Dear Esteemed Attendee,
Welcome to Sant’Anna Institute for the annual conference of the American Association for
Italian Studies (AAIS). 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

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”. It
will examine the ways that 1968 has been remembered, forgotten and narrated, and the
connections between institutional change, “concrete utopias”, violence and extremism and
national reform in the 1970s. Particular focus will be dedicated to changes in the psychiatric
hospital system, prisons, schools and the family.
