    Description

    ASMI and ICI London present a round-table discussion on

    Gaetano Salvemini at 150: an intellectual and political legacy

    and the ASMI annual lecture on

    Don Lorenzo Milani at 100: a portrait of a pioneering educationalist and radical

    2023 marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Gaetano Salvemini, and the 100th anniversary of the birth of Don Lorenzo Milani. In order to understand, as well as to celebrate, these great Italians ASMI has organised two overlapping events at ICI London:

    4.30-5.30pm. Round-table discussion on Gaetano Salvemini at 150: an intellectual and political legacy and presentation of special edition of Modern Italy (Volume 28, issue 4 – November 2023) dedicated to Salvemini. Chaired by Philip Cooke, the panel will include Renato Camurri (University of Verona) and Alice Gussoni (University of Oxford), two of the foremost experts on the life and works of Gaetano Salvemini, and Gianluca Fantoni, co-editor of Modern Italy.

    6-7pm. ASMI annual lecture by Vanessa Roghi: ‘Don Lorenzo Milani at 100: a portrait of a pioneering educationalist and radical’.

    In the aftermath of World War 2, Father Lorenzo Milani dedicated his life to educating both the young working class and the children of farmers. Restricted by Pius XII's Church to a small parish in Tuscany, he wrote - together with his pupils - two books that received international resonance: L'obbedienza non è più una virtù (Obedience is No Longer a Virtue) and Lettera a una professoressa (Letter to a Teacher). Translated into many languages, these works allowed the voice of this country priest to become a point of reference for radical pedagogy all around the world, placing him alongside the likes Ivan Illich and Paulo Freire.
