For years I work in Italy. What does this mean? No, not importing wines from Sicily or olive oil from Tuscany. I am involved with Italian culture . A nice "product", one might say. And here starts the al I do not want Italy as "product" approach. At least not in the commercial sense. This is already widespread. The endless repetition of the stereotype: the tower of Pisa, the perpetual espresso, the Tuscan countryside where you undoubtedly half home for sale shortly. The
commerce, the wild marketing, often the wrong people of Italy have made something ugly: a neo-liberal "product" good for the tasteless consumption of the nouveau riche and their clones associated with the dream of a Ferrari. Pasolini would turn in his grave. No, I want nothing to do. With an Italy that is synonymous with conservatism and endless repetition of the same (read: Mannerism).
For years I work (often volunteer) for Foundation Quelli di Astaroth " because here I find a group of people who another Italy wants to show. The Italy of today, where people not only with the Colosseum, Renaissance and mozzarella busy. The theater of our Foundation for example, plays by Stefano Benni and Edoardo Erba but also to acts inspired futurism / Dadaism. Our radio broadcasts interviews with Dario For, Frans Weisz and Rudi Fuchs. The two editions of the festival "Cinemissimo" of documentaries and feature films, never before in the Netherlands.
Finally Scuola d'Italia . An education which I am personally very proud of. Language with a communicative approach where students "really" listening and talking. Not only grammar and exercises, but the living language . None stereotypical fashion and expensive design, but learned the language by modern media and contemporary literature. No ready-made method, but tailor-made lessons focusing on small groups of students.
lot of work to make this possible, but also a pleasure to do this work. And all in the name of commerce and profit, not by the empty image of the marketing, but since me and Quelli di Astaroth Italy to invest in this, another Italy. And so it is working with Italy almost works ... for Italy. Oh yeah, all courses start again from September 20th!

L'Italia, anni che ci lavoro. No, I do not commute Amstedam-Bologna and even amount of wine or oil. I deal with Italian culture, a good "product" with which to work. Product? But I do not want to use Italy as a commercial product. This already happens on a large scale. The endless repetition of the stereotype: the tower of Pisa, good coffee every 2 minutes, the Tuscan countryside with the inevitable sale to the North European second home for warmth and flavor.
sales, marketing, wild, often the wrong people have done something bad in Italy: a "product" neoliberal "good to be consumed by the nouveau riche and their clones, all framed a dream of a Ferrari. Pasolini would turn in his grave. No, I do not want to have anything to do with it. Synonymous with an Italy of a conservative world where lies the endless repetition of the same things (read: way).
work for years (mostly as a volunteer) for the foundation "Those of Astaroth" because here I found a group of people who wants to show another Italy. The Italy of today, for example, where people have a well-lter to think that the Colosseum, Renaissance or mozzarella cheese (blue). The theater we do for example: the staging of texts by Stefano Benni or Edoardo Erba or acts inspired by Futurism / Dada. And then the radio with our interviews with Dario For and Erik Gandini. Then again the two editions of filmfestival "Cinemissimo" with fiction and documentaries never before shown in the Netherlands. Finally
: School Italy, an educational project that is one of my points of pride. Lessons of Italian and Dutch with a communicative approach to language, where corsisiti truly understand and speak. The language part of the culture of film and theater-quality, stimulating and literature class, language, vivid and authentic. No lessons predigested and based on aseptic methods and artificial, but a personalized educational inputs adattato ai piccoli gruppi e-class. Tanto lavoro, ma anche un lavoro che è un piacere fare. E tutto questo non certo nel nome del commercialismo e del profitto, ma perché io e Quelli di Astaroth vogliamo Investire in un'altra Italia. Ed è così che con l'Italia lavorare lavorare diventa quasi un ... per l'Italia .
