Italian scholar of Bengali?

[mkapstei at UCHICAGO.EDU]

Dear Allen,

Eleonora Caturegli at Santiniketan may be a useful
contact here, though I'm sorry that I don't have her current email address. 
She's not a scholar of Bengali - her area is performance art - but she's 
connected with people in literature etc. 

best,
Matthew
