🇮🇹 A LITTLE ITALY, A LOT OF HISTORY, AND A WONDERFUL AFTERNOON TOGETHER! 📸 ❤️

Thank you to everyone who joined me today at St. Louis Oasis @ Center of Clayton for:

THE HILL: THEN & NOW ⚾ 🇮🇹⛲
A Complete Cultural • Linguistic • Historical Experience
with Speak Italian with Andrea

I left today’s class feeling grateful for the opportunity to share these stories—and confident that we had some fun along the way! 😊

The Hill gives us so much to talk about: families starting over in a new country, friendships formed on neighborhood streets, traditions carried across an ocean, and the people who helped give this corner of St. Louis its unmistakable personality.

Here is a little of what we explored together:

🧳 IMMIGRATION, WORK & RESILIENCE
The experiences of Italian immigrants building new lives, the demanding work in clay mines and brick factories, and the family and neighborhood connections that helped people through difficult times.

⚾ BASEBALL, FRIENDSHIP & FAMILIAR VOICES
Yogi Berra, Joe Garagiola, and Jack Buck—and the connection between sports, storytelling, and the pride people feel in the place they call home.

⚽ THE HILL’S WORLD CUP CONNECTION
Frank Borghi, Charlie Colombo, and Gino Pariani, and the remarkable story of the United States’ victory over England in the 1950 World Cup.

⛪ FAITH, LEADERSHIP & BELONGING
St. Ambrose, Monsignor Salvatore Polizzi, and the importance of gathering places and community leadership in preserving a neighborhood’s identity.

🍝 FAMILY, FOOD & EVERYDAY TRADITIONS
Shared meals, neighborhood shops, familiar faces, and the everyday rituals that keep Italian-American culture alive across generations.

☕ THE HILL TODAY
Piazza Imo, cafés, markets, restaurants, and businesses such as Di Gregorio Market and Volpi Foods—as well as the celebrations that keep bringing people back together.

📖 PRESERVING THE STORIES
We also touched on Joe DeGregorio’s work sharing The Hill’s history, and why remembering the people behind the places matters.

For me, these conversations are a reminder of how much a neighborhood can hold. A storefront, a church, a ball field, or a family recipe can open the door to an entire life story.

🙏 To today’s participants: thank you for spending part of your day with me and bringing your curiosity to the room. I hope these photos bring back a happy memory—and that your next visit to The Hill comes with a little more appreciation for the stories around you.

A heartfelt thank-you to OASIS, Daniel Blunt, and Mary Saputo for their support and for making these opportunities for learning and connection possible. ❤️

🇮🇹🎉🎂 ONE LANGUAGE. A THOUSAND TRADITIONS. A WHOLE YEAR OF REASONS TO CELEBRATE. BENVENUTI ALLA FESTA ALL’ITALIANA! 🇮🇹✨

🎬 TURN UP THE SOUND AND ENJOY THIS SPECIAL VIDEO PREVIEW!

I'm delighted to invite you to the next SPEAK ITALIAN WITH ANDREA experience:

🇮🇹 FESTA ALL’ITALIANA! — ALL ABOUT ITALIAN CELEBRATIONS

From Birthday Wishes to Christmas Traditions — Language, Culture, Grammar & Real-Life Italian.

And this particular gathering has a special meaning for me.

🎂 Saturday, October 24, happens to be my 48th birthday!

Rather than simply celebrating another trip around the sun, I cannot think of a better way to mark the occasion than sharing something I genuinely love: the Italian language, the richness of our traditions, and the joy of bringing people together through learning.

Because in Italy, a festa is never just a celebration. It is an expression of family, friendship, history, identity, and the countless little things that make life worth celebrating. ❤️

🇮🇹 SO, WHAT'S WAITING FOR YOU?

🎂 BUON COMPLEANNO! — Learn to talk about birthdays, ages, dates, and good wishes.

🌼 BUON ONOMASTICO! — Discover the fascinating Italian tradition of celebrating name days.

🎄 BUON NATALE! — Explore Christmas, La Befana, and beloved holiday customs.

🎭 BUON CARNEVALE! — Step into the colorful world of masks, costumes, and Italian festivities.

🐣 BUONA PASQUA! — Discover Easter traditions, Pasquetta, and regional celebrations.

🎆 BUON ANNO! — Celebrate the New Year with authentic Italian expressions.

And along the way, we'll practice real vocabulary, practical grammar, pronunciation, invitations, everyday conversations, cultural discoveries, interactive exercises, and playful language challenges.

You won't simply learn about Italian celebrations.

You'll learn how to talk about them IN ITALIAN! 🇮🇹

✨ NO PREVIOUS ITALIAN EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!

Whether you're an absolute beginner, a returning student, a future traveler to Italy, or simply someone who loves Italian culture, you're warmly welcome.

This is a two-hour, interactive, contribution-based Italian language tutoring session, not a food event or birthday party — although your instructor will happen to be the festeggiato! 😄🎂

And yes, you might leave knowing a little more about Italy, a few more useful Italian expressions, and perhaps a few wonderful new people.

📅 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2026

⏰ 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

📍 CIBC Place — Conference Room, Suite 165
1401 S. Brentwood Blvd.
Brentwood, MO 63144

🅿️ Free garage parking available.

💛 CONTRIBUTION-BASED PARTICIPATION

Suggested contribution: $25–$30 per person

Supporter: $40 | Patron: $50

🎟️ RSVP REQUIRED — LIMITED SEATING

And if you know someone who has always dreamed of learning Italian, traveling to Italy, or discovering its beautiful traditions, please share this video and invitation with them! Your support helps our little Italian-learning community grow.

I often tell my students that learning a language isn't about speaking perfectly. It's about curiosity, connection, and finding the courage to begin.

And perhaps that is a beautiful way to celebrate a birthday, too: not simply counting the years, but continuing to learn, to share, and to discover.

“Non serve parlare perfettamente. Serve cominciare.”

You don't need to speak perfectly. You just need to begin.

🇮🇹 A table for two, plenty of Italian, and a whole country of traditions to explore! Thank you, Marsha, for a lovely morning of language and discovery at ALL ABOUT CARNE. 🥩📚

Today, Marsha joined me for ALL ABOUT CARNE — FROM THE MACELLERIA TO THE TRATTORIA, a morning connecting Italian food vocabulary with practical grammar, regional traditions, and everyday conversation. 🥩📚

Here’s a taste of what we worked on:

🗣️ ORDERING AT THE MACELLERIA
We practiced building polite requests, asking prices, and requesting recommendations:

“Vorrei due etti di prosciutto crudo, per favore.”
I would like 200 grams of cured ham, please.

“Quanto costa al chilo?”
How much does it cost per kilogram?

“Che cosa mi consiglia?”
What do you recommend?

⚖️ GETTING THE QUANTITIES RIGHT
Un etto, due etti, mezzo chilo… these little expressions make a big difference when shopping in Italy! We connected quantities with useful sentence patterns, including:

“Ne vorrei tre etti.”
I would like 300 grams of it.

🥩 KNOWING WHAT YOU’RE ASKING FOR
We explored words for meats such as manzo, vitello, maiale, pollo, agnello, and selvaggina, along with cuts and preparations like bistecca, fettina, carne macinata, and polpette.

We also explored the world of salumi: prosciutto crudo versus cotto, pancetta and guanciale, and the distinctions among salumi, insaccati, and affettati.

📚 MAKING GRAMMAR USEFUL
Articles, plurals, and adjective endings became part of real sentences: una bistecca tenera, due salsicce piccanti, del pollo, della mortadella.

We practiced expressing preferences, too:

“Mi piace il prosciutto.”
I like prosciutto.

“Mi piacciono le salsicce.”
I like sausages.

“Preferisco la carne alla griglia.”
I prefer grilled meat.

🇮🇹 DISCOVERING THE CULTURE INSIDE THE WORDS
Regional specialties, cooking methods, and expressions helped us connect the language with life in Italy—including “mettere troppa carne al fuoco,” meaning to take on too many things at once!

And of course, we explored a classic traveler’s mix-up: Italian peperoni are peppers, not American pepperoni! 🌶️

Grazie di cuore, Marsha, for your curiosity, your support, and for sharing this one-on-one learning experience with me. Wishing you wonderful travels ahead! ✈️

🎉 NEXT: FESTA ALL’ITALIANA!
ALL ABOUT ITALIAN CELEBRATIONS
Special 48th Birthday Edition 🎂

Join us in two weeks as we move from the macelleria to the world of Italian celebrations!

We’ll explore birthdays, name days, Christmas, La Befana, Carnevale, Easter, Ferragosto, and more—while practicing invitations, dates, greetings, grammar, and real conversations.

And October 24 is my actual 48th birthday, so this session has an extra personal meaning for me!

“Vuoi venire?” — Would you like to come?
“Volentieri!” — I’d love to!

📅 Saturday, October 24, 2026

🇮🇹✨ Oggi: sfogliatella da Pete's Italian Baking Company a St. Louis! 🥐❤️

Today Pietro tried sfogliatella for the very first time — and what a beautiful little way to experience a taste of Southern Italy right here in St. Louis. 🇮🇹🇺🇸

Golden, crisp, delicate, and filled with that unmistakable combination of ricotta, semolina, sweetness, and tradition… sfogliatella is so much more than a pastry. 🥐✨ It is history, craftsmanship, family, memory — and a little bit of Italy in every bite. ❤️

For me, moments like this are also a reminder that learning Italian is never just about vocabulary and grammar. 📚🇮🇹

It is about food. 🍽️
It is about traditions. 🏛️
It is about family. ❤️
It is about stories passed from one generation to the next. 👨‍👦
And sometimes… it is simply about watching your son discover a sfogliatella for the first time. 😄🥐

As someone from Salerno — the gateway to the Amalfi Coast 🌊🍋🇮🇹 — seeing Pietro discover the flavors and traditions I grew up with makes these moments especially meaningful.

One bite at a time, culture comes alive. ✨

A special grazie to Pete’s Italian Bakery for keeping a little piece of Italian tradition alive here in St. Louis. 🇮🇹❤️🇺🇸

And now the important question… 👇😄

Have YOU ever tried a sfogliatella? 🥐
Team sfogliatella forever… or is there another Italian pastry that has your heart? ❤️🇮🇹

Con affetto,

🇮🇹 PARLIAMO DI… SFOGLIATELLE! 🇮🇹

What exactly are sfogliatelle?

These iconic pastries from Campania are famous for their extraordinary shell-like shape and dozens of delicate, paper-thin, crispy layers.

The name comes from the Italian word sfoglia, meaning a thin sheet or layer of pastry — and once you see one up close, the name makes perfect sense.

Sfogliatelle are traditionally traced back to the early 1600s and the Santa Rosa monastery in Conca dei Marini, on the Amalfi Coast. According to tradition, a nun created an early version using layered dough filled with semolina cooked in milk, ricotta, sugar, and dried or candied fruit.

Later, pastry chef Pasquale Pintauro brought the idea to Naples, helping turn the sfogliatella into one of the great symbols of Neapolitan pastry-making.

And for me, this pastry has an especially personal connection. I’m from Salerno — the gateway to the Amalfi Coast — so every time I bite into a well-made sfogliatella, there’s a little feeling of being back home. The crisp layers, the ricotta, the citrus… it immediately brings me back to Campania. 🇮🇹❤️

And making them properly is no small task.

The dough has to be rolled extremely thin, layered carefully, rolled into a tight cylinder, chilled, sliced, and then each individual piece is painstakingly opened and shaped by hand into that unmistakable shell before being filled and baked.

👏 And a BIG shout-out to Pete's Italian Baking Company on The Hill here in St. Louis! ⛲ 🇮🇹

Pete’s is a family-owned Italian bakery carrying forward a family baking tradition that dates back to Bommarito’s Bakery in downtown St. Louis in 1947. Today, that legacy continues into the third generation.

The bakery opened at its current location in 2021, first focusing largely on wholesale baking for local restaurants and markets before opening its retail storefront to the community.

They are known for fresh Italian breads, rolls, hoagie sticks, cannoli, pizzelle and other Italian specialties — and their sfogliatelle are absolutely worth trying. Crisp, beautifully layered, and filled with a sweet orange-scented ricotta cream, they are the kind of pastry that instantly takes me back home.

Their shop is geared toward quick pickup rather than dine-in, and they also offer online ordering for next-day pickup and nationwide shipping.

Have you ever had a sfogliatella?

👉 Do you eat it carefully, layer by layer… or just attack the whole thing immediately? 😄🇮🇹

🇮🇹 ATTENZIONE, ST. LOUIS FOOD LOVERS! 🇮🇹

It might be time to fare la spesa all’italiana! 🛒🍝

I stopped by Schnucks and found their expanded Italian section, including the new Culinaria Italian Table collection with products imported from Italy.

Right now, Schnucks is offering 25% OR MORE OFF Italian Table products through October 13! 🤌🇮🇹

Naturally, I had to take a closer look. 😄

There are lots of interesting ingredients to choose from:

🌾 Farro perlato — great for traditional farro salads and rustic Italian dishes.

🍝 Fettuccine all’uovo — ready to pair with your favorite Italian sauce.

🥔 Gnocchi di patate — perfect for classics such as gnocchi alla sorrentina.

🍅 Arrabbiata, marinara and puttanesca sauces — several different ways to bring Italian flavors to the table.

🍇 Aceto balsamico di Modena — one of Italy’s most famous pantry staples.

🥖 Pangrattato — Italian breadcrumbs used in everything from polpette to cotolette and baked dishes.

🍰 Savoiardi — and of course, one word immediately comes to mind…

TIRAMISÙ! ☕️🍫🇮🇹

💡 ITALIAN WORD OF THE DAY:

Fare la spesa = to go grocery shopping

“Devo andare a fare la spesa.”
= “I need to go grocery shopping.”

Now here’s where I need YOUR expertise! 😄

👇 If you walked into this Italian aisle and had to pick ONE of these ingredients to make an Italian recipe, what would you choose?

Would you make:

🍰 Tiramisu?
🥔 Gnocchi alla Sorrentina?
🌾 Insalata di Farro?
🌶️ Pasta all’Arrabbiata?
🍝 Something completely different?

And even better… would you be willing to share YOUR way of making it? 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳

Tell us what you would cook, what ingredients you would add, and any family recipe, secret technique or Italian food tradition you’d like to share in the comments. 🇮🇹❤️

Who knows? We might all learn something from each other — because Italian culture is not only about learning the language. It’s also about sharing stories, traditions and, naturally… food! 🍝

📸 These are some of the products I spotted locally here in St. Louis.

Buona spesa e buon appetito! 🇮🇹🛒

🍰🇮🇹 WHAT A DELIZIOSO MORNING! 🇮🇹🍰

Today we explored ALL ABOUT ITALIAN DESSERTS — Language, Culture & Real-Life Italian!

And yes… we had a very good time doing it. 😋

Our imaginary pasticceria became the perfect place to learn Italian through some of Italy’s most beloved dolci:

🍮 Tiramisù
🥐 Sfogliatelle
🍰 Panna cotta
🥜 Cannoli
🍋 Crostate
🍫 Bignè
🌰 Cantucci & ricciarelli
🎄 Panettone & pandoro
🍧 Gelato, sorbetto & granita

But we didn't just learn dessert vocabulary!

We practiced real Italian you could actually use in a pastry shop:

🗣️ Vorrei… — I would like…
🗣️ Prendo… — I’ll have…
🗣️ Che cosa mi consiglia? — What do you recommend?
🗣️ Quanto costa? — How much does it cost?
🗣️ Posso pagare con la carta? — May I pay by card?
🗣️ Basta così, grazie. — That’s all, thank you.

Along the way, we worked with grammar, pronunciation, ingredients, quantities, prices, preferences, and practical conversation. 📚🇮🇹

And, of course, there was plenty of laughter, conversation, and good-natured Italian-language improvisation. 🤌😂

Because learning a language doesn't have to feel like studying for a test.

It can be food, culture, conversation, mistakes, laughter, curiosity—and a little bit of dolce vita. ❤️🇮🇹

☕🍰 A LITTLE ITALIAN HOSPITALITY

To make our pasticceria experience even more authentic, everyone enjoyed complimentary:

🍪 Matilde Vicenzi pasticcini
🍰 Tiramisù from “Samuele’s Bakery”
(You know… Sam’s Club. 😂)

☕ Freshly brewed Moka espresso
💧 CIAO! San Pellegrino flavored waters

Let's just say the espresso made our imaginary Italian pastry shop considerably more convincing. 😄☕

📖 KEEP THE ITALIAN GOING!

Everyone went home with the ALL ABOUT ITALIAN DESSERTS workbook for review.

No need to memorize everything! Pick a few words or phrases you enjoyed, say them aloud, revisit the exercises, and let the Italian sink in.

Piano piano. 🇮🇹

That's how language becomes familiar.

🥩🔥 NEXT STOP: CARNE! 🇮🇹

Our next adventure takes us from the pasticceria → macelleria → trattoria!

🥩🍖🍗 ALL ABOUT CARNE! — From the Macelleria to the Trattoria

…and more!

We'll practice useful Italian for ordering, asking prices, quantities like un etto, due etti, mezzo chilo, requesting things sliced or prepared a certain way, talking about cooking methods and preferences—and recovering gracefully when your Italian suddenly decides to disappear. 😂🤌

And yes…

🙏🥩 THE ITALIAN CARNE PRAYER is coming.

😂🇮🇹

I think this one is going to be a lot of fun!

Beginners are always welcome. You don't need to be fluent, and you certainly don't need perfect Italian.

Just come curious.

Come curioso. Leave speaking Italian. 🇮🇹❤️

Can't make October 10? I also offer private Italian tutoring via Zoom by appointment on a different day, tailored to your goals and interests.

A huge GRAZIE to everyone who joined me today! ❤️🇮🇹

Thank you for bringing your curiosity, laughter, questions, and willingness to speak Italian.

This is the kind of community I hoped we could create here in St. Louis:

Language. Culture. Food. Humor. Conversation. Connection.

Good morning! What would you like?
