Toronto-Canada
- Abies Babies Manager Marisa Lang enjoys the company of international
renowned actor Franco Nero. Mr. Nero is well known as one of
the original Spaghetti-Western kings. His classic flick Django
is still one of the best selling dvd's of all time. Mr. Nero
was first discovered by director John Huston, who cast him in
"The Bible: In The Beginning" (1967). That same year
he appeared in Camelot as Sir Lancelot, where he met his long-time
romantic partner Vanessa Redgrave, whom he later married. In
2010, Nero and Redgrave paired up in the film Letters to Juliet.
The handsome blue-eyed actor was recently in Toronto to receive
a star on the Italian Walk of Fame along with the Common Spirit
Award for his contribution to the arts. Visit www.italianwalkoffame.com

HUG HUG KISS KISS
There's an old saying, "If
you want to know…just ask". The SoHo Hotel in downtown
Toronto is what they call a boutique hotel. I've never really
understood what that meant until my partner and I spent a couple
of days hanging out with our inductees, which included Armand
Assante. Yes, that Armand. The staff at the SoHo is what I call
hip and pronto and very informed. Lanfranco, the Italian concierge,
has been in the room business forever and his encounter with
celebrity cakes has been many. Over the past couple of years
we have become good friends with Franco and often converse in
our native tongues. I walked into SENSES, a dimly-lit upscale
watering hole with comfortable couches, designer chairs and an
assortment of alcohol that lined the endless bar like a lightshow.
We made contact with Mr. Assante and greeted each other in the
customary Italian fashion, hug hug, kiss kiss. Our server was
quick and I ordered two Martini and Rossi, red, frozen-cold,
without any ice.
Having spent the last 30 years in Tinsletown hasn't hardened
me. I still feel the aweness of meeting someone special and "Il
Duro" was very much that. We chatted about kids, making
movies, living on a farm. We even managed to discuss my fall
that left me broken-fingered. We talked about family and roots.
The more we filled the room with colorful common verbiage, the
more we connected. Our humorous repartee confirmed the commonality
of our heritage and the strength that our ancestors had endured
for us. We made our way to Forget About It, a trendy restaurant
in the ever-expanding entertainment district of TO. The last
time we were there was for a reading of Ice Time, a film based
on the life of legendary hockey icon, Phil Esposito, which seemed
to have melted away to nothing. Like true hungry gladiators,
we all managed to down a feast of Italian delectable dishes,
a few bottles of wine and more tasty conversation. Mike, our
click-happy photographer never missed a moment in capturing the
purity of undisguised presence. In the famous words of Elvis,
"It was a night, um what a night, it was really such a night."
We undid a few holes in our belts and proceeded to hail a couple
of cabs to take us back at the SoHo. It was hug hug, kiss kiss,
once again and a buona notte to an evening that will dance in
our hearts forever.
O.P.P. – The 100th anniversary of the Ontario
Provincial Police (OPP) was more than a celebration of beginnings,
it was a tribute to the men and women who, for 100 years, have
been patrolling the highways and roadways within the province
of Ontario. Commissioner Julian Fantino and his crew allowed
us into the history and workings of this prestigious force that
began in 1909. Our host, Sam Ciccolini, is no stranger to the
duties of contribution and welfare to this province. A recipient
of the Order of Canada, Mr. Ciccolini eloquently guided us throughout
this milestone event. Premier Dalton McGuinty gave his campaign
speech (not really) and showed sincere gratitude to these men
and women in uniform that, for a century, have helped keep the
province of Ontario a safe place to live.
BIG CHECK BIG HEART - Proceeds raised during the Italian Walk
Of Fame Gala Awards Dinner were donated to the Abruzzo Earthquake
Relief Fund. The live auction during the lavish evening at the
Riviera Parc offered an assortment of exquisite items, some autographed
by the inductees honored that day including rare collectable
movie posters donated by Marco Mastrangelo and signed by the
one and only Giancarlo Giannini. A collection of Phil Esposito
sweaters representing his NHL career, donated by Sam Ciccolini
and signed by Mr. Esposito himself, were also in high demand.
Up for grabs as well were a few cases of special edition bottles
of wine commemoratively labeled in honor of the first annual
Italian Walk of Fame, signed by all 5 inductees and donated by
Central Valley Wines. Co-founders of IWOF Jimi Bertucci, Marisa
Lang, the honorable Mr. Justice Frank Iacobucci and Gala Chairperson

Mr. sugar sugar and Marisa
smiling for the camera. Over the past few years Andy Kim has
become a friend to Jimi and Marisa. The three often meet up at
charity events and Andy's Christmas Show has become an annual
tradition in Toronto. Andy was born and raised in Montreal and
came onto the music scene in the late 60's with a string of hits
which included How'd We Ever Get This Way, Sugar Sugar, Baby
I Love You and Rock Me Gently to name a few. His most recent
project is a new album, his first in over 20 years titled, Happen
Again, released by E1 Music Canada.
Marisa
was glued to the radio and television. She sang along with popular
songs and imitated the bloob tube celebrities. As a teen growing
up in Trieste and Toronto, she would keep in touch with the world
with all her subscriptions of teen magazines. Her bi-coastal
lifestyle allowed her to have a good sense of fashion and trends.
Her father was a proud man that served in the Italian Army and
her mother was the loving caring protective Italian mom. A graduate
of York University majoring in Psychology she would soon discover
that entertainment was somehow still flowing through her creative
senses. She decided to leave a successful career in Psychiatric
research and form her own company Marisa Lang Management. Over
the years her company MLM would go on to manage some very important
artists, administrate an extensive catalog of music for James
Bert Publishing of which she is part owner. "To me being
a part of this historic event is an honor, the IWOF represents
hope to the future of our heritage".
Toronto Film Festival - All aboard!
Look who Marisa Lang and Jimi Bertucci happened to bump into
at the Toronto International Film festival...Melissa DiMarco
(centre), actress/TV personality and host of Out There with Melissa
DiMarco. An abundance of yummy hors d'euvres were served and
the champagne flowed at the Italian Cinema party aboard the Kajama
Tall Ship docked at Toronto's harbour. The three had lots to
chat about, including the launch of the Italian Walk of Fame
which Bertucci and Lang are spearheading. They even took time
out from their schmoozing to shoot a short scene that will air
in the coming weeks on DiMarco's TV show. Photo by Tony Morrone
TORONTO, CANADA
- Actor Robert Davi and Marisa schmoozing
at the Italian Film Festival wrap party held at Toula’s
on top of the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel in Toronto . Mr. Davi’s
film, The Dukes, which he directed and also starred in, ended
the festival’s 5-day long run with a bang by getting rave
reviews. A departure from his familiar role as “the bad
guy”, the "dramedy", as he describes it, showed
us all there is a lighter, more charming, side to the man. The
screening took place earlier that same evening at the Bloor St.
Cinema and marked the film’s Canadian premier.
Marisa and friends taking
in the food fun and feast at the San Gennaro festival in Hollywood.
"Some of my fondest childhood memories are those of the
Italian feasts we celebrated in Brooklyn and then later, Las
Vegas. Nine years ago, my friend Doug DeLuca and I decided that
Los Angeles deserved its own San Gennaro feast and we set out
to make that happen. Thanks to the efforts and generosity of
our many great sponsors and volunteers, the feast has become
a much-anticipated and well-loved annual event. But the feast
isn’t only about diving headfirst into a sack of zeppoles.
It is about coming together to celebrate Italian-American culture
and, more importantly, making time for family and friends.”
Late Night Talk Show Host, Jimmy Kimmel Live Chairman, San Gennaro

We rehearsed the song maybe two
or three times. It was a brand new song I just completed and
thought it would be apropos for the gig. Alli’s Journey
is a non-profit, charitable organization that was created by
a young woman named Alli Shapiro Amar. She was diagnosed with
cancer at the age of 19. While enduring 7 years of treatment,
Alli and her mother, Pam Shainhouse, noticed the lack of resources
for young adults with cancer and were determined to do something
about it. Great gig great cause. (read
more about the show)AC ROCK AND SPARK CENTRE FOR A GREAT CAUSE - The George Weston Recital
hall is just that, a recital hall. When I walked into this incredibly
designed structure per l'arte de l'arte at the Toronto Centre
for the Arts, I was quickly
reminded of my days in Europe sprinting from one acoustically
perfect theatre to another. There is almost a spiritual aura
when you're standing in rooms still emanating the essence of
music that has the ability to reach out and touch the inner soul.
I was early and decided to try and catch the sound check. As
I approached the back stage I was stopped by a security guard
asking me for credentials. I showed him my press pass and satisfied
his curiosity. In an authoritative tone he expressed that the
band did not want anyone present during sound check. I said "ok"
and walked to a local restaurant to kill some time before the
concert. I knew AC was closing the show and decided I need not
rush. An hour and a bottle of Masi red later...(more)
