Chiara has been teaching Italian at Taalhuis Amsterdam since 2019. She is very passionate about languages (speaking as many as possible) and their power to enrich our lives with the culture they reflect, opening so many doors and so many hearts. Teaching Italian to refugees in Italy in 2013 was her first unforgettable language adventure and since then she has never stopped.

She feels very lucky to be able to combine her passion with her profession, trying to bring some Tuscan sunshine to the classroom every time and making learning exciting and effective. When she is not teaching, she enjoys gardening, cooking, watercolour painting and making music – she plays the guitar and the drums.
