• Two afternoons a week we organise cultural meetings on a variety of subjects (Italian songs, cinema, theatre, history, art and literature etc.)
• Once a week included in the General Language and Culture Course, there are trips to the local nature reserves and parks, to the islands off the Tuscan coast, archaeological sites and old medieval town centres.

The direct contact with the many different aspects of the Italian environment combines the ease of acquiring specific areas of vocabulary with the enjoyment of exploring the local nature and history.

Cultural activities are aimed at exploring the Italian way of life, cuisine, traditions, cultural events and places where Italians meet other people. MEETING OTHER PEOPLE IN AND AROUND ORBETELLO IS REALLY EASY. All the typical meeting places are within a minutes walking distance, and nature is at hand all around us. In fact, in the afternoon students often arrange to meet up at one of the nearby beaches: the Duna, the Feniglia* or at one of the little bays around Monte Argentario* just a short bike ride away. In the evening they meet up in the local “bars”, pizzerias, restaurants or piazzas.

Twice a week students and teachers go out to dinner together in one of the characteristic restaurants along the coast or inland.
