Verona is one of the most beautiful and fascinating cities in
Italy, a city of contrasts and historical puzzles. It is indeed
a modern city of commerce, and yet the splendor of its historical
monuments and romantic atmosphere are what have enchanted travellers
from all over the world. They come to experience the cultural
offerings, the great variety of fine art, music, and the artistic
performances. After walking the streets so rich in layered history,
against a backdrop of natural and architectural beauty, they return
again and again. The Roman ruins, the many great churches, palaces,
and ancient fortifications are a testament to the city's prominence
throughout long centuries of European history. Verona's own inhabitants,
the Veronesi, are equally charmed by their city, its cuisine,
the fine wines and the year-long calendar of festivals and events
of every sort, all of which constitute a modern Italian culture
which is vibrantly alive.

Italian Course in Verona: The School
Verona is an ideal city to learn about Italian language and culture,
and the school is located in historic Verona's ancient center,
footsteps away from such landmarks as the 2nd century Roman amphitheater,
L'Arena, and the the 14th century Scaligeri Castle. The courses
are taught at all levels by native Italian speakers, university
graduates who are specially qualified to teach Italian language
and culture. Methods utilise the "full immersion" procedure,
which encourage our students' active and committed participation
in the language programme. Courses begin every four weeks all
year long and generally last four weeks, but consecutive participation
in more than one course is possible and encouraged. We also offer
courses for 2 or 3 weeks, these courses begin the same day as
4-week course. Classes have a maximum of 12 students.
