An American Professor in Italy is about an American professor of
Italian descent who recounts his travels in Italy as a Fulbright
Scholar, program evaluator for the European Common Market, tourist,
and owner of an Italian timeshare. He reflects on Italian Culture
and its stereotypes, and shares impressions of Italians in poignant
and humorous anecdotes. Throughout the book he conveys a strong
sense of pride and love for Italy and its Italians.
Dr. Tripodi discovers his Italian roots and describes a wide
range of experiences in 52 vignettes and several poems concerned
with topics such as these: his mother's house in Italy, the church
his grandfather built, a conversation with Anna Maria Levi, sister
of world-famous author Primo Levi, an Italian lover, the seductive
city of Venice, the Jewish Ghetto, the University of Padova,
Michelangelo in Rome and Florence, La Scala di Milano, and Juliet's
balcony in Verona.
