Description
The Italian Culture Minor at the University at Buffalo will promote the knowledge of Italian culture in its complexity and diversity from the Middle Ages to the present. It will offer a fresh look on Italian art, literature, culture, and economy, exploring the many faces of Italian identity. It will give voice to the Italian diaspora as well as to “new Italians” (i.e., Asian-Italians, African- Italians).This minor is interdisciplinary and offers a wide array of undergraduate courses from the elementary to the advanced level. It caters to students interested in working with Italian culture in the US, but also to those seeking to work overseas. The minor is designed to teach students the peculiarity of the Italian identity, how it was built, how it was perceived, and how it is evolving.
