Incontri in Sicilia

Learn Italian with a modern short story specifically designed for adult Italian language learners.

This story is tailored for lower-intermediate learners of Italian (A2-B1 CEFR) and follows Fiona, an American on a trip to Sicily to obtain dual citizenship through her great-grandparent. While exploring the charming village of Montalbano Elicona, where her ancestors once lived, Fiona makes new friends—and not only that.

Why learn with Italian short stories?

Deep learning happens through repeated exposure to words and grammar in varied contexts. An easy reader in Italian is an effective tool to learn new vocabulary and phrases in context, without the need to memorize isolated words. It also helps you reactivate your knowledge of Italian grammar and vocabulary that you may have learned in the past but haven’t fully internalized due to lack of use.

This short novel in Italian has been expertly crafted and optimized by an Italian teacher with over 10 years of experience, specializing in teaching adult learners.
