The students attending this course will be able to enter the kitchen of traditional Italian families and prepare, with their own hands and under the guidance of expert cooks, traditional dishes (from starters to desserts), and to taste these dishes with some of the best Italian wines. This is a two-week course which includes:

In addition to the General language lessons held in the classroom during the morning, the course includes three afternoons per week dedicated to special activities which may consist of:

• samples of traditional food, followed by dinner and conversation with the family in an Italian home;

• visit of agro-food companies in the Maremma with the possibility of typical dinners, tastings of food and local wines;

• visit of the fish farming plant of the fishermen in the Orbetello lagoon or assistance at the arrival of the fishermen, as well as with the selection and auction sale of the fish in the Ports of Monte Argentario, followed by dinner in a typical seaside restaurant.

A teacher accompanies the students to the locations, to the agricultural and food production centers and the Italian families.
