Sandro Sticca, professor of French and comparative literature, has recently published S. Eustachio Martire. Santo Bizantino (Parma-Roma, Studies in Christian Thought and Tradition, 2014).

Sticca tries to separate the legendary and apocryphal elements from the historical reality of the general Placidus-Eustathius. Three authorities on Christian spirituality 鈥� Don Michele Persichitti, Antonio Varasso and Professor Vincenzo Centorame 鈥� centered a colloquium on Sticca’s book on Aug. 10, in the city of Casauria (Abruzzo).
