Our activities are many and varied. For example, in the past we have enjoyed illustrated talks on The Architecture of Rome, Inverness Yesterday and Today, The Music of Venice, Murder at the Lakes, Italian cinema and Burns Night in English and Italian. We have sampled top quality Italian wines, eaten tasty dishes at our pasta evenings, and tested our knowledge of Italy in fun quizzes.

We are also hoping to organise Italian language classes for those interested in learning basic Italian.
