About the school

Learn to speak fluent Italian in a medieval palace in the middle of the historical center of Bologna. Sounds tempting? It is possible at language school Cultura Italiana, this school is located in the castle Palazzo Pepoli. Obviously, the historical details are also reflected in the cozy interior of the school, which feels homely: beautiful wooden school benches, lots of art, cheerful yellow walls and even a piano.Only 100 meters walking from the two most famous towers of Bologna: the Due Torri. Special about this school is that the teachers do their very best to encourage the students to surround themselves as much as possible with local Italians. After class, a lot of activities are organized: from city walks and history and art trips to culinary tours through a parmesan cheese factory or authentic vineyard. Students can also visit fashion fabrics or mechanical factories (Ducati, Maserati, Lamborghini, Ferrari). Cultura Italiana (1980) is the first school recognized by the Italian state as an "Italian language school for foreigners" and the lessons are of high quality.

Bologna

Bologna. The city where spaghetti bolognese thanks its name to, but where you will find not one restaurant with this world famous pasta on the menu. Why not? Purists from Bologna have a small aversion to the spaghetti bolognese which is inspired by their tagliatelle al ragu (without spaghetti, garlic and tomato) - which you will find everywhere on the menu. No surprise that food in Bologna is seen as a very serious matter. The Northern Italian city is often called the culinary capital of the country . Without doubt, you will find the best restaurants here. Besides this the city has two faces. On the one hand it is a hard-working high-tech city with chic neighborhoods, royal theaters and medieval gates, columns and buildings everywhere you look. On the other hand, you will find an edgy edge thanks to the many students from Bologna's university (the oldest in the world) who decorated Gothic squares with graffiti.

When you do a language course in Bologna a visit to one of the many famous Gothic cathedrals must be on your to do list. And do not forget to visit Quadrilatero. This compact district is a great place for strolling past market stalls and lively cafes with an abundance of gourmet delicacies.

We took a one week intensive course with very little prior Italian knowledge. The classes are all in Italian but the teachers are great at conveying the grammar and lessons to beginners. The teachers are also very engaged and welcoming. The school offers just enough extra activities, both free and at a reasonable extra cost. Wished we had stayed longer! We definitely recommend staying with a homestay family!

It is a very open and welcoming atmosphere in the school, the teachers are engaged and the lessons are on your level, even if you never learned Italian before.
In three weeks here I have learned more than I did a year at home. I’m definitely coming back to learn more!
