An Italian-style gathering where people meet to have intellectual conversation, often combined with music or refreshments.
From Italian 'conversazione' meaning 'conversation,' derived from Latin 'conversari.' The word was borrowed into English during the 19th century when such social events became fashionable among educated European and American circles.
Victorian upper-class Victorians loved hosting 'conversaziones' as fancy evening gatherings—it was basically a historical predecessor to modern intellectual meetups and coffee shop discussions, but with more formality and classical music!
