italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies

Dear Dino,

I am getting a bit more organized now (I am back from Rome and found
a huge amount of email and other things to deal with, as usual).  If
you care to call me to discuss the issue of a possible writer or
filmmaker as guest lecturer at the AAIS next year, tomorrow would
actually be better than tonight (Tuesday March 23) since I am having
guests to dinner tonight, I can be reached at home a 773 241-5617.
Also, I would be glad to reivew Keala Jewell's book for Annali if no
one else has claimed it.
Best,
Rebecca
ps Hope the Petrarch conference went well!
