Improve your Italian with Fluency & Confidence Coach Elisabetta Maccani! The 60‑minute online session is dedicated to AWAR members who already know some Italian (can handle basic conversations) and want to feel more natural and confident when they speak.

These free sessions focus on real‑life skills that often cause difficulty – for example asking better questions, using pronouns, expressing opinions with the subjunctive, or keeping a conversation going beyond small talk – with clear explanations and practical activities.

Every session is shaped by the needs of the women who join: we start from the situations and difficulties they describe, and work in a very focused way to give them concrete tools to overcome those challenges in Italian.

The event will be held via Zoom so you can join from anywhere. The link to join will be sent via email after you register.

The event will be held the last Thursday of the month beginning September 24.

Write to president@awar.org with any questions.

        “ Life is the best masterpiece. Art is my code to share joy every day and spread light.”
Creating sculpture captures the essence of raw materials. As jewelry, this art takes on new life, moving with the body that wears it.
Giulia Iosco was born in Rome in 1990. She studied at the Academy of Art, Fashion and Costume in Rome.
She started painting as a child. She has worked for international luxury companies as a fashion designer and is currently fashion designer at Valentino Garavani in Rome. At the same time she has participated In collective and international art exhibitions in Italy and abroad.
She is constantly looking for every kind of experimentation and artistic contamination, from painting to sculpture, from artisanal techniques for jewelry to design technologies. She loves creating with every expressive technique.
