italian language in italy : Learn Italian in Bologna, Italy

People have time to talk to you in Bologna. They really only seem to hurry if their tagliatelle al ragú is on the table - that's spaghetti bolognese to you and me. Nicknamed the Red City for the warm colour of its rooftops and porticoes, Bologna is elegant and embracing in a way that the larger tourist hubs of Rome and Florence can perhaps never be. With a fascinating history taking you back to the 6th century BC, today it is a lively university city in Italy's northeast and still revelling in the glory of being voted a European City of Culture in 2000.

The school is located in the Palazzo Pepoli, a fine medieval building in the historic centre of the city. Established in 1981, it has 10 classrooms and capacity for a maximum of 130 students, who come mainly from western Europe and Scandinavia. All teachers are university graduates with experience and expertise in teaching Italian as a foreign language. Also included in the price of your course is an extra-curricular programme of 6 hours per week, giving you that extra point of contact with Italian life and culture.

Most visitors join the locals as they flock to the Piazza Maggiore and adjacent Piazza del Netuno for a well-earned drink after work. Lined by graceful medieval and Renaissance monuments, these squares are home to bustling cafés, pedestrianised streets and probably the longest network of arcades you’ve ever seen. And the towers of Le Due Torri, albeit at their rather precarious angle, afford excellent views of the city. But at the end of the day, with local eateries or osterias as important to your visit as those museums and churches, you will have at least learned the meaning of 'la grassa' and realised why the Bolognesi are so passionate about their food.

italian language in italy :Italian Monica Belluci as Sonia Gandhi

Monica Belluci will play the role of Sonia Gandhi in a biographical film on the latter’s life, directed by Jagmohan Mundra. Monica was selected for the role due to her striking physical resemblance to Gandhi. The film will tell the story of Sonia Gandhi’s life, from being a simple Italian girl to be married into Indian politics’ first family to becoming the leader of the ruling party in India. Monica is last remembered for her role as Mary Magdalene in the film The Passion of the Christ.
Sunanda Murli Manohar, producer, has confirmed the news. She said: “We were waiting for Monica to hear the script. Her confirmation finally puts a seal on the deal. She’s excited about the prospect of playing Sonia Gandhi. The script by Carl Austen has gone through a number of re-drafts and now we’re ready to roll.”

Rumours were that Aishwarya Rai and Preity Zinta too were considered for the role. Preity however was not interested. She said, ‘Just because Sonia Gandhi and I have dimples it doesn’t mean I’m qualified to play her.’

The film is however not an official biograhy. Ahmed Patel, political secretary to Sonia Gandhi says, “We are not aware of the film. But as far as cooperating with its production is concerned, we will not do it as it is not an official bio-pic.”

Sonia Gandhi was born Antonia Maino in Orbassano, a town 20 km from Turin, Italy. She met Rajiv Gandhi at a language school in Cambridge, England. They married in 1968. After Rajiv Gandhi’s assasination presurre mounted on her to join politics. She finally entered politics just before the 1998 national election and was chosen the president of the Indian National Congress.
