A Cardboard Nativity Scene, a Knitted Stocking and Some Coals

This week I took out my Christmas decorations. As I placed the manger above the fireplace mantel, my childhood holiday rituals came to mind. In Italy, Christmas was one of the most important holidays of the year. We prepared in a very solemn way. During the week before this big day, we went to confession. We…See More

Blood Oranges, Town Crier and my childhood - Arance Sanguine, Bannitore e la mia fanciullezza

Recently, I was reading a recipe for Margaritas and it called for blood oranges. Now, I have not seen or have eaten a blood orange since I was a child and, of course, this sparked a childhood flashback.http://casa-giardino.blogspot.com/2010/09/blood-oranges-town-crier-and-my.htmlSee More

A Crochet Bedspread in My Italian Trunk - ( Il Copriletto all'uncinetto nel mio Baule)

Few days ago, I decided to crack one of my two Italian trunks open and live a little. I have been married 44 years and have owned this crochet bedspread for 50 years or more. It was part of my trousseau (corredo) together with other treasurables.It took my mother 5 years to complete this bedspread utilizing many summer afternoons, skilled hands and lot of ecru thread..a lot of work..a lot of love. When I got married, I found the bedspread to be old fashioned, fussy and not useful. Not practical…See More

Dinner at Home with Friends

To me, a good meal at home with friends is what celebrating food is all about. Does it involve work? Certainly.



But look at my reasons:

• Everyone can bring a bottle and share, no inflated restaurant wine costs or corkage fees.

• No restaurant rule about dressing totally casually and slipping off your shoes.

• We can debate in a loud manner rather than whisper 'till the wee hours.…

Locavore - Before the Term Existed

 

Now, that Mrs. Obama planted the White House garden, growing one’s food has become fashionable. To us cafoni (poor peasants), it’s always been common sense that fresh food tastes better, it’s healthier and good for the environment.

We May Not Have a Vineyard but We Surely Make Wine - (Non abbiamo un vigneto, ma lo stesso facciamo il vino)

Yes, winemaking is a yearly ritual in our home during the month of October. Even though my husband and I came to America as children in the late 1950's, the old-world tradition of making wine at home continues.…

Elisa,

si`, se potessi andarci, l'avrei fatto.  Non potevo adesso.  Io ho bisogna di un amico che lavora nel reparto Stato Civile in Italia che potrebbe porre una domanda ad ANUSCA.  Questa organizzazione sa tutto per quanto riguarda il mio dilemma.

Hi Elisa,

ANUSCA is the society for all those who work in Stato Civile in Italy.  They have a great site on the Internet, and if you peruse "quesiti on-line," you will see that they, more than the Consolate can answer any questions you put to them.  If you knew someone in Italy that worked in Stato Civile, they could pose a question.  It is, however, true that if you naturalized before your daughter was born, she could not be automatically recognized as an Italian citizen.  However, if you were to reacquire it, then she probably could also as someone "in linea rete."  I have read just about every law from l912 on that applies to citizenship.  Actually, someone in the NY office told me I should go to court in Italy and start a case, and that I had a good chance of being successful.  I have no idea of how much this would cost, so I'm a little hesitant, unless I can be assured of success.  The thing that drives me crazy is that my biological brother has just gotten his passport, in no time.  He didn't even have to change his parents' marriage documents with misspellings and anglicized names, while I did my parents (adoptive) birth, marriage, my birth certificate, etc.  If you need any advice, I'd be happy to help.

Grazie,  I'll try to contact them.  Imagine that they are in Abruzzo.

Elisa,

I visited Michelle's site.  It's beautiful.  I'm going to ask her advice.  Grazie
