Free webinar “The Italian language: back to the origins”

March 25, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Have you ever wondered when the Italian language was born? What is the origin of the Romance languages? And above all, do you know how did the transition from Latin to the modern Romance languages take place? To find out, on the occasion of Dantedì, March 25th, our Latin tutor John Whelpton will take us to the fascinating discovery of the changes that have marked the passage from Latin to the Romance languages we speak today.
