Giochi & Buon Cibo!

For the first event of the year, the Italian and the Asian House joined forces to organise a great game night!

Almost 30 residents attended and played charades, that was a lot of fun! Then we had a delicious dinner together, with dishes from our different countries 🙂 The Italian contribution was Parmigiana & Nutella cake… We had 0 leftovers so big success!

Can’t wait to have our next event. Stay tuned!

The Floating Piers

Ever wished to walk barefoot in the middle of a beautiful lake? Possibly in Italy?   😉

Well hurry up then!

The installation “The Floating Piers” was conceived and developed by artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude, who chose the suggestive location of Lake Iseo (Lombardia) for their project. This features a dock system rising just above the surface of the water and allowing visitors to explore the lake and the Island of San Paolo. It certainly is a unique experience!

The installation will be available only until July 3rd, for more information you can visit the official website. “Walking on water” has never been so easy! 😉

 

 

Espresso & more

This was our last Spesso Espresso of the school year!

Hope you enjoyed the coffee, cappuccino, torta al limone & the company 😉 We surely did and are already looking forward to our next meeting!

It’s time to master the Polenta art

Come make polenta with us, learn about its origins and its cooking process! 

Our Italian House friend Inge will lead this lab, sharing her secrets with us. She will also bring us a polenta-based dinner 😉

All the magic is happening as usual in the lounge of the Italian House and it’s starting this Wednesday at 6pm 🙂 Don’t miss this!

We’re all chocolate experts now…

…Or not.

Anyway, last night’s tasting was great!

Francisco did an amazing job presenting the samples and challenging us to guess their different flavors and aromas. Lidia was by far our best connaisseur 😉

We also had a brief quiz about Italian chocolate and everyone did their best trying to read the questions in perfect Italian. Finally, Mami & Matt were our winners! Congratulations everyone and thanks for coming, alla prossima  😉

 

Cioccolata per tutti!

Real chocolate for real chocolate lovers!

That’s our motto for tomorrow: join us at 8 pm to taste Italian and Ecuadorian chocolate and learn something about your favorite sweet stuff. We’ll have a little quiz to test your knowledge in the field as well… and of course, you’re welcome to taste the samples!

A huge GRAZIE to Francisco for organizing this event and providing the chocolate!!!

Ci vediamo domani, un lunedi’ ‘cioccolatoso’ 😉
