Riva del Garda at a glance
CLM Bell Riva del Garda is in Riva del Garda (Trentino). 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.
Notte di Fiaba In late August Riva transforms for four days around a different fairy tale each year, with shows and fireworks over the lake. A family festival: perfect for simple, clear Italian. | late August |
Musica Riva Festival In July young musicians from around the world perform in often free concerts along the lakefront. An international, informal setting: easy to strike up a conversation in Italian. | July |
