Ebook About A celebration of the language and culture of Italy, La Bella Lingua is the story of how a language shaped a nation, told against the backdrop of one woman’s personal quest to speak fluent Italian. For anyone who has been to Italy, the fantasy of living the Italian life is powerfully seductive. But to truly become Italian, one must learn the language. This is how Dianne Hales began her journey. In La Bella Lingua, she brings the story of her decades-long experience with the “the world’s most loved and lovable language” together with explorations of Italy’ s history, literature, art, music, movies, lifestyle and food in a true opera amorosa — a labor of her love of Italy.Over the course of twenty-five years, she has studied Italian through Berlitz, books, CDs, podcasts, private tutorials and conversation groups, and, most importantly, time spent in Italy. In the process the Italian language became not just a passion and a pleasure, but a passport into Italy’s storia and its very soul. She invites readers to join her as she traces the evolution of Italian in the zesty graffiti on the walls of Pompeii, in Dante’s incandescent cantos and in Boccaccio’s bawdy Decameron. She portrays how social graces remain woven into the fabric of Italian: even the chipper “ciao,” which does double duty as “hi” and “bye,” reflects centuries of bella figura. And she exalts the glories of Italy’s food and its rich and often uproarious gastronomic language: Italians deftly describe someone uptight as a baccala (dried cod), a busybody who noses into everything as a prezzemolo (parsley), a worthless or banal movie as a polpettone (large meatball). Like Dianne, readers of La Bella Lingua will find themselves innamorata, enchanted, by Italian, fascinated by its saga, tantalized by its adventures, addicted to its sound, and ever eager to spend more time in its company.Book La Bella Lingua: My Love Affair with Italian, the World's Most Enchanting Language Review :
Having lived in Italy more than a dozen years, my love of the country and its people is second to none. Even so, I did not enjoy La Bella Lingua. Ms. Hales sells us Italian like a used car dealer. The use of the superlative was more than I could take. Her anecdotes are often strange, too, I just can't believe her story of mistaking Domani Matina for a Mr. Matina. Had she no pocket dictionary with her? Could a train car of always helpful Italians not come to her aid? Her story of her night at La Scala is very odd. She's a woman who seems to travel to Italy endlessly, but writes that this would be her last chance to see an opera at La Scala. Why? She does seem to be allergic to Northern Italy, and Piemonte in particular, a terrible fault in a book that spends much time on culture and history. A reader of La Bella Linga would, for instance, never learn that Torino (Turin) was the first capital of united Italy. The elegant city of Torino is completely ignored both back in 1861 and today. There are other oddities: Hales spends a few pages on Fellini and never mentions his wife, the brilliant Giulietta Masina, nor La Strada, and Nights of Cabiria. An historical mistake that screams for correction appears in Hales' description of Verdi's funeral in 1901. She tells us that at the cemetery Paganini led a chorus of 900 men in singing Va, Pensiero. The problem here is that Paganini died in 1840, sixty one years earlier. It was Toscanini who led that chorus. Paganini, Toscanini -- what's the difference. :-) I have started learning Italian for a number of good reasons. First, a friend loaned me this book, but after reading it I bought it. I might say it was hard to put down. I have been an avid student of the language, but reading this book has boosted my inspiration and interest beyond bonds.The style is admirable, and captures one’s devotion and dedication not only for the language but it expands one’s interest way beyond. It creates interest in Italian literature which may only have existed in a casual form. It covers many areas of the culture in an irresistible way. In places, I even found the style poetic as it covers all aspects of the Italian language and culture. Obviously, the author’s erudition is enviable, which makes the book highly informative and creates further interest in reading also through the extensive bibliography at the end of the book.English words do not appear to be sufficient to describe the magnetism for the culture this book projects, which is so eloquently rendered. Even the end of the book describing some of the vulgarity, which is present in all languages, can make me, as an old man, blush. But at the same time, all the aspects of the ‘La Bella Lingua’ prompts you even more to absorb this culture.
