Abstract:

This Italian textbook is divided into two parts. The first consists of texts
and dialogues, which help the reader to have fun while learning Italian. This
section is also peppered with grammar lessons. The second part uses a number
of photos, which encourage students to speak about what they see. Its topics
are culturally interesting, and include cities to visit, recipes and small
biographies of famous Italian poets and writers.

As such, the book is suitable for students who are at beginner and
post-beginner levels; in other words, A1, A2, B1, and B2. Students of the
latter level can use the first two parts of the book to revise what they have
studied in the past and the third part to improve their vocabulary and their
reading skills.
One of the strengths of this book is in its recordings, which used several
people with a range of different accents. Such variety of accents and voices
represents a good training tool for the student of Italian.

The book also includes contributions from Michela Dettori, Michela Esposito,
Elsa Musacchio, Davide Renzi, Lea De Negri, Denise Pellini, Maria Andreana
Deiana, Lia Renzi, Clara Lucci and Flavia Rovella, which serve to make it
unique and interesting.
