The Italian Way Outside of Italy, the countryOCOs culture and its food appear to be essentially synonymous. And indeed, as "The Italian Way" makes clear, preparing, cooking, and eating food play a central role in the daily activities of Italians from all walks of life. In this beautifully illustrated book, Douglas Harper and Patrizia Faccioli present a fascinating and colorful look at the Italian table. a "The Italian Way" focuses on two dozen families in the city of Bologna, elegantly weaving together HarperOCOs outsider perspective with FaccioliOCOs intimate knowledge of the local customs. The authors interview and observe these families as they go shopping for ingredients, cook together, and argue over who has to wash the dishes. Throughout, the authors elucidate the guiding principle of the Italian tableOCoa delicate balance between the structure of tradition and the joy of improvisation. With its bite-sized history of food in Italy, including the five-hundred-year-old story of the countryOCOs cookbooks, and HarperOCOs mouth-watering photographs, "The Italian Way" is a rich repastOCoinsightful, informative, and inviting."
Cultural and Linguistic Policy Abroad: The Italian Experience This book investigates Italian foreign cultural policy from the 1947 Constitution to the present. The analysis reveals two interesting and parallel features: on the one hand the requirement to promote 'high culture' and on the other the need to deal with complex issues relating to emigration. How has this dilemma inherent in Italian foreign cultural policy been dealt with? To what extent has the Italian State confronted these two apparently opposite challenges? The Australian context is used here as an example to show how the dichotomy of migrants versus culture-promotion abroad has gradually been addressed, with a view to a reconciliation which now seems imminent.To get access to library resources from off-campus:
