THE FESTIVAL OF THE ITALIAN REPUBLIC
February 26, 2010
Dear Friends,
The month of June represents an important milestone for Italy, for
all Italians and Italian-Americans as we celebrate the Festival of
the Italian Republic. It has been a few years since the Italian
Community of the Delaware Valley has celebrated this anniversary, so we, the Filitalia International Board of Directors have
decided to organize this event and approved this a year a mandate
to a select committee to study the feasibility of this project. After a
series of studies, logistics and many meetings, the Board of Directors agreed and it has been greeted with great enthusiasm.
As President of Filitalia International I immediately created a
Committee chaired by Maria Di Blasi and Linda Cataldi as its Vice
Chair in charge of directing and organizing this event which will
be held on June 6, 2010. Furthermore it will consist of the members of the Board of Directors and Chapters of Filitalia International,
regional associations and other Italian-American Association of
Delaware Valley, with their directors.
The Italian Consul, Dr. Luigi Scotto, welcomed the initiative and
at the first meeting on January 19, 2010 he was represented by Professor Rita Pasqui, Cultural Attaché at the Consulate General of Philadelphia that assured a full cooperation on behalf of the Consulate.
This will be a huge project and will take a lot of effort and we must
be prepared in every detail and will require a dedicated work force.
The event will take place on Passyunk Avenue in South Philadelphia, the heart of Italians, where the Filitalia Cultural Center is
located.
The earnings, minus operating and organizing expenses, will be
put apart in a separate account, by Filitalia and will be reused in
future years so that the Italian Republic Day is celebrated annually.
I am very happy for the acceptance received thus far by all the
leaders of the regional associations. This gives value to the work
that we all, as associations, are doing to preserve our language,
culture, and most importantly our heritage.
The event will be publicized as follows:
FILITALIA International and The Regional Associations
of ABRUZZESE, CALABRESE, CAMPANIA, MOLISANA,
SICILIANA, plus other Italian & Italian-American Associations
under the auspices of the Consul General of Italy-Philadelphia
and with the cooperation of
COMITES OF PHILADELPHIA

la Festa della Republica Italiana
26 Febbraio 2010
Carissimo Amico(a),
Il mese di giugno rappresenta una tappa importante per l’Italia, per
noi italiani e italo- americani in quanto si celebra la Festa della
Republica Italiana. E` da un po’ di anni che la comunità italiana
del Delaware Valley non festeggia questa ricorrenza per cui noi
della Filitalia International s’è deciso di tentare d’organizzare
questo evento. Infatti il Direttivo da un anno ha approvato e dato
mandato a un comitato ristretto di studiare la fattibilità di questo
progetto. Dopo una serie di studi logistici e tante riunioni, la
risposta e` stata in affermativo ed è stata accolta con grande
entusiasmo.
Come Presidente della Filitalia International ho subito creato
un’apposita Commissione da me presieduta, che avrà in Maria Di
Blasi come Direttore e Linda Cataldi sua Vice il compito di
dirigere ed allestire questo evento che avra` luogo il 6 Giugno
2010. Inoltre ne faranno parte i membri del Direttivo ed i Chapters
della Filitalia International, le Associazioni Regionali ed altre
Associazioni italo-americane della Valle del Delaware, con i
rispettivi direttivi.
Il nostro Console, Dr. Luigi Scotto, ha apprezzato l`iniziativa ed
alla prima riunione del 19 Gennaio 2010 e` stato rappresentato
dalla Prof.ssa Rita Pasqui, Attaché Culturale presso il Consolato
Generale di Filadelfia la quale ci ha garantito la totale
cooperazione del Consolato.
Questo sara` un progetto colossale ed impegnativo che dovra`
essere preparato in tutti i minimi dettagli e che richiederà uno
schieramento di forze non indifferente.
L’evento si svolgera` a Passyunk Avenue, nel Sud di Philadelphia,
il cuore dell’italianità, dove è situato il Centro Culturale della
Filitalia.
I proventi ottenuti, detratte le spese di gestione e d’organizzazione,
saranno custoditi, con voce a parte, dalla Filitalia e verranno riusati
negli anni a venire affinché la Festa della Repubblica Italiana sia
festeggiata ogni anno.
Sono molto lieto delle adesioni finora ricevute da tutti i leaders
delle associazioni regionali. Questo da valore al lavoro che tutti
noi, come associazionismo, stiamo facendo onde salvaguardare la
nostra lingua, cultura e in conseguenza il nostro retaggio.
L’evento sarà propagandato come segue:
LA FILITALIA International e le Associaioni Regionali
ABRUZZESE, CALABRESE, CAMPANIA, MOLISANA,
SICILIANA, e altre Associazioni Italiane e Italo-Americane
sotto gli aspici del Consolato Generale D’italia Di Filadelfia

Filitalia International is a non-profit organization, founded in 1987, to promote and preserve the
Italian heritage, language, and customs throughout the world. The goal of Filitalia International is to
solidify and expand the Italian culture, tradition, and heritage through social and humanitarian
events. We offer many programs including Scholarships for younger members, Italian Language
classes for all, net-working events for young professionals, and cultural events to experience and learn
about the Italian Culture firsthand. Filitalia Foundation is a 501C (3) corporation. Scholarships
awarded annually.
Since its conception in 1987, Filitalia has continued to grow and has reached International status with
20 Chapters in 5 different countries and is ever-expanding. Our entire organization has been built by
the efforts of dedicated volunteers whose love of the Italian Culture has served as a perpetual light to
communities throughout the world. The word ‘FilItalia’ means just that, “Love for Italy”. Our
mission is to protect and preserve the Italian heritage and culture and encourage study of the Italian
language.
Our language classes are taught by qualified native Italian speakers who have a passion for Italy as
well as teaching. The classes are taught throughout the Chapters and at our Center in the heart of
South Philadelphia. The “M.Fabrizio & P.Nestico Center for Language and Culture” is located on
Passyunk Ave and Mifflin Streets. It was opened in 2005 and is the home to our cultural events as
well. We offer a variety of Italian Language Classes to accommodate all levels of learners. Currently
we offer Beginners I, Beginners II, Intermediate, Italian for Tourists, and many one day cultural
classes. Our mission of providing Italian classes to all of society at affordable rates is realized through
our language program at Filitalia International.
We extend our appreciation and gratitude to all Participating Associations and the
Consul of Italy in this large undertaking, a celebration of Italian Republic Day.

(no data on Organization)
Molise is a region of Italy seldom visited by foreigners, but like most of Italy, it offers
some astounding vistas from a hilly region that has a border on the Adriatic.
Our Molise map shows the cities the tourist should visit. The Abruzzo region lies to the
north, Lazio to the west, and Campania and Puglia to the south. The Molise's many
rivers flow from the Apennines to the Adriatic, and the Volturno flows into the
Tyrrhenian Sea after crossing the region of Campania.
Map of Italy's Molise Region
Molise Map © 2007 by James Martin, Europe for Visitors
The regional capitals are Isernia and Campobasso, shown on the Molise map in bold type.
Campobasso is the capital of the Molise and has bus service to some of the smaller villages
nearby. Campobasso is known for its engraved cutlery, its religious procession and festival in
early June, and the National School for Carabinieri. The upper part of town is the older part and
has a couple Romanesque churches and a castle at the top.
Isernia was once the Samnite town of Aesernia and claims to be the first capital of Italy.
Evidence of a Paleolithic village was also found at Isernia and are displayed in a modern
museum.. Today Isernia is famous for its lace and its onions. Isernia has a small historic center,
the highlight of which is the 14th century Fontana Fraterna, made from pieces of Roman ruins.

Campania is a compact region of fertile land, dramatic seascapes (especially on the Amalfi coast), and
ancient cities
Many people shy away from visiting Naples, the capital of Campania, due to its modern reputation. Yet not only has
Naples, or Napoli, been cleaned up recently, but it's a fascinating city in its own right. It's also a starting point for
visiting some of Italy's greatest archaeological treasures, from the amazingly intact Greek "temples" at Paestum, to
the ruins of ancient Roman resorts like Pompeii and Herculaneum. And you won't want to miss the culinary pleasures
of Campania, at one time Rome's breadbasket, from a simple pizza (the best in Italy) to an insalata Caprese with
Buffalo Mozzarella, the real stuff, a cheese that started here (water buffalo were introduced from Asia, and most of
the production occurs in the region of Campania, particularly around Benevento and Casserta).

Sicily Map
Sicily Introduction:
Sicily is a popular Italy travel destination with a volcano,
beaches, mountains, and centuries of history and tradition.
You can explore Mount Etna, swim in the sea, or visit
Phoenician settlements, Punic cities, Roman amphitheaters,
Greek temples, Norman castles and Aragonese churches all
on the Italian island of Sicily.
Sicily Location:
Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, a place
where Africa, Italy and Greece come together. Sicily is
southwest of the Italian mainland and east of Tunisia.
Transportation to Sicily:
Sicily has two main airports, Palermo in the west and
Catania in the east, with flights to and from Italy and other
parts of Europe. Find flights to Palermo or Catania.
The main train line takes you to Sicily from the mainland
along the coast going south from Rome. Ferries connect
Sicily to mainland Italy, Sardinia, Malta, Tunisia, and Egypt.
Sicily map ©2004 by James Martin
Getting Around Sicily:
Buses or trains connect all major cities of Sicily and also go
to many small villages. Some of the train routes are very
scenic but slow. The narrow gauge Circumetnea railroad
circles Mt. Etna stopping at many small villages. There is
transportation from both airports to several locations in
Sicily.
Sicilian Festivals:
February 5 is St. Agatha's Feast Day and the huge festival in Catania includes a 2-day
procession, said to be the second largest religous procession in the world. In February is the
Almond Blossom Festival in Agrigento. Carnevale is celebrated 40 days before Easter,
especially in Taormina and Acireale. Noto holds a flower festival in May.
Holy Week and Ferragosta (Aug 15) are celebrated all over Sicily.
Food and Drink Specialties of Sicily:
Sicily is famous for its pastries, especially its Easter and Christmas desserts. Sicily has an excellent array of raw
materials, including produce and seafood. Fresh fish is often the main course. Citrus fruits and almonds are used in
much of Sicily's cuisine. Pasta with eggplant is common. There is also some North African influence.
Performing Arts in Sicily:
Palermo's Opera House, Teatro Massimo, is one of Europe's finest and has year-round performances of opera, ballet,
and music. Palermo also holds a performing arts festival in January. During the summer, Taormina's Greek Theater
holds theater, opera, movie, and music performances. Siracusa holds its famous puppet shows in the Teatro dell'opera
dei Puppi.
•
Sicily Attractions:
Cefalu is a popular seaside town east of Palermo with beautiful beaches and scenery, museums, and historical
monuments. From the top of La Rocca, there are great views of the city and second-century BC Temple of Diana.
•
Mount Etna is Europe's largest live volcano and one of the most active in the world. The lower slopes have
walking paths with good views while you can ski on the higher slopes in winter (see Italy Skiing).
•
Marsala is the heart of Sicily's wine-producing region. It also has a Roman archaeological site and museum
and a historic quarter.
•
Palermo is a lively city with a fascinating central market and many historic monuments. Palermo's
Archaeological museum has a good colletction of Greek relics.
•
Ragusa and nearby Modica, Scicli, and Noto are beautiful Baroque towns and UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Ragusa has a stunning old town. Ragusa Travel Guide
•
Siracusa, on the southeast coast, has more classical ruins and a Greek theater. Its also a good place for
shopping and eating. Siracusa holds a big festival for Santa Lucia Day in December. (see December Events)
Syracuse Travel Guide
•
Taormina is an attractive holiday resort with a beautiful Greek theater still used for summer performances.
Lying on the slopes of Mt. Tauro, it has great views of the coast and Mt. Etna. It's also a good place for shopping
and visiting beaches. Taormina Visitors Guide

Italy Begins Preparations For 150th Birthday
In anticipation of the 150° anniversario Unita d'Italia (Italy was unified in 1861),
Comitato Italia 150 has begun preparations for a series of events highlighting Italian
culture, sports, and entertainment. From March to November Torino, the first capital of
the nation, will host four large exhibitions.
2011: l’Italia compie 150 anni
Nel 1861, dopo le guerre contro gli Austriaci e conclusa la spedizione di
Garibaldi in Sicilia, termina il lungo periodo di lotta politica e militare che
conduce l’Italia all’unificazione. Il 17 marzo di quell’anno a Torino viene
proclamata l’unità nazionale e la città diventa la prima capitale d’Italia.
Durante il Risorgimento aveva accolto tutti gli esuli che, giunti da ogni parte
della penisola, avevano maturato una comune aspirazione unitaria e qui era
stata elaborata la strategia politica che avrebbe portato all’unificazione.
La nuova storia dell’Italia, indipendente e unita, parte quindi da Torino il 17
marzo di un secolo e mezzo fa.
La città resta capitale per quattro anni, fino al 1865, quando la centralità del
governo del Regno si sposta a Firenze. La sede viene stabilita a Roma a
partire dal 1871, quando l’unificazione del Paese è ormai definitivamente
completata.
Nel 1911 e nel 1961, in occasione del Cinquantenario e del Centenario
dell'unificazione nazionale, Torino torna ad essere il centro del Paese: le
grandiose celebrazioni che vi si tengono per i due anniversari attraggono
oltre 6 milioni di visitatori ciascuna.
Nel 2011 l'Italia compie 150 anni e anche questa volta Torino festeggerà
l’anniversario con un grande evento.
Esperienza Italia
150 ANNI DI STORIA, 9 MESI DI FESTA
Da marzo a novembre 2011 la prima capitale vi aspetta con quattro grandi
mostre e un programma straordinario di cultura, sport e spettacoli.
Tutto il meglio dell’Italia, in una sola città, per nove mesi di emozioni.

ITALIAN AMERICAN WOMEN
TRAIL BLAZERS
Italian American women have led the way for women
in business, politics, labor and many other fields.
The first American saint was Mother Frances Cabrini, who founded the
Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart and recruited over 4,000 sisters to aid
her efforts. Mother Cabrini founded 14 American colleges, 98 schools, 28
orphanages and eight hospitals. She emigrated to the U.S. in 1889 and
became a U.S. citizen in 1909. She died in 1917 and canonized in 1946.
The first woman to run for national office was Geraldine Ferraro, who was
the Democratic candidate for vice president in 1984. Mrs. Ferraro also served
in Congress, representing a district in Queens, New York, from 1979 to 1985.
The first woman ever elected governor in her own right was Ella T. Grasso
of Connecticut. Born in 1919, Ella Grasso was elected to U.S. House of
Representatives in 1970. According to the Library of Congress, Mrs. Grasso
was also the first Italian American woman elected to Congress. She served
until 1975 when she was elected governor of Connecticut. She brought the
state out of debt, personally organized a massive relief effort during a 1978
blizzard , and created an "open government," which gave ordinary citizens
easier access to public records. Ella Grasso died of cancer in 1981 at age 62.
In 1998, Patricia Fili-Krushel became the president of ABC Television and
the first woman ever to head a major network.

advocate, she was born in Pennsylvania where her father worked in a silk
mill. Dr. De Angelis became JAMA editor in 2000.
Penny Marshall (nee Carole Penny Masciarelli) has made a remarkable
transition from star of the hit TV series Laverne & Shirley to one of the few
women directors in Hollywood. Her second film, Big in 1988 made her the
first woman director in American history to direct a film that earned $100
million. Her other films include Jumping Jack Flash, Awakenings, and A
League of Their Own.
The first American singer to perform at New York's famed Metropolitan
Opera House without European training was Rosa Ponselle. Born Rosa
Ponzillo in Connecticut, "the Cinderella of Opera," made her debut at the Met
in 1918 when she was 21 in Verdi's La Forza del Destino, opposite Enrico
Caruso after being discovered in vaudeville. She played over 20 roles in her
19-year career at the Met, retiring in 1936 to marry and teach. She died in
1981 at age 83.
Mary Lou Retton was the first American woman gymnast ever to win a gold
medal. At the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, Retton, then age 16, won a
total of five medals. In 1985, she became the youngest inductee to the U.S.
Olympic Committee Hall of Fame.
At age 24, Bonnie Tiburzi became the first woman pilot in commercial
aviation history. She was hired by American Airlines in 1973. Her book
Takeoff, tells her story.

woman who worked in a shirtwaist factory in New York, organized the
International Ladies' Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) in New York and
Maryland. She was elected vice president of the ILGWU in 1956, becoming
the first woman to penetrate the all-male leadership of the ILGWU. She
retired in 1972.
California has a children's and maternity ward in every county hospital,
thanks to "Dr. Crusade," Mariana Bertola, M.D. A teacher, obstetrician,
political activist and social reformer in the early 20th century, Dr. Bertola was
active in progressive political reform movements, founded women's clubs
and settlement houses and lobbied to include maternity and children's wards

100,000 members.
In 1974, Betty Della Corte established one of the first battered women's
shelter and treatment programs in the nation. Her Faith House Agencies in
Glendale, Arizona have helped more than 30,000 women and children. Born

during the 1920s and 30s. The coins are now valued at about $100 each. [ Her
husband, Antonio de Francisi was the coin's engraver. He emigrated from
Palermo in 1903 at age 16.]
Maria Botto and her husband, Pietro opened their home in Haledon, New
Jersey to 25,000 silk mill workers during the 1913 Paterson Silk Strike. The
strike helped lay the groundwork for the eight-hour work day and better
conditions for American workers. Today their 12-room Victorian is the
American Labor Museum/Botto House, a national landmark.
Artist Georgia O'Keeffe was of Italian descent. Her mother was Ida Totto
and the artist was named for her maternal grandfather, Giorgio Totto, who

Why Learn Italian?
From Michael San Filippo http://italian.about.com/
Maybe you fell in love with the rolling hills of Tuscany on
your first visit to il bel paese—or maybe you fell in love with
an Italian! Maybe your grandparents emigrated from Italy,
so you want to investigate your family history. Perhaps
you're an aspiring musician who wants to learn what adagio,
allegro, and andante mean, or an opera singer who wants to
improve her pronunciation. Or you heard that it's easier to
learn Italian as opposed to English.
For all these reasons and more, you've decided to learn
Italian, improve on what lessons you've already taken, or
formalize those rudimentary phrases you've been speaking
when traveling to Italy.
No matter what your motivation—the opportunity to work
overseas, cultural exchange in a land steeped in history
and culture, researching your genealogy, or studying other
topics such as Italian literature or art history—you can
discover new worlds when learning Italian.
So raise a glass of Montepulciano and congratulate
yourself on embarking on a new adventure. Buon viaggio!

Michele Novarro Music
Il Canto degli Italiani
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adopted October 12, 1946 (de facto)
November 17, 2005 (de jure)
l Canto degli Italiani (The Chant of the Italians) is the
Italian national anthem. It is best known among Italians
as L'Inno di Mameli (Mameli's Hymn) and often
referred to as Fratelli d'Italia (Brothers of Italy), from
its opening line.
The origins…..
The words were written in the autumn of 1847 in Genoa,
by the then 20-year-old student and patriot Goffredo
Mameli, in a climate of popular struggle for unification
and independence of Italy which foreshadowed the war
against Austria. Two months later, they were set to
music in Turin by another Genoese, Michele Novaro. The
hymn enjoyed widespread popularity throughout the
period of the Risorgimento and in the following decades.
After unification (1861) the adopted national anthem was
the Marcia Reale, the Royal March (or Fanfara Reale),
official hymn of the royal house of Savoy composed in
1831 to order of Carlo Alberto di Savoia. Marcia Reale
remained national anthem until the birth of the republic.
Giuseppe Verdi, in his Inno delle Nazioni (Hymn of the
Nations), composed for the London International
Exhibition of 1862, chose Il Canto degli Italiani – and
not the Marcia Reale – to represent Italy, putting it
beside God Save the Queen and the Marseillaise.
In 1946 Italy became a republic, and on October 12,
1946, Il Canto degli Italiani was provisionally chosen
as the country's new national anthem. This choice was
made official in law only on November 17, 2005,
almost 60 years later.
The first manuscript of the poem is preserved at the
Istituto Mazziniano in Genoa, appears in a personal
copybook of the poet, where he collected notes, thoughts
and other writings. Of uncertain dating, the manuscript
reveals anxiety and inspiration at the same time.
The second manuscript is the copy that Mameli sent to
Novaro for setting it to music. It shows a much steadier
handwriting, fixes misspellings and has a significant
modification: the incipit is "Fratelli d'Italia". This copy is
in Museo del Risorgimento in Turin.
The hymn was also printed on leaflets in Genoa. The
Istituto Mazziniano has a copy of these, with hand
annotations by Mameli himself. These leaflets were to be
distributed on the December 10 demonstration, in Genoa.
December 10, 1847 was a historical day for Italy: the
demonstration was officially dedicated to the 101st
anniversary of the popular rebellion which led to the
expulsion of the Austrian powers from the city; in fact it
was an excuse to protest against foreign occupations in
Italy and induce Carlo Alberto to embrace the Italian
cause of liberty. In this occasion the tricolor flag was
shown and the Mameli's hymn was publicly sung for the
first time. After December 10 the hymn spread all over
the Italian peninsula, brought by the same patriots that
participated to the Genoa demonstration.
