Sons of Italy in America

Movie Spotlight: Fellini’s La Dolce Vita 🇮🇹🎬 Federico Fellini’s La Dolce Vita (1960) is a timeless masterpiece that captures the Italian spirit in all its complexity. The film follows Marcello Rubini, a journalist played by Marcello Mastroianni, as he navigates the decadence and emptiness of Rome's high society. Marcello’s journey, filled with fleeting pleasures and existential questioning, perfectly mirrors the film's exploration of Italy’s cultural contradictions—indulgence, passion, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.

Bolognese: A Taste of Italy's Rich History 🇮🇹🍝 Ragù alla bolognese is a rich, hearty meat sauce that originates from Bologna, Italy. Its roots trace back to the late 18th century, and it was likely created as a dish for the poveri (the poor), using inexpensive, readily available ingredients like ground meat, vegetables, and wine. Over time, the dish evolved, becoming a staple in Italian homes and restaurants worldwide.
