Agenda

Introductions – Joyce Ramée, President

Presentation – Francesca Giambartolomei

Francesca will speak about her native city but also the cities she grew up in, went to the university, and deeply influenced her. She will touch on the history, art, cuisine, and dialects. From the North to Center Italy, somehow even the South. Ask her the question she likes and hates the most: “where are you from”- “Di dove sei?” She hopes to make this online discussion interactive through asking questions of the audience.

Francesca is an Italian native, born in Cremona, northern Italy. She holds a laurea in Biology from the University of Padua and Masters of Biology from Eastern Michigan University. She left Italy in 1994 and has lived in New Zealand and the United States. She has a passion for teaching her native language, as a way of maintaining and exploring the Italian language and culture with different eyes. She has taught privately and in many institutions to students of different proficiency levels groups, including for the Dante Alighieri Society of Washington. Francesca is interested in literature, art and design, and in her free time, she likes reading, cooking, and making jewelry and ceramics.
