Location
King's College London
Speaker: Richard Calvocoressi
The speaker traces his family’s origins in the period when Chios was a prosperous merchant colony under Genoese rule to its reinvention post-diaspora as traders working in Liverpool and London for the hugely successful Anglo-Chiot firm of Ralli Brothers, of whose Indian branch his grandfather became director. The speaker’s great-great grandfather was born on Chios, his greatgrandfather in Constantinople, his grandfather in Liverpool, his father in Calcutta, and the speaker himself in Kent: 150 years of gradual migrations.
