In two weeks you will be introduced to the basics of shooting gorgeous pictures, directing short movies, or dancing-playing-singing Italian folk music (e.g. “Tammuriata”).
Why learning Italian through a culture course? Language is what people use to communicate with other people or to learn something new. We chose to focus on this second aspect, offering together with the usual Italian lessons some new courses where you will be able to learn something practical. This is a new way to allow everyone to appreciate their stay and to use their Italian at its best, independently from its level.

It’s true that Christmas is just a little bit far, friends, but we have thought to open for you a window on the magic atmosphere of the Italian tradition during Christmas time.

In Italy, Christmas goes for three weeks and it is the biggest feast in the country. Our schools in Milan and Rome offer a course which lasts one week in the month of December, from the 17th to the 21st, and thanks to which you will have the opportunuty to know lot of curiosities about the Italian Christmas habits.

So, for example, you can learn “How to design your house for Christmas lunch“, or “How to prepare a perfect Christmas menu“, in addition you will discover the important “Tradition in italian houses during Christmas time of Presepe Napoletano’s“.

Moreover, the course includes a lot of interesting activities that allow you to take part to this feast by living it in the Italian way. In fact, gastronomic laboratories will be organised with a “Focus on the typical Christmas cakes”, “Guided visits whit the presence of a professional chef” who will explain you how to prepare a delicious Christmas menu, and a “Practical lesson about floral decoration with an evocation of remote atmospheres through a contemporary point of view”.

Rome and Colosseum, during the Italian ChristmasThis course is not addressed only to students enrolled to our school, but to all the people who are currently in Italy and desire to keep a piece of Italian Christmas, other than learning to speak a fluent Italian.

Therefore, the Leonardo da Vinci School waits for your participation to “Typical Italian dinner in restaurant“, and finally, we will celebrate the Christmas time with a “Final party: tasting of all course prepared in a friendly Christmas atmosphere“.

The course will take place from 17th to 21st of December 2007 …. If you need for further information on this course please visit our website by clicking-on “Christmas Course Milan” or “Christmas Course Rome“.
