This morning, in the presence of Karen Terracciano, the wife of the ambassador, scholarships were awarded for the 2017-18 academic year to nine students who had won a competition run by the Italian cultural association Il Circolo. These scholarships, totalling £10,500, will help these students achieve their academic, professional and artistic ambitions.
Il Circolo, established in 1994, is a registered UK charity with headquarters in London. Its purpose is to promote Italian culture and research in the UK and to create a network of people who share an interest in and a love for Italy.
The association has also recently held fundraising events to contribute to two scholarships for the Italy Made Me competition, which will be awarded on 30 June 2017 at King’s College London.
