Indeed, two decades ago, Italian studies were in serious danger of extinction. I am also proud that the study of Italian language, society and culture is flourishing in our own University and many other Australasian tertiary institutions. As Vice-Chancellor of The University of Western Australia I am very proud of the fact that our University was chosen in 2001 as the base for the Foundation s Australasian Centre for Italian Studies (ACIS), Cassamarca s main instrument in Australia. Index 269Ĩ vii Foreword Professor Alan Robson Vice-Chancellor, The University of Western Australia The opportunity to introduce this collection of writings in honour of Dr Dino De Poli, the late Emeritus Professor Bill Kent and the Cassamarca Foundation is one I embrace with pride and affection.

From branches high above cackle the cockatoos.
A new star! marvel the mobs of kangaroos, Leaping in time to greet Ausonia s Muses. Down, through southern skies aflash, De Poli flies. Discende De Poli, lampeggiante tra cieli australi Mandrie di canguri meravigliati dalla nuova stella Insieme saltellando alle Muse occidentali rendono grazie Ed negli alberi alti i cockatoo ridacchiano Cosi il nuovo mondo gioisce nelle arti di entrambi i poli. Artibus en gaudebit utrisque polis novus orbis.
4 iii In honour of Dr Dino De Poli on his visit to Perth, August 2009 Descendit Polius per caelum australe coruscans Et stellae stupefacta novae agmina Cangaruarum Pieridum Hesperiae numeris saltant celebrantque Cacatuae pendentes ramo altoque cachinnant.
