As Dr. Fiore invited all the listeners to attend the Inserra event on Sept. 26, “Venice as a Metaphor of the World: Otherness, Immigration, and Religion in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice and in Today’s World” and talked about the play’s various links to both Italian culture (Commedia dell’arte, the Venice Ghetto, language/dialect) and the contemporary debate about the exclusion and inclusion of “others” based on religious, ethnic and gender differences, she took the opportunity to thank the main Inserra donor, Mr. Lawrence R. Inserra Jr., and explain all that has been accomplished on campus so far thanks to his generous donations.
