The exhibition, organized by the Istituto Italiano di Cultura / Italian Cultural Institute in New York and curated by Francesco Guzzetti, Post-doctoral research fellow in Modern and Contemporary Art at the eminent Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Treaties of Rome.

On March 25, 1957 the representatives of the governments of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and Netherlands signed in Rome the treaties that founded the European Economic Community (EEC), which would develop into the European Union (EU).

The Leonardo da Vinci Society, in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute of San Francisco, will hold the second of a cycle of conferences celebrating Italian scientists who have made unique and stellar contributions to the world at large and have left their imprint in the San Francisco Bay Area.

"Over twenty years ago, William Papaleo moved to Naples to practice the art he had learned in the U.S. A third-generation U.S. American with ancestors from Italy, Papaleo is different from most Italian American artists who use Italy to set up a sense of the past and reconnect to it through travel. Their art, more oſten than not focuses on the family and their own reactions to retiring to the home of their ancestors. What you find in Papaleo’s art is something new, something all other Italian Americans have not dealt with, and that is the role of the immigrant in today’s Italy.
