Brother and sister Diego and Lucia Cattaneo - qualified Italian teachers - offer you the possibility of combining an invaluable and pleasant learning experience with an unforgettable holiday.

This is not just a visit to Venice but an opportunity to live the city, breathing the language and experiencing its unique lifestyle first-hand: the Venetian way! Learning the language of Marco Polo and Vivaldi, you will also have the chance to practice it first hand with Diego, Lucia, their close family and friends.

Mornings begin at the Cattaneos’ house, right in the heart of Venice: lesson time! Experience the pleasure of learning in a professional and yet casual environment. Impara l’italiano con noi: our lessons are interactive, practical and fun. In the afternoons, we will focus on the Italian language as applied to art, music, history, cooking and sport, in our carefully crafted cultural programme. In the evenings, enjoy the company of Diego, Lucia and their Venetian friends over a crispy pizza or a refreshing drink by the Venetian canals.

Our goal is to share with you the pleasure of learning. You will learn and practice your Italian in a privileged and unique environment, with the language contextualized in many different situations and fields. It will be learning Italian while eating and drinking with locals. We will take you with us walking its labyrinthine streets and exploring its enchanting canals. In Italian you will discover the most fascinating facts, secrets and legends of this unique city and its lagoon through the explanations of professional guides and art experts.

By the way, have you ever tried to row along Venetian canals? Fancy giving it a go…?
