Since he first arrived at Stony Brook in 1970, Prof. Mignone has brought well over 3000 students to study Italian language and culture at the Stony Brook Rome Center, which he also started. A committed intellectual and author of authoritative critical works on fiction and theatre, as well as on Italian migration, editor of several anthologies and author of the most accessible general Introduction to Modern Italy, it is fitting that on his 70th birthday the community of friends, colleagues and scholars from several fields dedicate this scholarly gathering to him as a token of appreciation for his lifetime dedication and achievement in higher education and in bridging cultures across time and space.
