Teatro Carniglia: A Film and Panel Discussion on Jerry Carniglia

July 13, 2017In conjunction with the exhibit, Jerry Carniglia: A Tribute, the Museo Italo Americano together with the Western Chapter of the Italian American Studies Association will host a film and panel discussion on Carniglia’s life and work to highlight the artist’s background, philosophy, and working methods. Panelists will include Oakland artist and curator Anthony Pinata and Carniglia trustee Margaret Fisher of MAFISHCO Theatre Company. The program will begin with the screening of a short documentary film on Jerry’s creative methods and inspiration entitled Painting Rules. The film – soon to be released on DVD – was made by Emmy-nominated, award-winning filmmakers, Marylou and Jerome Bongiorno in 2008, when both they and Jerry were fellows at the MacDowell Colony, one of the country’s leading artist colonies. Audience participation will be encouraged following the film and presentations.

July 23, 2017After great popular demand, Alfredo Imparato will return to the Museo to give two performances in July.
Mr. Imparato is one of the last wandering street minstrels, or Posteggiatori, of Naples. In 2013, he performed for enthusiastic overflow audiences at the Museo and he will be back to perform his enthralling versions of Canzoni Napoletane, or Neapolitan songs, just as he regularly does for the admiring locals in the streets and piazze of Naples.
The performance will be preceded by a short talk on the history and tradition of Neapolitan songs and i Posteggiatori by local musician Kathy Sherak. A reception will follow both performances.
Please note there will be another performance on July 27 at 7pm, be sure you book for the correct performance.
