Honorifics
2014
Inducted as a Cavaliere (knight) into the Associazione Cavalieri di San Marco (Knights of St. Mark), a
re-constituted version of the ancient knightly order of the Republic of Venice, which had been founded in
the fifteenth century and suppressed by Napoleon in 1797. The Knights of St Mark were re-established in
1979 to honour individuals who have distinguished themselves in working for the benefit of Venice or of
humanity in general. I was inducted into the association for my work (both academic and personal) on
behalf of Venetian culture and the expatriate Italian population of Istria, Fiume, and Dalmatia. The
ceremony took place in Venice on 25 April 2014 in the knights’ church of San Francesco della Vigna.
2010
Inducted as a Commendatore (Knight Commander) into the Order of Merit of the Republic of Italy.
Third of five levels in the highest civil order of merit of the Republic of Italy. The honour was conferred by
the President of Italy, who is the Head of the Order, by presidential decree on 31 May 2010. The honour is
comparable to being appointed Officer in the Order of Canada or Commander in the Order of the British
Empire. It bestows on the recipient the title of Commendatore and the right to use the post-nominal letters
O.M.R.I.
2007
Elected “Foreign Member” (Socio straniero) of the Ateneo Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti (Venice),
a learned academy founded by Napoleon Bonaparte in Venice on 12 January 1812. By invitation.

Appointed Permanent Member of the Chancellor’s Council, Victoria University, for services rendered.

Commerce and Industry (Camera di Commercio e Industria), Trieste, Italy, in recognition of professional
accomplishments and community service. By nomination.

Dean’s Excellence Award (for teaching and research in 2013-14)
Outstanding Academic Title for 2013 from Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries, for my
book, The Sword and the Pen. The book was so selected from over 7,082 titles reviewed by Choice in
2013. As Mark Cummins, editor and publisher of Choice, indicated, “These outstanding works have been
selected for their excellence in scholarship and presentation, the significance of their contribution to the
field, and their value as important–often first–treatment of their subject. Comprising almost 9 percent of the
titles reviewed by Choice during the past year, and less than percent of the more than 25,000 submitted to
Choice during this same period, Outstanding Academic Titles are truly ‘the best of the best’.”
Winner of the 40th annual Flaiano International Prize (“Premio Flaiano”) in the category “Italianistica”
(Italian Literary Criticism) for my book The Sword and the Pen. Women, Poetry, and Politics in SixteenthCentury Siena (U of Notre Dame Press, 2012). Awarded in a nationally televised ceremony in Pescara,
Italy, on 14 July 2013. I am the first scholar from a Canadian university ever to win this international prize
and the second Canadian ever to win any Flaiano prize (Alice Munroe won it in 2008 for narrative fiction).
Finalist in the ForeWord 2012 Book of the Year Award for my book The Sword and the Pen. Women,
Poetry, and Politics in Sixteenth-Century Siena (University of Notre Dame Press, 2012).

The prize was instituted in 2008 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture of Italy and
is managed by the Associazione Nazionale Venezia Giulia e Dalmazia (Rome). The prize recognizes those
who have distinguished themselves for their contribution to the history and culture of Italians from Istria,
Fiume, and Dalmatia. I received the prize in Rome on 9 Feb. 2009 for my work for Italians from these areas
who have emigrated in Canada. I was the only recipient from outside Italy.
Winner of the “International Literary Prize Umberto Saba” (Trieste) for translation and scholarship.
Awarded by the Triestinian cultural association “Altamarea”, the P.E.N. Club Trieste (a branch of the
international association of writers with headquarters in the U.K.), the Dept of Languages and Literatures at

Activities within the Italian-Canadian Community – Current
2007-present Consigliere (Counsellor) in the Comitato direttivo (Executive Committee) of the “Comunità di
Lussinpiccolo, Associazione italiana dei Lussignani non più residenti a Lussino”, an association of Italians from the
islands of Lussino and Cherso (today, Losinj and Cres, in Croatia). The association currently has 1,899 members (as
of October 2012), mostly in Italy, but also in Croatia, Canada, and the USA. Its aim is to help diasporic Italians from
Lussino and Cherso remain in touch with one another and with the islands. The association publishes a quarterly
newsletter, Lussino (which often runs to 60 or more pages), organizes social and cultural events in Italy and Croatia,
represents the community as necessary both with the Italian government and with other associations of expatriates,
and helps to maintain alive the dialect and identity of the indigenous Italian population of the two islands.
1991-present Editor, El Boletin, quarterly newsletter of the Club Giuliano-Dalmato (Toronto), an association of
Italo-Canadians from the region of Venezia Giulia, Istria, and Dalmatia. Circulation: circa 450 world-wide.
