Pomodoro in italiano: Explore Italian Language, Art, and Culinary Culture through a Unique Workshop

This two-part workshop offers adults learning Italian at a B1-B2 level an immersive experience into Italian artistic and culinary culture. Participants will engage in linguistic exercises while exploring the Italian influences within the Royal Łazienki Museum's grounds and creating an authentic Italian dish.

The 'Pomodoro in italiano' workshop is designed for adults at the B1-B2 level of Italian language proficiency, offering an engaging way to deepen their understanding of both the Italian language and its rich culture. The event is divided into two sessions: the first, held on June 6, 2025, focuses on Italy's artistic heritage, exploring Italian influences within the Royal Łazienki Museum's architecture and gardens, culminating with discussions inspired by Arnaldo Pomodoro's sculpture. The second session, on June 13, 2025, delves into Italy's renowned culinary traditions, where participants will cook an Italian dish under the guidance of a native Italian speaker, learning essential culinary vocabulary and phrases. Led by Gianluca Cafagna, the workshops are conducted primarily in Italian, with the possibility of Polish for clarification. Participants will not only enhance their conversational skills but also gain insights into Italian art and gastronomy. As a special incentive, all attendees will receive a unique publication titled 'Włoskie spacery po Warszawie' (Italian Walks in Warsaw), a guide exploring the cultural connections between Warsaw and Italy through art, history, and society, co-authored by various institutions including the College of Europe in Natolin and the Italian Embassy in Warsaw.

Each workshop costs 30 PLN and tickets can be purchased online. Participants are advised to familiarize themselves with the workshop kitchen regulations prior to attending the culinary session. Specific health and safety guidelines for food handling are also detailed for participants' awareness.
