🇮🇹 Last Night Together... ❤️ Just like that, our 🇮🇹 Last Night Together... ❤️ Just like that, our 2026 Matta & Cultura Italiana Italian Language Program has come to an end. The days flew by, and somehow it’s already time to say “Ciao... ci vediamo!” to another wonderful group of Italian language lovers. For our final evening, Paola and I took the group to Le Rocche, nestled in the beautiful hills near Subbiano just outside Arezzo, where the incredible Sara and Michele welcomed us like family. Chef Sara led us through a hands-on cooking class where we prepared an unforgettable Tuscan feast: Homemade ravioli filled with fresh spinach and ricotta Maltagliati pasta with ragù Veal involtini stuffed with prosciutto and pecorino Stuffed tomatoes with parsley, breadcrumbs, and herbs And, of course, tiramisù made from scratch... or, as the Italians say, ad occhio... no measuring cups required! 😄 Between glasses of wine and Prosecco, we rolled pasta, shared Italian expressions, swapped stories, talked about local history, traded family recipes, and laughed our way through the evening. Then came the best part: sitting together in Le Rocche’s beautiful garden to enjoy the meal we had created with our own hands. This is what learning Italian is all about. Not just studying the language, but living it... one conversation, one meal, and one unforgettable memory at a time. Grazie to Paola, Sara, Michele, and to every student who made these two weeks so special. Until next time... Ci vediamo in Italia! 🇮🇹❤️ #StudentessaMatta #MattaItalianTrip #LearnItalian #ItalianImmersion #CulturaItaliana Arezzo

Dolci, dolci, dolci! Niente amaro qui! 🍰 Tra risa Dolci, dolci, dolci! Niente amaro qui! 🍰 Tra risate, chiacchiere e divertenti giochi linguistici con Sara, una fantastica insegnante di Cultura Italiana, il mio gruppo si è concesso una pausa golosa con le deliziose paste della pasticceria Fratelli Pierozzi. Un modo dolcissimo per praticare l’italiano e assaporare Arezzo, una parola e un pasticcino alla volta! #StudentessaMatta #Arezzo #FratelliPierozzi #DolciItaliani #CulturaItaliana
