Colazione con Giulia Borelli — How did Italy become a Republic?
Saturday 31 Agosto, 10am-12pm
Dante Rooms, Freemans Bay Community Centre
52 Hepburn St, Freemans Bay
If you are studying Italian and are in love with Italy, you understand how crucial history is to understanding Italian culture and society.
Italy became a unified country in 1861 - at least officially - and it became a Republic less than 100 years ago, in 1946! How did we get there? What happened on June 2nd and 3rd 1946? Why is it important for our modern society?
Giulia Borelli is an Italian teacher, podcaster, and globetrotter dedicated to making Italian history and culture accessible to curious Italian learners. You can listen to her podcast Italian Time Zone to explore Italy and plunge into the Italian language.
In her lesson, Giulia provides a historical overview from the unification of Italy to the birth of the Italian Republic, also discussing little-known facts about well-known cities!
On the same day, from 11am to 12pm, we will also have our Italian book exchange Scambiamoceli. Bring your Italian books and swap with other readers!
