“Italian Culture and Language Ambassador” Program

Do you love the sound of “La bella Lingua” but you don’t know where to learn it?

Are you passionate about art, history, cinema, design, music, food, business and “La dolce vita”?

Do you dream to travel to Italy, live in Milan, enjoy a gelato in Rome, take a dramatic picture in Venice, walk around Naples or study abroad in Tuscany?
