Italian Language & Culture Course

“Royal Inspiration”
Italian Language & Literature, organised by the Università per Stranieri di Perugia

The Università per Stranieri di Perugia has extensive experience in teaching Italian language, being the vehicle of the arts, such as painting, literature and music. The course, developed in collaboration with Accademia Amsterdam, lasts five days. It includes 26 hours of educational activities among which 12 hours of study of the Italian language, 8 hours of Italian phonetics and the remaining hours dedicated to Italian literature, carried out by specialized teachers.

Who can attend?
The courses are open to participants of intermediate and advanced level. It is important that course members can express themselves in the Italian language.

Presentation
The musicians of Accademia Amsterdam will treat participants of all courses with an inspiring concert in the beautiful Auditorium Marianum of the Istituto Musicale “G. Frescobaldi”, where the music courses are taking place. Music students present themselves on the last afternoon in the baroque theatre hall of the Università per Stranieri di Perugia. Alternately, language students can recite some highlights of Italian poetry.

Excursion
Some time will be reserved to visit the historical centre of Perugia or its surroudings. For those interested, we organize an excursion to one of the local cultural highlights.

Umbrian kitchen
Of course we do not forget the good life: dinners are being served in the proper Italian way, on the terrace of restaurant Iris, one of the typical Perugian restaurants. All course members and their family, partners or friends can join them. During the final party dinner we will offer you a typical Italian ‘aperitivo’ and the cook serves festive dishes.

Side programme
We offer a varied side programme for all interested people. This involves courses in painting & drawing and traditional cooking.

Where to stay?
Corso-Perugia3 Just in front of the Istituto Musicale “G. Frescobaldi”, in an antique structure, we find hotel hotel Signa, where guest-students can stay conveniently at a reduced price. Participants wishing less luxurious accommodation can stay at a camping site or in ‘ostelli’ in the neighbourhood or in the historic centre of Perugia.
