Cari soci,
Non sembra vero, ma anche quest’anno è volato. Tra meno di un mese sarà Natale e come ogni anno l’ICC lo festeggerà con il suo tradizionale potluck. Questo evento sarà riservato ai membri, per cui tutti coloro che vorranno partecipare a questa festa, potranno farlo diventando nostri iscritti. Associarsi significa non solo supportarci, ma anche beneficiare di tutti i vantaggi che l’ICC offre ai suoi membri. I nuovi corsi inizieranno presto sia presso la nostra sede storica di San Diego che in quella satellite di Encinitas. Sono molto felice di iniziare un nuovo anno perché il 2020 sarà pieno di sorprese e ci stiamo preparando per organizzare, per tutti gli amanti della cucina emiliana, un’esperienza unica nella Food Valley. Vi aspetto tutti alla nostra festa di Natale e se non siete ancora membri, fatelo subito. Buone Feste a tutti
Andrea Zarattini - ICC President
Dear members,
it doesn't seem possible, but this year just flew by. In less than a month it will be Christmas and like every year the ICC will celebrate with its traditional potluck. This event will be reserved for members only, so all those who want to participate in this party can do so by becoming members. Joining means not only supporting us but also benefiting from all the advantages that the ICC offers to its members. The new courses will begin soon in Little Italy and in our satellite location in Encinitas. I am very excited to start the new year because 2020 will be full of surprises. For all lovers of Emilian cuisine, we will be organizing an unique experience in the Food Valley. I am looking forward to seeing all of you at our Christmas party and if you are not yet a member, it’s not too late to become one now. Happy Holidays
Andrea Zarattini - ICC President

ICC CLASSES IN ENCINITAS
Check out our North County location: classes for any levels and…so convenient!
In April 2019, we opened a new venue for our language classes in Encinitas at the San Dieguito Heritage Museum. We offer classes from beginning to advanced in grammar and conversation, as well as introductory classes for travelers and intermediate classes on the regions and traditions of Italy. Our classes are taught by veteran ICC teachers. Since April, we have had three sessions with nearly 100 students, most of whom are new to the ICC experience.
Some people take classes to use in their travels, some take classes to advance their language skills, some take classes because they love the sound of the language, and some take classes simply to honor their roots and to find and keep in touch with their Italian cousins. Whatever their reasons, these classes offer them an opportunity to follow their passion conveniently near their homes in North County and in a lovely, pastoral setting with ample free parking.The next session starts January 6, with registration beginning December 1 at www.icc-sd.org. Please join us for a breath of Italy in North County.
As an Italian immigrant, I wanted to recreate the feeling of my homeland, Sicily, here in my adopted home, San Diego. And for me that feeling is found in the old trattorias of my country. Warm, open, joyful, they are welcoming to all who enter. That feeling comes from the authentic food they serve, made by hand and using raw materials.
While my family now resides in California, my heart is in two places: Italy and North Park. That is why I decided to open Cori Pastificio here. To recreate the feeling of home, with a balance of classic and contemporary Italian food that is made from the heart–for my North Park community and San Diego at large.

Where to find us:
Cori Pastificio in North Park
2977 Upas st. San Diego, CA 92104www.coripasta.comFB: @CoriPasta Instagram: @cori_pasta
Cori’s Menu Our seasonally driven menu will focus on artisanal pastas made to order with authentic ingredients, including ancient grains and wheat berries imported from Sicily. We will offer a selection of 6 sharable appetizers, 2 salads, 6 Sicilian-inspired vegan dishes, 8 freshly made pastas, and 2 desserts of the day. A selection of local and Italian beer will be available, along with a wine list that features small, innovative Italian wineries. Sample menu items include:
● Raviolini made from cocoa pasta stuffed with beef oxtail, parsnip root, and orange confit
● Traditional lasagna made with Bolognese sauce and bechamel
● Sicilian escargot roasted with tomato, mint, and garlic confit
● Romana salad comprised of purple mustard leaves, house-fermented garum, citrus, Grana Padano, and roasted seeds
● Crudo of local catch of the day, black olives, capers, cantaloupe extract, and extra virgin olive oil
The style of the restaurant will be that of a classic and comfortable Italian trattoria circa the 70’s, like the places my family dined in during my childhood and to which my earliest food memories are tied. Cori’s kitchen and pasta preparation area will be open so guests can interact with the chefs making their food. A small retail area will be present, where handmade and imported items, including our fresh, small-batch pastas and accompanying sauces, will be available for purchase. Cori is Sicilian dialect for “heart.” It was chosen to reflect the love and soul we are putting into the food and hospitality that awaits our neighbors and local families we very much look forward to serving. My wife and I are excited to welcome you to our new and exciting endeavor.

I PRODOTTI DELL’EMILIA ROMAGNA TRA I PIÙ
COPIATI Un danno incalcolabile per il sistema certificato delle produzioni alimentari che a livello regionale vale oltre 2,5 miliardi di euro e che fa dell’Emilia Romagna la prima regione in Europa per valore dei prodotti Dop/Igp
Sono i prodotti dell’Emilia Romagna gli alimenti più copiati e contraffatti al mondo. Se il Parmigiano Reggiano, il parmesan, è tra i prodotti più copiati e contraffatti al mondo, non lo sono da meno il prosciutto di Parma e l’Aceto balsamico di Modena. Il dato emerge dal lavoro dell’Icqrf (Ispettorato centrale per il controllo della qualità dei prodotti
Tra i prodotti in questione, salumi e formaggi, ma anche olio e frutta
agroalimentari) che nel 2014 ha effettuato 60 segnalazioni ‘ex-officio’ in tutta Europa (dove appunto vige la tutela delle indicazioni geografiche) riguardanti pratiche imitative di prodotti Dop/Igp italiani, delle quali ben 40 relative a denominazioni dell’Emilia Romagna (in primis Parmigiano Reggiano, Aceto Balsamico di Modena e Prosciutto di Parma, appunto).
Un danno incalcolabile per il sistema certificato delle produzioni alimentari che a livello regionale vale oltre 2,5 miliardi di euro e che fa dell’Emilia Romagna la
prima regione in Europa per valore dei prodotti Dop/Igp (15% del valore complessivo legato al paniere di quasi 1.300 Dop/Igp a livello Ue).
Un sistema, quello dei prodotti Dop emiliano-romagnoli, che assorbe oltre il 90% del latte vaccino prodotto in regione, che sostiene l’economia di molte aree svantaggiate (il Parmigiano Reggiano rappresenta la prima Dop italiana per latte vaccino prodotto in montagna, circa 350.000 tonnellate contro le 77.000 del Trentingrana) e che concentra il 73% della produzione di prosciutti Dop italiani.
La rilevanza del mercato statunitense per queste due denominazioni (primo mercato estero di destinazione di Parmigiano Reggiano e Prosciutto di Parma) e la contestuale importanza della tutela delle indicazioni geografiche
oggetto di negoziato in ambito Ttip (l’accordo di libero scambio Usa-Ue) hanno rappresentato i motivi alla base di un recente studio della società di ricerche di mercato Nomisma su origine, italiansounding e tracciabilità dei prodotti agroalimentari.

GIOIELLI DELL’ARIA, GIOIELLI DELLA TERRA
Arriva l’autunno, stagione aurea e placida. Libellule, farfalle, colibrì,
I gioielli dell’aria, tutti se ne andranno, Forse molto lontano…
Papaveri rossi, petunie bianche, margherite, ortensie blu, Appassiscono, invecchiano e muoiono, si chiudono, cadono…
E forse anche loro se ne andranno, i gioielli della terra, Forse molto lontano…
Tuttavia, ne germogliano altri, di gioielli! Adesso fioriscono le gentili viole del pensiero,
Con il loro viso luminoso e sorridente, Le primule gialle, i crisantemi maestosi.
E dopo, questi gioielli della terra, anche loro se ne andranno, Forse molto lontano…
Tuttavia tornerà la primavera, Annunciata dai giacinti azzurri,
E dalle giunchiglie gialle, Fioriranno i lillà profumati,
Ed anche il dolcissimo mughetto, I gioielli della terra.
Torneranno anche libellule, farfalle, e colibrí, I gioielli dell’aria,
Forse da molto lontano…
