ABOUT

The Week of the Italian Language in the World is held every year in October. Organized by the diplomatic-consular network and the Italian Cultural Institutes in collaboration with  language promotion partners, this initiative has over time become the most important review on a global scale dedicated to the Italian language. Each year, the week is dedicated to a different theme that serves as a leitmotif for a rich program of conferences, exhibitions and meetings.
