The week features events and conferences based around Italian, organised by the various institutions across the world which are dedicated to teaching the language.
The theme of this year’s event is ‘Italian and the Web: Social Networks for the Italian Language’.
This is a highly topical subject, and will delve into the interactions and influences between the Italian language, the internet, new information technologies and social communications, including social platforms.
Influenced by new communication technologies which overcome time and space constraints, and the rising use of the internet in the immediate diffusion of information, language continues to evolve.
This topic will be explored in depth by experts, writers, academics and professional figures until Sunday, October 21.
Other themes which have been explored in past editions include cinema, fashion, design and music.
