Italian holiday courses: Salerno, Italy
Salerno is a small city niched at the heart of the Amalfi littoral strip where cliffs, coves, beaches and turquoise sea mingle...A jewel in the heart of Italy which has managed to preserve its authenticity and its Italian way of life. A city with an important past, Salerno has managed to shine through its knowledge. In the 9th century, it welcomed the "Schola Medica Salernitana", the most important source of medical knowledge throughout the Middle Ages. In the 15th century, with the arrival of the Sanseverino family and the artists and intellectuals they brought with them, Salerno became a veritable centre of knowledge, culture and the arts. In the heart of the historical centre, where the famous Romanesque cathedral and the Arechi castle stand, you feel the air of "dolce vita" which blows today on the city. A walk on along the seafront also plunges us into the typically Mediterranean atmosphere which reigns in the city. A panorama to take your breath away comes to liven up the sweet tasting of a limoncello. A cultural city, Salerno is also the departure point to discover the magnificent surrounding sites, including Pompei, Positano, Sorrento, Capri but also Paestum. Salerno is the place where the learning of a language and cultural discovery are united in harmony. With its extraordinarily beautiful scenery, Salerno is the ideal city for a language study stay in Italy!
