Learn Italian in Viareggio
Italian Immersion in Italy
Learning Italian abroad in Viareggio, Italy is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. Known for its diverse regions, rich culture, and fabulous food, boot-shaped Italy possesses perhaps the most instantly identifiable physical shape of any country in the world. You can visit Roman ruins, gawk at Renaissance art, stay in tiny hill towns, ski the Alps, explore the canals of Venice, and see more churches than you can imagine. Naturally, you can indulge in the elementary pleasures of good food, improving your wardrobe, and seeking out "la dolce vita." From its beaches to its Alpine mountains, Italy vibrates with a special soul that is reflected in its people, music, and art.
Learn Italian Language in Italy:
Wide sandy beaches line the coast of this traditional Italian town on the Tuscan Riviera (or Versilia), while a tall mountain serves as a dramatic backdrop. Viareggio gives visitors an authentic feel while still providing the wide sandy beaches and excellent nightlife of a resort town. The town is small enough to be easily walkable and it is easy to meet the friendly natives. A visit to Viareggio means an opportunity to sample the fresh seafood specialties and visit the nearby historical towns of Florence, Pisa, Pietrasanta and more.
School Facilities:
The campus is located in the center of Viareggio, within walking distance from the beach. There is a nice terrace, a gazebo and a small garden. The school is next to a pine forest where you can go jogging, rent a bicycle or play tennis. The whole town is within walking distance of the school. Capacity is 120/day.
Participants:
Most students are university students, professionals and independent travelers. Average age is 25. More young students in the summer.
