The school offers a series of seminars which can be combined with your language course, but can also be booked independently. The goal of these seminars is not only the study of the language but also an in- depth discussion of topics relating to diverse aspects of Italian and Sicilian life and culture.
We offer a great variety of topics from the History of Sicily, or Italy, History of the Italian language, History of Art to more actual themes like the mafia.
