Italian grammar complete with exercises and authentic materials (A1-C1)

BONACCI EDITORE

With its clear layout, concise explanations, and various exercises, this grammar will help students master the rules of the Italian language, making it a useful accompaniment to any course.

This bilingual grammar has all the advantages of the monolingual version in that it uses authentic materials, introduces students to cultural aspects of Italy, and contains exercises making it a compact and practical point of reference. The aim is to present a model of Italian grammar as close as possible to spoken Italian, and so emphasis is placed on illustrating how grammar points are employed in authentic situations by providing examples of real adverts, images and dialogues. 

World War I in our Friuli Venezia Giulia

In the period between May 1915 and November 1917, Friuli Venezia Giulia staged the fights between the Italian and the Austro-Hungarian armies, which faced each other harshly for several months.

Karst, Isonzo area, Julian Alps and Pre-Alps, Carnic Alps and the hilly area along the Tagliamento line were the locations of fights, whereas the whole plain became a large area behind the front line in the service of the armed forces and was later invaded by the Austro-German troops after the defeat of Caporetto (Kobarid).

Today, the signs of those battles can still be seen in various places of the region and are not-to-be-missed destinations if you wish to discover from close up this big event, which changed our history.

Thanks to cart roads and CAI (Italian Alpine Club) paths you can reach the various open-air museums, which feature the remains of the war structures built and used by many soldiers. Following the proposed itinerary, you can go on thrilling walks, often in the middle of breathtaking landscapes, which will make you feel part of the context of life in a trench.

Some of these itineraries have been designed by the various regional associations that deal with the restoration and enhancement of the First World War sites.
