Cartolina, our Italian programme presented by Wilma Layrn and Denis Walker, will feature interviews about what's Italian at the Christchurch Art Gallery and Canterbury Museum on Wednesday June 24 at 10:30am, repeating on Monday June 29 at 7:30pm
A Belch on Sport will be looking at the Italian test coming up this weekend at AMI Stadium, who's in, who's out and who is likely to win. Friday June 27 at midday.
Businesses in the city will also be draping themselves in black on Friday June 26 to honour the hosting of the All Blacks in Christchurch for the only time this year.
So join in the week of festivities on Plains FM 96.9.
