Philip V. Cannistraro was the first distinguished professor of Italian American studies associated with the Calandra Institute. Known principally as a scholar of Italian Fascism and anti-fascism, he also studied and published about the relations between Italian Americans and Fascist Italy. He was the co-author with John J. Reich of The Western Perspective: A History of Civilization in the West, a popular American college history textbook. Cannistraro died at age sixty-three in 2005. We renamed the Lecture Series in his honor, focusing, as it does, on recently published works of scholarship related to Italian American and other diaspora topics.
