Led by Anna Maria Gentili, professor of History and Institutions of Afro-Asiatic Countries at the University of Bologna; member of the Scientific Council of the Italian Institute for Africa and the Orient; and President of the Amilcar Cabral Center of the Municipality of Bologna. Her primary research topics include: political history of Sub-Saharan Africa, African political systems, political development, conflicts and conflict resolution, reforms, and political progress in developing countries.
Enrica Pischel (1930-2003), through her scientific work, developed a new method for approaching and studying the Asian world, proposing a multidisciplinary approach capable of connecting artistic, cultural, political, and economic phenomena of the individual realities of that continent. This made them more accessible to us and aided in their understanding. Through her publications and lectures, she introduced the Asian reality to a broader audience, overcoming prejudices and preconceived notions. Her working tools, namely manuscripts and books, were donated by her to the City of Rovereto so that the dialogue between East and West to which she dedicated herself may continue.
