The initiative is organized by the Italian Embassy with the support of the EU Delegation in Yerevan, in the framework of the Heritage Day in Armenia, and other Institutions as far as specific events are concerned: Honorary Consulate in Gyumri and AM-PG Group. A series of appointments, consisting in theatre performances, exhibitions, conferences and film projections, will therefore take place from the 18th to the 24th of October in the perspective to offer to the Armenian public sympathizing with the Italian language a multi-faceted frame of Italian cultural expressions.
