"WELCOME TO OUR HOME!! Enjoy your staying in our family learning Italian. My son and I will ensure you have an enjoyable time! Immerse yourself in real Italian life.
My family consists of me and my 21-year-old son Guglielmo. My 92-year-old father also lives on the first floor of our large house. My 30-year-old daughter, Bianca, lives in Rome and is an Interior Designer. I am a translator of English and German, with a degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures. I also have a second degree in Modern Literature. Through my lessons, I can prepare you to take the QCER exams at different levels (A1/A2/B1/B2/C1/C2). You can take the exam directly at the University for Foreigners of Siena.
We live in Chiusi, a famous Etruscan town near Siena. Siena is just a 1-hour train ride away, and the train station is within a 5-minute walk from my house. We are also located 1 hour's drive from Florence and Rome, and only half an hour away from Arezzo and Perugia. Just a few kilometers from my house, you will find yourself surrounded by the beautiful Tuscan countryside of Valdorcia, where you can visit places like Montepulciano, Pienza, and San Quirico d'Orcia. Here, you can engage in various sports activities (such as walking, horse riding, and tennis) and explore cultural sites in Rome, Florence, Siena, Arezzo, and Perugia. If you enjoy reading, I have a library with hundreds of books (including English and German ones). And if you like to play, I also have a piano.
At my home, we speak Italian, English, and German. I'm really looking forward to seeing you very soon!"
