My name is Ana Luiza, and I have been an Italian teacher for ten years. I have specialized training in Italian Language and Literature, a master’s degree in Literature focused on Italian Renaissance Literature, and hands-on experience in Italy. Between 2017 and 2018, I lived in Perugia, where I specialized in teaching Italian grammar. In March 2024, I returned to Italy to update myself, research prices and locations, and analyze the current state of tourism in the country.

It has always been impossible not to bring this information into my classes, so I decided to compile it in an organized and detailed way in this e-book.

In it, you will find:

• Essential information to understand how the Italian railway system works,
• How to select your accommodation and what to look for,
• The cultural differences between Brazilian and Italian homes,
• What to consider when renting a car and the main traffic rules,
• A website to calculate tolls and monitor real-time road conditions in Italy,
• Updated food prices in restaurants,
• The best way to purchase and reserve times for visits to Italian museums,
• A planner featuring a selection of 30 videos for practicing Italian listening skills, learning practical and useful vocabulary, and discovering new places to add to your itinerary.

On top of all that, at the end of each chapter, you’ll find a vocabulary list, websites, and useful information!
