italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies Dear All: I also find this discussion quite stimulating, and I tend to agree with Dino on all counts (which, by the way, may sound strange, but it's true!). I also think that perhaps a forum for open discussion, such as a blog, could be quite interesting and useful as a venue to circulate our on-going research and get immediate feedback.
