Voglio cominciare con un altissimo elogio del 1920 da una lettera scritta da Nicolas Murray Butler, Presidente della Casa Italiana, al giudice John J. Freschi, “a New York City notable”: “As I have said on many public occasions, we have great need here in America of more of the Latin temperament, the Latin point of view, and the Latin Love of beauty, whether in nature or in art. The Casa Italiana and the Istituto can accomplish wonders in advancing all of these purposes” (Michael Rosenthal, Nicolas the Miraculous).
Alla fine è l’ideale che persegue il nostro Giornale dopo 97 anni, proprio quasi un catenaccio, in quel magistrale connubio con la libertà e il primo emendamento: Liberty Meets Beauty. La citazione è ripresa dal prezioso ed encomiabile saggio di Barbara Faedda, associate director of the Italian Academy for Advanced Studies at Columbia University, From Da Ponte to the Casa Italiana. A Brief History of Italian Studies at Columbia University (Columbia University Press, New York, 2017).
