Due to the outbreak of Wuhan Coronavirus flu in Northern Italy, the prefect of Verona and the Rector of the Verona University have suspended lectures and public activities and they have locked the libraries and common spaces. While the situation is not as alarming as presented by the media, it is necessary to follow the guidelines of the public authorities. Therefore the workshop "Languages and Cultures in Contact in the Ancient Mediterranean", scheduled for Thursday 27.02 and Friday 28.02, will NOT take place.
