The classes at the Cultura Italiana Arezzo are fantastic as are the extracurricular activities.
Attending class every day provides structure to your stay and provides a sense of belonging. To be clear, the courses are intense, but the support of the instructors and the other students builds connection. I have made new friends, not only in Arezzo but from various countries with whom I will stay in touch with.
My experience at the Cultura Italiana Arezzo has been the high light of my time. I look forward to continuing classes and to become proficient, if not fluent in Italian.
