Gaetano Cipolla of ARBA SICULA presents his new book

(If you decide to go, RSVP here on this website and then let the museum know also!!!!) [We can eat after in Little Italy!]

Dear Members of Arba Sicula,

I will present my new book at the Italian-American Museum on Thursday, March 28 at 6:30 PM. If you intend to come to this event, I urge you to call and reserve a seat because the place has limited seating.

If you cannot make it for this event, I will be talking about the book and other things at the Center for Italian Studies at SUNY Stony Brook on April 19 at 7:00 PM. Refreshments will be served after this event.

I take the opportunity to tell you that our 19th tour of Sicily is set to go. We will have forty people going. I will also mention that Sicilia Parra is going to be published shortly.

Best regards to all of you.

LEARN SICILIAN / 'MPARAMU LU SICILIANU

Presented by Prof. Gaetano Cipolla

This is the first comprehensive course in Sicilian designed ideally as a classroom textbook, but it will meet the needs of those who wish to learn the language by themselves. This book represents a total departure from other Sicilian grammars written in Sicily or in the United States, because it is not a reference book, but a teaching tool, created to develop a good Sicilian pronunciation and gain command of the language as well as of the culture of the island. The book contains readings on customs and traditions of Sicily, information on the major cities, on Sicilian poets and writers, attractions and daily living, as well as Sicilian proverbs, sayings and even tongue twisters. In short, the book is a complete course on Sicilian language and culture that all Sicilians and Sicilian Americans ought to own. The readings are very funny, easily understood, and very informative. They are written by Professor Gaetano Cipolla who has devoted his career to promoting a better understanding and appreciation of his homeland.
