Hi! I'm Adriano, a certified CEDILS teacher with four years of experience, born and raised in Rome.
In addition to Italian, I speak English, French, Spanish, and a bit of Chinese — so I know firsthand the challenges (and the joys!) of learning a new language.
My passion? Turning lessons into cultural journeys.
I love using Italian art, music, and food to make you feel at home in the language. I ride my bike through olive groves, grow tomatoes, and I’m a storyteller at heart — with me, you’ll learn Italian by talking about what inspires you.
Because grammar is important, but the real magic lies in living the language.

Me as a Teacher
I wouldn’t call myself a traditional teacher, but I’m organized and clear when it comes to setting learning goals. I bring a lot of energy and creativity to my lessons, but I also know how to create a relaxed, supportive space — the kind that helps you overcome the blocks that often come with learning a new language.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is highly communicative, with your interests at the heart of every lesson. I always aim to create a friendly, engaging environment where learning feels natural and enjoyable. I truly believe the best way to learn a language is by exploring the culture, history, and traditions behind it — without losing sight of grammar and the key foundations that make real progress possible.

I feel very lucky to have Italian classes with Adriano. He always comes to class prepared with lessons, activities, conversation topics, etc. in the clearest Italian you could possibly imagine. It does wonders for my confidence in understanding spoken Italian! He knows Italian grammar inside and out and is also very well traveled and cultured and can have a conversation about pretty much anything! Today I got to do a very thought-provoking exercise about the limits of art in Italian. I 100% recommend Adriano for your Italian-learning needs! Grazie mille, Adriano, per la lezione di oggi. Come sempre, apprezzo molto il tuo lavoro!

I love these classes with Adriano, they're so much fun! In last class I was introduced to the conditional in Italian and in this class I was able to practice using it during a really fun discussion about traveling. I highly recommend Adriano if you are interested in taking your Italian to another level. He is a certified teacher with loads of experience teaching Italian as a second language. Grazie mille, Adriano, mi è piaciuta moltissimo la lezione di oggi!

Wow, what a fantastic class with Adriano! Today we had a discussion in Italian about homeschooling. It was such an interesting topic to discuss in Italian. I got to learn some new words and expand my vocabulary. As always, Adriano spoke extremely clearly and was able to explain all of the ideas in very clear, understandable Italian at my level. I very much appreciate the care and effort he puts into all of the excellent lessons. Come sempre, grazie mille, Adriano, per l'ottima lezione e l'affascinante discussione. Apprezzo molto il tuo lavoro.

Another super interesting discussion with Adriano in Italian about ethical issues in international volunteering. With Adriano it is not only so easy to understand his extremely clear Italian, but he also provides a space to discuss subjects you are interested in all while practicing your skills in Italian. This helps you build your vocabulary in your field of expertise in Italian. I'm always so happy to recommend Adriano for all of your Italian learning needs! Come sempre grazie mille per la conversazione di oggi, Adriano. Apprezzo molto il tuo lavoro.
