The idea of the "mamma italiana" is one of the most widespread and
recognizable stereotypes in perceptions of Italian national
character both within and beyond Italy. This figure makes frequent
appearances in jokes and other forms of popular culture, but it has
also been seen as shaping the lived experience of modern-day
Italians of both sexes, as well as influencing perceptions of Italy
in the wider world. This interdisciplinary collection examines the
invented tradition of mammismo but also contextualizes it by
discussing other, often contrasting, ways in which the role of
mothers, and the mother-son relationship, have been understood and
represented in culture and society over the last century and a
half, both in Italy and in its diaspora.
