There’s something that connects us to our roots, even if we live thousands of miles away. It’s a feeling that’s hard to explain but one that many people know well: the curiosity to understand the meaning behind your surname or to watch old family photos.
If you too feel a special connection to Italy, then the course “Discovering Your Roots” offered by Scuola Leonardo da Vinci might be the experience you’ve been waiting for.
A Course Designed for Descendants of Italians
This program is more than just an Italian language course. It’s a journey specially designed for people of Italian descent living in America, Argentina, Australia, Canada, Brazil, or elsewhere, who want to rediscover the language, culture, and history of their family.
The lessons take place in a welcoming, multicultural environment in charming Italian cities such as Florence, Rome, Milan, Turin, and Viareggio.
But the real heart of the program lies in the six special weekly lessons entirely focused on discovering your roots.
What makes this course unique?
The program is structured to combine Italian language study with personalized cultural and genealogical activities:
Italian language lessons: Four daily classes to improve your language skills in a stimulating environment.
Cultural insights: six weekly lessons dedicated to:
• The history of Italian emigration
• Exploring the region and hometown of your ancestors
• Studying the local dialect
• Researching the origin of your surname
In addition, the school can help plan a visit to your family’s place of origin.
Every student brings a unique story with them, and the course is designed to highlight and celebrate that uniqueness. Teachers guide students not only in learning the language but also in reconstructing their cultural identity.
