 | Caro Lettore,
Welcome to this weekend's edition of your About.com Italian Language Newsletter! A park for incomplete public works? That was the idea behind the recent Festival Incompiuto Siciliano held in Giarre (in eastern Sicily, not far from Catania).
In the About Italian Language Forums a community member wonders how to describe food that's delicious, and a discussion about maccheronico language. Plus the ninth canto of Paradiso in Dante's The Divine Comedy in both Italian and English, in which the Poet speaks with Cunizza da Romano, who makes a prophecy and a few predictions. Lastly, there are double entendres and malaproprisms starting with the letter C in the alternative Italian dictionary. | |
Park of the Incompiuto
A park for incomplete public works? That was the idea behind the recent Festival Incompiuto Siciliano held in Giarre (in eastern Sicily, not far from Catania), which spotlighted projects that, after billions of lire and many years of work, "stand unfinished, vacant, and half-wrecked."

"Da poi che Carlo tuo, bella Clemenza, / m'ebbe chiarito, mi narrò li 'nganni / che ricever dovea la sua semenza;"
