YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM THREE DIFFERENT ONLINE LESSON PROPOSALS

Italy through Italian music

We will trace the profile of Italian music along the course of Italian history by immersing ourselves in a sea of intriguing suggestions. We will go in search of the connections between Italian music and Italian society and we will come across the skein of stories that make up the history of Italy. The course will start from the Opera, a universally known Italian musical genre, to then move on to popular music and feel how the jagged history of the Italian territory has given rise to a surprising complex of rhythms and harmonic solutions. Moving towards the years of fascism we will meet both the production of the regime and that of the young composers who have conveyed the forbidden American jazz in the peninsula. We will reach the seventies with the “committed” songwriters, probably the highest point reached in Italy in the context of textual writing. We will end with the contemporary music scene, characterized by the triumph of rap and an Italian society careful to define a more modern idea of citizenship for old and new Italians.

Florence through literature

Florence in the words of the writers of the world is the theme of this online course. Poems and novels have welcomed some of the most beautiful portraits of the city of Florence, which we will (re)discover precisely through the words of those who lived or dreamed it, and wanted to leave their memories on paper. During each lesson, we will read a different passage, focusing on the structure and images. Dante, Forster, Neruda, Pratolini, France, Fallaci and many other voices will guide you on this virtual tour of Florence. The city will appear to us in all its romantic beauty or in the crudeness of its most difficult neighborhoods, it will be the scenery of fin de siècle loves or the undisputed protagonist of the narration. The texts will also be an opportunity to deepen Italian through Italian writers or translations, and will give us the opportunity to observe the uses in the context of words and grammatical structures.

“Parole, parole, parole”

What if we try to learn Italian from its roots? What if we concentrated on the small bricks with which we build a language? From these reflections starts our new online course, which will be a dip to discover the sea of stories, ideas, texts and anecdotes that each word carries within itself. In each of these online Italian lessons we will meet a different word, unknown or common, poetic or technical, to greet or describe. We will investigate its origins, observe it in context and then try to use it through games, writing, grammar and conversation. The course is divided into three levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced) and the lessons will be adapted to the type of public participating.
