The Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research made a point of appointing the best Italian language schools, in order to support the circulation of Italian culture and the Italian language.
presa d’atto prot 23860/P from 30.11.2004
The accreditation by the Ministry is the only Italian recognition obtainable that does not require purchase. The state-approved Italian language Schools were inspected carefully. The fullfillment of these strict requirements, guidelines and standards is still checked on a regular basis.
The specified standards given by the Ministry of Education, University and Research cover following points:
Our Italian language school was founded in 1993 in Tropea as a caffè culturale under the name Caffè Italiano Club. In 2004, 11 years after its foundation, the Caffè Italiano Club was officially recognised at a national level by the Ministry of Education, University and Research as an Italian language school. We changed the name of our school into Piccola Università Italiana in 2004 to emphasise its professionalism.
Piccola Università Italiana is the only Italian language school in Italy patronized by the Cultural Ministry for great achievements in the promotion of the Italian language and Italian culture and for the creation of the web portal www.italianculture.net
