In the Spring and Summer 2022 the Rome Global Gateway hosted and co-sponsored a series of events in collaboration with the Center for Italian Studies at the University of Notre Dame that strengthened an already strong long-lasting relationship between the Center and the Gateway.

Following the successful meetings devoted to Dante in 2020-2021, this second edition in a series of four events from November to April, 2022, proposed the presentation of recently published books dedicated to authors and texts of Medieval Italian Philology and Literature and to the most current themes in these disciplines, promoting a fruitful discussion among scholars of various geographical and academic provenances.
The meetings saw the participation of the authors and editors chosen for the 2022 edition and were also streamed online on Zoom. The series was organized in collaboration with the Center for Italian Studies and the Devers Family Program in Dante Studies at the University of Notre Dame, and with Ca' Foscari University of Venice and the Scuola Normale Superiore Pisa.

Rome Workshops on Dante
The Devers Family Program in Dante Studies and the Center for Italian Studies at the University of Notre Dame organized two workshops which were held between 11-13 May 2022 at the Notre Dame Rome Global Gateway. The first brought to a close the seminars held on the Ante-Purgatory, a series of closed workshops on the first nine cantos of Dante's Purgatorio that started in January 2021 on Zoom. The second one gathered the contributors to “Now feed yourself”: Anglo-American and Italian Scholarship on Dante, which will be published by Legenda in its “Italian Perspectives' series. The primary purpose of the workshops was to create a space where Dantists could meet and discuss their research and ideas in a supportive and collegial atmosphere.
