Tutto a Posto: the Re-Instatement of Italian AP Program in Italian Language and Culture
On November 10, it will officially be announced at the Consulate General of Italy in New York the re-instatement of the Advanced Placement (AP) Program in Italian Language and Culture beginning in the 2011-12 academic year.
The program, known as AP Italian, became in 2005 the first new foreign language and culture program that the College Board had instituted in over 50 years. It was suspended following the 2008-2009 school year because of a lack of funding and will be re-instated also thanks to the generous contributions of Italian companies and major Italian-American organization. The announcement will be followed by a signing ceremony between the Italian Government and the College Board. The Honorable Vincenzo Scotti, Italy’s Undersecretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and Ambassador Giulio Terzi di Sant’Agata, Ambassador of Italy to the United States, will be in attendance.

Andrew Cuomo: Coffee, Tea, or Cappuccino?
Given the unfortunate hot breakfast drink metaphors "Tea Party" and "Coffee Party" that have been brewed to simplify the already simple-minded partisan political debate in American politics over the past year, I have resorted to a "Cappuccino" allusion in this column to ask the non-musical question: “What does the election of Andrew Cuomo mean for New York State’s Italian Americans?" My informed guess is that, like his father Mario, Andy knows he owes little to the Italian American voter.
So Who Has the Last Laugh?
Some are saying that the Italian political situation is so surreal that it defeats any attempt at humor. They should think again. The comics are having a field day, and maybe a good laugh is just what’s needed
