Ciao!

After not updating for an embarrassingly long amount of time, we have returned! Our first shindig is this Wednesday in the form of an Interest Meeting. It will be held in Cabell 323 at 7:00 pm.

We will discuss programs we are currently having, ask opinions on things you'd like to see happen, and unveil our big plan for the spring. Come out if you're interested or would like to help out with our mystery event. We really want to make it happen! See your smiling, fresh faces on Wednesday!

Champion's League Brackets!

Above is the set up, so gloriously put together by Jaime! Have fun and in bocca al lupo!

Photo Contest

Hi everybody! Along with the tutoring and once-a-week conversation programs we've set up, we're still brainstorming ideas that you can have fun with. The latest one is a Photo Contest where you can recreate your favorite work of Italian art in photo form. I know many of you are thinking of Michelangelo's David right now, but please, be tasteful. Below you will see the flyer for the event which depicts Da Vinci's The Last Supper and below it is photographer Annie Leibovitz's promo shot of the Sopranos in the same style.

We can't all be professional photographers but as you can see this could be really fun and interesting if we get plenty of submissions. Be tongue-and-cheek, be serious, be abstract! Whatever happens, La Società Italiana will be submitting a photo and goodness knows we want to win the prize we have lined up -- don't let us win so easily!

As for the format of the submissions, we want your photo paired with the work you're trying to replicate (so there's no confusion) and all submissions should be sent to rcc6a@virginia.edu by APRIL 11th. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

First Event!

The Italian Club is having it's first event! We'll be cooking spaghetti (of course) and a few other things for you all to enjoy so please please come. It will be a great way to meet each other, hear ideas, and have fun.
As far as logistics, the Facebook Event (click here to go to it) will tell you more (i.e. where it is). It's February 3rd at 7:00 pm and it's 5$ to get in to cover the cost of all the delicious food we're buying. See you guys there!

Benvenuto!

Ciao everyone! The main goal of this post is to inform you that the Interest Meeting for La Società Italiana will occur Tuesday November, 17th at 8pm in Cabell 341! We'll be talking about the aim of the club, ideas for events we can have, things we can do, etc. Please come with feedback and what you invision for the club. Here's the flyer:


That being said, all of us are really excited about all the possibilities this club's creation provides. The sky is the limit! We're thinking small scale events -- dinners, movies, etc, but also larger ones -- trips to see operas, help with studying abroad, and any other ideas YOU have. We've got a lot of things in the works and we can't wait to hear from you. We'll see you on Tuesday, 8pm, Cabell 341.
