ClassicaMente - Italian Literature

Discover the great writers of Italian literature while improving your Italian. ClassicaMente is a series of ebooks for intermediate learners (CEFR levels B1 and B2) who want to move beyond textbooks and read real authors with confidence.

Each volume introduces one author through clear, accessible Italian. You’ll explore the world the writer lived in, follow their life story, and read summaries of their most famous works, then move on to original passages with difficult words explained right below the text. Speaking and writing activities help you use what you’ve learned, and each book closes with the main themes, the author’s legacy today, and a glossary.

ClassicaMente is ideal for self-study, for lessons with a teacher, and for conversation groups.
