In biblioteca in italiano - March 2026 Meet-up

The Italian Cultural Institute of Washington invites you to explore a curated selection of books for young readers and to take part in our monthly series of gatherings “In biblioteca in italiano.”

Kids between 4 and 10 are warmly invited to join us and Fiorenza Castelli for a fun journey through wonderful stories in Italian and about Italian culture – open to readers of every language!

During each encounter, we engage with excerpts from books on a specific theme. To enhance our storytelling experience, we incorporate hands-on activities.

For our March meet-up we will read “Un barattolo di emozioni” by author Deborah Marcero, published by Terre di Mezzo Editore in 2022.

Luis fears the dark, gets angry over a lost game, is jealous of his friend Max, and always feels turned upside down! To fix things, he starts sealing his emotions in jars and hiding them in a closet — until, jar by jar, he runs out of space…

Registration is required. Start time is 4:30 pm.

NOTE: Registration to this event implies acceptance of the Participation Agreement available for .
