On Tuesday, April 21, 2009, 110 high school students participated in the third Italian Day event, "Forza con l'italiano" held at the UW-Madison campus. This fun event takes place every two years among the high schools that offer Italian as part of their curriculum. Students from Bradford High School, St. Joseph's High School, Tremper High School, (all from Kenosha) and Trinity Academy from Pewaukee came to test their proficiency and show off their ability in four language and culture categories: 1) poster contest; 2) spelling contest; 3) poetry reading contest; and 4) skit contest. The UW-Madison Department of French and Italian faculty, graduate students and other guests provided the judging. This event was co-sponsored by the Center for European Studies at UW-Madison, the Italian Workmen's Club of Madison (IWC), WisItalia and the Italian-American Women's Club of Madison (IAWC).
