Language and Culture

Every year half a million students attend Italian language courses outside of Italy, across the world.

Why do they do it?

Italian is a language of culture. Knowledge of Italian means access to a literary legacy of fundamental importance for the history of Europe, access to an invaluable body of works in the science and humanities, access to Italian theatre, music, opera, cinema and television production.

Italian is a language of study. Scores of foreign students decide every year to enroll in Italian universities and academies, or visit Italian libraries and archives.

Italian is a language of work. Manager, investors, technicians, and other workers get regularly in touch with the Italian world of industry, technology, and services that spread from our country’s boundaries.

By learning to speak Italian, you will not only become aquainted with the country and its people, but with its culture, its history, and la dolce vita.
