Since we were born we tell the Italian community in the United States closely: its institutions, its enterprises, its individual stories. It is the goal of New York: to be the voice of the community, because history can be of the individual, the article can write a journalist, but the newspaper is of all of us. This is why we decided, as a editorial staff, to take “a step in the side” and let the next special paper issue really be “of all”. And who more embodies the spirit of the Italian community in New York, if not the children, the children of that community, which in New York grow and live halfway between two worlds and two languages?
For more than a month the editorial staff of the New York City was entrusted to the students of La Scuola d’Italia Guglielmo Marconi in New York. The project will culminate in the presentation of the special issue “School of Record” entirely conceived and realized by the boys, who have worked as a true editorial: selection of themes, assignment of articles, revision and closing of contents. An editorial experience with responsibility, defined times and direct comparison with professionals in the sector.
The Italian Guglielmo Marconi School is an Italian Parisian institute based in Manhattan, offering a bilingual journey from childhood school to high school, integrating the Italian curriculum with the American one. School of Record relates this school education with cultural production, inserting students into the information circuit addressed to the Italian diaspora. The special issue thus becomes a space in which to tell the identity, ambitions and international trajectories of a generation that grows between two educational systems and two cultural contexts.
At the presentation event at the Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò, scheduled on Tuesday, March 3 from 6:00 PM, among others, Silvana Mangione, Deputy Secretary General of the CGIE, Giuseppe Pastorelli, Consul Generale d’Italia in New York, Davide Ippolito, founder of the New York New York School, Stefano Albertini of NYU, Anthony Martire, Head of School ad interim, and Cristian Middle Year Program. Cristiana Mancini, head of foreign service of SKY, Bilena Settepani, is also expected to participate, leading the Settepani Bakery, an entrepreneurial reality rooted in the Italian-American community of Brooklyn, and Mattia Scarpa, alumnus of the school and today a student of the Bocconi University.
