Italian Culture Days

Hi everyone,

This week at my university took place a very impressive set of events. All were related to Italian culture and lasted from Monday to Thursday in classes of Neofilology Department. Students from Italian faculty prepared a really special schedule.

The first full day was addressed to Italian wines. One student told us some facts and curiosities about wines, its production, types etc. Then ,there was organised a wine tasting at one restaurant in the center of the city.

The second day started with a singing event. During this meeting our Italian colleague presented the history of Italian song, describing various types of music and places of its progress. Then, there was a while to present students' talents. Five girls sang more or less familiar Italian songs. I gave them respect because I appreciate every person who can sing because I cannot.
In the afternoon it took place a meeting with an opera singer who told us about her job and passion for the opera. One student also presented us information about opera, what it is and why it is worth to like it. There was organised a food and drinks with Italian cakes and sweets. Students and lecturers did their best to prepare time-consuming and really delicous delicacies.

The third day was related to colors and more precisely to blue and red one. There were two lectures dedicated to various depictions of colors, its importance in culture, books' plot and our life. There were also two other, which presented a television language and how Italian press consider events taken place in Poland.

On Thursday students of Italian filology organised a debate, the main idea of which was job with Italian language. There were invited three guests who told us about their job, perspectives on the job market and gave us plenty of good advices. The debate was really impressive and also interesting.

The next Italian Culture Days will be organised next year !
