Adventures of the Italian Tooth Mouse and the Baffling Qualities of Gravy: Culture in Dialogue

Florence is a remarkable city, awash with a history and culture that cannot help but affect travelers fortunate enough to experience it. In this presentation I will discuss the growth of my own cultural awareness during my semester abroad in Florence.

Dinners with my Florentine host family offered a rare view of Italian life and I, in turn, attempted to provide them with a window into American culture. Through discussions about the Italian Tooth Mouse and the baffling qualities of gravy, I discovered that culture is a dialogue that can both surprise and inspire those who are willing to participate.
