Italian Language and Cultural Events

Our Italian language and cultural events bring students together to speak Italian in a relaxed and informal setting. These activities have expanded the traditional Tavola italiana into a variety of hands-on, social and cultural experiences where students can practice Italian while learning more about Italian culture and getting to know other members of the Italian-speaking community at Dickinson.
Recent events have included bocce and foosball tournaments, pasta- and pizza-making workshops, holiday decorating, Halloween pumpkin painting, painting Italian landscapes, Italian snacks (merenda), Italian trivia, and “Cacchio! Italian Insults, Vulgarities, and Slang.” Activities change throughout the year, giving students opportunities to use Italian outside the classroom in fun and creative ways.
Students of all levels are welcome to participate.
