New events for 2023/24
16-22 ottobre 2023
La nostra Società Dante-Alighieri Loughborough celebra la XXIII Settimana della lingua italiana nel
Mondo.
Un gruppo dei nostri studenti trascorre una vacanza studio a Dolianova per la terza edizione del Festival Atobius - Incontri di culture.
Siamo nel pieno delle attività per questa settimana ricca di eventi nei quali gli studenti di lingua si immergono in una realtà dell’ entroterra sardo imparando la lingua, sperimentando prodotti tipici locali che hanno la qualità, la sostenibilità e l’ ospitalità al centro delle proprie attività.
Un grazie particolare a tutti gli studenti che stanno apprezzando questa esperienza, ad Alessandro Picciau di Atobius e a tutti i suoi collaboratori ( Cristina, Stefano per menzionarne alcuni) e a Maura Mattana Tramonte de L'Accademia - Your school of Italian in the Mediterranean Sea e alle sue splendide insegnanti Stefania e Monica per le divertenti lezioni ai nostri studenti.
Dopo una settimana ricca di eventi, ci prepariamo alla serata finale, sabato 21 ottobre nel centro storico di Dolianova.

About us
The non for profit "Societa' Dante Alighieri" was founded in Rome in 1889 with the aim of promoting Italian culture. From its very beginning the DA Society received an enthusiastic welcome, particularly among the many Italian communities that had established themselves throughout the world.
In Loughborough the DA Society has been established for 38 years (from 1984), and has always aimed to promote and develop an interest in Italian culture and language across the local community.
The Society is not just for Italian speakers and it welcomes membership from every background. Culture doesn't include only the highbrow arts, in fact we have run events that reflect Italy of the past and the present.
This website is dedicated to sharing love and interests in Italy, his art, culture, cuisine and language. Check back often to learn about new contributions to our site, upcoming activities in the area, and ways to get involved with the DA Society! If you have any questions or comments, make sure to get in touch through the Contact Us section of the site.
