Urbania at a glance
Centro Studi Italiani is in Urbania (Marche). 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.
Festa Nazionale della Befana In the first days of January Urbania becomes the official home of the Befana, with giant stockings, markets and the old woman abseiling down the tower. Perfect for holiday vocabulary and idioms. | early January |
