Italiaidea was founded in 1984 with the goal of providing innovative teaching of Italian language and culture. The school is located on the famous boulevard Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, in the historical center of the city. Italiadea offers a great variety of classes for groups and/or individuals, at all proficiency levels, most of which  have been approved for credits by several US academic institutions. The school’s instructors and educators work together on the design and implementation of various study abroad programs for different European and American schools and regularly organize training seminars and workshops for teachers of Italian. Last but not least, the school’s instructors created Italian Espresso (By Alma Edizioni), one of the most innovative and popular textbooks for the teaching and learning of Italian language and culture, adopted by many  American Institutions.
