Studying Italian opens the door to a beautiful new world. Italy holds up to 75% of the world’s art treasures, has been home to some of the world’s greatest writers and thinkers (Petrarch, Dante, Boccaccio, Machiavelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Leopardi, Gramsci, Montessori), boasts fabulous food, fashion and design, and has a dynamic economy: fourth in the Eurozone and eighth (by nominal GDP) in the world. Having fluent Italian is extremely beneficial for the job market as Italian is less common, you will stand out. You do not need to have studied Italian before most students of Italian start as beginners.
