I received my laurea summa cum laude (M. A. with honors) in foreign languages and literatures from the university of Bologna, in my native Italy. I have taught Italian in both public and private settings for over 20 years. In my beginning and intermediate courses at Albany I use my own textbook, called “Studio italiano” (Guerra Edizioni, Perugia, Italy). Students can buy the textbook directly from me on the first day of class or at http://tinyurl.com/69wrsk. I teach colloquial Italian, through conversation and review, some basic grammar, many cultural readings and educational entertainment (a love story, videos, music, recipes etc...) Speaking of entertainment: check out these humorous posters!
