Film Documentary: “Ancient Cities of Rome” Sunday, September 27 at 2:00 pm Admission $10 - at the Italian Center, Carmichael The Roman Empire was the largest and most enduring of the classical world. In a time of frequent invasions and competition among warring tribes, the ancient cities of the Roman Empire stood as pillars of strength, beauty and sophistication. Across the empire, these cities provided ground for a flourish of cultural activity among the diverse civilizations brought together under Roman law. Discover why the Romans endured over other preceding cultures, such as the Greeks and Etruscans, how the Roman architecture and art was influenced by these preceding societies, and what features of our own modern cities we owe to the ingenuity of the Romans! REFRESHMENTS INCLUDED Capito! Italians and the Development of Martinez” Lecture by Author Kristin Hendersen Sunday, October 25 at 2:00 pm Admission $10 - at the Italian Center, Carmichael Italians, mainly Sicilians, played an important role in the development of the east bay town of Martinez, and Kristin Henderson noticed this rich history could easily slip away. In 2009 local political forces, for reasons of financing a HUD complex, falsely asserted that the old Italian neighborhood had no historic value. After five years of research and writing, CAPITO!: Italians and the Development of Martinez was published to support having the Italian neighborhood listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The settlement of Martinez by Italian fishermen from Italy is an important part of the California Italian experience. From an immigrant past to a vibrant and rich community, the Italian American experience in this small San Francisco Bay town deserves to be preserved. Martinez was also the birthplace of Joe DiMaggio, the son of a Sicilian immigrant fisherman. The city is currently working on a statue of their local hero. Take a timeless journey with us through the old Little Italy via its current architecture and photographs and memories of the past as Kristin shares a visual presentation that truly captures the topography and history so richly inuenced by Italian immigrants, their memories, photographs and love of their upbringing in and around the shorelines of Downtown Martinez. REFRESHMENTS INCLUDED Meet the Author: Diane Hales “Mona Lisa, A Life Discovered” Sunday, November 8 at 2:00 pm Admission $10 - at the Italian Center, Carmichael No face is more famous; no work of art, more acclaimed. But who was the Florentine woman who rose to extraordinary fame as Leonardo da Vinci’s model? How did she live? What became of her? And why does her smile enchant us still? Intrigued by recent research confirming the identity of Mona (Madame) Lisa Gherardini del Giocondo, best-selling author Dianne Hales devoted years to a personal quest for the flesh-and-blood woman in the world’s most praised and parodied painting. The result is MONA LISA: A Life Discovered, acclaimed as “cultural history that reads like a detective novel.” This blend of biography, history and memoir was chosen as a Best Book of 2014 by amazon.com as well as a top pick of CNN, the BBC, USA TODAY and other major news outlets. Prize wining author Diane Hales returns to the Italian Center with her new book about the life of Mona Lisa. Diane has been honored by the Italian government for her popular biography of the Italian language, La Bella Lingua, previously presented at the Italian Center. Her books will be available for signing and purchase.
