Talk:Lidia Bastianich

message: The previous discussions, which mainly related to Bastianich’s cultural and ethnic origins vis-à-vis her place of birth, have been archived here as per Wikipedia’s talk archiving policies. Rather that restart that discussion, most editor’s should find what they’re looking for there without needing to begin such discussion anew. — SpikeToronto (talk) 18:36, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The biography of a living person box at the top of this talk page classifies this article as a stub, which it no longer is. Does anyone now how to get the WikiProject Biography and the WikiProject Food and drink to reclassify the article so that it no longer indicates that it is a stub? Thanks! — SpikeToronto (talk) 18:25, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

message: A series of anonymous edits made on September 7, 2009, should be reverted for several reasons:
#This is not an article about Istrians/Croatians in America, it is an article about a particular individual who identifies as Italian and settled in New York.
#Many of the insertions — such as statments about Istrian/Croatian settlement patterns in New York City — had nothing to do with the citations in the article, thus rendering the references given at the end of sentences incorrect and no longer applicable. In fact, all the statements were now essentially unsourced.
#The unsourced statements regarding Istrian/Croatian settlement patterns in NYC are better suited to a separate article.
#As it is, they and their impact on this family’s settlement decisions are original research contrary to Wikipedia policies and guidelines.
#Entire, sourced and referenced sections of the article were deleted wholesale, deletions which did not contribute to the betterment of the article.
#While seemingly innocuous in a cursory, edit-by-edit review, the edits are in fact tenditious.
#Many of the edits added regarding personal issues such as the subject’s divorce are unsourced and violate WP:BLP.
8. How is it posssible for the family to have fled in 1958 from Istria to Italy and then two years later flee to New York , also in 1958?

message: I was present at a book signing (11/17/10) of Lidia's at Barnes & Nobles and learned that she cooked for Pope Benedict XVI in 2008. She said that she cooked on Friday evening and two meals after that (Saturday lunch and dinner I presume). She detailed that she cooked a fish dinner on Friday for the Pope but the following article describes it was a Saturday lunch and dinner that included fish (along with a Sunday dinner on the next day). Lydia did not mention specific dates but the following article details her entire experience:
http://www.seriouseats.com/2008/04/lidia-bastianich-cooking-for-pope-benedict-xvi-the-menu-revealed.html
Other details were included that the event was not only his birthday but also his anniversary as being elected as Pope (birthday was April 16, papacy began on April 19th).
Lidia not only described the experience but also mentioned that her most memorable person she cooked for was Pope Benedict. This fact should be included in her entry but I do not know if there is enough references available to cite the exact dates. She also mentioned that the Pope did in fact, after asking him directly, say that he found her meal pleasurable and reminded him of his own mother's cooking.
On a side note, she also mentioned she would be appearing on the Today Show on NBC (11/18/10) and The View (11/19/10) which I am also unsure of as these are future events. She also mentioned her future documentary on Bloomberg TV.
To be specific, this information was heard at her book signing at Barnes and Nobles on 11/17/10 in Kingston, NY. The event can be found on her blog here:

replies: text: This is still not perfectly clear. The book you cite as proof in the article (Deskbook of International Criminal Law, by Craig Barker, Taylor & Francis, 20 Dec. 2005) is apparently in English, but you reference it on a Belgian site, in Belgian, and the citation doesn't state a page or pages where it's clearly stated that Pula was part of Italy when Lidia Bastianich was born. It was under some kind of occupation by the Allies, the United States and Great Britain. You need better proof and citations, being said literally by a scholar in a scholarly work. If Barker's work says it, cite the page(s) in the footnote. --- Wikiklrsc (talk) 05:20, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Before Italian fascists annexed Istria, it had been a part of Yugoslavia before WWII and had a majority Croatian population. Trieste had been occupied by the Yugoslav People's Army, and was returned to Italy.  But at the time Bastianich was born, Pola/Pula had been a legal territory of SFR of Yugoslavia, and was not "occupied."  Under international law, Yugoslavia was entitled to keep Trieste, since Italian invasion constituted a war of aggression,and Yugoslavia having liberated itself from the Nazi occupation, was therefore entitled to keep the areas of Italy it occupied as part of its resistance to fascism. They did not, however, and withdrew from Trieste. To claim that Pola was "Yugoslav-occupied" in 1947 is to repeat fascist propaganda. The people who live in Croatia on the coast are not invaders or occupiers. Genetically, the entire region from Bosnia to Northern Italy groups together as an ancient population that lived in this area for thousands of years.
