CENTRO STUDI ITALIANI, the Italian language school in Urbania

The first school of Italian language and culture for international students between Tuscany and the Adriatic coast

Welcome to the Centro Studi
Italiani, the first school of Italian
language and culture for
international students in the
Marche, founded by Carlo_
Amedeo_Pasotto
in 1986. Since
then students from over 120
countries throughout the world have
attended the school.
Urbania is a charming town, rich in
art and history
, friendly and safe,
where everyone speaks Italian and
it is easy to make friends with the
locals and practise the language
;
an alternative to big towns that are
invaded by mass tourism.
Furthermore the territory, between
Tuscany and the Adriatic sea, is
one of the most beautiful and best
preserved in Italy: mountains, sea,
hills, and near to the famous art
cities of Central Italy
.
Our courses in Italian language and
culture are unique in their kind. Our
standard intensive course is 25
hours per week (and not 20, which
is normally considered intensive),
with a rich and varied programme
including conversation and
cultural subjects (included in
course fees)
. We also offer a varied
programme of special courses,
including arts and handicrafts and
traditional Italian cooking
.
