International Conference: North Atlantic Catholic Communities in Rome, 1622–1939
5–7 June 2017 | Notre Dame's Rome Global Gateway (via Ostilia 15, 00184 Rome, Italy)
Rome Global Gateway
This international conference will help identify the transnational network comprised of so many individuals who, despite the fact that they came from different countries in the North Atlantic region, had their destination, or their intellectual point of reference, in the Eternal City and looked to Rome as their spiritual metropole. Presentations in English, Italian, and French will deal with communities in Rome originating from present-day England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, English- and French-speaking Canada, and the United States. International perspectives will highlight the global dimension of Rome as a unique cultural and religious crossroad.
