The Italian Cultural Institute of Melbourne, under the High Patronage of the President of the Republic, in honour of the return of the XXII Week of the Italian Language in the World presents a series of lectures in collaboration with Treccani and CO.AS.IT.
The lectures focus on the Italian language and the tools Treccani offers readers to investigate its proper use and countless facets, with a particular focus on the contemporary context, in line with the theme chosen for the Week: “Italian and Youth. Excuse me? I don’t follow you!”
Giovanna Fazzuoli is a Doctor of Contemporary Art History with a research on Italian analytical abstraction. Head of Research and Development of new projects for Treccani.
The utopian intent of creating a vocabulary of images, “Utopia” is a collection of artist posters that celebrate contemporary creativity and the fascination of the language we speak and write, through which we interpret the present and imagine the future. Invading the walls with the words of the Treccani Vocabulary and with the images of the artists to consolidate the vocabulary and stimulate the imagination of the reader and the observer: this is the ultimate goal of the Utopia project, an immense archive, in progress, which gives back a photograph of the contemporary artistic panorama while enhancing the Italian language, its richness and its transformations.
