 | Caro Lettore,
Welcome to this weekend's edition of your About.com Italian Language Newsletter. At any time of year, the Università per Stranieri di Perugia's grandly frescoed halls and state-of-the-art language labs are a crossroads for students from all over the world.
In the About.com Italian Language forums a community member ponders the use of the impersonal si in Italian, and a discussion about the terms cioccolato and cioccolata. Plus the twenty-fifth canto of Purgatorio in Dante's The Divine Comedy in both Italian and English, in which the poet and Virgilio arrive at the Seventh (and last) Terrace. Lastly, there are Italian abbreviations and acronyms beginning with the letter F. | |

In a setting that spans the millennia, 18th-century Palazzo Gallenga Stuart is headquarters of the Università per Stranieri di Perugia, a linguistic crucible where a multiplicity of languages is melded into one.
