Learning to read and speak Italian offers access to an important world culture. While modern Italy began to emerge in its present-day form in the late 19th century, the civilizations that preceded it exerted a profound influence on Western culture. Whether in religion, art, music, or science, Italy's past offers many keys to the present.

Through its tradition of global exploration and entrepreneurial endeavors, Italy has played a significant role in world history. Today, it is among the world's wealthiest democratic nations, and a leader in a variety of fields, including film, fashion design, cuisine and intellectual life. Classes in Italian literature and culture, building on classes in Italian language, will open up this wide and fascinating array of topics to the student.
