The readings, in addition to selected passages of the arthurs cited above, include works of Ugo Foscolo, Alessandro Manzoni, Silvio Pellico, Carlo Collodi, Giovanni Verga and Tomasi di Lampedusa. Significant time will also be dedicated to the figurative arts (Hayez, the painting of history, and the Macchiaioli), the theatre of the great actor (Adelaide Ristori and Tommaso Salvini), and to mucie, with particular attention paid to the operas of Giuseppe Verdi.
