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

Welcome to this week's edition of your About.com Italian Language Newsletter! Commedia dell'arte, also known as Italian comedy, was a humorous theatrical presentation performed by professional players who traveled in troupes throughout Italy in the 16th century.

In the About.com Italian Language forums members weigh in on the pros and cons of learning two languages at the same time, plus a discussion about the many different common affectionate nicknames used in Italian. There's a lesson on reflexive pronouns (i pronomi riflessivi), and a conjugation table for the verb contravvenire. Plus, listen to an audio phrasebook with vocabulary related to churches (le chiese).
