We are so grateful to Professor Eva Del Soldato for braving the snow yesterday and for gracing us with her delightful company. Her highly engaging lecture on a forgotten booklet by the Franciscan Matthias Ferchius provoked many new curiosities. The perfect way to round off an excellent semester!

This semester we are highlighting the diversity of Italian culture with our Hometown Spotlight Series. Today we take a closer look at the beautiful city of Venice, home to Carolina Minguzzi, who is currently an M.A. Student in Italian Studies at Notre Dame. www.instagram.com/p/DDHwgyyRr2...
