First 4 SATURDAYS of MARCH from 10:00 am to noon (PST) ON ZOOM – IN ITALIAN
Sabato 6 marzo – Questioni di metodo. Perché il cibo è cultura? Possiamo parlare di vero e falso in cucina? Come si inventano le tradizioni? Nella prima lezione risponderemo a queste e altre domande di metodo.
Sabato 13 marzo – – Breve storia della cucina italiana. Il concetto di cucina italiana come la conosciamo oggi è piuttosto recente. In questa lezione indagheremo sui tratti costanti della cucina italiana dal Medioevo a oggi, e come si è arrivati a creare il modello di cucina regionale moderno.
Sabato 20 marzo – La pasta al pomodoro, la storia inaspettata di un simbolo. La pasta al pomodoro è percepita come il piatto tipico italiano per eccellenza, ma da quanto tempo e’ presente sulle tavole degli italiani? Qual è la storia dei suoi ingredienti?
Sabato 27 marzo – Il cibo nell’arte. Sebbene considerato da molti un soggetto di poco conto, il cibo è in realtà un soggetto artistico fin dalla notte dei tempi. In questa lezione faremo un viaggio nella storia dell’arte che va dall’antica Roma a Caravaggio, da Carracci a Arcimboldo, esplorando il ruolo e l’evoluzione del cibo nell’arte.
Food is essential to our survival & it is a constant in our lives. Therefore, through the history of food we can explore the history & evolution of humankind. This interactive four-lesson course deals with Italian history & culture using the lens of food studies.Through food we can discuss politics, linguistics, sociology, anthropology, economy, arts, technology & much more. Italian cuisine is renowned & appreciated worldwide. We all know how much Italians love talking about food & how they often express their patriotism through their local cuisine. During the course we will try to understand why this is the case, and, in the process, demystify some common stereotypes & clichés.

In the early 20th century, a new wave of European immigrants made its way to Québec and to Montréal. Among them were thousands of Italians who brought with them their traditions, their values, and their customs, going on to form one of the oldest and largest immigrant cultural communities in Montréal.
Showcasing the community’s important contribution to economic, social, and cultural life in Montréal—as well as its ingenuity, talent, and resilience—Pointe-à-Callière, thanks to the support of the IIC, is presenting the exhibition Italian Montréal. This exhibition will shine a spotlight on the daily lives of Montréal’s earliest Italian immigrants and on the ways in which the community has evolved over the past century—with a quarter of a million Montrealers today describing themselves as having Italian roots.

This lecture explores the associations between his ideology, his reinvention of the Olivetti company town of Ivrea in northern Italy & Programma 101.

The Italian Institute of Culture in Montreal and the Department of Veterinary Sciences of the University of Turin are pleased to present the webinar series entitled “And Man met the horse”. The horse has followed the life of men and civilizations, since the dawn of time. Originally from the Eurasian steppe, at first it provided man with meat, milk and skins and only in the metal age did it become a protagonist among draft animals and prince for horse riding, marking memorable moments in military and sporting history. His part in literature and art has always been central, that of the noble animal, reflecting the interests and passions of peoples. The figurative arts have represented its beauty in every age: from the equine figures left by primitives on the walls of prehistoric caves to the horses of the admirable equestrian monuments of the Italian Renaissance.
The webinar series “And Man met the horse”, created with Prof. Domenico Bergero, Director of the Department of Veterinary Sciences of the University of Turin, develops in a program rich in scientific, cultural, historical- artistic, sports… and many other curiosities: all entrusted to the words and knowledge of Italian scientists and scholars.
