Hello to everybody, I newly started studying italiano, so need to have a corresponder from anywhere of the world. Please contact me via my e_mail. Here in Istanbul, I am an industrial engineer and 35 years old, male. Maybe next year we can have a tour for Italy to make both our foreign languages better, and have more fun. bye bye.

Well, I thought I could write you in Italien, but let my try my English before I forget it. I found your homepage by an accident, and I was pleased to see your photos from Viareggio where I stayed for more than 3 years. It's way back in time and years, but in that specific year 1958, we educated your scandinavians in the Colombo Collegium. When I write "we", I must underline, that I did'nt take part in the seminars, I was a young student in the mysteries of marble and granite. When I returned to Denmark I got married, got kids and we spent every year our vacasion on the beautiful beaches at Viareggio. Still I have a lot of my old friends on the phone, on the screen here and it is a wonderful feeling still being able to speek the beautiful language. Therefore I'll close my letter saying stai mi bene, non ci vedremo - ma pero, non si sa mai" tante belle cose, ciao, Poulino.

My Husband was born in Viareggio .If only we had known this course was available before our children could have spoken perfect Italian,but it is never too late.Hope to see you October 2004.
Ezio e Pamela.

I am considering attending Centro Puccini and would be interested in hearing from any one in the U.S. who attended there, or who may be going this year. I live in California where the weather is similar to Italy.

Dear All at Centro Puccini, I just want to let you know that I had a great time this year! See you next year. Ciao, Priscilla

Hello! I have recently been to Viareggio for a holiday for two weeks and i wish i was still there! It's the greatest place on earth. The women were beautiful, the sun was shining, lovely beach, great hotel, and the best food i have ever tasted! I must go back soon.

Hello everyone! I'm going to viareggio in june and I was wondering who else is going... I'd like to have contact with other people who are also going to learn Italian this summer, so please leave a message or email me!

Mi chiama Marja, sono Olandese , ho 58 anni.
Sono stata spesso a centro Puccini ed era sempre un piacere.
Le insegnante sono competente e carine. Ho imparato molto e allo stesso tempo ho avuto un bel periodo in Viareggio.
Mi piace anche la scuola se stessa, una vecchia casa, vicina alla Pineta . Durante la pausa  prendiamo un caffe con quasi tutti gli altri studenti alla pasticceria Puccinella. E davvero divertente e non mi ho sentito mai da sola.
Mi rallegro all' anno prossimo, per la dodicesimo volta!

I am Christl from Austria; I attended the school Giacomo Puccini in Viareggio the tenth time because I like everything. The teachers, the Secretariat, the surroundings, the sea, people. I was always happy

The Giacomo Puccini school is situated in Viareggio, which is an amazing, living city full of culture, wonderful gastronomy, nice beaches, friendly and open locals and is also safe. Students are able to immerse themselves into the culture and become part of the city right from day one and experience the real Tuscany. The position of the school is predestined for exploring the amazing Tuscany, primarily with its jewels Florence, Pisa, Lucca, and Pietrasanta. The location of school is ideal for students who want to move around without having to use public transport and be within close range of all amenities. After my fifth stay I can frankly say that all host families and apartments are great and within a few minutes walk from the school as well. For those who enjoy more of social life I would recommend sharing an apartment with other students. Being a medium sized school, in which Giovanni - the owner and director - is directly involved, you will get a professional and personal service, treating each student as just a valuable guest - with amazing and friendly teachers making sure that all your needs are met - but soon you will feel like a member of big Italian family. The best for the end - apart of making my Italian better and better, every year I meet some amazing people from all over the world and even made my best friends here. And I know those who even found in Viareggio their ever lasting love... :)
