Capolavori d'Italia
Level 4
Capolavori d'Italia is an immersive course that replaces our former Intermediate 3 and Advanced 1 levels, focusing on Italy’s greatest artistic masterpieces and magnificent artists. Students will explore iconic works from renowned Italian artists throughout history, examining and discussing paintings, sculptures, buildings and photographs. The course aims to discuss and learn about the grandeur of Italy’s men and women of art, offering both linguistic development and a deeper cultural appreciation of Italy's rich artistic heritage.
Please note that Capolavori d'Italia will focus primarily on speaking skills to help you engage in real-world conversations, with less emphasis on grammar. While grammar will still be covered, the course is designed to prioritize practical speaking ability.
