G7 members – the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada and the European Union – contain many of the world’s critical capabilities and are committed to democratic values. At its annual summit and through a web of G7-centred institutions at the ministerial, official and multi-stakeholder levels, the G7 does much to meet global challenges, especially in the fields of security, development and economics. The G7 Research Group and the G8 Research Group are global networks of scholars, students and professionals in the academic, research, media, business, non-governmental, governmental and intergovernmental communities who follow the work of the G7, the G8 and related institutions. The groups share a mission to serve as the world’s leading independent sources of information, analysis and research on the G7/8. Founded in 1987, they are managed from Trinity College and the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto. Professional Advisory Council members, Special Advisors and participating researchers span the world. Through the G7 and G8 Research Groups, Trinity’s John W. Graham Library has become the global repository of G7/8 documents, transcripts, audiotapes, media coverage, interviews, studies, essays, memorabilia and artifacts. The G8 Information Centre at www.g8.utoronto.ca The online G8 Information Centre (www.g8.utoronto.ca) contains the world’s most comprehensive and authoritative collection of information and analysis on the G7 and G8. The G7 and G8 Research Groups assemble, verify and post documents from the meetings leading up to and at each summit, the available official documentation of all past summits and ministerial meetings (in several G8 languages), scholarly writings and policy analyses, research studies, scholarship information, links to related sites and the “briefing books” for each summit published by Newsdesk Media. The website contains the annual reports on G7/8 members’ compliance with their summit commitments, produced by the G8 Research Group and its partner at the International Organisations Research Institute at the National Research University Higher School of Economics in Moscow.

Please confirm your attendance to [email protected]. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE On a lovely fall Sunday afternoon drenched in the colors of the season one could perhaps be excused for missing an ICS Social Meeting, but over 50 of us did not miss something special in Richard Spear’s masterly presentation of connoisseurship in discussing Caravaggio’s luminous art. A brief report is included in this issue. It will be a little cooler and the fall colors past their prime, so be sure to come to the Nov. meeting, this time at our usual Friendship Heights VC venue starting with a film at 1:00 pm, a conversation hour at 2:00, and a presentation at 3:00 by the director (from NY) of Slow Food USA, Mr. Richard McCarthy. We are collaborating with the US-Italy Global Affairs Forum and the Italian Cultural Institute of the Embassy of Italy in this effort. The talk will involve a topic related to the Slow Food and/or Terra Madre projects. Light refreshments and soft drinks will be served after the presentation (sorry, FHVC now has a no red wine policy! Sigh.) We look forward to seeing you there.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks at a State Dinner Honoring Prime Minister Matteo Renzi of Italy October 18, 2016
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks at a State Dinner Honoring Prime Minister Matteo Renzi of Italy October 18, 2016 President Obama. Good evening, everybody! Audience members. Good evening! President Obama. Buona sera! Audience members. Buona sera! President Obama. On behalf of my—Michelle and myself, welcome to the White House. And welcome to the final state dinner of my Presidency. But in the immortal words of a great Italian American, Yogi Berra, "It ain't over till it's over." And so we have a wonderful evening ahead of us as we celebrate the great alliance between the United States and Italy with our great friends, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and Mrs. Agnese Landini. Now, I have to say, this is a remarkable crowd. I will confess that, at first, I was a little nervous about this dinner. After all, Matteo is called Il Rottamatore—The Scrapper, The Demolition Man. [Laughter] And Roberto Benigni is here as well, and he has promised not to jump on the tables. [Laughter] Ask any Italian or Italian American, and they'll tell you that the dinners can get somewhat animated. People can get excited, especially if your grandmother thinks you're not eating enough. And so Michelle and I decided to just think of this as a typical Italian Sunday dinner: surrounded by family and great friends—paisans—and pasta. But tonight we're reminded that American democracy has been graced by the touch of Italy. Our declaration that "all men are created equal" was penned by Thomas Jefferson, and it was a concept shared by his friend, also from Florence, Firenze, Filippo Mazzei.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks at a Welcoming
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks at a Welcoming Ceremony for Prime Minister Matteo Renzi of Italy October 18, 2016 President Obama. Good morning! Audience members. Good morning! President Obama. Buon giorno! Audience members. Buon giorno! President Obama. Today is bittersweet for Michelle and I because this marks the final official visit and state dinner of my Presidency. But—— Audience members. Aww! President Obama. It's okay. [Laughter] We've saved the best for last. And so on behalf of Michelle and myself, and on behalf of the American people, it is my great honor to welcome, from Italy, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and Mrs. Agnese Landini. As Americans and Italians, we're here because of each other. America's Founding Fathers—Washington, Jefferson, Adams—drew inspiration from Cincinnatus, Cicero, Cato. Prime Minister Renzi, you've spoken with great emotion about the American soldiers of World War II who liberated Italy so that families like yours could live in freedom. Today we again pay tribute to all those who risked their lives—and often gave their lives—including the heroes of the Italian Resistance, so that we can stand here today as two free peoples. And on a personal level, today is a chance for Michelle and me to reciprocate the incredible warmth and hospitality that the Italian people have shown us on each of our visits to Italy. When, years ago, Michelle and I traveled through Tuscany, back when we didn't have kids so we could have a really good time. [Laughter] You remember that? [Laughter] Then, when, in my first term, we brought our daughters to Rome to experience the timeless beauty of the Eternal City.
