A FILM SCREENING EVENT: The Gift of the Italians: A Traveler’s Guide to Western Civilization from Cicero to Sophia Loren
In politics, philosophy, science, literature, art, music, religion—and food—the Italians reached heights of human achievement that helped to create the most dynamic and consequential civilization in history.
