Giornata dell'italiano

13 aprile, 2023
Brandeis University, Waltham (MA)

Join us in celebrating Italian and our students’ creativity during our Giornata dell’italiano!
For the 5th year, MITA is sponsoring the annual Italian Day for secondary school students of Italian in Massachusett.
This year La Giornata will take place at Brandeis University (Waltham, MA) and we are particularly grateful to the head of the Italian Studies Department, prof. Paola Servino, and the Italian Consulate in Boston for co-sponsoring and collaborating with us. In this contest we invite each participating school to create a 10-15 mins. skit, or another form of performance in Italian about the topic chosen by the organizing committee. For more information, visit our dedicated page.
Registration closes on March 17, 2023.
