Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the entire Executive Committee of the AATI, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to our second international, postpandemic, in-person conference co-sponsored with the Università degli studi di Catania and its Dipartimento di Scienze Umanestiche, hosted at the Monastero dei Benedettini di San Nicolò. We are very happy and proud to be celebrating the 100 th anniversary of the AATI here in Sicily at one of Italy's 58 UNESCO Heritage Sites. Although we have already organized two inperson conferences, it feels as if it's still all new, especially since colleagues are only now feeling comfortable traveling and faculty are starting to receive research/travel funds once again. The AATI's mission to "Preserve, Advance, and Promote Italian Language and Culture" is manifested in our multitude of events hosted throughout the year. Our conferences serve as cornerstones of these exchanges: moments to mentor graduate students and junior faculty; discuss, challenge, and redesign curricula; share pedagogical tips and tools; examine assessment methods, both formally (ACTFL's OPI, College Board's AP, AATI's National Italian Examination) and informally, and pursue research. I am confident that this upcoming conference will prove most fruitful for all who attend. Unlike other Italian associations, the AATI encourages all teachers of Italian to come to the table and share. We wholeheartedly believe that strong pedagogy begins in elementary school and continues to the college and university level. Only together and united can we continue to deliver excellence in the Italian classroom and increase, rather than decrease, the number of programs in North America. As previously mentioned, we are excited to be at the Università degli studi di Catania and to have the ability to utilize the UNESCO site of the Benedictine Monastery to engage in our intellectual discussions over the next few days. In 2017, the AATI was a guest at the Università degli di studi di Palermo and we are happy to be hosted on the eastern side of the island this year. As we are aware, Sicily is not only a unique region of Italy, but also the key to the entire Mediterranean and has foundational roots from Ancient Greece and Rome to the present day. As Johann Wolfgang Goethe reminds us, "To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is to not have seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the clue to everything." This year our conference highlights a variety of academic fields, from linguistics and world language acquisition to literary and cultural studies, to visual and film studies, to classical studies and archeology. The beauty of Sicily is also the interdisciplinary nature in its place, space, and time. The University of Catania has been working extremely hard to organize this amazing event, and the AATI cannot wait to join them. Much appreciation goes out to the entire administration of the institute, particularly to Andrea Manganaro and his department for taking part in the event. They have gone above and beyond our wildest expectations. Special thanks to Fondazione Verga for their support in both organizing and attending the event. I am confident that our time in Catania will be extraordinary, from a rich conference to a dazzling array of evening events. They have been active since the initial brainstorming and even met with Marina and me in December. It has been a pleasure working with them, and their professionalism is amazing. I am also very happy that we are collaborating with the Fondazione Verga and concluding the entire conference with our friends from the Associazione degli Italianisti (ADI). I'm confident that our discourses will be vibrate and productive. Before concluding, I would like to take a moment and thank the AATI Conference Committee. M. Marina Melita, VP of Colleges and Universities, chairs the committee. Her leadership has been central to the success of this conference. Her team has been helping to organize the event for months. Much appreciation to Annalisa Mosca (Vice Chair),

Nel giugno 2003, nell’ambito delle Ferie delle Messi, venne organizzata la rievocazione della pittura più antica realizzata a San Gimignano (1274), quella dell’uccisione di Schiavo Paltone da parte del fratello Nasca tramite un suo servo. Il pittore sangimignanese Andreuccetti Alessandro dipinse un acquerello che fu esposto ai piedi della facciata della Pieve, e il prof. Gherardo Ortalli tenne una importante conferenza sul fatto in questione tralasciando però fatti analoghi che nei secoli hanno prodotto a San Gimignano altre pitture del genere. Ho pensato, in questa occasione, di fare l’inverso, rimandando al prof. Ortalli per i caratteri generali del fenomeno e puntualizzare gli episodi conosciuti relativi a San Gimignano.
