From Michael San Filippo, your Guide to Italian
Caro Lettore,

Welcome to this week's edition of your About.com Italian Language Newsletter! "Menichella: An Italian Story" is a theatrical performance staged by the Teatroscalo, recounting key moments in the life of Donato Menichella, governor of Banca d'Italia and one of the main founders and promoters of key public institutions. The event will be held Friday, April 23, at the Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò in New York City.

In the About.com Italian Language forums there's a discussion about the verb aggrovigliarsi, and a community member wonders when to use the term cari saluti. There's a lesson on Italian vowels, and a conjugation table for the verb condolersi. Plus, listen to an audio phrasebook with vocabulary related to domestic animals (gli animali domestici).

Mnemonico Italiano
That's Italian for mnemonic, a memory aid that typically has some association as well to what is being remembered. A community member in the About Italian Language Forums offers an excellent suggestion for forming the imperative in Italian.
