We are thrilled to invite AHO members to register for the 2024 AHO General Assembly Meeting which is being held on Oct 4-5 in Rome.

AHO members wishing to attend the general assembly meeting please refer to instructions and details in the (password-protected) internal page.
Institutions interested in AHO membership and 2024 meeting attendance should contact the AHO President mshetrone(at)ucolick.org.
LOC would be happy to facilitate contacts but these activities will not be organized by the LOC.
We can recommend tour guides (Americans living in Italy): for Florence, Tuscany, Baroque Rome, Assisi …as well as tour guides for the Albano area for your significant other and/or other guests. The area is very rich in fascinating history (aqueducts, catacombs…) but very little is accessible without a guide.
