"GREEN TONGUE" ADOPTED BY UNIVERSITY OF TURIN
The Official Gazette of the Italian Republic has published a number of
"modifications to the Statute of the University of Turin" with regard to
the new "Curriculum for the Foreign Languages and Literature Degree" that
introduces, for the first time in an Italian university, the teaching of
the international language Esperanto under the heading: "Interlinguistics
and Esperantology."
The curriculum will be included in the next academic year and lectures will
be held by Prof. Fabrizio Pennacchietti, Esperantist and full Professor of
Semitic Philology, who has made use of the faculty to arrogate to himself
the right to teach, gratis, without having to wait to participate in a
competitive examination for the chair.And so Italy joins the short list of
countries (Hungary, Lithuania, Estonia) that have already provided for
courses in Esperanto.The Radical association "Esperanto" will immediately
launch a strong information campaign to awaken university students, in
order that as many of them as possible might enrol for the Esperanto
course.
