Vincenzo Monelli

Since 2009, I have been conducting Italian language and culture courses for adults, including company executives, business people, and university students from different countries around the world. My courses are suitable for any level of language proficiency and any interests—whether it's tourism, work, study, or simply a love for the Italian language and culture.

All of my teaching programs are individually tailored to your specific needs and goals. I offer lesson packages with emphasis on conversational practice, vocabulary expansion, or written Italian for academic or professional use. We can work on everyday vocabulary as well as more specialized topics.

For tourists, students, or professionals interested in the food and wine sector, I am especially qualified to conduct specialized courses. My expertise in this area is supported by serious academic education. In 2008, after obtaining a degree in modern literature, I completed a PhD in cultural anthropology, and then engaged in research and teaching at Italian universities, studying the role of food in culture.

I also offer immersion in Italian culture through virtual tours of famous and hidden corners of Florence, lessons in preparing traditional dishes, and discussions about Italian cinema, literature, and art. This helps my students not only learn the language but also understand the mentality and lifestyle of Italians.

My classes take place in a friendly and supportive atmosphere where each student feels comfortable and confident. I use a communicative approach that helps overcome the language barrier and start speaking Italian from the very first lessons.

Please contact me or book a trial lesson. I look forward to meeting you and having the opportunity to help you learn the beautiful Italian language. Insieme, possiamo fare un viaggio meraviglioso nel mondo italiano! (Together we can take an amazing journey into the Italian world!)
