NEWS FROM LA PIETRA DIALOGUES
The Italians - Author John Hooper at NYU Florence on September 28

How did a nation that spawned the Renaissance also produce the Mafia? What exactly is bella figura? And why do Romans eat their gnocchi on Thursdays? In his talk, the author will discuss the challenges and rewards of trying to explain a society where paradox is the norm and much is hidden, or coded or left unsaid.

Introduced by Davide Lombardo, NYU Florence
