Join the Medieval Institute as we host a special celebration of the 65th year of collaboration with the Ambrosiana Library of Milan, Italy.
Our first event is an evening lecture with Reverend Monsignor Doctor Federico Gallo, who will offer the first lecture, on The Biblioteca Ambrosiana and the University of Notre Dame, 65 Years of Collaboration, Part 1: "In the Beginning and Now.”
