Santa Barbara Chalks Up Another Artful I Madonnari Street Painting Festival
The hands caught the attention of those walking by the front of the Santa Barbara Mission. The artist, barefoot and covered head to toe in chalk, bounced her head to the music from her ear buds and swiped soft hues along the pavement canvas. She scanned a reference image and lifted her head to view the result, then rubbed in the pastel chalk with h...
L'ombra di Chaplin
“A Rosciolo dei Marsi, piccola frazione di Magliano dei Marsi (AQ) adagiata ai piedi del Monte Velino, in Abruzzo, sono ancora in molti a ricordare il suo nome italiano: Vincenzo Pelliccione.

Folsom Lake Symphony’s ‘Festa Italiana’ a feast for the musical soul
In Italian “festa” simply translates as “festival.” But in actuality an Italian festa is so much more. Within the culture it celebrates the life of a Christian saint. The faithful joyfully attend Mass. Homes and plazas sport decorations. Traditional foods, with recipes handed down for generations, comfort the body as well as the soul. Small wonder...

U.S.-Italian Startup Builds Open-Source Electric Self-Driving Platform
The idea of open-source isn't something you come across very often in the car industry. In most cases (make that "in every case"), if one company comes up with something it had spent a lot of time and money on, it will guard it as best it can against the competition. That's how things work in a competitive environment. It's not how they necessaril...

A scoop of Italy in Altadena
Tucked away in a lone cement courtyard near the foothills of Altadena, string lights lazily hang in front of Bulgarini Gelato. A few tables, with tiles and carved sunflowers on their surfaces sit in the shade just outside the windows, but upon opening the door, it was an entirely different vibe. Something straight out of an Italian travel book. Bes...
