This is the 42nd year Italian Classes are offered at Saint John's School. Every Saturday mornings, over one hundred fifty students from around the Greater Boston area, come to the Saint John School in the North End. There, professional native-born Italian teachers provide serious, well-structured courses in the Italian language. The program also runs, thanks to committed people like Tino Valdesolo, and Rosario Cascio, a yearly trip to Italy.

April 15 - June 14 | Lois B. and Michael K. Torf Gallery (Gallery 184) | Museum of Fine Arts | 465 Huntington Avenue, Boston Leonardo da Vinci and the Idea of Beauty
In an intimate exhibition featuring master drawings by Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, the star is a study of an
angel that the art historian Sir Kenneth Clark called "the most beautiful...in the world." Leonardo da Vinci's accomplishments in art and science find their common ground in his drawings, into which he poured the full fervor of his intelligence and creative powers. Throughout his career, Leonardo experimented with various types of drawings: scientific studies; grotesque caricatures of craggy faces; and the most beautiful faces of men and women that he could imagine. Many of Leonardo's most admired drawings are featured in this rich and varied selection of 29 sheets and a manuscript, opening on April 15, fittingly Leonardo's birthday.
One revelation for visitors will be the rarely displayed Codex on Flight, one of Leonardo's most perceptive scientific explorations, with its nearly hidden self-portrait of Leonardo as a young man, a recent discovery. The exhibition features rare loans from a number of Italian public collections, including the Uffizi Museum in Florence, the Biblioteca Reale in Turin, and the Casa Buonarroti, the ancestral property of Michelangelo in Florence, which has lent eight drawings by that master.

Chiasmi 2015 - "Time to Translate - Translation in Time"
Chiasmi was founded as a collaboration between the graduate students of Italian Studies from Brown and Harvard Universities. The rhetorical figure chosen as the name of the collaboration expresses the relationship of symmetry and reciprocity with which the doctoral students of the two universities intend to contribute in the development and investigation of questions and issues pertaining to Italian Studies.
Chiasmi has a precise objective. From the beginning of March 2008, a yearly conference will be held by the doctoral students in Italian Studies hosted alternately at Brown University and Harvard University. In addition to the conference, there will also be an online journal in which the conference proceedings will be published.
The objective of this conference is to construct an open and innovative space for research and debate amongst those who work in the field of Italian Studies
The Fong Auditorium is located in Boylston Hall, the Romance Languages and Literature Department's building in the Harvard Yard.
