    Another important part of the activities of this project are the performances of theatre play or sketches with a Roman topic. In this case the Italian students represented some sketches from "Julius Caesar" by Shakespeare and the Spanish students a rehearsal of the play they are preparing about  "Miles gloriosus" by Plautus.

    We also celebrated cultural contests in both cities with the students of IIS Via delle sette Chiese and IES Punta del Verde with questions about the historical places they had visited.
