The “Arab spring”, one year later

Egypt upraisingsFLORENCE, ITALY – Next Thursday February 9th, NYU’s La Pietra Dialogues presents Imma Vitelli (at 6 pm, Villa La Pietra), International correspondent for Vanity Fair, who has been reporting from the ground in the Middle East.

She will be talking about recent developments in North Africa and Middle-East and her new book “Tahrir. I giovani che hanno fatto la rivoluzione”. Imma Vitelli has covered conflicts in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Iraq, Israel, the Palestinian territories and, most recently, the upraisings in Libya, Tunisia and  Egypt.

NYU’s La Pietra Dialogues aims to make a creative contribution to contemporary public policy debate by convening conversations around some of the most vexing and urgent policy questions in the United States and Europe. The Dialogues challenge disciplinary boundaries and conventional thinking by bringing together a wide array of actors not commonly called upon to reflect on policy questions, or to sit at the same table together, including academics, politicians, business leaders, and other public intellectuals, with the ultimate goal of building a rich and diverse network across the Atlantic.
