Il bel far niente. Tuesday, September 28, 2010. 314] Rome and Jerusalem, 23 Set 2010. North Africans, Jews, Gypsies and Mexicans…. Immigration is not just an Italian problem, or solely a European phenomenon, but a global issue. But, a truly Italian notion is. The beautiful image.

Il bel far niente. Tuesday, July 27, 2010. Two Weeks Away (27.7.2010). I have no conception of the Italian language; everything I try to say in Italian comes out sounding like muddled Spanish. So you may ask, "What is that phrase at the top of your blog? Thanks for the inquiry. It is Italian and means "the beauty of doing nothing." I found it in Elizabeth Gilbert's book, Eat, Pray, Love. Il bel far niente. Here's the skinny on my program: http:/ www.walsh.edu/index/romeexperiencefalli2.htm. Rome is six w...

Il bel far niente. Monday, September 6, 2010. 314] Rome and Jerusalem, 2 September 2010. In what ways is Georgio Perlasca an “authentic Italian hero? 8221; What does “authentic hero” mean? 8220;Whoever saves a single soul, it is as if he saved the entire world.” (1).

The Pope’s address on Easter and Christmas always begins, “Urbi et Orbi” – “To the City of Rome and to the World.” The term “Roman Catholic” also suggests that there is something “roman” and something “universal” about the Church. In what sense is the Church “roman” and in what sense is it “global? 8221; I offer this journal entry …. Does the roman nature of the Church nullify its universality? I liked how you brought ...

Art uses ingenuity and research to respond to the times. In Rome, art happens when someone or some institution has enough money to commission it.
