PAREIDOLIA by Kiko Gianocca

16TH ITALIAN LANGUAGE WEEK IN THE WORLD

The Week of the Italian Language in the World promotes Italian as a great language of classical and contemporary culture. Every year the diplomatic and cultural network of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation chooses a theme for this initiative and organizes a series of events in the third week of October. In 2016, under the High Patronage of the President of the Republic of Italy, for the XVI edition of the Week of the Italian Language in the World – October 18 through October 24 – the chosen theme is “L’Italiano e la creatività: marchi e costumi, moda e design”.

As part of these series of events, the Embassy of Italy and the Italian Cultural Institute in Washington DC, in collaboration with the Embassy of Switzerland, invite you to a special presentation and workshop by artist Kiko Gianocca, who will introduce you to some of the techniques and materials he uses to create his unique jewelry.
