I have felt confident enough to add my name here after I learnt from a general circular from the Fondazione Gramsci that Patrizio Rotondo, a former student of philosophy and now a teacher of history and philosophy in a high school in Rome, won the “Alberto Cardosi” international prize given by the Gramsci Foundation in Rome for a work entitled “Dai margini della storia, del testo, dell’immaginazione. I subalterni in Spivak e Gramsci,” which included, in the appendix, a translation into Italian of the Introduction to my Aesthetic Education in the Era of Globalization. The late Gregory Baratta, who knew Gramsci, wrote to me a number of times that I really understood Nino, in that I emphasized the theme of education quite in that way. But since he did not mention my name in two pieces on Gramsci’s reputation in the U.S., I naturally do not cite him.
