Meeting with Enza Negroni, director and president of the Associazione Documentaristi Emilia-Romagna APS. Introduction by Massimo Maracci, director of Cultura Italiana, alongside Giuliana Pala, literary scholar and teacher of Cultura Italiana
J'ai suivi une semaine de cours à Cultura Italiana Bologna et j'ai beaucoup apprécié : la localisation, le bâtiment, l'accueil du directeur Massimo qui est un homme extraordinaire, les enseignants qui le sont tout autant, les activités proposées en dehors des cours pour découvrir la ville (et les glaces...), la pédagogie, la bienveillance, l'organisation, l'énergie... Je suis à peu près sûre d'y revenir 🙂
Response from the owner:Grazie mille cara Véronique!
My second year visiting this school and it continues to be a fantastic school of dedicated teachers. It allows a perfect mix of study and holiday as Bologna is so beautiful and easy to negotiate. I will be back next year!
Response from the owner:Grazie mille Kathleen, é stato un piacere rivederti!
Dyktige, profesjonelle lærere og god atmosfære skapte et godt læringsmiljø hos Cultura Italiana! Hadde en flott uke her der jeg fikk nye venner og lærte mye om Bologna, Italia i tillegg til språket. Anbefales!
Response from the owner:Cara Christina, grazie mille! A presto!
Cultura Italiana ist eine wunderbare Sprachschule im Herzen von Bologna. Ich war in 2026 schon zum fünften Mal hier und werde wieder kommen. Man fühlt sich sofort gut aufgenommen, die Stimmung ist heiter und familiär. Die Lehrkräfte sind engagiert, kompetent und verbreiten gute Laune. Mir gefällt auch die "bunte" Zusammensetzung der kleinen Gruppen, junge und reifere Menschen aus der ganzen Welt mit interessanten Lebensläufen und Ideen, die das Vergnügen und das Interesse am Italienisch lernen verbindet. Die intensiven Aufenthalte an dieser lebendigen inspirierenden Sprachschule im schönen Bologna wirken bei mir stets lange nach und bereichern mein Leben.
Response from the owner:Caro Karl-Heinz, grazie grazie grazie! Gli studenti che ci scelgono ogni anno sono la nostra certezza. Ti aspettiamo ancora una volta!
J´ai passé tout le mois d´avril à l´école, c´était une super expérience! L´emplacement de l´école est idéal. L´équipe des enseignants est disponible, j´ai passé un très bon moment 🙂
Response from the owner:Grazie mille Margot, è stato un piacere conoscerti ☺️
My two week experience at this school -- which attracts students from all ages and from around the world -- was absolutely exceptional. The teachers are all top notch, with excellent lesson plans, a variety of approaches (conversation, grammar) and really effective and personalized methods. The location is in the historic center of Bologna, a fantastic city that's close to so many other historic sites and cities. And the school continues its education offerings after classes with a variety of events (walks and longer hikes, city tours, aperitivi, gelato exploration, weekend trips to cities like Parma, Ferrara, Modena, etc... and even a fantastic cooking school offered twice a week). All this makes Cultura Italiana Bologna a perfect destination to immerse yourself in Italian culture and language studies. Can't speak highly enough for this great organization. I'll be back next year!
Response from the owner:Cara Carla, grazie di cuore! Ti aspettiamo l'anno prossimo per nuove avventure bolognesi!
Sono arrivato qui senza aver mai studiato davvero l’italiano prima e, in sole 8 settimane, ho imparato tantissimo.
I professori sono molto preparati, pazienti e sempre attenti alle esigenze degli studenti. Le lezioni sono ben organizzate e l’ambiente della scuola è accogliente e motivante.
Un altro aspetto molto positivo sono le tante attività extra classe, che aiutano non solo a praticare la lingua, ma anche a conoscere meglio la cultura italiana e a fare nuove amicizie.
È stata un’esperienza davvero speciale e sono molto felice di aver scelto questa scuola. La consiglio a chiunque voglia imparare l’italiano in modo serio, ma anche piacevole e coinvolgente.
Response from the owner:Caro Paulo, grazie per le tue parole. Siamo felici di averti aiutato!
Ich bin begeistert von der Schule!
Danke den Lehrerinnen und Lehrern, die uns ihre Sprache mit Freude, Humor und Leichtigkeit vermittelt und uns auch die italienische Kultur näher gebracht haben.
Die gut strukturierten Tage liessen Raum, die wunderbare Stadt Bologna zu erkunden.
Wir kommen wieder!
Response from the owner:Cara Franziska, grazie mille!
Ecole de langue sachant créer du lien entre les professeurs et les apprenants mais aussi entre apprenants. Les activités proposées sont diverses, interessantes, progressives.
Certaines activités ludiques permettent de s'impliquer et d'apprendre sans crainte. Ecole accueillante, chaleureuse et surtout efficace. Très bonne école pour se sentir en confiance.
Response from the owner:Cara Céline, grazie mille a te!
Probabilmente la scelta migliore che ho fatto. La scuola ha una lunga esperienza, gli insegnanti sono molto competenti e pazienti.
I arrived with a basic level achieved on Duolingo, and departed with ability to communicate more comfortably. Not perfect yet, but enough to have a good continuation base. The whole approach was very practical and made fun. I am very grateful!
The school also helped to organise my accommodation.
I will be returning in the future for the next levels.
Grazie a tutti!
Response from the owner:Cara Stamena, grazie per le tue parole e per il tuo entusiasmo durante le lezioni. Siamo sempre felici quando vi aiutiamo a imparare con il sorriso! Ti aspettiamo in futuro 🤗
10/10 experience. I stayed in bologna with the school for four months. I had an AMAZING time, so much fun at the school, plus learnt heaps of italian. The school was very social, with a great atmosphere. All the lessons where always interesting and fun, whilst learning the langauge at the same time. The extra-curricular activitites were always a blast as well. Couldnt recomend enough. Thanks to everyone at Cultura Italiana. Xx
Response from the owner:Grazie Emily! È stato molto divertente aiutarti con l'italiano. In bocca al lupo per il tuo futuro! Un abbraccio
I've experienced many different language institutes for different languages. Cultura Italiana has been the best. The skills of the teachers and the positive engery they are conveying leads to very successful learning curve. The whole atmosphere at the school is very friendly. In addition they offer interesting walks and kitchen experiences, so you get to know the other students and the beautiful city. The infrastructure is, let's say, basic but therefore it's located in the centre of it all in Bologna. If you are looking for a five star italian language experience, go to Culture Italiana in Bologna!
Response from the owner:Grazie mille Andreas, per le tue parole e la fiducia che tu e i tuoi amici ci avete riservato. Vi aspettiamo ancora in futuro! Non c'è due senza tre 🤗
Great experience during my two week course. High quality teachers who quickly get you practising to speak Italian and supported with an understanding of the structure of the language. Plenty of opportunities to meet other students with the extra activities such as walks or optional, paid for, cooking lessons. For anyone considering an immersive learning experience is definitely recommend Culture Italiana Bologna.
Response from the owner:Caro Russell, grazie mille! Un saluto da Bologna
J’ai eu la chance de passer une semaine ( seulement) à Cultura Italiana. J’ y ai trouvé une ambiance très sympathique presque familiale. Massimo le directeur est enthousiaste et très gentil. Les enseignants que j’ai eu ont su m’apporter ce que j’étais venu chercher : compréhension de la structure de la langue et utilisation intense de celle ci aussi bien pendant les cours qu’en dehors dans les différentes activités proposées.
Pour finir Bologne est une ville magnifique et l’école est située en plein quartier historique à 3 ´ de la piazza maggiore.
Peut être à l’année prochaine !
Grazie mille
Response from the owner:Cara Marie, grazie per le tue parole! Ti aspettiamo in futuro per un'altra settimana (o più?) insieme ☺️
My four weeks at this school have been wonderful. I have learned so much and have enjoyed an excellent cultural experience.
The classes are really well organised and the teachers are incredibly supportive and generous with their time.
It's more than just a school - it's an opportunity to really feel a part of the cultural fabric of Italy.
A truly unique experience.
Response from the owner:Cara Laurel, siamo molto contenti che la scuola ti sia piaciuta, grazie per le belle parole! Speriamo di rivederti presto
I spent very exciting time at Bologna. I learned a lot a Cultura Italiana Bologna. My teacher taught me how to communicate in Italian with all his efforts. At the end of the course I really enjoyed speaking to local people in Italian. Additionally I like Bologna very much. It was full of arts, delicious foods, and energy! I would like to come back to study more.
Response from the owner:Carissima Yayoi, grazie mille per la tua fiducia, come sempre!
Deze instelling is werkelijk uniek in zijn soort. De manier waarop je wekelijks kunt instromen, hoe de groepen zijn ingedeeld, hoe iedereen op zijn niveau wordt ingeschaald is perfect. Ik kom hier al enkele jaren terug, met steeds heel veel plezier, en leer elke keer weer wat meer!
Ich möchte mich für eine wunderschöne, lehrreiche und interessante Woche in der Cultura Italiana bedanken!! Es war wunderschön und ich komme in 4 Wochen wieder. Grazie mille...
Response from the owner:Grazie Frank, ti aspettiamo presto!
