Celebrating 35 Years of the Calandra Institute
Lazio is a region of central Italy bordered by the Tyrrhenian Sea, traversed by the waters of the Tiber River, and characterized by mountains and verdant hills that slope down to the coast. It is the cradle of occidental civilization and Christian culture, a historic place of lakes and legends, of thermal spas and ancient roads. Its capital is Rome, Italy's largest and most beloved city.
The John D. Calandra Italian American Institute is the most renowned academic institution outside of Italy that is devoted to study of the Italian diaspora. Founded in 1979, the Calandra Institute engages in extensive academic research, counseling services, and demographic studies; oversees student internships and study abroad curricula; and produces public programming from seminars to television and online media.
These key points of the Institute's mission serve as the foundation for all its endeavors. In recent years the Institute has produced significant new scholarship in these areas of Italian American studies and established initiatives in the United States, Calabria, and Umbria, as well as fostering ongoing partnerships with faculty and researchers from other universities in Italy.
As a result, the Institute is situated at the forefront of Italian diaspora studies.
The Calandra Institute invites you to celebrate these achievements and the exciting possibilities of the future.
