New regulation relating to the acquisition of
Italian citizenship based on marriage to an
Italian citizen.
Maeci Law n. 132 (December 1, 2018) introduced some news concerning
citizenship, particularly regarding the language requirement. The new law is in
force since 4 December 2018.
This provision provides, as a condition for the recognition of citizenship
pursuant to arts. 5 ("Citizenship through Marriage or Same-Sex Union") and 9 of
the aforementioned law, possession of an adequate knowledge of Italian, not less

Cosa sarebbe successo in Italia?
My son and I were watching a car show on TV. In a segment, the presenters were running a super-car race inside
a frescoed French Renaissance style building, formerly a theater -now a parking structure: the Michigan Theater in
Detroit. While watching, the question came up: “cosa sarebbe successo in Italia?
According to Historic Detroit “[t]he 4,038-seat Michigan Theatre was designed in the French Renaissance style
in 1925 and was simply unrivaled in Detroit in elegance at the time. The Michigan was built at Bagley and Cass
avenues at a cost of more than $3.5 million ($42.4 million today, when adjusted for inflation).” The Michigan Theater
closed as a theater in 1976. “In 1977, the building’s owners paid $525,000 to gut the theater and build a three-level,
160-space parking deck inside it. The mezzanine and balcony were brought down, as was the grand staircase and one
wall of the grand lobby.” Historic Detroit explains.
Both Italy and the U.S. have laws regarding historic preservation aiming at protecting historic property and
cultural heritage. In both countries building permitting occurs mostly at the local levels and conditions may be
imposed on use of the property in the case public funds were received for its restoration or maintenance. In spite of
these similarities, differences are considerable.
The first difference lies with the Constitutions.
The United States Constitution limits the powers of
the State in several ways which affect the force with which
the State could protect historic properties. In the first
place, the Takings Clause does not allow the State to
interfere with private ownership; secondly, the First
Amendment limits the possibility of historic preservation
ordinances being enforced against religious owners, as it
could be argued the State would be limiting the Free-
Exercise Clause. On the other hand, the Constitution of
Italy grants the State the authority over the promotion and the protection of its heritage.
Based on this authority, the State has exclusive powers to promote and enhance historic patrimony and to
guarantee its conservation. It must protect, and demand protection of, historic property within its territory, be that
public, private, or belonging to religious organizations.
As regards legislation, the U.S. National Historic Properties Act (NHPA) does not determine duties for
preservation and protection. The goal of the Act is to identify historic properties and have interested parties
integrate through a strict consultation process. The Federal government’s only responsibility is to “accelerate historic
preservation programs” and to cooperate with state and local governments to achieve this goal, nothing else. Clearly,
these duties are in sharp contrast with those the Italian Code imposes, which are to ensure, support, and guarantee
the enhancement and maintenance of historic property. The Code represents the main legislative reference for the
protection, conservation and enhancement of the Italian historic property.
The Italian Code gives the State the power to police the condition of historic property, to authorize restoration
or maintenance work, to issue permits, and even to determine which professions are authorized to work on the
properties. It imposes the duty of conservation on public institutions, but also on private organizations or
individuals, and even on religious organizations. Inspectors visit sites before, during, and after the works are carried
out, their thumbs up or down can make an immense difference in terms of the timing and cost of a project.
What about the Michigan Theater, then?
The cost of restoring or even maintaining a historic propriety can be huge. Given the lack of teeth the NHPA
has, one way the U.S. incentivizes protection for historic property is to provide tax relief for work done to buildings
and sites listed on the National Register of Historic Properties. Today, those incentives correspond to a reduction in
income tax of up to 20% of the costs incurred on improvements for the property. Still, not enough considering there
is no duty to preserve the property. It is far cheaper to demolish the deteriorated building or assign it to another
purpose – such as a parking structure.
If the Michigan Theater were situated in Italy, the owners would have had the duty to restore and maintain it,
and to pay for such work. The Italian Code imposes the costs of interventions on historic property on the owners or
possessors. In the case the Ministry (Ministero dei Beni e delle Attività Culturali e del Turismo) decides to do the
restoration itself, all expenses are passed on to the owner or possessor in a percentage decided by the Ministero.
Some of the cost incurred by private owners could be somehow offset with governmental refunds. However,
these are not commonly requested as the procedure takes too long and is complicated.
Il Mosaico 3In short, turning back to the original question of what would have happened if the privately owned Michigan
Theater had been situated in Italy; for sure it would not have been turned into a public parking structure, let alone
appear on an Amazon show, if it had been -otherwise owners could have faced not only civil but criminal charges. In
addition, the owners would have had to pay for the restoration and maintenance, and probably open the property to
the public – at least partially. Are those too heavy a burden for historic property owners or just right to keep our
cultural heritage in good shape for the future generations?

Wayne State University “Pucci Award”
Il 23 aprile, come ogni anno alla Wayne State
University durante la cerimonia dedicata al Prof.
Domenico Pucci, abbiamo premiato i migliori studenti
dei nostri corsi di italiano di lingua, cultura e letteratura.
È sempre un evento di partecipazione e condivisione
con la comunità per celebrare la nostra bella lingua e
cultura tutti insieme.
Ogni anno si possono vedere gli splendidi lavori fatti
dai ragazzi durante l’anno accademico. Quest’anno
abbiamo avuto l’onore di assistere a una splendida e
simpatica esibizione musicale della famiglia della
studentessa Jane Thornton, che con i suoi due fratelli,
Alex e John hanno interpretato una canzone dei Modà,
Come un pittore. C. Manganiello, L. Adelfi , Prof. De Benedictis, Nicola DePalma,
Un’altra importante novità -che sottolinea la stretta Tullio Di Michele, Prof. E.Past
collaborazione tra Wayne State e la Società Dante
Alighieri del Michigan- è stata l’assegnazione di due
tessere di iscrizione alla Società ai due migliori studenti
vincitori dei premi Seros (Tullio Di Michele) e del
prestigioso premio Pucci (Nicola DePalma).
On April 23, 2019 at Wayne State University “Pucci
Award” ceremony, we recognized our best Italian students from
all level and classes: language, culture and literature.
This is the most awaited event and ceremony when Wayne State
celebrates the Italian language and culture with the community.
Every year there is a showcase of the incredible projects our
students created during the year, and this year we were very
fortunate to have a fun and exciting musical performance by one
Italian student, Jane Thornton, who sang a song by the Italian
pop group Modà (Come un pittore), along with her two brothers:
John, and 10-year-old Alex.
For the first time this year, underlying the solid collaboration
between Wayne State and the Dante Alighieri Society of
Michigan, the DAS offered two free membership cards to our best
students: Tullio Di Michele (recipient of the Seros Award) and
Nicola DePalma (recipient of our prestigious Pucci Award).

Arquata del Tronto (Ascoli Piceno)
Proprietà della Curia di Ascoli Piceno
Un doveroso aggiornamento a seguito della cena del 12 ottobre 2016 che la Dante Alighieri, in
collaborazione con Silvio Medoro (Silvioʼs Organic Pizza, Ann Arbor, MI), ha organizzato per raccogliere
fondi da destinare a Capodacqua, frazione di Arquata del Tronto, Ascoli Piceno, Marche, Italia.
I fondi raccolti durante e dopo lʼevento sono stati trasferiti allʼAssociazione Capodacqua Viva per
progetti di recupero architettonico, culturale e aggregativo. La somma erogata è stata pari a $6,286.00.
Altri fondi sono stati destinati al FAI Fondo Ambiente Italiano che si è mobilitato per Capodacqua con il
restauro della Cappella della Madonna del Sole. La somma erogata è stata pari a $1,500.00.
Cari generosi Amici,
sono passati quasi tre anni dalla drammatica notte del
24 agosto 2016 quando una terribile scossa di
terremoto ha colpito il comune di Arquata del Tronto.
Grazie al vostro generoso gesto il FAI si è potuto
attivare subito per mettere in sicurezza l’Oratorio
della Madonna del Sole nella frazione di Capodacqua.
Il 29 settembre 2016, infatti, vengono effettuati i
primi sopralluoghi finalizzati alla definizione di un
piano di recupero del bene e su spinta del FAI,

intervento la fortissima scossa del 30 ottobre 2016,
salva l’architettura dell’Oratorio.
Oggi vi scrivo per aggiornarvi su quanto fatto fino ad
ora e ringraziarvi per il vostro generoso gesto, di
fondamentale importanza per continuare a svolgere la
nostra missione di cura di luoghi speciali in Italia.
In allegato troverete un aggiornamento sul progetto,
oltre ad una cronistoria fotografica di tutte le fasi
dell’intervento.
Rimango a vostra disposizione per ulteriori
chiarimenti e, con la speranza di avervi sempre
generosamente vicini al nostro lavoro, vi invio grato
saluto.

La Dante Alighieri del Michigan, si complimenta con Sofia Tonin per la scelta del progetto
Quando si vive all’estero è sempre molto difficile mantenere i legami affettivi, culturali e di conoscenza
del nostro Paese. Specialmente per i figli degli espatriati. Insegnare agli altri quanto di bello il nostro Paese
offre è una opera intrinseca alla nostra missione.
Per questo motivo, i Comitati Educazione e Cultura hanno assegnato a Sofia una scholarship di
$200.00.
Complementi Sofia!
Sofia Tonin, è una studentessa presso l'International Academy
di Bloomfield Hills in Michigan e socia della DAS Michigan. Una
parte del suo "Sophomore Personal Project" prevedeva la
creazione di un progetto di valore sociale.
Sofia ha così deciso di realizzare un libro illustrato per
bambini dai 6 agli 8 anni di età. Il libro racconta la storia di due
marmotte, un nipotino e un nonno. Prendendo spunto dalle
fotografie di un vecchio album il nonno racconta al nipotino dei
suoi viaggi e avventure in Italia. Un racconto sui monumenti e
luoghi famosi: la Torre di Pisa, la Fontana di Trevi, Il Colosseo, il
Ponte di Rialto, i Trulli e Pompei. Il libro contiene anche delle
schede tecniche con informazioni sui monumenti analizzati.
Un libro bilingue (italiano ed inglese) con l‘intento di
insegnare ai bambini la cultura italiana divertendosi.
Il Mosaico 6Update on DAS Education
As usual, the “Dante” continues to offer L1 and L2 Italian courses for adults and children at all levels in
Bloomfield Hills, Ann Arbor, and Northville.
Additions for the summer include Italian refresher courses, Italian for Tourists and Italian through
Food (Parla come Mangi) for adults. For children, regular courses start at age 3 with MagiFiaba all the way
to preparation for the AP in Italian exam.
Starting in September, we are offering exciting new courses to suit a variety of interests like Italian
through Music and Italian through Gestures, and Art and Culture mini-courses for advanced speakers of
Italian and native speakers; coming up is Power of Fashion that will end up with a visit to the Toledo
exhibition here at the DIA. We are also offering Italian language classes for individuals with special needs.
As we already told you, DAS Michigan has been registered as a PLIDA certification center. PLIDA
certificates are validated by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a marker of Italian language skills,
and satisfy, among others, the requirement of proof of Italian skills to be admitted to an Italian university
or to obtain Italian citizenship though marriage.
If you are interested in taking one of these classes please contact our Education committee at:
