Mood of His High
Excellence's speech – given, on
October 11
th
, in occasion of his
first official visit at the Italian
Cultural Institute in L.A. - was
an almost palpable optimism,
that resurfaced numerous times
throughout the Ambassador's
inspiring delivery.
First sojourn in L.A., only in
official terms, as, at the begin-
ning of July, the Ambassador
assisted, from Pasadena's Jet
Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to
the entry of the NASA's probe,
named "Juno," into Jupiter's
orbit, which he humorously
called "romantic reunion."
Varricchio gave us a taste of
his hectic two-days agenda dur-
ing his first official visit to Los
Angeles. He briefly referred to
his meeting with the Mayor Eric
Garcetti, as well as the dinner at
the Getty Museum, and his visit
at UCLA's Department of Italian
Studies, where he also met with
the university's Chancellor, Gene
Arcetri and Other
