Loyola IA Studies Endowment Project: We’re Halfway There! Help Us Get Over the Top!
LUC Brochure
Loyola University Chicago has been growing exponentially in the past 10 years.
The objective is to endow a professorship dedicated to teaching, researching, publishing, and conducting community outreach focused on the history and culture of Italians in America. The biggest surprise came when an anonymous couple contacted the Committee in December, 2013. He was immigrant boy from Puglia to Chicago in the late 1940s who received a Jesuit education before serving in Vietnam. His wife is a professional and also a writer. Together they donated $100,000 and signed a pledge for an equal donation in 2014.
The Atonal Symphony of Political Italy
Let's imagine political Italy as if a performance by a symphony orchestra playing less Mozart than modern atonal, by definition music lacking a tonal center or key. The conductor, the economist Premier Enrico Letta, faces such unruly musicians that he can barely keep hold of his baton. In the background on stage is the chorus, warning that another 2% of Italians have slipped below the poverty line.

Voglia di scrivere
Riflessioni personali legate al momento magico della scrittura. Perchè in ogni caso alla fine:
"Verba voltant. Scripta manent"
Linguaggio della politica. Parole e Parolacce
Riuscirà il giovane Matteo, di solide radici culturali toscane, a far cadere nel dimenticatoio l’ondata di rozza volgarità che soffoca me e tante altre persone ben educate? Riuscirà a risciacquare in Arno, almeno per quanto riguarda la comunicazione, i panni sporchi dell’Italia di oggi?
