Symposium: “Italiani e Italianità oltreconfine”

This panel will look at the current situation of Italian emigration in all of its many facets, from a historical perspective of more than one hundred years ago to the more current events. With regard to today’s situation, the sword is double-edged; not only should we look at the legacy of what these one-hundred-plus years have wrought, but we must now look to Italy also as a place of arrival. Panelists include: Salvo Iavarone (Presidente Asmef); Maria Addeo (Asmef); Severino Nappi (Assessore Lavoro e Politiche dell’Emigrazione,Regione Campania); Antonio Giordano (Board Member, NIAF, National Italian American Foundation); Anna Camaiti Hostert (Rome-Chicago); Fred L. Gardaphé, Distinguished Professor of Italian American Studies (Calandra Institute & Queens College); Joseph Sciorra (Calandra Institute & Queens College). Moderated by Anthony Julian Tamburri, Dean, Calandra Institute. Admission: free; open to the public Please note that seating is limited.
