sessa Aurunca. Thankfully, my parents remained to realize a better life not only for themselves but also for their children.

Book excerpt: Imagine suddenly leaving a comfortable and successful job in exchange for a year of living and working in Italy. You book a flight with no definite idea of where you'll live or work, no visa and no work permit. Further imagine taking your wife and two distinctly unenthusiastic teen daughters with you. Your colleagues begin to doubt your mental balance, and you can't blame them. Yet somehow this family learned to work, study, speak, shop and survive in a foreign land while stumbling their way through the delicious process of learning to live like Italians--all ‟without papers." Along the way, the author impersonates an Italian cousin, gets his family lost innumerable times and meets his own personal version of the godfather--the man who hired him and gave him an apartment. The teen daughters struggle to find themselves while attending school by day and exploring young adult nightclubs into the early morning hours--while family members fight to work out their differences. In the tradition of Under the Tuscan Sun and Italian Neighbors, the travel memoir An American Family in Italy will appeal to families of all ages seeking adventure, challenge, a fresh start or a chance to embrace their inner Italian.

Book Synopsis Italian Family Structure by : Nicholas J. Esposito
Download or read book Italian Family Structure written by Nicholas J. Esposito and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1989 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This uniquely comprehensive study of the Italian family first conceptualizes family structure as a complex topic involving historical, political, economic, sociological, and psychological variables. It relates national and regional statistics to information from two families comprised of some one hundred fifty households. Esposito supports the hypothesis that at least from the late eighteen hundreds to the early nineteen eighties the Italian family was extended. The extendedness of the Italian family affected not only the economics and politics of Italy, but also the migration and assimilation of Italians into host countries.

Book Synopsis Texts in Transit in the Medieval Mediterranean by : Y. Tzvi Langermann
Download or read book Texts in Transit in the Medieval Mediterranean written by Y. Tzvi Langermann and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays studies the movement of texts in the Mediterranean basin in the medieval period from historical and philological perspectives. Rejecting the presumption that texts simply travel without changing, the contributors examine closely the nature of these writings, which are concerned with such topics as science and medicine, and how they changed over the course of their journeys. Transit and transformation give texts new subtexts and contexts, providing windows through which to study how memory, encryption, oral communication, cultural and religious values, and knowledge traveled and were shared, transformed, and preserved. This volume broadens how we think about texts, communication, and knowledge in the medieval world. Aside from the editors, the contributors are Mushegh Asatryan, Brian N. Becker, Leonardo Capezzone, Leigh Chipman, Ofer Elior, Zohar Hadromi-Allouche, B. Harun Küçük, Israel M. Sandman, and Tamás Visi.
Book Synopsis Nonno, Tell Us a Story by : Pietrantonio Lombardi
Download or read book Nonno, Tell Us a Story written by Pietrantonio Lombardi and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-07 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonno, Tell us a Story by Pietrantonio Lombardi is a delightful memoir of a young boy's life begun in the postwar Molise region of Italy and transformed when he immigrates to the United States just as he reaches adolescence. Real life episodes, from the town of Pagliarone/Villa San Michele to the city of Denver, are set against a backdrop of Italy's history, art, folklore, and sports world. Often poignant and more often humorous, this portrait of family love throughout its struggles and successes in two worlds is as different from other books of this type as are the people who live and write about them. If you love Italian as well as Italian- American culture, this is a must read that will be hard to put down
Download or read book The Good Mothers written by Alex Perry and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES The electrifying, untold story of the women born into the most deadly and obscenely wealthy of the Italian mafias – and how they risked everything to bring it down. The Calabrian Mafia—known as the ’Ndrangheta—is one of the richest and most ruthless crime syndicates in the world, with branches stretching from America to Australia. It controls seventy percent of the cocaine and heroin supply in Europe, manages billion-dollar extortion rackets, brokers illegal arms deals—supplying weapons to criminals and terrorists—and plunders the treasuries of both Italy and the European Union. The ’Ndrangheta’s power derives from a macho mix of violence and silence—omertà. Yet it endures because of family ties: you are born into the syndicate, or you marry in. Loyalty is absolute. Bloodshed is revered. You go to prison or your grave and kill your own father, brother, sister, or mother in cold blood before you betray The Family. Accompanying the ’Ndrangheta’s reverence for tradition and history is a violent misogyny among its men. Women are viewed as chattel, bargaining chips for building and maintaining clan alliances and beatings—and worse—are routine. In 2009, after one abused ’Ndrangheta wife was murdered for turning state’s evidence, prosecutor Alessandra Cerreti considered a tantalizing possibility: that the ’Ndrangheta’s sexism might be its greatest flaw—and her most effective weapon. Approaching two more mafia wives, Alessandra persuaded them to testify in return for a new future for themselves and their children. A feminist saga of true crime and justice, The Good Mothers is the riveting story of a high-stakes battle pitting a brilliant, driven woman fighting to save a nation against ruthless mafiosi fighting for their existence. Caught in the middle are three women fighting for their children and their lives. Not all will survive.
