What’s the secret to lasting friendships? How does queer community show up through the ebbs and flows of life? And what’s the REAL story behind the “YMCA” song? In the first episode of Silver Linings, The Old Gays dive into an essential part of queer life: chosen family. They discuss the vital love, support, and sense of belonging that community provides, especially during life's toughest moments. They open up about what “queer” means to them, how chosen family has impacted their lives, and how to maintain close bonds over time–including their love for each other! “We’ve come a long way, baby.” Family isn’t just what you’re born with; it’s the people who show up, shape you, and stick around.

La Grande Famiglia and & Creativity of World War II Italian POWs in the US 58:10

8 hari yang lalu58:10

58:10

This week on The Italian Radio Hour - In the 1950s, a New York radio station created ‘La grande famiglia’, a program for Italian Americans sponsored by a Progresso tomato company. The mechanism was simple, but ingenious: in exchange for ten labels as proof of purchase, a correspondent would go and record the voices of relatives in Italy. In a world without a telephone, the thirteen seasons of the show represented, for many people, the only link between their loved ones and their homeland. In 2022, Cristiano, the author of the podcast, discovered that in America there were thousands of records with recordings of the broadcast, sent as a souvenir by the radio station to the participating families. Thus began a search that reconnected the threads of personal and collective memories, starting from an extraordinary sound archive.Today, I am joined by two leading scholars in Italian American studies: Prof. Joseph Sciorra, folklorist and Director of Academic and Cultural Programs at the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute, and Prof. Laura E. Ruberto, cultural historian and professor at Berkeley City College. Both have made lasting contributions to the study of migration, memory, material culture, and identity within the Italian American experience.With their numerous publications and continuous collaborations, Ruberto ad Sciorra are helping us listen differently to the Italian American past—and understand how everyday voices shape collective heritage.In addition to talking about the significance of La Grande Famiglia, Joseph and Laura describe their jointly curated exhibition at the Calandra Institute entitled: “CREATIVITY and WORLD WAR II Italian P-O-Ws in the United States”, which presents creative work made by Italian soldiers who were imprisoned by the Allied forces during World War II, focusing on those held in the United States. These objects, often made from salvaged materials, ranged in size from a small inlaid ring to a large Catholic chapel with a 65-foot bell tower. There is no archive or collective depository about World War II Italian prisoners of war in Allied hands. To document this creative work, the exhibit pulls from research completed by co-curator Laura E. Ruberto (Berkeley City College), including historical photographs, rare remaining artifacts, oral testimonies, written accounts, family memories, and private collections. The exhibition, designed by Polly Franchini, brings together a selection of these objects, images, and stories to present this little-known history. Highlighting the artistry of incarcerated Italian servicemen (some of whom maintained allegiance to Fascism) is not meant to trivialize the atrocities of war or to minimize the resistance of those who fought at great sacrifice. Rather, it offers an opportunity to reflect on the myriad ways that identity and imagination are shaped materially during the adverse conditions of war.…

15 hari yang lalu58:28

58:28

This week on The Italian Radio Hour - "Only in America could the son of an uneducated carpenter receive the Nobel Prize in Medicine". This is how Dr. Louis Ignarro, Nobel Prize Laureate for his research on Nitric Oxide premises his interview when asked if anyone is his family was a scientist, doctor, a pharmacist or else.On Oct 12, 1998 at noon, while boarding a plane from NY to go to Naples to present at a conference, he receives a call from a friend. The call is shortly after aborted by a demanding flight attendant: "Sir, we need to take off".What was the content of the phone call? Did Dr. Ignarro realize that it would change the rest of his life?Not only, did Dr. Ignarro receive the Nobel prize but his research was also at the base of a drug for erectile dysfunction that eventually, also earned his the nickname of "The Father of Viagra", a nickname that he got accustomed to but one that his Sicilian mother didn't really appreciate.In his 80s, Dr. Ignarro is the testament of a healthy and happy live, sharing his secret but not so secret "recipe" based on science and clearly explained in his publications "Dr. NO - The Discovery that Led to a Nobel Prize and Viagra (where "NO" cleverly stands for Nitric Oxide") and "NO more heart diseases" both available on Amazon.Fun Fact n. 1: Dr. Ignarro is also proud of holding the title of being the only Nobel Prize Laureate with a Model Railroad, a hobby that he shared with his father from the age of 8.Fun fact n. 2: The Nobel Prizes are awarded in Stockholm on December 10th, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death in 1896. Fun Fact: Every December 10th, I celebrate my being awarded the Nobel Prize with a glass of Dom Pérignon Champagne.To learn more about Dr. Ignarro's work and publications: https://www.drignarro.com/…

Digital Preservation of Volterra (TUSCANY) with Mark Dietrick 51:31

This week on The Italian Radio Hour - What would happen if a landslide suddenly destroyed part of an ancient city and its immense patrimony? Join me in this fascinating conversation is Mark Dietrick Director of Services of Case Technologies. Since 2016, Case Technologies along with Volterra-Detroit Foundation and Autodesk have been working in Volterra, (Tuscany) with experts in 3D reality capture technology, aerial and ground-based photogrammetry to record the city’s archaeological sites and artefacts. Volterra is a historic hilltop town in Tuscany, Italy, renowned for its ancient charm, rich history, and stunning vistas. Here's a closer look at the city: Historical Significance • Etruscan Origins: Volterra dates back to the 8th century BCE and was an important center of the Etruscan civilization. Remnants of this era include the Etruscan walls, gates, and the Acropolis, which houses ancient temple ruins. • Roman Influence: During Roman times, Volterra flourished, evidenced by landmarks like the Roman Theater, built in the 1st century BCE. • Medieval Heritage: In the Middle Ages, the city became a center for art, trade, and religion. The Palazzo dei Priori, built in 1208, is one of Italy's oldest civic buildings and a testament to this period. This collaborative group is made up of architects, surveyors, 3D specialists, engineers, and historians from different organizations and countries. The long-term objective is to create a complete digital document of Volterra’s sites using 3D tools and methodologies, to preserve these assets digitally and improve both archaeological and architectural research.
