The author of A HISTORY OF ODESSA, THE LAST ITALIAN BLACK SEA COLONY (2004) and of THE ITALIAN CULTURAL COMPASS OF ODESSA (forthcoming) will speak about the permanent cultural contributions of Italian 18th century immigrants in the spheres of visual arts, music, opera and the urban cultural zeitgeist of this unusual port, founded in 1794 by the Italian settlers at the invitation of Catherine the Great and as part of her Europeanization project. The lecture will inform about a unique phenomenon in history when a host society willingly absorbed the culture of her invited immigrants.
