ITALIAN + SAILING

Piccola Università Italiana offers also the possibility to attend an Italian language and sailing course. It means that you can combine an Italian language course with sailing lessons at our school of Trieste!

The wind is one of the symbols of Trieste. Consequently, the most beloved sport of this city’s inhabitants is sailing.

Trieste is also the city of the “Barcolana”, one of the most regattas of the world attracting around 2,000 participants each year. In Italy, there is probably no better place to sail or to start learning this fascinating sport.

Why not take advantage of the free time during your vacation combining a language course with a sailing course? Doing so, you will be able to discover this fantastic world that will sweep you away and teach you the balance between natural sea force and sailing independently.

The “Italian + Sailing” programme is tailor-made for those who want to enjoy their holiday getting the most out of their trip. It is a perfect mixture of cultural education, Italian Dolce Vita, relax and learning or practicing such a fascinating sport. Enjoy and make the most out of your holidays!

Alternatively, our programme also offers to you the opportunity to attend only the sailing course. This option is ideal for families with children, couples or friends with different interests. While one learns Italian, the others dedicate themselves to their favorite water sport.
