Dear All, 
I think it is important to listen to what Paola has to say. Maybe she is the best person to advise us in this moment. In any case I wish you all a relaxing and regenerating holiday.

> 1) I wonder why we have not been asked to drop names for the conference during our last meeting in June, or later by mail? It would have made things easier. Most people in Italy (and in England as well) are out of reach (or exhausted) at the end of July.

> 2) Why Lavagetto seems the only possible candidate?
> 
> He is of course an authority on psych. and lit. but a little bit aged, in my opinion.
> 
> I think it is not a good idea to focus exclusively on literature and psychoanalysis. In Italy, the only area of the humanities where it is possible to find a deep interest in psychoanalysis and humanities (literature,aestethics, cinema, etc.) is philosophy, and very little outside it.
> 
> Here are some names that could be wonderful to have in any conference on psychoanalysis and the humanities in Italy (and I have not mentioned any psychoanalyst or psychiatrist; some of them write beautiful poetry and literature, as we all know).
> 
> As to literature, I would suggest the names of:  Franco Rella (my favourite, University of Venice); Antonio Prete (University of Siena), and Claudio Magris (he retired early, but I think that we could ask him to give a contribution on Trieste and the birth of Italian psychoanalysis; this could be a wonderful contribution); Jacqueline Risset (university of Rome "Sapienza" knows everything on this subject).
> 
>   As to philosophy, I would suggest the names of: Remo Bodei (Univ. of Pisa and New York); Aldo Gargani (Univ. of Pisa), and Pier Aldo Rovatti (my favourite, university of Trieste, and editor of the journal "Aut Aut" in Milan). I am sure that you know all of them and might already have contacted them. I do not have the addresses of these people, but it is easy to find them on the web.

> I will be off next Monday, and I wish all of you: buona estate!!
