This year’s edition of the Week of Italian Language in the World (Settimana della Lingua Italiana nel Mondo 2025) is titled “ITALOPHONIA: LANGUAGE BEYOND BORDERS,” and aims to celebrate the linguistic, cultural, and social space of Italian, imagining a new community of people around the world united by a passion for our language and, through it, by their closeness to our country.
In the framework of SLIM 2025 the Italian Embassy Cultural Centre is pleased to invite you to a panel discussion with author & translator Clara Nubile and Italian Embassy Cultural Centre Director Andrea Anastasio which will explore how Italian words have become part of the everyday language used in India.
Clara Nubile is an Italian writer, translator, and scholar from Brindisi. A graduate in Translation from the University of Bologna, she has built her life and work between Italy, India, and Belgium. Her work often explores themes of identity, migration, and belonging, blending poetic language with vivid, transnational perspectives.
Nubile is the author of several acclaimed books, including Io ti attacco nel sangue (2005), Lupo (2007), Tu come tutto quello che tocchi (2012, Bompiani), Squame (2014), Le febbri (2017, Besa Muci), and Trascuranze (2022, Besa Muci). She has also published the critical study The Danger of Gender: Caste, Class and Gender in Contemporary Indian Women’s Writing (Sarup & Sons, 2003).
Her writing has been widely reviewed in Italian literary circles for its powerful imagery and cross-cultural depth.
