The Marco Polo Turandot Program was founded in 2006 at the direct request of the Italian and Chinese governments to give Chinese students the opportunity to undertake higher education studies – both undergraduate and graduate – in Italy. Since 2015, Itinera delivers high-quality Italian language and culture courses to prepare Chinese students for enrolment in Italian universities, academies of fine arts and music conservatories. Our team of expert L2 Italian language teachers, with knowledge of the Chinese language and innovative teaching methods based on new technologies, aims not only to train and guide the students in their chosen studies, but also to support them throughout their Italian experience.
