The Italian language, therefore, as a tool for access to understanding, awareness, education and respect for the environment. We will talk about Italian and sustainability not only to illustrate Italy&#8217;s commitment to the fight against climate change, but also to delve deeper into the work of one of the greatest Italian intellectuals of the twentieth century, Italo Calvino, on the centenary of his birth. Through a debate and an exhibition of drawings designed for younger people, but not only, we will try to stimulate reflection on the impact of our civilization on the environment, which was one of the central themes of the writer&#8217;s works. Over the centuries, the idea of \u200b\u200bthe environment and the relationship between the human and the natural has also been formed through literature. But it is above all in the contemporary era &#8211; exposed to the consequences of the climate crisis, the collapse of biodiversity, the spread of pandemics &#8211; that literature and ecology find elements of mutual implication. The hope is that rereading Calvino&#8217;s work can help us become more aware, less indifferent, and willing to create a better planet&#8221;<strong> declared Ambassador Antonello De Riu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian Language in the World Week occurs every year on the third week of October.
