Cultural Tip
In Italian, starting a question with “Chi” is perfectly natural. For extra emphasis you can say “Chi è che organizza…”. In very formal contexts Italians often prefer the noun form “l'organizzatore”. Remember that “evento” is masculine, so any adjective (e.g., “grande”) must agree: “questo grande evento”.
