Annu Palakunnathu Matthew was awarded a 2024 Beatrice S. Demers Fellowship to study Italian in the summer of 2024 and received funding to continue her research and meet the descendants of the Italian families who sheltered escaped Indian prisoners from the Italian Campaign of World War II. She will be giving a talk at the Festival delle Culture Popolari in Collelonga, a town that hid some of these soldiers.
