The Week of the Italian Language in the World promotes Italian as a language of classical and contemporary culture. As a celebration of this initiative, the diplomatic and cultural network of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Italy selects a theme and organises a series of events in the third week of October.
To commemorate the event's 17th anniversary, the chosen theme is "L'italiano al cinema, l'italiano nel cinema" (Italian at the cinema, Italian in the cinema).
In honour of this theme, the Marco Polo Italian Language School will be hosting a free screening of the Italian comedy-drama film Pinocchio (2002), directed by and starring Roberto Benigni. The film will be screened in Italian with English subtitles.
