The earthquake that struck the capital of the Abruzzi region on April 6, 2009 is a human and cultural catastrophe of exceptional magnitude. The historical center has been closed off and its population forced to
relocate. If L’Aquila was born in the Middle Ages out of the desire to bring together the communities of the surrounding mountains and valleys, this tragic turn of events has turned the clock back, scattering the Aquilani far from their homes. The solidarity of the Italian- American community can play an important role in the reconstruction.

Lecture on the role and significance of religion and superstition in the lives of Italians and Italian Americans. Professor Primeggia will explore traditional and non- traditional religious practices.
