Why Salerno?
Salerno is a small and authentic city, perfect for studying Italian because of its charming, calm atmosphere and its affordable cost of living. It’s also a hubspot from which you can explore the rest of Italy.
- Easy ferry access to the Amalfi coast
- A short train ride to Pompeii
- Less than 3 hours to Rome and less than 5 hours to Florence by train
A stay in Salerno will give you time to visit the Duomo (Cathedral), which some call the most beautiful church in Italy, take in the Museo Archeologico Provinciale (the Archaeological Museum), and relax in the Villa Comunale (a landscaped garden park) in the centrostorico (historic centre), among many other sites. Enjoy the city and more in italiano!
Why Naples?
Naples ( Napoli) is an authentic Italian city rich in art, culture and food with breath-taking monuments, UNESCO heritage historical centre, cathedrals, churches and museums! The Royal Palace, San Carlo theatre, the archaeological museum, the underground city are only some of the monuments you can enjoy during your stay in Naples while having the best pizza and espresso ever!
- Ideal position by seaside in the South of Italy in a beautiful and famous touristic area: Amalfi Coast, Sorrento Peninsula, Pompeii, Capri, Ischia, etc.
- Easy ways to get to the city by low cost and standard flights, thanks to the international airport of Naples Capodichino connected with the main cities in the world.
I thought the course was well organized and allowed plenty of opportunity to speak the language and learn the history of Salerno and the surrounding cities. It was a good experience, I wouldn't change a thing, except the weather. Everyone was great. No improvements necessary, great job. All the teachers and staff were very nice and helpful. Nice job. My host mother was kind, she spoke and fed me. Also, she seemed genuinely concerned with my well-being. Overall, it was a great experience. It was a wonderful experience. In the future, I would like to stay longer and arrive in the summer.
