Carratelli (ed.), Western Greeks (1996)
[Bibliography]

The Exhibition ‘The Western Greeks’, held at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice, in 1996, has been a cultural event of exceptional importance. The Catalogue is an ‘epic’ work due to the fifty four contributions of the First Part (pp. 25-633); they bring together all sorts of issues which constitute the long journey of the Greeks in a foreign world: the West Mediterranean.
