The art-based language lessons in this book include painting, photography, film, music, poetry, journalism, fashion, and cuisine. The joy of the art in this book makes the language learning sustainable. In these exercises, the exciting artworks are reflective of Italy's diversity: films by Ferzan Ozpetek, Marco Tullio Giordana, Nanni Moretti, and Fred Kuwornu; pop songs by Elisa, Pacifico, and Gianmaria Testa; photography by Gianni Berengo Gardin, Silvia Amodio, and Samantha Cristoforetti; literature by Dacia Maraini; interviews with Letizia Battaglia and Edmonia Lewis; a recipe by Lidia Bastianich; illustrations by Nicoletta Costa, and Felicita Sala; and visual arts in diverse media from great collections, including the National Gallery of Art, Washington, the Rijksmuseum, the Museo Fortuny, the Pinacoteca di Brera, the Museo di Capodimonte, the Museo Querini-Stampalia, the Fondazione Massimo e Sonia Cirulli, the Newark Museum of Art, the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Yale University Art Gallery, and the Walters Art Museum. All profits from this book are assigned to the Italian medical relief organization EMERGENCY to fund the high quality medical care they deliver for free to survivors of war and poverty. The author, Diana C. Silverman, Ph.D., holds a doctorate in Italian from Columbia University and teaches college Italian in New York City.
