The Frederick May Foundation for Italian Studies and the Italian Institute of Culture in Sydney had planned to celebrate Leopardi's bicentenary by a Symposium on the non-literary aspects of Leopardi's culture to be held at Sydney University on 10 July.
Unfortunately the expressions of interest following from our Net notice and mailings were too few to justify the expense of organising the Symposium and inviting overseas speakers.
We regret to inform you that the Giornata Leopardiana has been cancelled in its original form, and will be converted to a local evening of talks and poetry-readings for the general public.
