Representations of Italy in USA, webinar by Filitalia
When people meet with different cultures, they start a process of con-sciousness that leads them to confront and to open themselves not only to the others but, often to their own identities (Arendt 1989, Barth 1969). In this insightful observation, Marro (2019) helps us that to reflect on the fact that the representation of Italians in the United States of America and abroad is very much linked to the way Italians define themselves and choose to represent their “Italian-ness” to others. Filitalia International&Foundation invites you to this process of discovery through movies, songs, advertisements, local festivities and the multiple means through which the “Italian-ness” has been built, portrayed, and reinvented in the past as well as in the present time, paying tribute to the generations of Italians who have brought Italy to America and created new lives here.

Angela was born and raised in Italy, and has more than twenty years of experience as an instructor of Italian language and culture. As member of Filitalia, she organizes meeting on Cisco, Google Meet and Skype, about the Italian culture and traditions. This time she will introduce you representations of Italy in USA. Angela left Italy in 1990, and became an United States citizen in 2004.
