"I have thoroughly enjoyed my first and second beginning Italian language courses. As promised, there were never more than eight participants and sometimes as few as four.Our instructor, Nadia, was patient and guided us gently when needed. It was great fun meeting and interacting with my fellow students."

Albert | Los Angeles, CA

"I went to the Italian Consulate in Los Angeles to renew my passport and found out about Fondazione Italia. Almost a year later, I am very grateful that I finally received that formal Italian language education.This experience has been a journey to link even more deeply with the past and my Italian origin. So, thank you Fondazione Italia! Please, keep teaching classes online!"
