The topic of the Week this year is “Italian and the web, social networks for the Italian Language”. This issue is relevant and covers the relationship between the Italian language and the Internet, new information technologies and social communications.

The Italian Language Week is an international project aimed at promoting the language of modern culture and art. Every year, on the third week of October, events are organized around the world, including conferences, exhibitions, concerts, meetings, etc.

The initiative was launched in 2001 through the joint action of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and the Accademia della Crusca, which was subsequently joined by the Swiss Confederation, where Italian is one of the country's official languages.
