Assisi at a glance
Accademia Lingua Italiana Assisi is in Assisi (Umbria). Outside the classroom this is where the language gets practised: at the coffee counter, in the square, at the market.
Events this year
The city's big festivals, food fairs and cultural seasons through the year. They're not just entertainment: they're the best training ground for your Italian. At a local festival you end up ordering, asking directions, chatting with locals: the real language, the kind books don't teach. If you can, line up a week of your course with one of these.
Calendimaggio In May Assisi goes back to the Middle Ages: the upper and lower halves of town compete with parades, songs and contests, and the streets glow with torches. Spectacular for historical and musical vocabulary. | May |
Festa di San Francesco On 4 October all of Italy looks to Assisi for the feast of the national patron saint, with ceremonies and pilgrims from around the world. A chance for religious vocabulary and formal, solemn Italian. | 4 October |
