(25 March 2016) Stefano Pilotto is an expert in History of International Relations: after studying at the University of Trieste, at La Sapienza in Rome, Harvard and SciencesPo Paris, Pilotto now teaches International Relations at the MIB School of Managment in Trieste, and History of European Integration within the Political Science Department of the Università degli Studi di Trieste. Pilotto stars in the conference “Italia e Russia prima e durante la Grande Guerra (1908-1917)” scheduled at the Italian Cultural Institute of Moscow (hall 1 M. Kozlovskij per., 4, str. 1) on Wednesday 13 April at 7pm. Organized by the Institute, the conference will be in Italian and translated in Russian. Pilotto will analyze the state of current relations between Italy and Russia, a natural entente that has its roots in a distant past, in those particular and complex years at the turn of the century. Can today’s republics find what the monarchies of the past built? This is the question Pilotto, who writes for the newspaper “Il Piccolo” and directs the program “Origini Italia” will try to answer. Pilotto in 2010 receives an honorary degree from the International Economics Institute of Moscow. (red)
