The Italian American Lecture Series presents for fall 2020, Reflections on a Past Darkness and Present Hope in Italy. The second lecture in the series will be Italy’s Third Golden Age. Italy is the only country to give the world not just one, but three Golden Ages. A fascinating exploration of how Italy rose from the ashes and devastation of WWII to usher in its unprecedented third Golden Age. You will discover how Italy morphed from the face of Il Duce to the face of La Dolce Vita and how “Brand Italy” came to conquer the world through passion and excellence in the realms of film, fashion and design, gastronomy, and viticulture.
Speaker: Carla Gambescia, Lecturer and Author, La Dolce Vita University:An Unconventional Guide to Italian Culture From A-Z
