Pitti Uomo is one of the most prestigious and eagerly awaited events on the international fashion scene, a true benchmark for men’s fashion. Established in 1972 as a small clothing exhibition, today it is one of the most influential events for designers, buyers, media, and fashion enthusiasts from around the world. Every year, in the heart of Florence, the Fortezza da Basso transforms into a global stage for new trends, emerging talents, and fashion brands presenting their collections.

Florence is revered as home to some of the world’s most important art. Labelled by many as the cradle of the Renaissance, pieces from Botticcelli’s Venus to Michaelangelo’s David attract flocks of tourists on a daily basis. 

Climate change doesn’t discriminate, and if humans don’t take action, it won’t slow down either. In the last few years, Italy has experienced just how damaging the effects of climate change can be, with flash floods decimating the Emilia-Romagna region and nation-wide forest fires wreaking havoc.

Every year since 2001 the third week of October has played host to La Settimana Della Lingua Italiana, celebrated by Italian language learning institutions across the world.
