Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of
 
The Emma Grollo Memorial Scholarship
 
A Commemorative Collection of Italian Studies Research
 at The University of Melbourne
 

THE BOOK:  The year 2008 marks the 20th Anniversary of The Emma Grollo Memorial Scholarship in Italian Studies at The University of Melbourne.  This book celebrates the milestone by recognising the achievements of the recipients of the Scholarship from 1988 to 2008.  It presents a collection of research papers or extracts of these from each of the Scholarship recipients.  It also offers a short autobiography of each Scholarship recipient, providing an opportunity for them to discuss how the Scholarship has enabled them to pursue their interest in Italian Studies, to relate anecdotes from their experience of studying in Italy and to discuss how their receipt of The Emma Grollo Memorial Scholarship has influenced their career.

THE EDITORS:  Dr. Vita Giordano was educated in Italy and completed her PhD at The University of Melbourne, where she currently lectures in Italian Studies in the School of Languages and Linguistics.  She has recently published her doctoral thesis on the Italian author Massimo Bontempelli.

Dr. Andrew McGregor lectures in French Studies in the School of Languages and Linguistics at The University of Melbourne, where he also completed his PhD.  He has published on European cinema and the representation of cultural identity in film.  His research interests include contemporary France and Italy and their relationship with Australia.

THE PUBLISHER:  The Italian Australian Institute (I.A.I.) is a non-profit organisation, supported by the co-operation between the Grollo-Ruzzene Foundation and La Trobe University.  Its charter states that its main aim is to research and study every aspect of the Italian presence in Australia.
