Festival Italiano - meet the team!


Festival Italiano is the largest event organised by Società Dante Alighieri Auckland, which is an Italian language school, a society and a registered charity in NZ.

The Dante Auckland is also an important hub for the local Italian community, and all our events are open to Kiwis of all ethnic backgrounds, to connect with us and each other in a friendly environment, and also to learn about Italian culture, language and lifestyle.

At the Dante we organise Festival Italiano every year to offer the city of Auckland a little taste of Italy, and as the event grows every year so grow the number of people involved.

Click here to find out a few interesting facts about the Festival management team, and come to the event to meet the 100 or so other volunteers, Italian and New Zealanders, who make this event happen.

And remember, this is a free community event, so every visitor can also help out our volunteers and staff with a smile and a grazie, and by having a good time!

Books! Libri! New arrivals! Nuovi arrivi!





New arrivals at the Dante’s Library!
Among the many new titles, you can find Umberto Eco’s “L’isola del giorno prima”, Ken Follet’s “Codice zero” and the “Twilight” saga in Italian.
For those of you who are interested in the phenomenon of organized crime and/or Italian mysteries, we suggest you to read Giovanni Falcone’s “Cose di Cosa Nostra” (Giovanni Falcone is a judge and prosecuting magistrate who was killed by Mafia in 1992) and  Massimo Centini’s “Misteri d’Italia”.
On the same subject, in English, you will be able to find John Dickie’s “Cosa Nostra, a history of the sicilian Mafia” and  Peter Robb’s “Midnight in Sicily”.
A special mention for another new arrival, the winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Price “La breve vita di Oscar Wao”, in the superb Italian translation done by Silvia Pareschi. Silvia Parteschi also translated books of Jonathan Franzen, Don DeLillo, Zadie Smith and Julie Otsuka. An interview with her, conducted by Matteo not long ago, will be published in the Dante’s blog soon (stay tuned).
Dante’s Library is always open and available for students, members and the curious. Just come and have a look.
If you have questions you can find Matteo every Thursday morning between 10am and midday.

Buone letture!
