Stefano Albertini on Italian-Americans and Food on “Italics”

Italics, Television for the Italian American Experience is a monthly presentation in the CUNY Presents timeslot that features prominent Italian Americans in the arts, business, government, sports, academia, and more. Each episode explores various aspects of the Italian diaspora, Italian-American history and traditions, contemporary Italian-American life, and takes a projected look at the future of the Italian-American community.

In this episode, Dr. Stefano Albertini, Clinical Professor of Italian in New York University’s Department of Italian and Director of its Casa Italiana, and Rossella Rago, host of the popular web TV series “Cooking with Nonna” discuss the notion of what constitutes “Real” and Non-“Real” Italians, a discussion that is long overdue, some might say.
