Making this decision was not easy. We regret missing the opportunity for intellectual exchanges at the conference. I am deeply grateful to our partners l’Istituto per i Beni Sonori ed Audiovisivi ICBSA and the Biblioteca di Storia Moderna e Contemporanea BSMC for their patience, generosity and understanding. We had great plans for this conference, and we are sure that we will be able to held the conference again next year.
