Italy’s language and culture have shaped art, history, cuisine, and global discourse for centuries, leaving an indelible mark on the world and American society.
At RWU, studying Italian is more than just learning a language; it’s an immersive journey into the heart of Italian life, thought, and tradition. Students engage deeply with the nuances of the Italian language, mastering its use in everyday conversation as well as professional and academic settings.
But language is only the beginning. Our program goes beyond grammar and vocabulary, fostering cultural fluency and a keen awareness of the diverse perspectives that define Italy’s rich heritage. Whether through literature, film, history, or contemporary issues, students develop the skills to navigate and appreciate cultural differences-preparing them to connect with the global Italian-speaking community in meaningful ways.
