Why Learn Italian

Spoken by 85 million people, Italian is a global language of art, food and love. A daughter of Latin, it is an ideal gateway to other Romance languages.

Its sounds can sweep you into the Tuscan countryside with your ‘amore’, to a trattoria for un piatto di pasta with vino rosso. Listen to its musicality in the operas of Rossini, Puccini, and Verdi.

Italian films have won 14 Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film ... discover Vittorio De Sica and Federico Fellini.

With the 8th largest economy in the world, reach millions of family enterprises from Torino to Roma ... imparare la lingua Italiana!
