Bb, there have been Italian speakers at the German Tolkien Seminar, most notably a Franciscan monk, Father William* Spirito. And I remember that Tolkien and his daughter Priscilla were in Italy for a holiday, including experiencing an operatic performance. I'll try to get some information for you.

Wish I could be there as well, but I'll be going the opposite direction for a Tolkien experience that weekend - a Tolkien Ensemble concert in Copenhagen!

*A cookie for anyone who has the same nonsensical association that occurred to me when I first heard the English version of his name.
