Othoca di Oristano is participating in the 14th edition of the Italian Championships, this year dedicated to Giovanni Boccaccio, 650 years after his death.

"We are the only school in Oristano that participates in the competition - explains the school principal Franco Frongia - proving that in our Institute, although technical-scientific in nature, humanistic education is also valued".

The competition will be structured in three phases: Institute competition, regional competition and national competition. It starts tomorrow, Monday 3 February, with the Junior category (two-year period), while the three-year classes will compete on Thursday 6 February. The event is held in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the Giovanni Boccaccio National Institute, the Italianist Offices and the Campiello Giovani Prize.
