IACE Students Interview with General Consul of Italy

39 IACE students interviewed On. Antonio Bandini, General Consul of Italy, on December the 5th. The event was held at the Italian Consulate where our little “Giornalisti per un giorno”  (from different  IACE Schools and Centers) asked funny and clever questions to our Consul, who seemed to be very amused and passed the “test” with excellent grades! It has been a great experience for everybody (students, teachers and parents)!
