Title
Leonardo da Montreal: The Rhetoric of Italianità and the Canadian Post-Nation
Abstract
An analysis of the rhetoric of "Italianità" or "Italianicity" via an architectural object -- the Leonardo da Vinci Cultural Centre in Montreal's St. Leonard district. In the past, narratives of Italian immigration figured a reflective type of nostalgia. The author argues that the Leonardo da Vinci Cultural Centre projects the Italian community into the future, revealing a restorative type of nostalgia.
