In 1958, the Barbieri Endowment felt that Trinity had fulfilled all its expectations of the two grants, and awarded $100,000 to serve as a permanent endowment for the Barbieri program, which became the Cesare Barbieri Center of Italian Studies with its own charter, by-laws, and board of directors. Professor Campo became the Director of the Center and it immediately began hosting events and activities such as a three-day conference on Italian music and Italian art exhibition in co-sponsorship with the Wadsworth Atheneum. The Barbieri Center also supported the making of a documentary focused on the life of the 14th century poet, Dante, a collaboration between various professors including Michael Campo, and published a journal of Italian culture called the //Cesare Barbieri Courier//, which ran for over 10 years consistently. | In 1958, the Barbieri Endowment felt that Trinity had fulfilled all its expectations of the two grants, and awarded $100,000 to serve as a permanent endowment for the Barbieri program, which became the Cesare Barbieri Center of Italian Studies with its own charter, by-laws, and board of directors.
