THE LOCATION
Travellers seeking an alternative to Tuscany and Umbria should not miss
Le
Marche, the third region that makes up central Italy. This region
is situated on the eastern side, between the Adriatic Sea and the high Apennine
mountains and much of it remains unspoilt by the ravages of mass tourism. Centro
Culturale Conero is an Italian language school based near the centre of the
lovely small town of
Camerano.
Set on a hill (231 m.), surrounded by picturesque countryside studded with
vineyards, sunflowers and olive trees, Camerano is an ideal starting point for
naturalistic excursions to the
Cònero Nature Park,
which we regularly organize with our students. Since 1997, the school runs
courses and activities throughout the year, helping class members discover the
culture and daily life of this spectacular corner of the region, not far from
Ancona and from the beautiful beaches of the
Riviera del Conero.
ITALIAN LANGUAGE COURSES
We offer extensive, intensive and super-intensive group courses in small groups
(max. 9 per class / average 4/5) and all kinds of individual courses (general or
for specific subjects). We also organize special courses (Italian cooking,
Wines, Diction for Opera Singers, History of Italian Art/Cinema / Theatre/ Music
etc.). The group courses are divided into
6 teaching levels,
from elementary to advanced, according to the Common European Framework of
Reference for Languages and are led by by
fully-qualified native
teachers, who really love to teach Italian and do it
enthusiastically, achieving great results. Our lessons are held in 7 comfortable
classrooms, in a
friendly and homely
atmosphere. The school is close to the hotels, apartments and
families where our students are usually lodged, and to the bus stops (10/15
minutes away from either Ancona or the seaside). Students at Centro Culturale
Conero have
free access to e-mail and
Internet services directly from the school (wi-fi). Students will
profit from the intimate learning environment of a school where everyone knows
each other by name and will appreciate being the only foreigners in this small
but lively town and
speak Italian wherever
they go (shops, restaurants, ice-cream parlours, bars, etc.)
FREE TIME
We organize weekly guided trips and excursions to artistic and
atmospheric towns of the region:

absolute ‘must’ for lovers of art and architecture;

ACCOMMODATION
Upon request
we will help you find comfortable and convenient accommodation in Camerano or
the surrounding area. Lodging will be provided in nice apartments for your
exclusive use or shared with other course participants, hotels, agriturismi (ex
farms), or in selected families, where students will be able to practice their
Italian communication skills in an atmosphere of day-to-day family life.
FEEDBACK
Over 25% of our students every year come back to Camerano at least once to
continue their studies at CCC. Given the more obvious attractions of some of the
other learning centres in our beautiful country (Rome, Florence, Venice, etc.),
we are delighted to achieve such a positive response from our valued students.
