SICILIAN BAROQUE IN MIXED MEDIA

* A visual lecture by Dr. Thomas Puleo, Assistant Professor in
the School of Political Science and Global Studies at Arizona State University,Tempe.
Dr. Puleoʹs research interest in Catania is the devastating earthquake of
1693 and the birth of Sicilian Baroque architecture arising in the aftermath.

period instruments; this performance is given in celebration of the life of Marriann
Gofonia, a long‐time member of the Catania Sister Cities Committee.
