Join us for an evening of show-and-tell about the fascinating art of Italian printmaking.

Meet master Italian printer Giancarlo Busato and learn about the artisan workshop in Vicenza where centuries-old techniques and traditions continue to flourish. Discover the world of Aldus Manutius, a pioneer of printing and publishing in Renaissance Italy, and hear from SFU experts about the magnificent Wosk-McDonald Aldine Collection housed in the university’s library.

Finally, listen to how students of Italian in SFU’s World Languages and Literatures Department are blending language study and printmaking in the classroom today.

Art exhibit to follow.

This event is part of the 26th annual edition of the Week of Italian Language in the World. This year’s theme is “Brilliant Language: Conceiving, Designing and Creating with Italian.”
