OUR TEAM

Hi, I’m Serena. When you arrive you’ll find me in the reception area, behind my desk. I’m in charge of administration and deal with enrolments, payments, accommodation and other services.

I’m Serafina. My job is to organize and coordinate the courses, assess the levels of the students and divide them into classes. Sometimes I’ll also be your teacher. Along with Serena I will be happy to deal with any questions or requests you might have.

I’m Laura and I’m very pleased to meet you! I teach Italian at Arca and I also deal with marketing and promoting the school: I look after the contacts with clients, advertising, special packages, in other words everything concerning the commercial side of the courses.

Hi, my name’s Andrea and I’m really happy to make your acquaintance. I teach Italian at ARCA and I’m an expert in preparing students for University courses, Masters and PhDs. I’m also a lawyer and a writer, and I will help you discover the beauty and traditions of our marvellous country, with all its different uses and customs. Together we will learn about Italy and enjoy a unique, fascinating and above all unforgettable experience. If you come to see us we can get to know each other better and do our best to make your stay as pleasant as possible!

Hello, my name is Massimo! I've been working at ARCA since 2011, and besides the language courses I also deal with Italian culture: literature, cinema, art. I'm also a music journalist, so we can listen to some pieces and songs together. In class I also like to discuss society, history and politics, as well as the many traditions and customs of our "Belpaese". So I look forward to meeting you all, to share with you a taste of Italy!

Hi, I'm Ludovico, I've been teaching at ARCA for several years and during my lessons I love taking my students on a trip through space and time! My main topics of interest are current affairs and contemporary history, whereas music is my greatest passion and for some months every year it's also my profession, as I play the sax on cruise ships. I'm very keen to help you make friends with the Italian language and the city of Bologna.

Hi! I'm Chiara, one of the Italian teachers, and I will be very pleased to meet you here at ARCA. I was born in Florence but now live in Bologna and I've always been keen on the history of art, in particular that of the Renaissance. This is why I deal with the organization of courses in the history of art. It will be a pleasure for me to spend some afternoons together discovering Bologna or other splendid Italian towns!

Hello my name is Ilaria and I'm a new teacher ARCA. In my classes, I like to involve students with topical issues, culture and travel, my real passion! Together we will discover the wonders of our great city, Bologna, and I'll be happy to accompany you in the afternoon and evening activities, with pleasure and sympathy!
