P R E S E N T S
THE 57th COURSE ON ITALIAN
LANGUAGE AND CULTURE FOR FOREIGNERS IN VIAREGGIO
--In
1949 Tristano Bolelli, full professor of
glottology in Pisa University, felt the need
to put in contact young students of different
countries, after the dismal experience of World
War II. The chosen place was Viareggio,
famous seaside resort, in order to easy the
encounter by an environment offering moments of
relax and amusement (like only a tourist resort
can) together with the occasion of apprehending a
new language.
--For
57 years Pisa University has organized summer
courses on Italian language and culture for
foreigners in Viareggio. This year the
courses will be held July 3-27 (1st course) and
August 1-25 (2nd course) at the international
centre for studies "C. Colombo" college, in
Viareggio.

language and culture. They are given in
various levels, from "beginner" to "advanced".
Lessons are held 3 hours per day (9,00 to 12,00
a.m.), 6 days per week (from Monday to Saturday).
Also, there will be given 10 lectures of one hour
(from 12,00 to about 13,00 a.m.) focusing on
artistic and historical itineraries of some
Italian famous places. Lectures must be attended
only by students of "intermediate" or "advanced"
courses.

each course 4 cultural excursions (optional) will
be organized (two on Sundays and two on school
days) to the following places:

will be given, but only students with 3 days of
