Italian-American Comedy: From the Immigrant Era to the Present – All Purpose Rm. 2nd Fl. and Virtual Sunday, April 3 at 1 p.m. This presentation focuses on southern Italian-American comedy, from its roots in the Commedia Dell’ Arte and southern Italian poverty, through its progression in transplanted American generations. The lecture follows the development of Italian-American humor as it responds to and mirrors the status of the Italian-American community, from the immigrant era to the present.
