Thank you everyone for coming last Thursday!
I have a feeling you appreciated the food and we definitely had a lot of fun playing taboo! The best team, “Le Bellissime”, even won delicious cupcakes 😉
Here are some pictures, thank you Jordan for being our official photographer of the day! I also want to thank David and Dario for helping out in the kitchen! Don’t miss our next event in the Italian House, stay tuned!
Bruschetta Night!
Ciao ragazzi!
This is the official invitation to our first cultural event and yes, there is food involved!
We’ll be having a Bruschetta Night in the Italian House on Thursday (August, 27) .
Please confirm your participation at sara.venturelli@ColoradoCollege.edu, so that I know how many people to expect. This helps us order the right amount of food and reduce waste.
We’ll start cooking at 5 pm and I would really appreciate if some of you could give me a hand – the more people are cooking, the sooner we’ll get to actually eat, right? Please, let me know if you are willing to help me out in the kitchen.
Hope to see you all on Thursday, enjoy the first week at CC!

Welcome back AstroSamantha!
Samantha Cristoforetti, the first Italian woman astronaut, has spent 200 days (199 days and 16 hours) in space, the longest single space flight by a woman.
She has another record: the first espresso coffee in space, but this is probably less important…
Her CV is impressive: she dedicated her entire life to pursue this career. As part of her preparation, she studied in 5 different countries. In the process, Cristoforetti became a polyglot, fluent in Italian, English, German, French and Russian.
Samantha is the face of the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI). Yes, Italy has a spacial agency with an important programs and missions. Its motto?
The road to space through Italy
So, do you want to be an astronaut? Study Italian or…
… Vulcan 🙂
Live long and prosper!
