Oct. 31 – From January, Luigi Robuschi will officially be a Lecturer in Italian Studies, and Director of Italian Studies at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. An expert in the history of early modern Venice and already visiting lecturer of Modern History at the Department of Law, Economics and Cultures of the University of Insubria, in Como, Robuschi was appointed by the South African university after an international selection process. This is an important achievement for the teacher, who was born in 1978, as Wits is one of the main universities across the African continent. (Red)
