Valeria Wenderoth
Valeria Wenderoth was born and raised in Italy. She earned a B.A., M.A., and a Ph.D. in Music at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. Her area of interest is Italian and French Opera. She is a published author both in Italy and in the U.S.A. She has been teaching Italian at UH Manoa LLEA since 2002. Beside Italian language and culture courses (ITAL 101, 102, 201, 202, 311, and LLEA 256), Valeria has taught a number of music classes as well. She presently works also for the Center for Teaching Excellence.

Guido Carlo Pigliasco,
Guido Carlo Pigliasco, a native of Milano, received his J.D. from the University of Milano and his Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Hawai'i where he lectures at the Department of Anthropology and at the Department of Languages and Literatures of Europe and the Americas. He has conducted research in Samoa, Hawai'i, Cook Islands, Papua New Guinea, Rapa Nui, Fiji and in the rural Italian milieu on the cultural property and commodification of ritual performances. He uses visual images and technologies in research and has combined academic with applied work. Taking after a bibliophile father --a pupil of Benedetto Croce-- and a mother whose literary talent was discovered by Dino Buzzati, he soon became a regular contributor with Italian newspapers, magazines and television, for which he has written ten film-documentaries on the Pacific region (R.T.I. Mediaset, 1992-1993). In 2000 he published Paradisi Inquieti (Torino: EDT), a collage of field notes deflating the touristic clichés associated with the iconic "South Seas" and unveiling the buried stories of the Italians in Oceania. A long-time member of the Friends of Italy Society of Hawai'i, he is the promoter and organizer of the Italian Cinema program at Manoa.
