1. Why study Italian in La Spezia?
Because La Spezia and the surrounding area have much to offer visitors: easy access to the sea, beautiful landscapes, archaeological and historical sites and excellent local food;
because La Spezia has grown remarkably in recent years both in the cultural field (new museums have been opened and the town has been twinned with Bayreuth)and as a tourist resort;
because from La Spezia you can easily travel to art cities such as Genoa, Pisa Lucca, and Florence, and to smaller but very interesting places such as the Cinque Terre, the Carrara marble quarries and the Ligurian hill towns (such as Varese Ligure);
because our Cultural Association, having earned a reputation for itself teaching foreign languages (it has actively promoted German-language studies in Italy for over 30 years), considers teaching Italian to foreigners its "second vocation";
because our Italian courses are held by qualified teachers who make a point of meeting the learning needs of their students.
