Italian Lessons in Torino

The Italiano Porticando is a delightful, small and friendly school, offering Italian lessons just down the road from where I live. The school is situated in the Quadrilatero Romano in Via Mercanti (corner Via Garibaldi). The area features in my Turin walking tour and is a very trendy part of the city - full of cafes, craft shops and great restaurants. You can visit the schools site here.

Being a small school personal attention is assured from the mother-tongue teachers Rosaria, Caterina and the rest of the team. They are all exceptional and ever so friendly. The teaching is excellent and at the same time the school ensures that you have a complete “Turin Experience”. They make a special effort to introduce students to the authentic Turin and Piedmont. Their love of Turin is evident in everything they do from day one of your arrival and they are great at communicating their passion for this city.

Both private and small classes are offered and the school will organize accommodation for students. Their specialized courses “Italian for hobby-painters” and “Italian for Gourmets” are particularly worthwhile.

If you want to learn Italian while at the same time getting to know the beautiful city of Turin, its culture and a little of Piedmont’s history and culinary tradition then this Italian language school is the perfect place to start. You will find it very difficult to leave this school and indeed Turin at the end of your stay.
