Atelier dell’italiano: lingua, cultura e cucina
At percorsoItaliano, we value experiences where students feel comfortable learning and practicing Italian beyond the classroom.
Traveling to Italy and spending time with Italians is the best way to be immersed in the language. At percorsoItaliano, we believe webinars & in-person workshops are the next best thing! Participants have the chance to listen to and speak Italian with our teachers and special guests.
These webinars & in-person workshops are hosted by our Italian teachers Roberta, Elisabetta, and Donatella, as well as, a diverse group of native Italian speakers. We’ve invited professionals from all walks of life including architects, opera singers, business owners, academics in cinema and history, artists, cooks, entrepreneurs, and many more.
We offer language, culture, and cooking workshops and webinars throughout the year.
Please read below to find out about our upcoming webinars and in-person workshops.
webinars and in-person workshops will be announced throughout the year, so stay tuned! Grazie!

“The workshops and the teachers pull you in via engaging and unique ways that excite adults to want to learn, and you find yourself emboldened and wanting to try to speak and communicate. And while doing so, you have gentle and gracious help and guidance from the teachers as they find a compassionate way to correct you or help you to properly pronounce things. It truly is fun and satisfying.”
