On the occasion of the XXIII Week of the Italian Language in the World (Oct. 16 – 22, 2023), the schools and universities in the jurisdiction of the Consulate General of Italy in Miami in which Italian is taught have been invited to develop projects on the theme of “Italian and Sustainability,<\/em>” in connection with the centenary of the birth of Italo Calvino, a famous author in whose work references to environmental issues are frequent.<\/p>\n
