From October 17thto 23rd, during the 22nd“Week of Italian Language in the World”, a series of events were held both online and in-person by the Consulate-General of Italy in Chongqing together with universities in Chongqing and Chengdu,which presented the various shades of the glamorous Italian language and culture. Such events have given the young people in Chongqing a better understanding and knowledge of the Italian culture and language and enhanced the exchange and mutual trust between youth in Chongqing and Italy.

Themed “Italian and Young People”, the 22ndWeek of Italian Language in the World aims to explore the relationship between Italian language and youth and how the way the younger generation speak Italian and communicate has changed. Guido Bilancini,Consul-General of Italy in Chongqing, said at the online opening ceremony that this is a special way to closely observe the forms and methods of communication in a highly digitalized age. In addition to “Italian and Young People”, this year’s Week of Italian Language in the World also includes a sub-theme“Excuse Me? I Don’t Follow You”, which reflects the generation gap in terms of language not only between the younger and older generations, but also among the younger generation themselves.

10月17日至23日，第22屆世界意大利語言周期間，意大利駐重慶總領事館聯合重慶、成都的多所高校，通過線上線下相結合的形式舉辦系列活動，多角度呈現意大利文化和語言的魅力，加強重慶青年對意大利文化和語言的了解和認識，增進重慶與意大利青年間的交流互信。

第22屆世界意大利語言周以“意大利語與青年”為主題，旨在探討意大利語與年輕人的關系，探索意大利語和通信方式在新一代年輕人中的演變。意大利駐重慶總領事畢嵐祺在線上開幕式上介紹，這是近距離觀察高度數字化時代溝通形式及方法的一條特別途徑。除“意大利語與青年”之外，本屆意大利語言周還增設了一個副題“什么？抱歉，我跟不上你”，表達的不僅是青年人與上一代人之間，也是青年人彼此之間的語言代溝。
