Sept. 18 – For his 90th birthday, which he celebrated on May 13, Prague pays tribute to Giovanni Sartori, internationally recognized as one of the greatest political scientists of our time, and founding father of post-war European political science. On September 26, the University of Prague, with the patronage of the Italian Ambassador to the Czech Republic, Pasquale D’Avino, organizes the conference “Giovanni Sartori: 90 Years of a Political Scientist” at the Italian Baroque Chapel of the Italian Institute of Culture in Prague.
