Learn Italy, not just Italian
We offer all levels of Italian language courses, Italian opera programs, Italian culture courses and cultural tours of Italy. With us, you will not only learn how to speak, read and understand the Italian language but you will experience the true Italian culture.
Our classes are intentionally small to allow students to best relate to each other while enjoying personalized and individual attention from teachers.
Our headquarters is based in Urbania (Marche Region), a typical Italian town located in the centre of Italy, where you can experience the genuine Italian dolce vita and sample the warmth of Italian hospitality in an authentic and unforgettable environment.
Since 2011 we run courses in Milan where you can have the opportunity to experience contemporary urban lifestyle in a dynamic and vibrant city.
Since 2018 we offer our courses also in Genoa, where you can enjoy both the culture of an historical maritime capital and the slow pace of a relaxing and sunny holiday on the Ligurian Riviera.
The school was founded by Mr. Carlo Amedeo Pasotto in 1985 and since then we have hosted more than 16,000 students, of all ages, from all over the world. Now the school is run by the second generation of the Pasotto family, a strong and cohesive team that has brought the company to a new exciting era.
Our school is an education center accredited by the Marche Region D.G.R. N° 62 of 17/01/2001 and D.G.R. N° 2164 of 18/09/2001.
We are also a test center of CELI certifications by Università per Stranieri of Perugia, CILS certifications by Università per Stranieri of Siena, and CEDILS certifications for Italian teachers by Università Ca’ Foscari of Venice.

People
We strongly believe that great teachers make a great school.
For this reason, we carefully select our teachers considering their education, their personal and innate aptitude and their teaching experience.
Our teachers are highly qualified and they regularly take refresher courses, specific for teaching the Italian language, which allow them to keep their selves updated with the latest teaching methods and technologies.
The key to the success of our teachers is to put the student – each individual student, with his own particular needs and potentials – at the center of our attention.
We Are Family
Centro Studi Italiani is run by a family and we consider each student and each teacher to be a part of it!
Italians can always count on the support of a big, warm and welcoming family. In our schools, you will experience the same warmth, while learning in a familiar environment, where everyone is special.
Our teaching method puts each student at the center of the education experience, that takes place not only inside the classroom but also outside. For this reason, we always offer cultural experiences, excursions, workshops and cultural trips in order to broaden your learning experience and make you feel at home.
