If you have been studying Italian for a while, you probably feel a connection with Italy. Perhaps you read newspapers online, listen to podcasts or read books about Italian life. But what is the background of these stories? How did Italian society get where it is today?
In this course you’ll delve into the history of Italian society. Each lesson you’ll explore a different topic ranging from politics to crime news and from television to fashion. Before each lesson you’ll read around ten pages from a collection of essays and articles on 20th century Italy, provided by the teacher with the possible addition of other sources (video, audio, websites). In class you’ll further explore the topic with conversation, revision and various activities.
