Italian Language & Literature 205 - SAVORING ITALY

The course examines Italy's varied geography, history and artistic tradition to further appreciate Italy's rich, delicious, yet simple cuisine. In our travels we move from the caffe to the pizzeria, to the trattoria, to the pasticceria, to the enoteca to probe the cultural impact Italian cuisine has on promoting a holistic philosophy for eating/drinking/speaking best reflected by the now renowned Italian Slow Food Movement. Taught in English. Enrollment limited to 100. Graded S/U only.
