I am confident you will find your time here both inspiring and rejuvenating. On behalf of the Sant’Anna Institute, I thank you for making the journey to this special corner of the world. In 1998, when I founded Sant’Anna my mission was clear—to create a home for dialogue and innovation in the field of global education. I also recognized an exciting opportunity to share and celebrate the unique splendor of southern Italy. Hosting the 2018 conference represents the culmination of 20 years of hard work and the actualization of a professional aspiration. Together on the historical grounds of Sant’Anna, we will create a community fostering cultural exchange and meaningful engagement. It is my honor and pleasure to share the intellectual and aesthetic richness of this land. I thank you for attending, and for bringing your expertise to the proverbial table. Very Truly Yours, Cristiana Panicco Founder and President Sant’Anna Institute Sorrento, Italy 4 AAIS SPECIAL EVENTS THURSDAY JUNE 14 CONCERT, “THE ITALIAN MANDOLIN IN AMERICA” August Watters, Professor Emeritus, Berklee College of Music 6:15p.m.-7:00p.m., AULA 15, piano terra WELCOME RECEPTION 7:00p.m.-8:30p.m., Sant’Anna Institute Courtyard FRIDAY JUNE 15 PLENARY SPEAKER John Foot, Professor of Modern Italian History, University of Bristol, “Revolution, Reform and Nostalgia. Reflections on Italy’s 1968 Fifty Years On” This lecture will discuss the legacy and historical understanding of Italy’s “long 1968”.
