Italian party: virtual travel scenario. Italian party: the art of living in pleasure Italian cuisine day and hall decoration

“Italy is a land of dreams with golden fruits,” wrote the Frenchman Emile Zola. The German poet Goethe said that “whoever has seen Italy, and especially Rome, will never be unhappy.” Italy can charm anyone! This is a country of sun, sea, delicious food and love. Its color will make the holiday unforgettable. The Italian theme will be relevant both for a New Year's corporate event and for a narrow party in honor of the anniversary. This is an opportunity to eat a hearty meal, drink excellent Italian wine, feel nostalgic while listening to old Italian music, and leave this event in your memory for a long time.

If this topic is close and interesting to you and you want to organize a holiday in Italian style, our script may be useful to you. The program is built in the form of a virtual trip to Italy. Guests are invited to visit iconic places and have a good time at the same time. The structure of the script allows you to easily rework it, removing some components and introducing others. With slight adjustments, the script can be used to prepare a teenage party.

Party in Italian style: decor

The room can be decorated in the colors of the Italian flag: green, white and red. Multi-colored ribbons and balls will make the venue not only “thematic”, but also bright. The colors of the Italian tricolor can also be repeated in table textiles (for example, a tablecloth of one color and napkins of two others).

A playful festive atmosphere will be created by garlands of triangular tricolor flags. Mini Italian flags placed in vases will decorate the table.

The best decoration for a feast would be... food. For many, Italy evokes pleasant gastronomic associations. So, you can put transparent vases with a variety of pasta on the tables, including colored ones. Tomatoes, pizza, oranges and olives will delight you with taste and create the right ambiance.

You can hang enlarged images of Italian boots on the walls in different colors and sizes. Posters with views of Venice or reproductions of paintings by Leonardo da Vinci would also be appropriate.

Italian style party scenario: virtual journey

1. Obtaining a visa

The host asks the guests if they want to go to Italy and spend a holiday there, traveling to the most interesting places in this wonderful country. The guests, of course, agree.

To go on a virtual tour, you must obtain a visa. It will be issued only to those who pass the Italian knowledge test. The presenter suggests starting testing immediately.

The visa test is conducted in the form of a quiz. It would be better if it was a picture quiz - this format is simpler and more interesting. If it is possible to prepare sheets with picture assignments printed from the Internet, you should give preference to this. If this is not possible, an oral quiz is held.

Quiz test in pictures. The sheet (preferably large format) depicts three objects. Only one of them is related to Italy. The pictures are numbered. It is worth using at least 8 task sheets.

Guests can be divided into 2 teams. The leader shows the team a sheet and asks them to name the number of the picture with the correct answer. There is only one chance to answer correctly. For a correct answer - 1 point. If the team remembers the name of the person depicted or the name of the object, they are awarded an extra point.

Examples of tasks

1. Which one of them is Italian? The sheet shows Monica Bellucci, Penelope Cruz and Sophie Marceau. Correct answer: Monica Bellucci.

2. Which of these architectural monuments is located in Italy? The sheet shows Gaudi's Sagrada Familia, Leaning Tower of Pisa and Acropolis of Athens. Correct answer: Leaning Tower of Pisa.

3. Which one is an Italian fashion designer? The sheet shows Calvin Klein, Domenico Dolce, Christian Lacroix. Correct answer: Dolce Domenico.

4. Which of these cars is the fruit of the Italian automobile industry? The sheet shows Ferrari, sports BMW, Nissan. The emblems are worn out. Correct answer: Ferrari.

5. Which of these emblems is the coat of arms of Italy? The sheet shows coats of arms of Italy and two other European states. The inscriptions, if any, have been erased.

6. Which of them are of Italian origin? The sheet shows football player Francesco Totti, Pope Benedict XVI, actress Claudia Cardinale. Correct answer: Totti.

7. Which symbol is the emblem of the Italian football club? The sheet shows crests of the clubs Barcelona, ​​Milan and Real Madrid. Correct answer: "Milan".

8. Which shot is from an Italian film? The sheet depicts stills from three films, only one of which is Italian. For example, "The Godfather", "Life is Beautiful", Oscar (1991). Correct answer: "Life is Beautiful".

When preparing assignments, you can use images of various monuments and local landscapes. Musicians, paintings and even words can all be included in a picture quiz.

The quiz is the first stage of a test of knowledge of Italy. Second phase - language test. The presenter reads Italian proverbs to the teams (first in the original language, then in translation) and offers to quickly choose a Russian (or familiar to us) analogue. The more analogues the participants remember, the more points they will receive (for each analogue - 1 point).

• "Chi ha la lingua va in Sardegna". He who has a tongue will reach Sardinia (the tongue will reach Kyiv).
• "Prendere due piccioni con una fava". Get two pigeons from one bean (kill two birds with one stone).
• "La gallina vecchia fa buon brood". An old chicken makes a good broth (an old horse does not spoil the furrow).
• "Meglio essere il primo in provincia che il secondo a Roma". It is better to be first in the province than second in Rome (it is better to be a big fish in a pond than a small fish in the ocean).
• “Cacio è sano; se vien di scarsa mano". Cheese is good if you take a little (everything is good in moderation).
• "Lupo non mangia lupo". Wolves don't eat wolves (a raven won't peck out a crow's eye).
• “È meglio un uovo oggi di una gallina domani”. Better an egg today than a chicken tomorrow (better a bird in the hand than a pie in the sky).
• "Chi dorme non piglia pesci". He who slept did not catch a fish (he who gets up early, God gives him; you can’t even pull a fish out of the pond without difficulty).

At the end of the test, the total number of points is calculated. The team members who give the most correct answers at the end of two stages can be awarded small prizes with the symbols of Italy.

The presenter reports that everyone passed the test without exception. Visas have been received, which means it’s time to prepare for a virtual trip to Italy. Naturally, the presenter will be the guide and translator. Italian music comes on.

2. Arrival in Italy

So, here it is - Italy. A beep is heard from the speakers, after which “Italian” speech is heard (the presenter’s assistant is with a microphone “behind the scenes”). If this is difficult to organize, the “Italian” may appear in the hall in person.

After each line “in Italian” the presenter gives a Russian translation.

Rousseau is a tourist, he looks drunk!
- Dear guests from Russia!

Russo dengiano Italy expected!

Promised to be full and drunk.

Even if a trip to this hospitable country is not yet in the cards, immersing yourself in the cozy atmosphere of this sunny paradise is as easy as shelling pears. Look for the right one and...follow our recommendations and your Italian-style Party will go off with a bang!

Party in Italian style: Venue decoration

As a basis for the color scheme, you can choose the tricolor of Italy: green, white and red shades. But don’t overdo it with red so that the decor doesn’t look aggressive. A few bright accents are enough: tablecloths, pillows, flowers. An excellent solution would be to use paintings with images of the country. Vineyards, picturesque beaches, mountain ranges and, of course, the sea: the landscapes will be amazing. If you don’t want to be completely immersed in rural romance, you can opt for famous attractions and artists. The presence of plant elements in the interior is mandatory. Olive branches, ears of cereal, ivy and vines: here you can give free rein to your imagination. An excellent solution would be to use orange trees in tubs. As an additional decorative element, you can make bouquets of pasta and spices, and place baskets of vegetables around the room. It is ideal if the interior uses wooden furniture, good quality and homely, simple. Rattan tables and chairs would also be appropriate. Soft cotton and chintz pillows don't hurt.

Party in Italian style: Dress code

An Italian-style costume party is more appropriate for narrow themes. For example, “Venice Carnival”, “Sicilian Mafia”, “Ancient Rome”. But you can also choose a neutral option as a basis - the tricolor of Italy. White top, green bottom and red will remind you of the colors of the flag and create the appropriate atmosphere. If the decor is based on a rustic theme, opt for simple and uncomplicated clothing. Summer dresses and linen shirts, cotton skirts and trousers will be very appropriate. An alternative option is ladies in cocktail dresses, men in classic suits. After all, Italy is a famous trendsetter, and it would be a sin not to take advantage of this. This outfit will be appropriate both in honor of graduation and on the occasion of a birthday.

Italian style party: Menu

Gourmets will be satisfied, because Italian cuisine is a real gastronomic feast. There should definitely be fish, seafood, poultry, and beef on your table. Don't forget to season your salads with aromatic dressings of olive oil, garlic, basil, and lemon. And, of course, you can’t do without cheese slices, grain buns and wine! An Italian party wouldn't be complete without traditional thin-crust pizza, lasagna and risotto. And for dessert, order classic sweets - tiramisu, panna cotta, savoiardi liver. Amazingly delicious!

Entertainment

For background music, give preference to the immortal hits of Celentano, Cutugno, Ramazzotti, Pavarotti. Their voices are familiar to everyone. If it is possible to connect a karaoke system, the party will be even more vibrant. And if you choose a spacious one, you can arrange an incendiary disco. As a competition, you can offer guests a tasting. Divide guests into teams, blindfold them and award points for each correctly named ingredient. The first round - we taste pizza, the second - pasta, the third, the most difficult - wine. Football would fit perfectly into the theme of an Italian party, because Italian football players are some of the best in the world. It is not at all necessary to go out into the field. It will be enough to install a mini-football table and arrange a gambling competition. As a final touch, you can present guests with memorable souvenirs: a photo album with the sights of Italy, wine sets, classic desserts. An Italian-style party will give you a lot of pleasure and leave a pleasant aftertaste for many years.

Football stadium, good to have after a meal. The host invites guests to visit the famous Italian football stadium. Men can even try on football players' equipment. A couple of main participants are invited. To conduct the competition, 2-3 sets of ammunition are required. The kit includes, for example, shorts that must be large in size, football socks, a knee pad, and a wristband. The kits are almost identical in content. Each one is in a separate package. Participants receive packages and, at the presenter’s whistle, try to put on their contents as quickly as possible. Whoever is first is the winner. It's funny to watch how men cope with leg warmers without taking off their trousers and socks.

Sicily. The presenter offers to sunbathe a little, you need to call everyone to the dance floor and conduct the dance game “Tanning”, which can be more classified as “for adults” if there are daredevils in the company. Guests stand in a circle and dance to the most rhythmic music, as if they were sunbathing under the sun. Next, the leader voices the actions, and all the dancers perform them. If a participant refuses to perform an action, he leaves the circle. In the end, only the bravest and most uninhibited remain. For example: when the presenter says “expose your elbows to the sun,” you need to raise your sleeves above your elbows. The presenter's commands should not follow quickly one after another: let the guests have time to dance and have fun. Note: If the presenter says to bare your knees, women do not have to remove their tights. It is enough to lift the skirt a little. Suitable commands of the presenter: - We substitute our palms for the sun! - Let's expose the sun's neck! - Let's give our elbows to the sun! - We give the sun our knees! - We offer our shoulders to the sun! - We expose our hips to the sun! - Let's turn the sun's heels! - Let's expose our tummies to the sun! - We expose our back to the sun! Those who survive until the very end can be awarded prizes: for example, Italian tanning cosmetics.

After this fun game, the hosts are informed that one of the guests has been kidnapped by Sicilian gangster mafiosi. The gangsters are ready to return the person dear to everyone, but only if one of the guests can win at cards from a representative of the mafia. It's no secret that all gangsters are also cheaters. This means that the guests will also have to cheat. Several people are invited. The presenter puts a hat on one of them - he portrays a sharpie from the mafia clan. Each person is given a deck of cards. You need to hide the cards on yourself as quickly as possible, but under no circumstances put the entire deck in one place. It is necessary to put the cards in different pockets, in socks, in the bosom, under cuffs, etc. The one who does it first is not the winner at all. The winner will be the one who can find the right card faster than others - for example, the queen of spades. Participants will have to take out all the cards again in search of the one they need. The first one to hand the required card to the presenter wins. If the cheater wins, the guests must collect a small ransom to get the kidnapped person back. If the guest wins, the victim is returned without ransom.

Pizzeria, it's time to try some pizza. But first, guests can take an active part in its preparation. This moment takes place in the form of a group competition in which couples (not necessarily m+f) participate. You will need circles made of very thick cardboard or plastic. You can take flat disposable plates of large diameter. These will be fake circles of dough. The presenter says: “When chefs prepare pizza, they roll out the dough into thin layers and skillfully toss them, and then just as skillfully catch them. Now you will do this too.” Players stand in two lines facing each other at a distance of about a meter. Each participant from one line receives a “test” circle. On command, they throw the “dough” to their partners, who stand exactly opposite. The partners catch the “dough”, after which they take one step back. The distance, accordingly, begins to increase. Now this line throws the “dough” to its partners, they must, having caught it, take a step back. If someone misses the "dough", the couple is eliminated. Each time the distance becomes greater, and the pairs become less and less. The game is played until the last couple, who can be awarded prizes - packs of Italian flour. After the game, guests can be served real flavorful pizza.

Additional entertainment for a fun Italian party can be:
- Guess the song, the presenters read out lines from Russian songs, but translated into Italian. Guests must guess the song. Examples: Oh, the olive tree is ripening by the Bay of Naples (oh, the viburnum is blooming in the field by the stream). Oh Mama Mia, what a sir! (oh my god, what a man!). And I am sailing, moving around Venice (and I am walking, walking around Moscow). We baked a pizza - this diameter, this fluffy! (we baked a loaf this high, this wide). Signorina Giuseppina from the suburbs of Rome (Praskovya's girl from the Moscow region). The gondola will set sail, the pier will remain (the trailer will move, the platform will remain). If we had a Cinzano river, I would become a beautiful carp (if there was a sea of ​​beer, I would become a beautiful dolphin). Gondola, wait! Oar, don't knock! Gondolier, let's slow down! (wait, locomotive, don’t knock the wheels. Conductor, apply the brakes). Peppino, Peppino, let's go dig cipollino (Antoshka, Antoshka, let's go dig potatoes).

Impromptu sketch "Pizza", an adaptation of the fairy tale "Turnip", which has long become the basis for various impromptu sketches. The pizza option is also great for an Italian party. Main characters and lines: Pizza instead of Turnip: “I will avenge the blood of the killed tomatoes!” (in a revolutionary tone). Grandfather Carlito: "Damn it!" (plaintively, unhappy tone). Signora Giretta: “Yes, I have pasta on the stove!” (grumpily). Signorina Kaprizina: “I want shopping in Milan” (capriciously). Macho: "Yes, I'm a macho!" (proudly). Chef: “Tsk-tsk-tsk, diletanto” (arrogantly, with an accent, tsking.

They select actors and give them lines. The presenter reads the text, strictly in accordance with which the heroes act. Whenever his name is mentioned, the hero must pronounce his line each time, accompanying it with a characteristic gesture. The text might be something like this:
- Grandfather Carlito put Pizza in the oven. The pizza was baked very big. Grandfather Carlito began to pull Pizza out of the oven, but it got stuck. He pulls and pulls, pulls and pulls, but he can’t pull it out. Grandfather Carlito called his wife Signora Giretta. Signora Giretta hugged Grandfather Carlito tightly. No, I didn’t hug you from the front, but from behind! Grandfather Carlito grabbed the pizza. They pull and pull, but they can’t pull it out. Signora Giretta called her granddaughter Signorina Kaprizina. She reluctantly entered and stood up like an idol. He stands there, picking his nose. Signora Giretta grabbed Grandfather Carlito, Grandfather Carlito grabbed Pizza. They pull and pull, but they can’t pull it out. But Signorina Caprisina doesn’t care at all - she doesn’t eat pizza because she’s watching her figure. Look at the figure of our Signorina Caprisina! Bravissimo! I felt sorry for my grandparents and called Signorina Kaprizina Macho. The macho man gently hugged Signora Giretta, approaching her from behind. Signora Giretta grabbed Grandfather Carlito, Grandfather Carlito grabbed Pizza. They pulled and pulled... They didn’t pull, but Signora Girette liked it. Called Macho Chef. The chef grabbed Macho, Macho grabbed Signora Giretta, Signora Giretta grabbed Grandfather Carlito, Grandfather Carlito grabbed Pizza. Signorina Kaprizina also decided to participate and grabbed the Chef’s pockets. They pull and pull, but they can’t pull it out. The Chef walked up to the oven, smelled the Pizza, shook it slightly and stroked it gently. He took the tongs and carefully pulled it out. They arranged a feast for the whole village, and nine months later, little Macho was born to Signorina Kaprizina. And what does the Chef have to do with it?
