Tortured by a Chicken all Summer Long!

Che cos’è un tormentone estivo?What is a summer tormentone?

In Italia, ogni estate ha la sua colonna sonora: una canzone che esplode dalle radio, risuona nei negozi, rimbalza tra le onde del mare… e ti entra in testa senza pietà! Queste canzoni si chiamano “tormentoni”, un nome che deriva dal verbo tormentare.

What a Fabulous Group of Italian Students! Incred

What a Fabulous Group of Italian Students!

Incredible women, every single one of them! It was piacere puro to spend the past two weeks together, sharing the magic of Arezzo, learning at Cultura Italiana, cheering for the Giostra del Saracino, and indulging in unforgettable Tuscan culinary delights.

We laughed, we learned, we lived like locals — and by the end, united by language, we now are bonded like family. ❤️

All good things must come to a close, and today we hugged tight and wiped away a few tears as everyone began their journeys home. But don’t worry — le porte di Arezzo will swing open again…

Same time, same place — June 2026! 🇮🇹

A Beautiful Farewell to Our Arezzo Adventure Last

A Beautiful Farewell to Our Arezzo Adventure
Last night, we wrapped up our unforgettable journey with a farewell cooking class and dinner at Le Rocche, a charming country villa just outside of Arezzo. Surrounded by the beauty of the Tuscan countryside, we rolled up our sleeves and made a full Italian feast from scratch—fresh pasta, classic sugo al pomodoro, savory rotini di carne con salvia e formaggio, and of course, a luscious tiramisù to finish!

A heartfelt grazie mille to the delightful and talented Chef Sara, our culinary guide through the flavors and traditions of Tuscany. Your warmth and expertise made the evening truly magical.

We’ll treasure these memories—and we’ll definitely be back!

Alzata presto per prendere questo… e boom! Giorn

Alzata presto per prendere questo… e boom! Giornata partita alla grande! Got up early for this and day instantly off to a great start!

Eh già… chi si diverte adesso, eh? Bella serata

Eh già… chi si diverte adesso, eh? Bella serata con il gruppo! Who’s having fun now?
