The show&#8217;s theme focused on why Italians often choose to emigrate  elsewhere for educational advancement and career opportunities. A University  of Rome alumnus, Macelloni spoke of his own experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI  discovered the university while completing my master\u2019s thesis six  years ago,\u201d he said. \u201cThe University of Mississippi has one of the  most advanced tools for deep-sea exploration anywhere in the world.  We\u2019re also involved in installing the first sea floor observatory  in the Gulf of Mexico. These things, plus the beautiful, historic campus  and warm faculty and students, appealed to me very much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although  he finished his degree in Italy, Macelloni\u2019s research interests led  him back to MMRI, where he has been employed for the past five years.  He and his advising professor in Rome have been instrumental in bringing  at least five Italian scientists to experience education in the UM School  of Engineering.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne  Italian scientist went to work for an oil company, another works in  Norway and a third is completing his doctorate at the University of  South Carolina,\u201d Macelloni said. \u201cTwo more master\u2019s students arrived  here in July and will remain on campus through the spring 2011 semester.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While  he probably won\u2019t become a celebrity as a result of his brief TV appearance,  Macelloni feels certain that some of those who saw and heard him will  investigate UM. And that\u2019s enough for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen  Italian scientists start looking for a university to further their education,  I want them to consider coming to Ole Miss,\u201d\u00a0Macelloni said.  \u201cWhy go anywhere else when what they seek can probably be found right  here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For  more information about the Mississippi Mineral Resources Institute,  go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.olemiss.edu\/depts\/mmri\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.olemiss.edu\/depts\/<wbr><\/wbr>mmri\/<\/a> or call 662-915-7320.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026 Leonardo Macelloni uses 15-minute interview to promote the Ole Miss experience Leo Macelloni (right), research professor in the Mississippi Minerals Research Institute, confers with visiting scholar Simona Caruso (left) in the geophysical lab aboard the research vessel Urania while surveying offshore Sicily.
