Ravenna at a glance
Scuola Palazzo Malvisi Ravenna is in Ravenna (Emilia-Romagna). 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.
Ravenna Festival Between June and July opera, symphonic music and theatre fill the Byzantine basilicas and cloisters. A unique setting: excellent for musical vocabulary and for cultured, formal Italian. | June–July |
Settembre Dantesco In September Ravenna commemorates Dante, who is buried here, with readings from the Commedia, concerts and ceremonies. A precious chance for literary Italian and for understanding the country's bond with its poet. | September |
La Notte d'Oro In October museums, mosaics and monuments stay open into the night, with concerts and free tours. A relaxed city-wide evening: perfect for wandering and chatting in Italian. | October |
