3:00 pm
Please welcome our friends from the Abruzzo Molise Heritage Society (AMHS) who will join us this month for our social meeting. They will conduct a brief business meeting at 3 pm. This will be followed by a Presentation by Professor Roberto Severino, with special reminiscences by Dr. Gianni Impeduglia  I Bronzi di Riace In 1972 two exquisite bronze
statues, perhaps the most beautiful in the world, were discovered in
the Ionian Sea 300 m offshore and 30 m below the surface near the
coastal village of Riace in Calabria. They are major
additions to the surviving examples of ancient Greek sculpture dating
from the 5th century BC and are housed in the Museo Nazionale della
Magna Grecia in Reggio Calabria. Professor Severino has
visited them on more than one occasion and will discuss them in
historical context and tell of his experiences. Special guest Dr.
Gianni Impeduglia, originally from Riace and present at the time of the
discovery, will provide an interesting little known detail to the story.
ICS EVENTS Social Meetings start at 3:00 PM on the third Sunday of the month, September through May at the Friendship Heights Village Center, 4433 South Park Ave, Chevy Chase, MD (See map on this page or on last page of Poche Parole) |
