Casa Italiana Language School: “Love in poetry and popular music”

(da Facebook di Casa Italiana)

Casa Italiana is very fortunate that a person of the caliber of Oscar Bartoli has personally designed this one of a kind course about love, its evolving expressions and how poetry and music convey love.
“Love in poetry and popular music”, a unique course created by Oscar, starts with the worship of women as angels by Dante contrasted with Lorenzo il Magnifico’s concept of women as confidants, lovers and partners in life.
The second third will explore how poetry sparked the love songs of Naples in the 50s and 60s. 
Part three will examine love in the family, between mother, father and child though poetry in songs and love of nation by soldiers who give their lives in war and the love of martyrs for their religion.

Part four speeds on to modern love, pornography, modern masculinity, feminism and the chaos and temporary nature of today’s relationships. 
Oscar paid his way through college as a professional guitarist and singer in clubs and on TV and Radio and will sing these songs for you. You will learn how love is shared and intensified through poetry.
