Historian to speak on artist Michelango the political propagandist, as expressed in his art, will be the subject of two lectures by an Italian historian, this Thursday and Friday at 8 p.m. in the Kansas Union Forum Room. Giorgio Spini, professor of modern history at the University of Florence, Italy, will speak about "Michelango as the Artist of the Florentine Republic" (Thursday), and "Michelango and the Tragedy of Florentine Liberty" (Friday). Both lectures will be illustrated with slides. Spini is also expected to make some brief comments on the destruction of some rare art work in Florence, caused by the recent floods. Currently, Spini is a visiting professor of Italian history and literature at the University of California, Berkeley. Formerly, he was a visiting professor at Harvard and the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He is also a member of the editorial board of one of Italy's leading historical journals, and the author of a volume on American historiography during the 19th century. Aldon Bell, assistant dean of the Liberal Arts School, said, "The interpretation of Michelango's art, in a political sense, can be of much benefit to the historian in understanding that period of Florentine history."
