I’ve read two of Capilli’s books now and they are both very readable and enjoyable. This one is at a good level for an advanced beginner as it keeps you engaged with a story and teaches you actual useful words and concepts. I re-read them often as they are a good read and a useful review of Italian words and phrases. Highly recommended.

Good story for Italian learners with a charming Italian Christmas atmosphere. I’ve purchased a few books by this author and enjoy the chapter, vocabulary, tips, and quiz/comprehension format. I have the physical book, which has plenty of space to write notes or translations between the lines.

I recently read this Italian reader and absolutely loved it. The story follows Costanza and her friend Anna on a two-week adventure in the charming city of Aosta. Their plans for skiing and hiking in the beautiful Alpine setting take an unexpected turn when a fierce snowstorm hits, which made the narrative even more engaging. As someone at the A1-A2 level, I found the vocabulary lists, idiomatic expressions, and cultural insights incredibly helpful. The comprehension exercises reinforced what I learned, and the included audio significantly improved my listening and pronunciation skills. It's rare to find beginner-level materials that are both educational and genuinely enjoyable, but this book truly fits the bill. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their Italian in a fun and intuitive way.
