The Associazione Italo-Americana |
The Daniel S. Lipman AIA Office
Daniel S. Lipman a Bologna Center alumnus from the Class of 1978 and senior vice president for Westinghouse Electric Corporation in Pennsylvania has generously supported the renovation work of the office space of the Associazione Italo-Americana Luciano Finelli at the Bologna Center.
Lipman's generous gesture honors his life-long friend, Mariagrazia.
Lipman met Mariagrazia when they were both students: he was a student at the Bologna Center and she was an English language student at the Associazione Italo-Americana Luciano Finelli. Mariagrazia and her family provided Lipman with an important link to the Bologna community along with significant support throughout his studies, not limited to: trips outside the city, medical help and, naturalmente, meals.
After leaving Bologna, their friendship continued through mutual visits which included Mariagrazia's daughter Eva residing with Lipman's family for a period to care for his young sons. Lipman decided to support the Associazione Italo-Americana Luciano Finelli, without which, he would never have met such an important, special, and lifelong friend - a friendship now 30 years old. It is his hope that all Bologna Center students have the opportunity to establish and nourish such wonderful relationships. |
