Viva L’Italia!

The ABR Forums move to Sydney early next month, when Peter Porter and Peter Robb will be in conversation with Ros Pesman of the University of Sydney about all things Italian – literature, music, visual arts, politics and travel. Peter Porter has written about Italy for decades; Peter Robb is the author of Midnight in Sicily and M: The Man Who Became Caravaggio. No one interested in Italy, or good talk, will want to miss this Italian colloquy. It will take place at 6 p.m. on Thursday, November 6. The venue is the Galleries at the State Library of New South Wales, and the cost $16.50 (or $11 for ABR subscribers and Friends of the State Library). Full details appear on page 33.
