Parliamo Italiano a Roma

November 16-23, 2013

trinita dei monti

Learning Italian is an indispensable key to understand and appreciate the life and culture of Italy.

For this reason, we would like to take you to a special language school located in the very heart of Rome, a minute’s walk away from the Spanish Steps, close to the Trevi Fountain, the Parliament building and the Pantheon.

There are many cafes near the school where you can have a coffee and a bite to eat, not to mention the opportunity to walk among the shops on Via dei Condotti, or through the enchanting and quiet side-streets that lead to Piazza del Popolo.

From the moment of arrival until the final arrivederci we are with you throughout your Italian language course and stay in Rome.

One Week in Todi, Umbria:

Experience the Italian Culture!

May 12 – 18, 2013

@@@@

Imagine driving two hours from Rome and finding a small medieval town, nestled in the heart of Italy. A town steeped in legend and history, built by Hercules and undefeated by Hannibal. A town where saints and scholars walked the rolling hills, lost in thought.

This is Todi, where everything is within reach, farmers’ markets flourish, and craft making is built on traditions spanning centuries. And yet, between the medieval Duomo and the palazzi, modernity can also find its place. Movie sets emerge from the main piazza, and ancient roman cisterns still remain in use. No other city is as capable of reinventing itself at every turn, and yet retain its own ancient character.

So come experience Todi, the sustainable city.
