The Italian Embassy in Ankara participated in the sixteenth week of the Italian language in the world (October 17 to 23), which this year will be dedicated to the theme “The Italian and creativity: brands and costumes, fashion and design”.

It will also provide opportunities for creativity in the kitchen with the chef’s Daniel Evangelista workshop. As usual, the week will host a big musical event, with a concert by the mezzo soprano Chiara Mainese and Baritone Berkan Akinci, accompanied by Orkestra Akademik Baskent conducted by Orhun Orhon.
