Festival (ITALY) in the year 1999 or, more recently, the Poetry Festival in Hull, Great Britain. Among the lectures held by Dan Fante about his novels and poems and about his father, John Fante, we can remember the ones that took place in Torricella Peligna and Pescasseroli (ITALY) in August 2000, (together with the Italian writer Dacia Maraini), and at Turin University in October 2001, apart from the creative writing lessons, such as the one held at the Holden School, in Turin (ITALY) in October 2001, when Dan Fante was invited to teach during the course of Master in Creative Writing, or the lesson held at the Università "Gabriele D'Annunzio" in Pescara (ITALY), in November 2001,
