Parliamo Italiano "Parliamo Italiano" is an extra fun and free opportunity for students who are interested in meeting other members of the Italian Institute and the local Italian community. This is an opportunity that is different from the typical classroom setting, where students can speak Italian with one another in a very relaxed fun environment, and share our passion for the Italian culture and language. We will talk about food, wine, culture and all other interests our faculty and students would like to share. Students should have a good foundation in the basic structure of the Italian language. Every second and fourth Saturday of the month, we will meet at a designated member’s home. This event is a potluck where we invite each of you to bring a beverage or dish to share. Cost: Free Location and Time: Please call or email the Italian Institute, (303) 733-4335 for location. Dates: February 11 February 25 The Italian Institute would like to thank their sponsors who helped make the Grand Opening a success, and of course all of our guests and students. A special thanks to 'Locanda Del Borgo', 'Marco's Coal-Fired Pizzeria','Baurs Ristorante', 'CityWine', and 'Deli Italia Center'.
