La Dolce Lettura, The Art of Italian Hand Gestures

The use of hand gestures to impart meaning has been a part of Italian culture for centuries. Learn how these nonverbal cues developed as a practical way to bridge communication. 

Students from the American University in Rome will help demonstrate the most popular and iconic hand signs. 

You don't want to miss this!! 

And remember to bring something to share for our show and tell.  Do you have a special memory of Italy, or of your Italian family? Do you have a memento to share? A photo? A story? We reserve the first moments of La Dolce Lettura for your own personal stories and reflections.  

This program is FREE!
