...wrote, “A classic is a book which with each rereading offers as much a sense of discovery as the first reading.” Mason’s reimagining takes such discovery to heart. He himself may be aware of the similarities between his and the Italian author’s work. Many of his plot twists recall Calvino’s own piece, “The Odysseys Within ‘The Odyssey,’” which opens by wondering, “How many Odysseys does ‘The Odyssey?...
Tambellini, born in Syracuse, New York to an Italian mother and a Brazilian father, has always identified with black culture. The artist will turn 80 on April 29—“It’s the same date as the birthday of Duke Ellington. I’m a big fan of jazz,” Tambellini says.

He draws attention to the negative stereotyping of Italian Americans by using the pejorative "Guidos" and goes on to say all eight cast members are Italian American--which is not true.

Although our name is very German, and we're a German aristocratic family, we really grew...
...recent cover and inside the pages of its annual swimsuit issue. But she's just the latest Olympic skier to stumble out of the gate. Four years ago, Bode Miller was the American Olympic cover boy (on TIME, no less). But instead of collecting all the hardware in the Italian Alps, he partied harder than he competed and became a cultural pariah. Vonn is the anti-Bode, happily married to her skier husband and coach, dedicated to not disappointing all the mainstream sports fans who give skiing a quadrennial peek. In a strange twist, if Vonn drops out or drastically...
