On Leonardo da Vinci
|
SPEAKER
Franco Gallippi Franco Gallippi focuses on the interaction between art and science in the works of Leonardo Da Vinci. In Leonardo’s work art and science go hand in hand, but what necessity lies between this interaction, and what can this Renaissance genius teach us today in our search for the best of sustainable worlds? Gallippi completed his PhD thesis, Calvino: Reader of Leopardi and Galileo, at the University of Toronto. He was Assistant Professor at McMaster University in Hamilton, where he taught Italian language, literature, and cinema for several years. He is presently teaching at the Italian Cultural Institute in Toronto, and is a public lecturer at Hot Docs and continuing education associations based in Toronto. His publications have appeared as chapters in books, and in academic journals in Italy, Canada, and the United States. His forthcoming book examines the works of Italian writer Italo Calvino. |
