Central to the lives of immigrants and their children, food offered not only sustenance but also powerful narratives of tradition and innovation to create an Italian American identity. Cinotto\u00a0shows how generations of creative, ambitious improvisers in tenement kitchens and behind restaurant stoves cooked, ate, and shared the foods that helped them make their way into American culture while developing the vibrant food-based economy of importers and restaurateurs that we still enjoy today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Introduction<\/strong>: Dr. Teresa Fiore, Inserra Chair<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discussion moderators<\/strong>: Dr. David Del Principe (Associate Professor of Italian) and Dr. Gina Miele (Assistant Professor of Italian)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sponsored and organized by the Inserra Chair in Italian and Italian American Studies at Montclair State University, NJ<\/li>\n<li>In collaboration with Coccia Institute for the Italian Experience in America at Montclair State University<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a name=\"About_Cinotto\"><\/a>About Dr. Simone Cinotto<\/h3>\n<p>\u200c<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/inserra-chair\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2017\/12\/cinotto-portrait-162x161.jpg\" alt=\"Simone Cinotto\" width=\"162\" height=\"161\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Simone Cinotto is a Professor of American and Contemporary History at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Italy.
