Cultural Courses
Would you like to deepen your knowledge of literature, art history or music? On this page you will find our range of culture courses, which changes every year.
It is not necessary to prove that you have an advanced level of Italian to attend the courses, but at least a basic/intermediate level is recommended.
All courses use written presentations to facilitate comprehension, which are sent to participants at the end of the course.
All culture courses are also accessible with CARTA PREZZEMOLO.

The session will include a PowerPoint presentation, video footage, short film clips and supplementary readings.
