Caro Lettore,

Welcome to this weekend's edition of your About.com Italian Language Newsletter! The Società Dante Alighieri is conducting an online survey asking: "Secondo Lei quanto viene promossa e tutelata la lingua italiana nel mondo?"

In the About.com Italian Language forums a community member wants to know how to refer to outsiders, and a discussion about the suffix -issimo. Plus the sixth canto of Paradiso in Dante's The Divine Comedy in both Italian and English, in which Emperor Giustiniano recounts the history of the Roman Empire. Lastly, there are Italian abbreviations and acronyms beginning with the letter Z.
