As part of the 2020 series Women in Comedy dedicated to Franca Valeri, Laura Caparrotti meets Gina Barreca and Maria DeCotis, two comedians from different generations of Italian Americans. What makes them laugh and how do they make us laugh? And how much does their Italian-American-ess play in their comedy?

In ENGLISH.

Tutti a Casa! Live Chats About All Things Italian is the new radio-style, web-based talk show that Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò and the Department of Italian Studies at NYU are launching to bring into your homes the voices and flavors of live and entertaining talks around Italian matters that really matter: arts, movies, literature, politics, and a lot more.

This is our way to keep our community connected and continue to learn new things together in these times of challenge and pain, but also of opportunity. A new way to be together, and engaged on a common track of learning and discovery.
