Passion and competence like distinguishing features.
We are passionate about travelling, having frequent cultural exchanges and knowing deeper and deeper our culture.
We are competent because some of us have worked for years with enthusiasm in the tourism industry and others have specialized in teaching Italian as foreign language and have got excellent results in this field.
These skills allow us to emphasize the importance of learning a new language through a perfect mix of classes and cultural, relaxing activities.
The wish to promote and spread Italian language, culture and lifestyle all over the world gave us the necessary energy to make real this project.
