Insights

Set in the magnificent Musco Center for the Arts, the Italian Perspective series has become a university and regional tradition as a celebratory exploration of Italian culture’s complexity and its import across different sectors and disciplinary areas. This event responds to a real need in the community to come together and connect around the shared interest of Italy and to learn through experiences that blend aesthetic appreciation and intellectual rigor. Over the years, the Italian Perspective has offered a unique interdisciplinary angle to unveil Italy’s potential in the arts, sciences, and business in partnership with Chapman’s School of Performing Arts, the Schmid College of Science and Technology, the Argyros School of Business as well as external Italian governmental bodies such as the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Los Angeles, Italy-America Chamber of Commerce West and the Consulate General of Italy in L.A. The series has been an instrumental laboratory for the definition of Italian Studies at Chapman University and the inception of the Ferrucci Institute.

About the Ferrucci Institute for Italian Experience and Research
Founded in 2023, Chapman University’s Ferrucci Institute for Italian Experience and Research strives to inspire and advance a wide disciplinary spectrum of teaching and research initiatives exploring Italy’s more universal educational and intellectual potentials, both in its peninsular and diasporic contexts. To accomplish this goal, the Ferrucci Institute provides mentorship and funds for scholarly and creative activities that unveil the cross-cultural and interdisciplinary relevance of Italy’s story and fabric. Furthermore, the Ferrucci Institute coordinates curricular innovation and experiential learning opportunities and leads cultural programming for the academic and broader community. Ferrucci Institute’s academic production is shared regularly throughout the year through the Windows to Italy and the Italian Perspective series. The work of the Ferrucci Institute is to embody and disseminate a new humanistic and interdisciplinary paradigm for Italian Studies, a field instrumental in illuminating the country’s identity in the global space. Partaking in this process are students, educators, leaders in the arts, business, and sciences, and members of the community who bridge generational and cultural divides.
