Report by the Editor of Italica (Albert N. Mancini)

Four issues of Italica (Winter 2002, Spring 2003, Summer 2003, Autumn 2003) have been mailed out to AATI members since last November. The total number of printed pages is 616. The contents of the issues comprise twenty-four articles, five review articles, fifty-nine reviews, two installments of the bibliography, one in memoriam In Memoriam

Tennyson’s tribute to his friend, A. H. Hallam. [Br. Lit.: Harvey, 808]

See : Grief
, and the AATI 2002 Business Meeting minutes. The articles were submitted by ten professors, two associate professors, five assistant professors, seven lecturers, three doctoral candidates, and two independent scholars. Six of them were authored by foreign AATI members.

In editing ten volumes of Italica, I incurred numerous debts. First, I would like to express my gratitude to my associates Paolo Giordano, Louis Kibler, Michael Lettieri, and Anthony Julian Tamburri for their constant support, expert advice, and effective help along the way. Their exemplary commitment to the enterprise merits special acknowledgment. The materials published in the journal were edited through the cooperative efforts of the members of the editorial board and other specialized readers. It is a great pleasure to thank these scholars who gave generously of their time and considerable knowledge. Also, I am grateful to Deborah Starewich and Gina Patacca for their continued assistance. Thanks to them and the many friends at A-R Editions, I was able to survive the taxing and often tedious production processes. Special recognition must go to the College of Humanities and the Department of French and Italian of The Ohio State University for having provided over the years generous support in the form of clerical help, mailing, copying, and office space.

Finally, it has been said that the quality of a periodical depends by necessity on its contributors. I wish to the express my appreciation to all the authors of articles and reviewers whose contributions enabled us to maintain the high scholarly and intellectual standards that readers all over the world have come to associate with Italica now in its eightieth year of continued publication. It gives me pleasure to announce that, in addition to the regular contributions on language and pedagogy, the Winter 2003 issue, will contain also a cumulative index of the contents of the last ten volumes.

Personally, I am honored to have had the privilege to work with so many talented and worthy fellow Italianists. I am sure that my successor, Prof. Andrea Ciccarelli, will take the position and reach new heights with it. I am also convinced that the journal's rich heritage will no doubt inspire future editors and editorial board members to continue to serve the AATI in the promotion of Italian studies in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. . I would hope that our younger colleagues consider making it the center of their professional activities. Organizations such as the AATI protect our interests and provide invaluable support to us as teachers and scholars.
