Domus Aurea, Rome:
Domus Aurea is located in the heart of Rome, between via Nazionale and the Coliseum, just a short walk from the legendary Trevi Fountain and the eternal Roman Forum. At the Domus Aurea Centre learning Italian takes place in a cultural and historical framework that helps you learn about Rome and Italy through art, history and traditions. Students who opt to do a combined course, studying both in Rome and Lecce, have the best of both worlds. They get a full immersion in all aspects of Italian life - town and city, sea and country. The experience will be unforgettable in every way and the only difficult part will be making your mind up about which after-school activity to take part in from the many on offer.

At the Domus Aurea Centre learning Italian takes place in a cultural and historical framework that helps you learn about Rome and Italy through art, history and traditions.
By now we have twenty years of educational experience.
Expert language teachers carefully plan the teaching units using modern methods of direct teaching to use the language as a means of communication.
The small number of students in each class (maximum 8) allows the teachers to dedicate time to each student individually, meeting their language needs.
Highly active and motivated, our teachers also act as “interaction leaders” and are there for the students even during social gatherings.
Before starting a class students take both a written and an oral test to determine their level of Italian. At the end of the course a brief final test completes the evaluation process.
A Certificate of attendence recognized by the Italian Ministry of Public Instruction will be given to each student.
On request the school is able to provide certificates for Visa and resident permit for students.
Activities:At the Domus Aurea Centre, it is our belief that a balance must be found between language and civilization, and while language study is our primary concern, we do not take the cultural aspect associated with learning about Italy lightly.
Our students can take part in two activities a week free of charge: a guided tour of the city and a film in Italian. In addition to the cultural aspect, which is always behind the choice of material used, the aim is also to learn something.
These two out-of-class activities help our students initiate comprehension and the ability to express themselves in Italian. That is why we urge our students use the lending library and ask for the list of books and films that are available in the secretary’s office.
In addition, to encourage complete integration, the school organizes conversation exchanges with native speakers, parties and conferences; and, especially in the summer months, the students are invited to participate in the extraordinary evenings in the open air to discover the “estate romana”, literally Roman Summer, a series of concerts, film festivals and “happenings” that takes place every summer in the Eternal City.
The notice board in the entrance hall is always full of suggestions for out of town excursions and for what’s going on at the weekend, as well as daily updates on the cinema, theatre, parties and music.
Among the more interesting suggestions for the weekend tourist we suggest Naples and the Amalfi Coast, Florence, Siena and many other cities in central Italy famous for their history and their beauty.
