Friday, March 24th at 2:30 - 5:30 pm. Learning Commons 107 - University of San Diego Campus (5998 Alcalá Park, San Diego, CA). Beatrice Basso is going to USD to speak about the Italian language and cultural work she did for Pixar’s film LUCA which takes place in a fictional Italian town inspired by the coastal town of Cinque Terre. She will discuss the beauty, yet challenges of representing Italy in the film.

She is also the Creative Director for the Italian Cultural Center (ICC). There will be time for students to learn more about how they can become involved to help share Italian culture in San Diego and to learn about the history of the local Italian community. There will be a screening of the film LUCA, following the presentation. Free of charge. Snacks and drinks will be provided. Please register here.

This event is organized by ICLO in partnership with the National Italian American Foundation.
