Via Libera series

Everything you need to learn Italian


Let's start with six textbooks ("Via Libera") covering all levels of knowledge, from beginner (A1) to expert (C2). For the first two levels, "Workbooks" are also available, with all the exercises in the n the corresponding textbook, their solutions, and some "extras."

Together with these, there are conversation books ("Via Libera alle chiacchiere", levels A1 and A2; "Di tutto un po'", level B1; "Così si dice, così si fa", level B2), a "travel handbook" for beginners ("Via Libera in vacanza", with phrases you might hear or say in the most common situations, from the airport to the hotel, from the restaurant to the taxi), and a study of all those seemingly insignificant words that give sentences a completely different meaning and flavor ("Parole libere", which is suitable for levels A1 to B1).

Let's not forget geography ("Venti regioni"): region by region (strictly in alphabetical order, so as not to offend anyone), we take you on a tour of Italy's small villages and offer you a page of literature written by those born or lived in that region.

Geography is followed by history ("Frammenti di Rinascimento", for a B2 level, and "Eva nella Storia", volumes 1 and 2, for levels C1 and C2): we don't want to talk about battles, alliances, and invasions, but rather tell you about historical periods from unusual perspectives. You'll find, for example, descriptions of society, fashion, food, theater, and music.

Do you miss studying during the summer or Christmas holidays? Don't worry: there are "holiday books" ("Via Libera sotto l'ombrellone", "Via Libera sotto l'albero", "Via Libera sotto il castagno" and "Via Libera davanti al caminetto" for levels ranging from A1 to B2). Each one of them contains few comprehension, listening, and entertainment exercises.

Are you a fan of pop and opera? You might want to check out "Via Libera cantando e parlando", designed for a B1 level.
