Italy’s culture, politics, and society are extraordinarily diverse and deeply rooted in history. Through our courses, students gain a deeper understanding of Italy’s major contributions to art, literature, and political thought. Lessons focus on specific cultural topics, helping you explore how these art forms and historical movements have shaped Italian society over the centuries.
History of Art: The History of Art course covers major periods and movements, from Byzantine Art to Neoclassicism. Topics include the High Renaissance (Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael), Venetian Art from Bellini to Canaletto, 15th-century Florence, and Rome from Ancient Times to the 18th Century.
Italian Literature: Our Italian Literature program introduces students to key authors and texts, with guided reading materials. Topics include Dante’s Inferno, the birth of Italian poetry, Petrarch’s Canzoniere, Manzoni’s I Promessi Sposi, Romantic poetry (Foscolo and Leopardi), the 20th-century novel, and Sicilian writers of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Awesome School!
È una delle scuole di eccellenza presenti nel panorama italiano. In qualità di Consulente Universitario posso affermare che i responsabili della suddetta Scuola sono tra le persone più Serie, Affidabili e Preparate che io conosca! Il medesimo giudizio l’hanno espresso tutti i miei studenti che hanno frequentato corsi di italiano per stranieri presso la summenzionata Scuola.
Ho accompagnato personalmente in questa scuola due amici americani durante il loro soggiorno a Roma . Hanno frequentato un corso di gruppo di due settimane ed il prox anno hanno già deciso di riprendere le lezioni. Nel frattempo stanno usufruendo del corso online via Skype e sono iper-entusiasti! Penso proprio che consiglierò la scuola ad altri amici anche perché, in effetti, l’italiano di Jim e Lauren è decisamente migliorato 😛
Highly qualified teachers, excellent location, numerous activities after school. I’ve stayed 2 months and loved it!
Profesionales, simpáticos, acogedores y abiertos a individualizar lo que necesites! Me encanta
Best experience ever. Got in touch with the school, got immediate advice on what to do and which course to book. Very prompt and professional. Arriving in Rome, I had a swift test to determine my level and then started my 2 week course to brush up my Italian. All very well organised, high standard of teaching. But because they are smaller, it is all very “boutique” and friendly and almost like you’re in a big family. Admin great, teachers great, atmosphere great. Can only recommend this school. 5 out of 5. Definitely.
