On April 7, 2017, a group of Italian students won second place in a competition with local high schools at Brandeis University. “La giornata della Lingua Italian” (Italian Language Day) is organized and sponsored every year by MITA (Massachusetts Italian Teachers Association) in collaboration with a local university.

It is a friendly competition held among high schools and this year it was held at Brandeis. Students were required to present a live, original piece written and performed by them on a topic determined by the organizing committee. This year there were five performances and they were all magnificent!
