Intensive course

“Living Rome like the Romans”

This linguistic journey is a combination of language studies and the discovery of everyday life in Rome, with Italian lessons in the morning and “exploration” in the afternoon.

The programmes are always different, in line with the participants’ interests, and, in particular, following the calendar of current cultural events in and around Rome.

For example, schedule the visit of a market or a museum in the morning instead of the afternoon, or spend more time with your teacher in the classroom, depending on your preferences and priorities.

Strolling through Trastevere
Discover the backstreets leading to the heart of Rome: Trastevere. In this neighbourhood you can feel the true Roman soul, where ancient preofessions and trades were located, and the names of the streets still recall. Our discovery of Trastevere starts at the renowned Santa Cecilia church, following little side streets on to Piazza in Piscinula, a square where the secrets of an ancient somewhat tumultous Roman family are hidden, legends say.

The Piazzas of Rome
Anecdotes and stories of the famous Roman Piazzas. Every piazza in Rome mirrors the typical everyday life, recalls ancient stories, evokes historic events and memories. We start from one of the smaller, hidden "piazzette" in the center of Rome, such as Piazza Mattei, all the way the most well known ones like Piazza della Rotonda.
