What we’re about
This group is perfect for Italians and anyone learning Italian or wanting to practice the language in a conversational setting.
Welcome to "Italian Outside of the Box"!
Ciao a tutti! I'm Daniela, an Italian teacher and founder of danitalian.com.
I’ve always believed that language and culture are best learned through real, creative experiences. That’s why I created this group for anyone passionate about Italy, whether you're learning the language, love Italian films, or want to explore Italian literature and art in fresh, exciting ways.
In Italian Outside of the Box, we’ll go beyond traditional learning methods and dive into the richness of Italian culture. Join us for:
- Italian Cinema Club: Watch and discuss iconic and contemporary Italian films.
- Italian Book Club: Explore novels, poetry, graphic novels, and short stories from Italian authors.
- Creative Expression Club: Engage in creative projects—whether it's writing, drawing, or other artistic expressions.
Whether you’re a beginner in Italian or fluent, this group is for everyone who wants to connect with Italy’s language and culture in a vibrant, supportive community.
Benvenuti! Let's experience the Italian language together—outside the box!

- Caro Diario - Online movie discussion in ItalianLink visible for attendees
Ciao amici cinefili,
The poll results are clear: our next cinematic journey will take us through the streets of Rome, on Nanni Moretti's Vespa in "Caro Diario" 🛵✨
(If you want to participate in selecting the next film, you can join our Telegram group here 👉 https://t.me/+n8mepeKtPjs4YmU0)We invite you to join us for an evening of chats, reflections, and curiosities.
We don’t watch the movie together; instead, everyone watches it on their own schedule.
