Book Club

The Italian Book Club in Vancouver is promoted by

the DANTE SOCIETY of BC in collaboration with

the ITALIAN CULTURAL INSTITUTE TORONTO (IIC).

It is free and open to all those in Canada interested in friendly and thought-provoking discussions (in Italian) of Italian books: fiction, non-fiction, classics, prize-winners, etc.

It meets once a month

(normally the third Tuesday of each month)

from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM (Pacific Time).

ALL MEETINGS ARE CURRENTLY HELD

ONLINE ON ZOOM

Silvia Giabardo is the Book Club administrator.

Each month, a different coordinator will take turns

in hosting the Book Club.

The Italian Book Club is not a language class,

yet an opportunity to meet other bibliophiles,

share ideas and deepen one's understanding

of Italian literature, history and culture.

It is also a great opportunity to practice reading

and conversation in Italian in a relaxed atmosphere.

Intermediate to advanced level of Italian is recommended.

If you would like to join the meetings,

please email info@dantesocietybc.ca to receive the MEETING CODE.
