Global | Bologna | San Domenico

International meetings

Languages: English, Italian

In 2026, we are celebrating our linguistic heritage in the historic setting of San Domenico, surrounded by manuscripts dating from the 15th century. This year, we are placing particular focus on the linguistic diversity of Italy, and on Bolognese in particular.

The Polyglot Conference is an opportunity for everyone who loves languages to come together and exchange thoughts, ideas and knowledge.
