My personal copy of Hacker's Delight by Henry S. Warren Jr. Every bit-twiddling trick I ever used came from here. My margins are covered in Italian swear words where a theorem surprised me. Handle carefully.

I will teach you basic MIG welding if you help me finally speak proper Italian. I have been in Trapani 3 years and still order coffee wrong.

Premium Italian ingredients: cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil from Puglia, bronze-die pasta from Gragnano, and genuine DOP San Marzano tomatoes. These are the three ingredients that built Italian cinema -- because every set had a kitchen, and every kitchen had these.

Sophia Loren

🇮🇹 🇬🇧 🇫🇷

From Harlequin to Totò to Marcello Mastroianni -- Italian comedy is a tradition spanning centuries. I teach the physical comedy, the timing, and the heartbreak underneath the laughter. We work scenes from Marriage Italian Style and Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. Marcello was my greatest screen partner. The chemistry was real -- the love was professional.

Sophia Loren

🇮🇹 🇬🇧 🇫🇷

Vittorio De Sica taught me that the best acting is no acting at all. We work on stripping away technique until only the truth remains. Real locations, real emotions, real light. No Hollywood gloss. Tip: If you need to cry, don't think about something sad. Think about something TRUE. The tears take care of themselves.

Sophia Loren

🇮🇹 🇬🇧 🇫🇷

I performed in Swedish, English, Italian, German, and French -- each language changes how you think, gesture, and breathe. We pick two languages and do the same scene in both. You'll discover that your character shifts when the language shifts. That's not a problem -- that's a gift.

Ingrid Bergman

We screen one of my films alongside a Rossellini or De Sica film and trace the evolution from neorealism to surrealism. How did Italian cinema go from Bicycle Thieves to 8 1/2 in fifteen years? The answer is autobiographical. We'll trace it together. Nino Rota's music is mandatory.

Federico Fellini

🇮🇹 🇫🇷

Read the Comedy with someone who wrote it. I'll explain the cosmology, the politics, the theology, and the jokes (yes, there are jokes). Also available: Italian language lessons through poetry. You'll learn Italian the way Italians actually feel it.

Quills, iron gall ink, parchment. The tools I used to write 14,233 lines by hand. I'll show you how to hold the quill and form the letters. Your handwriting will never be the same.
