✨ WEEK OF THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD 2026 🇮🇹

🎭 Dante’s Inferno: A Fusion of Text, Music and Thought

On October 27, audiences gathered at Factory Theatre for an unforgettable journey into the world of Dante Alighieri’s "Divine Comedy", where poetry, live music, and contemporary reflection came together in a powerful theatrical experience.

Created by DopoLavoro Teatrale and commissioned by Canada’s prestigious Stratford Festival, the performance brought Dante’s timeless verses to life through Daniele Bartolini’s interpretation, Prof. Donato Santeramo’s insightful narration, and Andrea Gozzi’s evocative live music.

From the darkness of the Inferno to the universal search for meaning and hope, the evening offered a fresh perspective on a literary masterpiece whose questions continue to resonate across generations.

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to the artists, collaborators, and everyone who joined us in celebrating the enduring power of Italian language and culture!

✏️ DISEGNO

Drawing? Plan? Design? Intention?

In 🇮🇹, “disegno” can be a mark on a page, a plan for an object or a space, or the idea behind something 📝. One word simultaneously meaning imagination and planning.

In fact, before something can be built, it often has to be drawn. 🎨 And before the drawing, there is an idea. 💭

From Renaissance sketches to architectural plans, “disegno” is where an idea becomes visible.

What idea would you bring to life?

✨ ESTRO

Flair? Inspiration? Creative instinct?

“Estro” is the spark that makes an idea distinctly your own. It is what turns a sketch into a signature, a technique into a style, a familiar idea into something unexpected. ❤️‍🔥

You can feel it in 🇮🇹 Italian fashion 🧵, art and music 🎶, or wherever creativity becomes a personal language.

You can have technique without “estro”. But “estro” is what makes it different, and yours. 💫

What would you achieve if you let your instinct lead the way?
