If you like reading Italian books in their original language, why not join us for our reading group? It’s a great way to meet new people online and have a chat about a book that will be recommended by our tutors. You can read the suggested title at your own pace then meet online to discuss and exchange views about the story. You could also have the chance to ask questions to the writer! We are honoured to have hosted Italian writers like Gianenrico Carofiglio, Niccolo Ammaniti, Anita Pulvirenti, Evita Greco, Chiara Gily and many more. Check our Youtube channel to view the chat with the authors!

Our book club 2026 will open with the reading of "L'incontro" by Michela Murgia.

Maurizio is ten years old and can't wait for the holidays to begin. For him, summer means staying with his grandparents in Crabas, in Sardinia: there every year he reunites with Franco and Giulio, brothers of marbles, scraped knees, and dragonfly hunting, and dominates with them a small universe governed by bonds that seem destined to last forever. But in the summer of 1986, something unpredictable will crack their childhood and show everyone, adults and children alike, how fragile the granite of collective identities can be. All it takes is a priest from outside the area to found a new parish to bring a spark of fanatical antagonism where previously there were only brotherhoods.
