Università per Stranieri di PerugiaEvents 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.
Umbria Jazz In July Perugia becomes a world capital of jazz, with concerts in the squares and streets of the old town, many of them free. International, relaxed atmosphere: perfect for practising Italian between two sets. | July |
Eurochocolate In October Perugia fills with chocolate, tastings and cocoa sculptures. A sweet and crowded festival: excellent for the vocabulary of food and flavours, and for socialising in Italian. | autumn |
Festival Internazionale del Giornalismo In spring Perugia hosts journalists from all over the world for free talks on current affairs. For advanced students, a rare chance to hear the Italian of the media and of public debate. | April |
