We did 2 weeks on the standard program at Tiberius the summer before our Erasmus exchange in Italy, and we learned so much! We had been studying some simple grammar and vocabulary the months before, but we had never really spoken in italian. After the two weeks we felt much more confident in talking and can now talk to locals at stores and restaurant about everyday life. The classes were relativly small (5-8 people) which allowed for lots individual supervision. The teachers were very skilled and competent! The school was super helpfull in general and outside classes there were some great guided tours in city and at museums. All in all we left super happy.

Sono stato due settimane alla Tiberius International e sono stato accolto con grande calore fin dal primo giorno. La scuola è aperta, accogliente e familiare. È davvero facile parlare con tutti. Per me è stato particolarmente importante sentirmi libero di parlare italiano senza avere paura di sbagliare. Nessuno ti giudica e tutti ti incoraggiano a provare. Anche gli insegnanti e le altre persone della scuola, con cui magari non si hanno lezioni, ti salutano, parlano con te e ti fanno sentire che sei benvenuto. Mi sono piaciute moltissimo anche le attività organizzate dalla scuola. Non solo ho imparato tante cose interessanti su Rimini, sui suoi monumenti e sulla sua storia, ma ho anche avuto la possibilità di praticare l’italiano in un ambiente rilassato e piacevole. L’atmosfera è serena, spontanea e perfetta per imparare la lingua. Vorrei ringraziare in modo speciale Giulio, che ha accompagnato me e i miei compagni di classe durante queste due settimane. È una persona davvero simpatica, gentile, disponibile, divertente e di grande cuore. Si vede subito che ama stare con le persone e che svolge il suo lavoro con passione. Sono davvero felice di aver scelto questa scuola e la consiglio a chiunque, soprattutto a chi visita Rimini per la prima volta. Anche la posizione è eccellente, perché si trova proprio nel centro della città. La scuola e soprattutto le persone che ho conosciuto hanno superato di gran lunga tutte le mie aspettative. Grazie di cuore per questa bellissima esperienza. Spero davvero di poter tornare presto e *NON VEDO L'ORA* di frequentare di nuovo questa scuola.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful experience at Tiberius International School in Rimini. The teachers are highly professional, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping students learn Italian. The lessons are well organized, interactive, and adapted to different language levels, making it easy to improve both grammar and speaking skills. The school has a friendly and welcoming international atmosphere, so I felt comfortable from the very first day. I also appreciated the cultural activities and the opportunity to meet people from many different countries while practicing Italian in real-life situations. Thanks to Tiberius, I became much more confident using Italian in everyday life. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn Italian in a supportive, professional, and enjoyable environment. Thank you to the entire team for such a great experience!

I had the privilege of learning Italian for two weeks (between April and May 2026) as a student at the Tiberius school. I can only speak highly of my time in Rimini. My very positive impressions and opinions relate to two most important things related to studying at the school and my stay in Rimini: 1. Organizational matters: Monica, the school's head, very competently and efficiently manages the admission process and then assigns students to the appropriate group based on their Italian language level. She also selects accommodations with exceptional accuracy and in accordance with requests. Contact before arrival at the school is practically flawless. All issues related to the school and accommodation are promptly clarified and arranged – an absolutely unique experience, as you can arrive in Timini without the stress of having to finalize any arrangements. Costs, schedules, and plans are clearly communicated. Before classes begin, a test is administered to determine assignment to the appropriate group. That's how I ended up in a group that wasn't below my Italian level (I would have been bored then) nor was it very advanced (I wouldn't have benefited much then). I'm also very grateful for the accommodation offer, which I accepted: I had the pleasure of staying in a private room with a bathroom with an extremely pleasant, elegant, educated, exceptionally understanding, and friendly resident of Rimini, and the school was just a short walk away in a quiet neighborhood. It's also significant that I had the opportunity to easily park my car in a quiet part of town. Additionally, I greatly appreciate the after-class activities, especially trips to important local sites. 2. Pedagogical Issues: The classes were divided into two sections: grammar and conversation. I found this division very apt – the theoretical knowledge acquired can be immediately applied in conversations. I was fortunate to have Giulio teach both types of classes. I must admit that I benefited greatly from his classes. He explained the grammar clearly and understandably, I'd say effectively. Then the best part came during the conversation: we were able to not only practice our newly learned grammar, but also discuss the topics that interested us most: Italian culture, sports, politics, history. Exceptionally inspiring! I absolutely recommend it to anyone considering studying at an Italian language school!

Ho fatto 6 mesi in questa scuola e mi sono trovato benissimo. Gli insegnanti sono bravi e molto pazienti, rispondono sempre a tutte le mie domande. Grazie a loro ho imparato tanto italiano. Mi hanno anche fatto dei piccoli regali che ho apprezzato molto. È un ottimo posto per studiare, grazie di tutto!

Gradara and Fiorenzuola di Focara:

The history of the Gradara Castle owes its fortune to the enviable position that makes it, since ancient times, a crossroads of traffic and people. Straddling between Marche and Romagna, it stands between a hill overlooking the Adriatic Sea and Marche’s valleys. During the Middle Ages, the fortress is one of the main theatres of the clashes between the Papacy and the Houses Marche and Romagna.

The Castle of San Leo:

The impregnable stronghold quoted by Dante in IV Canto of the Purgatory, hosts and collects various exhibitions related to its great and significant history: from the collection of weapons dating back to 1500 to those of the First and Second World Wars; from the instruments of torture to the replica of the fresco of Vasari which represents the taking of San Leo by the Medici family up to exhibitions of contemporary works. The Fortress of San Leo is mainly linked to the life of the famous magician and alchemist Giuseppe Balsamo, Count of Cagliostro, a mysterious and enigmatic “guest” of his prisons.

Ravenna: Dante’s last refuge

The city preserves the remains of Dante Alighieri and keeps his memory alive with important public manifestations. Ravenna is a city full of art and culture. It is the city of mosaics, an ancient city, elected capital three times: of the Western Roman Empire first, of the Gothic Kingdom under Theodoric then, and last of the Byzantine Empire in Europe. The magnificence of that period has left a great legacy of monuments: eight buildings have been declared Unesco World Heritage Site.

COURSE PRICES

The course is available all year round and it can be customized according to the group's needs (min. 4 participants).
