Victor Carrabino
Course Leader Bio
I am Professor Emeritus of the Florida State University where, for over thirty-five years, I held teaching and administrative positions. I earned my PhD in French from the University of Massachusetts Five-College-PhD Program. Throughout my academic career I have taught French Language and Literature, Film Studies, Humanities, and Italian Studies.
This is a version of a course on Italian Culture and Civilization that I originally created for American students who studied in Florence when, for twenty years, I was the Resident Director of the FSU Study Abroad Program in Florence, Italy, my native country. Besides Florida State University, both in Florence and in Tallahassee, I also taught this course for the New York University (Florence), Pepperdine University (Florence), and Wheaton College (Norton MA).
My enthusiasm for teaching this course was also enriched and intensified by my presence in Italy where I was able to follow the country’s political scene first- hand. I taught this course at LLAIC, Fall 2021.
