The Goggio Chair supports other initiatives as well. Two of Professor Goggio’s special interests were the Renaissance and Italian Canadian studies and these are the focus of many of the activities sponsored by the Goggio Chair.
The Goggio Chair supports our undergraduate program in Italian Canadian studies and sponsors the publication of our Departmental newsletter. Through the Goggio Chair, the University of Toronto Press has launched a Goggio Publication Series. The following volumes have been published:
Umberto Eco, Experiences in Translation, 2000
Giuseppe Mazzotta, The Renaissance Experiment, 2001
Giulio Lepschy, Mother Tongues & Other Reflections on the Italian Language, 2002
Millicent Marcus, Italian Film in the Shadows of Auschwitz, 2007
Part of the endowment by the Goggio family has also been directed towards The Emilio Goggio Italian Studies Collection. This fund is used to build on the approximately 40,000 titles found in the Italian collection in the Robarts Library of the University of Toronto. The John P. Robarts Library is Canada’s leading research university library and the Italian collection it houses is among the largest and most comprehensive in North America, ranking just after those of Harvard and Yale. One of its outstanding features is the holdings on the Renaissance. The Goggio fund serves to enhance this and other important areas of strength of the collection.
