Italian is a piece of cake
My first time as a yoga class “leader” was awesome thanks to you guys!
After some stretching and various yoga poses (for each of which we found a suitable translation in both Italian and Japanese), Nutella and cookies were well-deserved! While we recovered from the physical efforts, Mami (the Japanese CPC) presented the differences between the Japanese definition of “beauty” and the Italian one. Thank you for joining us for sport and snacks!:) Alla prossima!

Great success for the language houses BBQ last Saturday
Our international dishes were yummy and we enjoyed playing different sports/dancing under the sun!
And when we got tired, we just talked in the shades 🙂 If you didn’t join this time, make sure you do come to our next event, see you there!
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!
This is the official invitation to our first cultural event and yes, there is food involved!
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!
The Italian town of Gemona has set the record for the largest Tiramisù in culinary history.
