Calandra’s Annual Conference: The Bitter Bread of War

Calandra’s annual conference, this year titled The Bitter Bread of War: Multidisciplicary Perspectives from Italy and the Diaspora, will take place in person at the Institute Friday and Saturday, April 25 and 26, 2025.

This interdisciplinary conference explores a wide range of topics concerning war from an Italian—broadly understood—perspective. As in the past, the Institute’s conference proposes an inclusive approach to Italy and Italian mobilities, including inhabitants of the nation-state, members of the diaspora, current immigrants in Italy and their descendants, and former colonial subjects.
