Part-time courses for adults

L'Ottocento Italiano in Arte

This course is for students with advanced language skills (A-level or above) who have the ability to hold a general conversation in Italian.

The course will be taught through the medium of Italian.

Dopo lo splendore del Rinascimento e i virtuosismi del Barocco, l’arte in Italia cambia strada e racconta nuove storie.

In questo corso racconteremo e discuteremo queste storie, osservando e interpretando un’Italia di cambiamento, tra spirito rococò e un futuro in lavorazione.

Questo corso è ideale per studenti di livello avanzato di italiano.
