Ecco la nuova generazione italo-canadese

Giovedì sera è stato presentato il libro dedicato ai giovani imprenditori

Di ELENA SERRA
Articolo pubblicato il: 2011-01-29
 
TORONTO - È stato presentato giovedì sera al Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP di Bay street il libro Made in Canada, the Italian Way: The Next Generation promosso dalla Camera di Commercio Italiana in Ontario (Icco). Il libro raccoglie le interviste realizzate a 34 giovani professionisti italo-canadesi, che hanno già raggiunto livelli di esperienza in settori come quello degli affari, dell’arte, scienza e scultura.
«Sfogliando questo libro si può subito capire - ha spiegato l’executive director dell’Icco Corrado Paina al Corriere Canadese - che questi ragazzi hanno già raggiunto una esperienza di vita e un successo che sono incredibili, soprattutto alla loro età». Questo, secondo Paina, è un dato molto importante per l’intera comunità italiana: «Il fatto che vi siano giovani di tale successo permette che avvengano cambiamenti radicali all’interno della comunità italo-canadese - continua il direttore - La loro maturità è infatti un elemento fondamentale per far si che finalmente le comunità si compatti e riesca a compiere quelle scelte che ne proteggeranno l’esistenza». I 34 ritratti pubblicati sulle pagine di Made in Canada, the Italian Way: The Next Generation rappresentano quindi una ventata di freschezza per una realtà, quella italo-canadese, che necessita di un’apertura verso l’esterno pur mantenendo la propria identità.
Circa 300 persone hanno preso parte all’evento di giovedì sera, che ha celebrato non solo il libro, ma una generazione intera. «È stato un evento molto bello - conclude Paina - soprattutto perché tutti i partecipanti hanno acquistato una copia del libro. Questo permetterà di diffondere ancora di più le storie di eccellenti successi di questi giovani italo-canadesi».
Per chi fosse interessato all’acquisto, è possibile trovare il libro nelle librerie o contattando la Camera di Commercio Italiana dell’Ontario al 416-789-7169

Coco Hobo: The Blog "Review"

Coco Hobo: The Blog, (this British-Canadian vagabond, concrete poet, philosopher, amateur epicure, intrepid traveller, avid outdoorsman, owner of Innings Gate Co.) reviews the opening night receiption of Ciba Karisik at De Luca Fine Art | Gallery and I'm going to have to say, "she liked it!".

..........So the event kicked off at 6pm, and entertained a steady stream of buyers, voyeurs, and epicures until the food and wine was packed up at 10pm. By eight o'clock the party was so full, it felt more like a club night than an exhibit opening. I was screaming at my friends J and M over the conversation. So loud. Other gallery events I've been to did not have this kind of atmosphere (save I guess for the Power Ball and AGO Massive Party lol). My fellow entrepreneur colleague, who shall remain nameless, actually said she went to an opening at 1313 Gallery before coming to the Ciba party, and it was "nothing like this." Has De Luca Fine Art become the next hotspot on the block??......
