The Italian language, lived every day

Learning Italian by living the community

Where every gesture becomes learning

Workshops and experiences that transform the community into an open-air classroom

The experiences and workshops are the heart of RiPonza: not simple recreational activities, but the bridge to enter the living language and deeper Italian culture through real immersion that transforms every gesture into learning.
At RiPonza, the community becomes your classroom through continuous contact with the inhabitants, working side by side with artisans, farmers, small local entrepreneurs and local cooks. Each workshop has been designed as an experiential educational activity, created to help you learn Italian by “doing” in a real and spontaneous context. In this way, learning becomes active: every action is the perfect opportunity to discover new words, idiomatic expressions and linguistic nuances that will stick in your memory, while allowing you to explore cultural and social themes.
Let yourself be guided by the passion of our inhabitants and discover how every encounter can transform into a lesson of life and language. Below are some of the experiences that await you…
