Hi, Elllie. I fell in love with Italy after teaching a summerschool course in Rome recently on the philosophy of film. A slow reading of any of the works you propose would be a great joy for me. I'm sorry I missed the slow reading of the Leopard, but I did read it on my own in November, 2023, albeit quickly, and posted a superficial reflection about it here: https://robertboydskipper.substack.com/p/the-leopardgiuseppe-tomasi-di-lampedusa

Since I have taught medieval philosophy and Greek philosophy I may be able to contribute something when we get to The Name of the Rose.

Wow. Arturo’s Island by Elsa Morante — I saw someone mention it last year somewhere and then I bought it impulsively, but I’d totally forgotten about this book till now. Now excited to read it with you all.
