In the Summer Term students will read “Sud” by Mario Fortunato, a richly layered novel that explores memory, identity, and the deep connection between people and place. Through the story of Valentino, who leaves his native Calabria and later reflects on his past, the book unfolds as a journey between past and present, personal experience and collective history.
Set against the backdrop of twentieth-century Italy, “Sud” weaves together family stories, historical events, and emotional introspection, offering a nuanced portrait of Italian society beyond stereotypes. Accessible yet intellectually engaging, the novel provides an excellent opportunity for students to work with authentic Italian while engaging in meaningful discussions about culture, belonging, and the complexity of Italian identity.
Join us for an immersive Italian learning experience, where literature and conversation blend seamlessly—just like a perfectly made caffè corretto.
