Simple texts and beautiful images aid and encourage students of Italian to engage with important, varied and motivating cultural themes. This book represents a new approach to Italian as a foreign language which responds to students' interest in Italian art and culture, not only at advanced level but also elementary and intermediate levels.

KEY FEATURES

- CLIL: interesting and original disciplinary content integrated with accessible language. A series of targeted activities invites students to reflect on the peculiarities of the Italian language for study and the language of art.

- Multi-level: for adult students and young adults at elementary level, the thirty chapters in this book represent challenging and interesting input texts to diversify and motivate their discovery of Italian art and language. For higher-level students, the variety and originality of topics provide useful stimuli for "talking about art" in Italian. Despite the use of simplified language from a morphological and syntactic point of view, the volume is enjoyable and useful also for students of C1/C2 level and for native speakers.
