italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies Istituto Nazionale per la Storia del Movimento di Liberazione in Italia http://www.italia-liberazione.it/it/ The National Institute for the History of the Liberation Movement in Italy (L'Istituto nazionale per la storia del movimento di liberazione in Italia) was founded by Ferruccio Parri in 1949 with the scope of collecting, preserving, and studying the documentary patrimony of the Voluntary Corps for Liberty (Corpo Volontari della Libertà) and the Committee for National Liberation Northern Italy (Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale Alta Italia). In the course of more than 50 years of activity, it has contributed in a decisive mode, with numerous study initiatives and publications, to the achievement of a scientifically-based contemporary historiography in Italy. The Institute -- which bases its activities on the inspiring values of the Resistance expressed in the republican Constitution of 1948 and on the ideals of antifascism, democracy, liberty and cultural pluralism -- is today, under the presidency of Oscar Luigi Scalfaro, former president of the Italian Republic, a federative system of 65 associated Institutes distributed throughout the national territory. In addition to publishing essays and lists of sources for the study of contemporary history and publishing the journal, "Contemporary Italy" (Italia contemporanea), it promotes historic research through the High School of Contemporary History (Scuola Superiore di Storia Contemporanea), with study conventions and with a specialized library and archive. It also ensures communication and critical popularization of research results and carries out training activities and refresher courses, particularly for teachers. ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join italian-studies YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave italian-studies to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/italian-studies.html
