A popular volume which clearly and concisely explores various facets of Italian culture (geography, institutions, religion, education, cuisine etc)."Cose d'Italia" is not a language course and so does not have any formal treatment of grammar but it does offer a very thorough introduction to Italian life and culture which would be particularly suitable for anyone planning on an extended visit or stay in Italy. The answers are at the back of the book which makes it suitable for both classroom and home use.

Levels B1 - C1 outlined in the "Common European Framework of Reference for Language Learning" are covered in "Cose d'Italia".
