WWI and the growth of the #coffee industry in Italy | #italianinnovators #shorts #lavazza

As Lavazza’s business expanded, with its 40 employees and the additional involvement of Luigi’s three sons Mario, Beppe, and Pericle, the outbreak of WWI marked an unexpected rupture or occasion for maturity. In one way, the war forced the store to narrow and define its target. As raw materials became scarce and employees were drafted into the army, Lavazza kept his business going by limiting his trade to sugar and roasted coffee. In another way, the war introduced the opportunity to reconfigure the store as the promoter of a new coffee drinking culture. As the company sent large contingents of blends to the front to remedy the chronic exhaustion of soldiers, the habit of coffee drinking began to spread in the trenches, extending to generals and veterans, thus generating a growing demand for coffee in the post-war years.

Lavazza & Italy's leadership in the industry of "transformed #coffee" | #Italianinnovators #shorts

Lavazza, who had acquired first-hand knowledge in Brazil, developed contacts in Genoa to acquire raw product in large quantities and started to treat coffee in the back of his shop, roasting it and blending different varieties in new personal recipes following his customers’ requests. What he created in his workshop was not just a signature product for his store’s clients but also a new concept: of transformed coffee, for personal use. This is still the key to Italy’s coffee industry today, as the country, which does not produce a single coffee bean, became a leading manufacturer of “transformed coffee” (with about 35% of the global share).

The creation of the first Lavazza store in Turin (1895) | #italianinnovators #shorts #lavazza

Luigi Lavazza moved to the city in 1888. He had a limited education but he brought with him a great faith, endurance, humility, and desire to grow. He worked as an excavator, bricklayer, salesclerk, and warehouseman, while attending first a school for workers over the weekends, then a trade school at night, and lastly a municipal school, where he earned a diploma in chemistry. In 1893 he married Emilia Morino and the following year he made his first investment with the savings he had accumulated. With the help of a former employer, who gave him a 10,000 lire loan, he acquired the fading business Paissa Olivero for 26,000 lire and in 1895 he opened his grocery store.

The best boat ever made. The Riva Aquarama (1962) | #italianinnovators #shorts #riva #lamborghini

The most legendary Riva motorboat however was the Aquarama, released in 1962 and produced in different versions until 1996. This instant classic, all in mahogany and able to reach 45/50 knots, is now considered the Ferrari of boats, “a brand within a brand,” or simply the most iconic yacht ever. The Aquarama was born at the explicit request of customers who wanted a more practical Tritone and its name came from the curved widescreen Cinerama which the hull’s wrap-around windshield imitated. While Gianni Agnelli’s boat trips near the Amalfi Coast certainly contributed to the nautical legend of Aquarama in the early 1960s, the project which really launched its epic was the 1968 collaboration with Ferruccio Lamborghini, as Riva tailored for him a unique model powered by Lamborghini engines.

The path to global success. 4 generations of Riva #yachts | #italianinnovators #shorts

Carlo Riva was not born on the sea, but he was part of a family of boatmen. His great grandfather Pietro Riva had founded the family business in 1842 in Sarnico, Lombardy, on the shores of Lake Iseo. After a storm devastated the local fishing fleet, he did not succumb to resignation, and, taking destiny into his own hands, he opened a yard and restored all the vessels, earning the local people’s respect. Building on his reputation, his son Ernesto would start to power boats with internal combustion engines at the end of the 19th century. After WWI, his son Serafino would shift production from transport vessels to motorboats, pioneeringly investing in racing yachts and winning countless competitions in the 1920s and 1930s. When the brand reached its fourth generation, in the years of the dolce vita, Serafino’s son Carlo would become the visionary architect of the company’s global success.

From the Middle Ages to now. Italy's tradition of boating excellence | #italianinnovators #shorts

In Inferno XXI, Dante actually compares the tireless activity of devils to the relentless labor of shipbuilders in the Venetian arsenal as “one makes a vessel new, one caulks the ribs of a boat that has made many a voyage, one hammers at the prow, one at the stern, and another mends the mainsail”. Dante’s description of the shipyard is not just an homage to the grandeur of Venice, and the other 14th century sea republics, but also a lively testimony of the Italian tradition of excellence in shipbuilding, a tradition of distinction which continues from past centuries to our present, as Italy produces 40% of the world’s super yachts.

The Rise of Americanism in Italy, 1888-1919 (New Book L.Cottini). Key arguments | #shorts

A preview of Luca Cottini's new book "The Rise of Americanism in Italy, 1888-1919" (University of Toronto Press, 2025) Full book presentation https://youtu.be/kFHju-mhgPo This book offers an opportunity to provide an external view and perhaps stir a debate on words that we commonly use, like America, Americanism, or Americanization, which require historical contextualization and more thorough reflection. So, the book offers an Italian alternative to the predominant narration of America which, from the Enlightenment to the 20th century, is mainly conveyed through French sources. The book also traces direct contacts between Italian and American cultures through the sources related to artists, journalists, travelers, missionaries, both from Italy to the United States and from the United States to Italy, and the book aims at exploring the political context where Italians end up in the United States and the political context where Americans operate in Italy during the period of the turn of the 20th century. #america #americanism #antiamericanism #americanization #universityoftoronto #emigration #italianemigration #italianinnovators Thanks for watching.

The Rise of Americanism in Italy, 1888-1919 (New book |L.Cottini). Key takeaways | #shorts

A preview of Luca Cottini's new book "The Rise of Americanism in Italy, 1888-1919" (University of Toronto Press, 2025) Full book presentation https://youtu.be/kFHju-mhgPo The book aims to predate the Americanization of Italy from the years after World War II to the turn of the 20th century. The book also aims to explore the soft power of American industry and to see Italy as the privileged site for a U.S. penetration in the European market. So, Italy, thanks to its migrant community, creates a fertile soil for Americans to develop an economic presence. And the book also aspires to reconstruct the meaning of Americanism in an age like ours, so the age post-1945 that has instead embraced the concept of anti-Americanism. The book tries to offer the reconstruction of the social debate on Americanism that takes place in the United States as an internal debate on citizenship, but also tries to argue that this concept, this debate, becomes an export ideology then in Europe and acquires different meanings over time. #america #americanism #antiamericanism #americanization #universityoftoronto #emigration #italianemigration #italianinnovators Thanks for watching.

Un incontro inatteso. Come è nata la collaborazione tra Milena Canonero e Stanley Kubrick | #shorts

Una giovane ragazza italiana, nata a Torino e cresciuta a Genova, dove ha studiato design e costumi, si trasferisce in Inghilterra, dove cerca di guadagnarsi da vivere a Londra lavorando nella boutique di un'amica. Innamorata del teatro e del cinema, che, ammise poi, continuava a chiamarla, la giovane apprendista iniziò a lavorare sui costumi grazie a un incontro casuale con il regista americano. Nel 1968 si ritrova sul set del capolavoro di 2001: Odissea nello spazio. La sua storia inizia qui, nell'incontro con Kubrik, e nella proficua collaborazione che lì è iniziata. Canonero sarà la mano dietro suoi capolavori come Arancia meccanica nel 1971, Barry Lyndon nel 1975 e Shining nel 1980. L'Oscar per i suoi costumi storici in Barry Lyndon le valse una tale reputazione che George Lucas le chiese di disegnare i costumi per Star wars. --- Related #italianinnovators videos: Fashion playlist: bit.ly/MyInnovatorsFashion * Salvatore Ferragamo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YabiLQTSBNs * Guccio Gucci https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNNU02huyZk * Emilio Pucci https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdQhd0eEVCQ * Elsa Schiaparelli https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNmKPpKDrBc&t=10s * Ermenegildo Zegna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-mUfTzEZMY&t=1s * Elsa Peretti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHUkVNyfbaw * Giorgio Armani https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3xhDAAf--Y&t=1s --- Women playlist: bit.ly/MyInnovatorsWomen * Fabiola Gianotti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RudD7fWZqtY&feature=youtu.be * Laura Biagiotti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzfe2IYZsHw * Margherita Guarducci https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VghXAnQW1sY * Maria Montessori https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EelxAZzabE * Samantha Cristoforetti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh-tqTcXmcs --- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIYkesc9M87SERwaocbN-xQ/join Thanks for watching.

Design and religious architecture. Gio Ponti's cathedral of Taranto | #italianinnovators #shorts

In the Co-Cathedral of Taranto, which he planned in the Apulian city in 1970 and which was dedicated to the “Great Mother of God”, Ponti envisioned a sublime synthesis, staging the continuity of temporal and atemporality in the idea of a sail (the façade), dialoguing with the sea (as mirrored in the water pools) and the sky, as implied in the lightness and light of its structure. The building’s mix of stone and wind, of depth and grace, is a marvelous example of Italian and contemporary religious architecture. --- Related #italianinnovators videos: Design playlist: bit.ly/MyInnovatorsDesign * Alfonso Bialetti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBv8NoIZihw * Gio Ponti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0amDWoP_2gc * Silvio Gazzaniga https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKJ-XBUZ7tc * Carlo Bugatti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cuR_53Q2OQ * Battista and Sergio Pininfarina https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHKWDQgwZ-Q * Gae Aulenti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1r5khAmipU * Giorgetto Giugiaro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIoEzv2uqgI&t=336s --- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIYkesc9M87SERwaocbN-xQ/join Thanks for watching.

The tire track. The story and vision of Milan's #pirellone | #italianinnovators #shorts #gioponti

Also in architecture, contrast, or rather “balance” of opposites is the key force behind Gio Ponti’s style. Ponti identified the ongoing synthesis of opposites with the word “continuity”. We see this “continuity” in the Pirelli skyscraper that he designed in Milan with Pier Luigi Nervi and Arturo Danusso. The tapered shape of the tower, which you might associate with the monolith symbol of Kubrik’s 2001. A Space Odyssey is dynamically set in motion by a stylized tire tread rising vertically on the sides of the building. The skyscraper known as “il Pirellone” which became a symbol of Italy’s economic miracle and for years was the tallest building in Europe, was in fact the headquarters of the tire company Pirelli and stood on the site of its previous factory prior to its bombing in 1943. --- Related #italianinnovators videos: Design playlist: bit.ly/MyInnovatorsDesign * Alfonso Bialetti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBv8NoIZihw * Gio Ponti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0amDWoP_2gc * Silvio Gazzaniga https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKJ-XBUZ7tc * Carlo Bugatti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cuR_53Q2OQ * Battista and Sergio Pininfarina https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHKWDQgwZ-Q * Gae Aulenti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1r5khAmipU * Giorgetto Giugiaro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIoEzv2uqgI&t=336s --- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIYkesc9M87SERwaocbN-xQ/join Thanks for watching.

The Superleggera chair. Gio Ponti's #design masterpiece | #italianinnovators #shorts

Ponti’s minimalist approach to simple beauty, as it appears in common objects like conic door handles, found its most celebrated expression in his Superleggera chair, which he designed for Cassina in 1957. As Italian writer Italo Calvino theorized, nothing is more complex than simplicity, and perfection is the ultimate outcome of subtraction. This is even more valid for a chair. Ponti’s Superleggera reaches this perfection with artisanal elegance and cutting-edge research through a marvelous synthesis of light weight, strength, durability, and comfort. So, lightness and light, dynamism and solidity, comfort and legacy. Also in architecture, contrast, or rather “balance” of opposites is the key force behind Gio Ponti’s style. --- Related #italianinnovators videos: Design playlist: bit.ly/MyInnovatorsDesign * Alfonso Bialetti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBv8NoIZihw * Gio Ponti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0amDWoP_2gc * Silvio Gazzaniga https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKJ-XBUZ7tc * Carlo Bugatti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cuR_53Q2OQ * Battista and Sergio Pininfarina https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHKWDQgwZ-Q * Gae Aulenti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1r5khAmipU * Giorgetto Giugiaro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIoEzv2uqgI&t=336s --- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIYkesc9M87SERwaocbN-xQ/join Thanks for watching.

The post-war making of Gucci's iconic bamboo bag | #gucci #italianinnovators #shorts

The second defining event of Gucci’s success relates to the postwar years and the release of the famous Bamboo bag in 1947. The bag, an all-time favorite of celebrities and royalty and still a hallmark of the brand, came out of necessity, as the company was still dealing with the lack of foreign supplies, and out of its reappropriated equestrian vocation, as a saddle’s shape gave Gucci the inspiration to turn bamboo into an original handle. A traditional saddle girth would also be the inspiration for the green-red-green stripe which de facto became the trademark design of the company over the following years. So experimental sourcing and memory reinvented. --- Related #italianinnovators videos: Fashion playlist: bit.ly/MyInnovatorsFashion * Salvatore Ferragamo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YabiLQTSBNs * Guccio Gucci https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNNU02huyZk * Emilio Pucci https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdQhd0eEVCQ * Elsa Schiaparelli https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNmKPpKDrBc&t=10s * Ermenegildo Zegna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-mUfTzEZMY&t=1s * Elsa Peretti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHUkVNyfbaw * Giorgio Armani https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3xhDAAf--Y&t=1s --- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIYkesc9M87SERwaocbN-xQ/join Thanks for watching.

Shortage as a creative resource. The birth of the GG print | #gucci #italianinnovators #shorts

The blockage of leather similarly forced Gucci to ration production and test new solutions, as he branched out into shoes, wallets, and belts, and began to experiment with alternative bags, woven with a special hemp from Naples and printed with a series of small, interconnecting diamonds in dark brown on a tan background. These lightweight bags, which were printed with the repeating double-G initials that Guccio’s son Aldo had first designed in 1933, would become the company’s signature product. So, limit as a condition of resourcefulness and a stimulus for innovation. --- Related #italianinnovators videos: Fashion playlist: bit.ly/MyInnovatorsFashion * Salvatore Ferragamo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YabiLQTSBNs * Guccio Gucci https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNNU02huyZk * Emilio Pucci https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdQhd0eEVCQ * Elsa Schiaparelli https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNmKPpKDrBc&t=10s * Ermenegildo Zegna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-mUfTzEZMY&t=1s * Elsa Peretti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHUkVNyfbaw * Giorgio Armani https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3xhDAAf--Y&t=1s --- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIYkesc9M87SERwaocbN-xQ/join Thanks for watching.

An elevator boy named Guccio Gucci. How the #gucci legend started | #italianinnovators #shorts

It is fair to say that Guccio’s time in London was truly an experience of illumination. The young man worked in the hotel as dish washer, waiter, and concierge, but his most instructive assignment was that of elevator attendant. As he gave elevator rides to elegant upper-class hotel guests, he observed their luggage with curiosity, and in his brief interactions with celebrities and politicians he quickly learned their style, clothing, accessories, jewelry, and manners. That’s the power of small talk! It is here that Guccio first realized the coded language of leather bags. It is here that he first grasped the needs and wants of celebrities. It is here that we can trace the early intuition of his later company. --- Related #italianinnovators videos: Fashion playlist: bit.ly/MyInnovatorsFashion * Salvatore Ferragamo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YabiLQTSBNs * Guccio Gucci https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNNU02huyZk * Emilio Pucci https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdQhd0eEVCQ * Elsa Schiaparelli https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNmKPpKDrBc&t=10s * Ermenegildo Zegna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-mUfTzEZMY&t=1s * Elsa Peretti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHUkVNyfbaw * Giorgio Armani https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3xhDAAf--Y&t=1s --- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIYkesc9M87SERwaocbN-xQ/join Thanks for watching.

Don't ever forget to invite the #designer to dinner! Taglioni, #ducati and the birth of La Marianna

In the early 1950s Taglioni had made a name for himself working for the motorcycle producer Mondial, leading the company to win the Motogiro of Italy in 1954. By mistake, however, the team did not invite him to the celebration dinner after the victory, and after that, Taglioni would never show up again. After he quit Mondial, Ford and Ferrari soon approached him with lucrative proposals, but he turned them down, intrigued by Ducati, which instead offered him an uncompensated month-long trial, but with carte blanche for all his projects. As his wife Narina put it, Taglioni accepted Ducati’s bid and worked tirelessly for 40 days, designing, testing every component, and in the end, authoring the Gran Sport 100, the motorbike which would triumph at the Motogiro of 1955 and which would become known as “La Marianna”. --- Related #italianinnovators videos: Cars and transportation playlist: bit.ly/MyInnovatorsAutomobile * Carlo Riva https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2jDD6vXvL4 * Nicola Romeo (Alfa Romeo) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3SOP5nq45g * Alfieri Maserati https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aktXIi39y_E * Enzo Ferrari https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1rx-bd0s2A * Ferruccio Lamborghini https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E04gKmv-Ew --- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIYkesc9M87SERwaocbN-xQ/join Thanks for watching.

Storytelling & #entrepreneurship. How #ducati changed its plot | #italianinnovators #shorts

The best part of a book for an author is what happens after publication. Before that, it’s a story that we can control. After that, it becomes something else. It’s the same for any product and brand. In the same way, in fact, the legend of Ducati starts from this break, from the unforeseeable life that the product generated in dialogue with its users. The mastermind of this new story is the visionary engineer Fabio Taglioni. His hiring, in 1954, is what twisted the plot of Ducati forever, making it over the following decades one of the most recognizable brands in the world. --- Related #italianinnovators videos: Cars and transportation playlist: bit.ly/MyInnovatorsAutomobile * Carlo Riva https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2jDD6vXvL4 * Nicola Romeo (Alfa Romeo) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3SOP5nq45g * Alfieri Maserati https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aktXIi39y_E * Enzo Ferrari https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1rx-bd0s2A * Ferruccio Lamborghini https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E04gKmv-Ew --- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIYkesc9M87SERwaocbN-xQ/join Thanks for watching.

A #radio company? The story of #ducati before #motorcycling | #italianinnovators #shorts

On October 12, 1944, a cohort of allied bombers took off from Southern Italy directed toward Bologna. Their mission was to destroy the Ducati factory, which the Germans had reconverted into their own productive site during the military occupation of the peninsula. Over the previous decade, since the opening of the Borgo Panigale plant in 1935, Ducati had become the largest employer in Bologna and Italy’s leading electrical company, manufacturing radio parts and receivers, video projectors and portable-sized cameras, in collaboration with the optical institute of Florence, and even electric shavers, especially after the success of the first made-in-Italy model Raselet. --- Related #italianinnovators videos: Cars and transportation playlist: bit.ly/MyInnovatorsAutomobile * Carlo Riva https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2jDD6vXvL4 * Nicola Romeo (Alfa Romeo) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3SOP5nq45g * Alfieri Maserati https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aktXIi39y_E * Enzo Ferrari https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1rx-bd0s2A * Ferruccio Lamborghini https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E04gKmv-Ew --- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIYkesc9M87SERwaocbN-xQ/join Thanks for watching.

Luigi Palma di Cesnola. Il primo direttore del Metropolitan Museum of Art | #storieamericane

Dal Piemonte a New York, dalla guerra civile americana al consolato di Cipro, dalle rovine di Kourion al Metropolitan Museum of Art. La storia di Luigi Palma di Cesnola parte dai campi di battaglia della prima guerra d'indipendenza e si snoda dalla guerra di Crimea all'apprendistato come tutor d'italiano a New York. Dopo l'incontro con Isabel Reid, la donna che diventerà sua moglie, Louis farà parte del reggimento cavalleria di New York, combatterà per la libertà e diventerà console americano a Cipro. Fu proprio lì che inizio la sua collezione di reperti archeologici, che donerà poi al museo di New York, e fu grazie a questa esperienza che acquisì le competenza per fondare e dirigere per primo una delle istituzioni più prestigiose della città, il Metropolitan Museum of Art, quello che conosciamo oggi solo come il Met. #metropolitanmuseumofart #metropolitanmuseum #art #archaeology #newyork Thanks for watching.

La storia dell'anarchico che uccise il re Umberto I. Da Prato al penitenziario di Lampedusa. Da Paterson, NJ a Monza, da Ventotene a Buffalo. Il viaggio di un emigrante inquieto, che darà forma ed espressione concreta a un duraturo pregiudizio americano verso gli anarchici italiani: dalla morte del presidente McKinley (1901) al caso internazionale di Sacco e Vanzetti (1927). La vicenda dell'uomo che ha sfidato la monarchia, la cui leggenda ha superato la sua giovane (e sospetta) morte e ha attraversato come un presagio nascosto tutto il XX secolo, sia in Italia che negli Stati Uniti. #italianinnovators #gaetanobresci #bresci #paterson #anarchia #anarchici #anarchismo Thanks for watching.

Il vescovo che mise d'accordo lo Stato e la Chiesa.

Il suo apostolato per gli emigranti lo renderà esempio per cattolici e laici del suo tempo, e il suo contributo di evangelizzazione e civilizzazione è ancora un segno molto profondo nelle Americhe. #italianinnovators #scalabrini #scalabriniani Thanks for watching.

Da Foggia a Foggia. Dalla città natale di suo padre Achille, compositore giramondo, a Camp Foggia, dove per primo, nell'ottobre del 1917, il figlio Fiorello stabilì la prima divisione aerea americana, la cosiddetta Foggiana, che molto impatto avrà sul morale degli italiani nei mesi successivi a Caporetto. Traduttore, diplomatico, eroe di guerra, riformatore. Fiorello La Guardia fu un uomo di molti mondi, capace di dare rappresentanza politica agli Italian Americans e di influenzare l'opinione pubblica italiana durante la guerra. Al suo ritorno in patria nel 1918, fu eletto di nuovo al Congresso e tra il 1934 e il 1945 diventerà sindaco di New York, uno dei piú amati.

Filippo Mazzei, l'amico italiano di Jefferson | #storieamericane

Perché Jefferson conosceva l’italiano? Dove nasce la sua frase “tutti gli uomini sono creati uguali”? E come mai JFK decise di riconoscere ufficialmente il suo vero autore nel 1961? Vi racconto qui l'amicizia tra il mercante livornese Filippo Mazzei e il filosofo e presidente americano Thomas Jefferson, che nacque da un incontro casuale a Londra, a cui seguì un viaggio in Virginia, dove Mazzei si dedicò alla cura del frutteto di Monticello e iniziò un business di export agricolo. Con l'inizio della guerra rivoluzionaria americana, Mazzei iniziò a importare armi nelle colonie, facendo la spola attraverso l'Atlantico, e diventò spia e confidente di Jefferson, che parlava italiano (e visiterà poi il Nord Italia nel 1787, proprio mentre redigeva il testo della Costituzione americana). Fu dalla loro corrispondenza che Jefferson mutuò la frase "all men are created equal" che diventerà poi uno dei cardini della Costituzione americana. #italianinnovators #constitution #mazzei #jefferson Thanks for watching.

Il fondatore degli studi italiani in America. Un ritratto di Lorenzo Da Ponte | #storieamericane

Il librettista di Mozart, autore a Vienna di opere immortali come Le Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, e Cosí fan tutte, fu uno dei primi emigranti italiani negli Stati Uniti e il fondatore degli studi italiani a Columbia University. La sua storia - di prete e libertino, di poeta di corte e tutor privato, di venditore e professore - è degna di un film. La sua eredità intellettuale, che si estende dall'accademia al teatro, lo rende non solo un pioniere dell'opera in America ma anche un grande della letteratura del suo tempo. A partire dalla sua straordinaria autobiografia... Qui ne racconto solo un piccolo assaggio, per altro molto gustoso, solo come invito a conoscere un gigante della cultura italiana e americana. #italianinnovators #italianstudies #opera #mozart #dongiovanni #nozzedifigaro #cosifantutte #columbia Thanks for watching.
