Francesco Colafemmina—author, classical philologist, translator, and philhellene—spoke about an event to be held in Taranto, Italy, on Monday, 9 February, dedicated to Lord Byron and the Exodus of Messolonghi, as part of the celebrations for World Greek Language Day. He joined Voice of Greece radio on the program “Our Global Voice”, presented by Dimitris Kontogiannis.
Mr Colafemmina also discussed his own scholarly path, which has led him to translate works by Asia Minor author Ilias Venezis and to research the life and work of Ioannis Kapodistrias, the first Governor of Greece. His research is nearly complete, and he expects his book on Kapodistrias to be published in Italian later in 2026.
