Paolo Milano and Renato Poggioli–Exile and Creativity Series

An evening dedicated to Paolo Milano and Renato Poggioli, two Italian intellectuals instrumental in the development of a cultural dialogue between Italy and the United States, particularly in the fields of literature and comparative literature.

Paolo Milano came to the United States in 1938 due to the racial laws and remained until 1957;  Renato Poggioli, a fervent antifascist, left Italy as well, in 1938, never to return, but maintaining strong bonds with his country of origins, so much so that he founded an Italian magazine called Inventatio (Inventory).

Professors Franco Baldasso and Mattia Acetoso will speak, respectively, about Milano and Poggioli. With the presence of Sylvia Poggioli, the daughter of Renato, a correspondent from Italy for NPR.
