Topic for 2015/16a: “Andiamo in Italia”. An Analysis of Geographical, Cultural and Linguistic Differences. The course is based on the website “Ritorniamo in Italia” produced by Vassar’s Film and Italian Departments. “Ritorniamo” offers extensive geographical, cultural and linguistic information about four Italian cities: Roma, Siena, Venezia, and Bologna. A thorough study of its topics will expand the student’s knowledge of Italian language and culture. Excerpts from novels, essays, newspaper articles, websites, films’ segments will integrate the DVD’s material. During our exploration of the different regions of Italy the student will create his/her own virtual journey, keep a travel log, and regularly report its entries during class conversations.
