Learn Italian in Italy

with Raffaele Tardivo

Your host, Raffaele Tardivo has a passion for Italy, for Lecce and the Italian language. In 2011, he spent 10 weeks studying Italian at the University of Salento in Lecce. His time in Lecce was the inspiration for the Lecce Italian Language Experience. Raffaele has been hosting Italian language tours to Lecce since 2012. Since 2023 he has also been offering Cagliari in Sardinia as a destination.

Small group, experiential travel at their best, Raffaele’s tours are for people who love Italy, and who want to learn Italian or improve their Italian language proficiency. Italian language beginners are very welcome.
