In October, Chapman University celebrated the opening of a dedicated space for the Ferrucci Institute for Italian Experience and Research. Located at 434 N. Glassell, directly across from the Musco Center for the Arts, the house will serve as a welcoming hub for mentorship, research, and collaboration.
The new space features a specialized research library and a film library available to students and faculty conducting research on Italy. It also includes a fully equipped conference and screening room designed to support collaborative projects, academic discussions, and mentoring opportunities, as well as offices for Italian Studies faculty.
