As part of an ongoing mission to strengthen the offerings of Mount Holyoke College’s Italian department, the College recently hosted two education directors from nearby Italian consulates. Ivana Marroncelli, education office director at the Consulate General of Italy in Boston, and Patrizia Calanchini Monti, education office director at the Consulate General of Italy in Philadelphia, visited Mount Holyoke’s campus on Nov. 20 to participate in the Five College Pedagogy Symposium in the Ciruti Language Center, as well as familiarize themselves with the College’s current Italian program and its historical ties to Italian history.
