Dr. Fiore Featured in La Voce Magazine Article about Leonardo Sciascia

Dr. Fiore was featured in an article titled “Come un film di Clint Eastwood: il lungo racconto americano di Leonardo Sciascia” in the daily digital newspaper La Voce di New York about the celebration of writer Leonardo Sciascia’s birth centenary held at multiple locations in New York. On Sept. 21, 2022 at CIMA (Center for Italian Modern Art) in Soho, Fiore joined a panel about the role of “America” in Sciascia as well as the U.S. interest in Sciascia: the presenters included Valerio Cappozzo (Professor at the University of Mississippi and Presidente of the Associazione Amici di Sciascia), David Leopold (David Levine Archives), and Francesco Izzo (Executive Director of the National Committee for the Celebrations of Sciascia).

The celebrations for the centenary of Sciascia’s birth featured book presentations at the Rizzoli bookstore, and a two-day symposium at the Italian Cultural Institute, embracing scholars, artists, translators, teachers, students, and journalists. On the occasion, Valerio Capozzo presented an elegant limited edition case containing the reproduction of the first publication penned by Sciascia in English (a 1952 encyclopedia entry about Italian literature) and of the incisive caricature signed by David Levine in 1979.
