World Poetry Books has uploaded the full award ceremony to their YouTube page. You can hear lively discussion – in Italian and English – of Romanesco poetry in translation, the poetry of Mario dell’Arco in particular, and hear Dell’Arco’s poems read by his son, the distinguished historian of art and architecture Prof. Marcello Fagiolo (as well as my renderings in American English). The guests include a cornucopia of colleagues, family and friends from across the globe, making this a unique and memorable occasion. Ad maiora!
