Accelerated Italian (for Speakers of Spanish, French or Portuguese)
Instructor: James McMenamin
Course Description:
Accelerated study of the fundamentals of Italian language with the goal of developing reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. Designed for native or proficient speakers of Spanish, French, or Portuguese, this course covers in one semester what is usually taught in two courses (IT101 and IT102). Due to the intensive nature of this course, students should plan to commit themselves to a fast-paced learning environment. Upon successful completion, students will be prepared to take IT201. There is no lab, but students are expected to attend the weekly Italian Table. We recommend that students already have at least two semesters of college study in a Romance Language (other than Italian) or 3 years of high school study in a Romance Language (other than Italian); or be a native or a heritage speaker of a Romance Language (other than Italian). Non-native speakers will be assessed through a placement test or a conversation with the instructor.

From Pasta to Pizza: Italian Food Culture in Context
Instructor: Francesco Samarini
Course Description:
Cross-listed with FDST 250-01. Additional Time Slot: For students pursuing the Italian FLIC option only Wednesdays 1:30-2:20 in Bosler 314. Italian food is certainly one of the most famous and appreciated types of cuisine in the world. Who does not love a good dish of pasta or a delicious slice of pizza? In this course, we will trace the development of Italian cuisine from the Middle Ages to the present, by considering both the internal geographical and cultural differences and the transnational factors that contributed to create such a diverse and rich food culture. This course is offered in English. Italian Studies majors, Italian minors, and INBM majors using this course to satisfy major/minor requirements will attend a discussion group in Italian and will write their papers in Italian. Upon successful completion of the work in Italian, students will receive a "FLIC: Italian" notation on their transcript. Prerequisites: 231 if taken as Italian FLIC; none, if taking the English only portion.

What is Love? Through a diverse selection of works from authors such as St. Francis, Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Lorenzo de' Medici, Pietro Aretino, Gaspara Stampa, and Veronica Franco, students will examine the nature of love from a variety of perspectives. From the spirituality of religion to the physicality of desire and attraction, this course will confront topics such as the medieval and Renaissance ideas of love (courtly love, the Dolce Stil Novo, and love sickness), theological notions of love (charity), different expressions of love (heterosexuality, same-sex attraction and polyamory), and transgressive types of love (lust, adultery, and prostitution).
This course is taught in Italian. Prerequisites: 231 and 232, or permission of the instructor. Offered every year.
