Our dear friends from Verbania have come to visit again this year, bringing their proverbial joy and their spirit of involvement, while offering their support of the ICBIE activities.
On Wednesday, July 1st, they brought the Italian students together for an enjoyable lesson in Italian cuisine, preparing a variety of different and delicious pizzas!!!!! The students, besides appreciating the linguistic exercise, loved the exquisite pizzas, prepared by Maddelena’s expert hands.
Our friends also brought various materials donated by the IV Circle Elementary School of Verbania for our courses, and, in particular, for the drawing course. Because of their support, the drawing lessons will also be offered during the next semester. A big thank you from everyone at the ICBIE, and especially from our young and promising artists (and when you see their work, you will understand better!)!!!!!
This semester’s drawing class will finish on Saturday, July 18th, with an exposition here at the ICBIE that will be reported in a future article, but, in the meantime, last Saturday the students, together with the members of the Intermediate Italian course, wanted to model the t-shirts that Maddalena and Elisa brought from Italy, to offer a big smile and greetings to all the faithful readers of our blog and to thank our friends!
The drawings on the blackboard were made by the students of the Marco Polo school of Rome, as a greeting to the ICBIE Italian students, and they were brought by an elementary teacher named Giuseppina Ferri, who is a guest at our Institute for a few days. Giuseppina departed yesterday for Italy, and she took with her the postcards and drawings that our students in Brazil made for them. Yet another useful and precious cultural exchange!
Thanks again to Giuseppina, Maddalena and Elisa!
Come back soon!!!
